What We’re Really Asking in the Storm

This message opens a seven-week series built around the questions we ask when life feels uncertain.

The first question is simple, but it sits beneath so much of our fear and anxiety: Am I safe?

Using the story of Jesus calming the storm, this teaching explores why the disciples weren’t just afraid of the waves—they were afraid of what it meant to be in the presence of a God they couldn’t control.

The answer Jesus offers isn’t a promise that storms won’t come. It’s a deeper assurance: I am safe.

Not because nothing bad will happen, but because God is present in the middle of it.

This series isn’t about eliminating fear.

It’s about discovering where our true safety comes from.
