SIGNS Week 6

Aug 9, 2026    Todd Stanley

What do we do when the storm hits and we cannot see the shore on the other side? In this message, we explore one of the most vivid and personal miracles recorded in the Gospel of John, the moment Jesus walks across a raging sea to reach his disciples in the dark. But this is more than a story about water and wind. It is a story about us, about the storms we face, and about what God is doing in the middle of them. We are invited to consider that storms are not random or meaningless. They can change our direction when we have drifted toward lesser things, correct our course when we have been running the wrong way entirely, and refine our faith into something far more durable and genuine than it was before. The disciples had just witnessed Jesus feed five thousand people, and yet they still had so much to learn about who he truly was. Sometimes the greatest miracles are not the ones that happen on the shore for the crowd, but the ones that happen in the boat, in the dark, in the storm, meant only for us. If we have been rowing against a headwind for what feels like forever, this message speaks directly to that exhaustion and offers something more powerful than relief. It offers the presence of the one who is greater than the storm.
