Where is Your Faith?

Luke 8:22-25 — When all things seem against us, and we’re blinded by despair, we are called to have faith in Jesus Christ. Often, the storms of life lead us to feelings of hopelessness. We’re scared. We believe we’re lost. We don’t know if we can survive this next storm. What’s worse: it seems that God does not care. In this sermon on Luke 8:22-25, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues to tackle this issue of spiritual depression through an examination of the disciples’ own fear. As a storm at sea threatens their lives, Jesus rebukes first the storm, and then the disciples––they lack faith. The lesson is simple: Christians should never live in a state of terror. Yet, too often, we do. Our problem is no different than these disciples as we question Jesus’ commitment to us. And our call is the same. We must not question God’s goodness, but trust Him. We must have full confidence in Jesus. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the nature and character of faith. Faith is not an automatic response in the believer, but something one must exercise. Does Jesus care about us? Yes, He does. He will always receive us, bless us, and give us peace. Trust the God who calms the storm.
