SUNDAY BEST - Encouragement In The Storm (Part I) w/ Zac Gageler

Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
We all face unexpected situations and storms in life. Whether it be financial, relational, emotional or circumstantial, each of us will inevitably face a storm that we can’t control. How we chose to respond will often determine whether we sink or swim, whether we survive or are broken by it. On his journey back to Rome, the Apostle Paul faces a significant storm, and from his experience, we draw some key principles that are God’s encouragement to us in the storms of our own.
