Come People of the Risen King
Come People of the Risen King
Who delight to bring Him praise
Come all, and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to HimWhere steady arms of mercy
reachTo gather children in.
Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night.
Come, those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace.
Come, young and old from every land,
Men and women of the faith.Come, those with full or
empty hands,Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world His people sing;
Shore to shore we hear them call
The truth that cries through every age:
“Our God is all in all.”
Rejoice!! Rejoice!!Let every tongue rejoice!One heart, one voice,
Oh, Church of Christ,Rejoice!!

v. 37 THE POWER OF THE STORM
Its Suddenness there arose a great storm of wind
The sea can be calm one minute and violent the next.
We will all face storms in life.
In fact, you are in one of 3 places today.
You are either in a storm, just coming out of a storm, or headed into a storm.
v. 37 THE POWER OF THE STORM
Its Suddenness Its Severity
the ship was now full The storms of life include: storms of
suffering; storms of sorrow; storms of sin
There is no storm on earth that Heaven cannot calm!
v. 37 THE POWER OF THE STORM
Its Suddenness Its Severity
Its Source It could have been satanic in
origin “be still” “hold thy peace” “to
be muzzled”He used it to command demons
to be quiet!
The storms in our own lives can come from various sources too.
Sometimes the storms are our own fault.
Sometimes God sends the storms.
Sometimes Satan is allowed to send the storm.
v. 38 THE PROBLEM OF THE STORM
They Doubted His Goodness carest thou not
They Doubted His Grace we perish
The word “leave” means “to let sink” The word “forsake” means that He
won’t “abandon you, desert you or leave you under any circumstances”.
When the storm is raging….He will not let you sink!
The Lord Jesus Christ is absolutely committed to you!
v. 38 THE PROBLEM OF THE STORM
They Doubted His Goodness carest thou not
They Doubted His Grace we perish
They Doubted His Guarantee Let us pass over unto the other side He is absolutely committed to you
and will never forsake you
