                                            <![CDATA[Storms, both literal and figurative, are part of our everyday life. In scripture we see much of the same: literal storms can redirect our plans and metaphorical ‘storms of life’ have a way of shaping our beliefs &amp; trust in God. This week, Jeff looks at Paul’s famous shipwreck on the island of Malta. What can we learn about our faith through this literal storm and how can Paul’s response impact our relationship with God? Listen in as Jeff explores Acts 27 &amp; 28 and how the storms of life can increase our experience of God’s presence &amp; purpose in our lives.]]>

But in Psalm 40 we learn about the true pit of despair, a life knocked down and far from God. Thankfully, because of God’s great love He promises to rescue us from this pit of despair and consequently, one of our most natural responses is to Praise Him and Tell Others. Jeff continues our message by looking at how Psalm 40 is a great example of how we can share our faith with others.]]>
