No 'But First' — Total Surrender Required

Storms are inevitable, but fear doesn’t have to be.

In Matthew 8, Jesus reminds us that following Him will cost us everything — but He is faithful through it all. Even when life feels uncertain, overwhelming or out of control, we can trust that God is still sovereign and still good. The same Jesus who calmed the wind and the waves is able to bring peace to the storms we face today.

God never wastes a hurt.
