Luke 8:22-25

Urban Chaplain Heath Meikle examines the account of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee, drawing from Luke 8:22-25 to explore what the disciples' terror and Jesus' rebuke of the wind and waves reveal about his divine authority. The sermon challenges listeners to confront the gap between intellectual belief in Christ and genuine, tested faith that holds steady when life becomes dangerous and unpredictable. Meikle uses the disciples' desperate cry — "We are perishing!" — as a mirror for the congregation to examine where they actually place their trust when circumstances spiral beyond their control.
