What storm is troubling your life?  Does it feel like a hurricane or a tidal wave overwhelming you, and even overtaking you completely? When life’s storms rage, there’s a calm to be found — and it’s hope in your heart. That Hope is Jesus.  He will never leave or forsake you (Heb 13:5), so you will never walk alone.
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
Read the story of the storm in the life of the pianist who performed the song.

    Do You Know Jesus?

    The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). It also emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, God offers us the incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).

    If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know that today is the day of salvation (Acts 28). Turn away from your sinful past and turn to Jesus. Remember, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Don’t wait—find hope and redemption!
