Revealing the Light of Life in Time of Darkness

We all face ‘storms’, they are inevitable to life. What matters is how we prepare ourselves beforehand in order to live through them and emerge on the other side.

In 2020, the outbreak of Coronavirus across the world meant life as ‘normal’ suddenly changed for everyone as people, jobs and routines that previously defined ‘normal’ were removed. Whilst this threat has disappeared, there will always be other challenging situations to take its place. In each one the test for us is the same: how will we stand? Only a full assurance of who our God is and who He has called us to be through Jesus’ blood will enable us to stand strong in Him as well as reach out an arm offering the certain hope of the gospel to others who are floundering.

These ‘storms’ and challenges offer us real opportunities to shine the Light of Life we carry in our hearts but it will not shine if our foundation is unstable and we do not know the nature, promises, character and faithfulness of our covenant-keeping God. These things are the true hope of the gospel the people around us need too.

Some years ago I found a photograph of a lighthouse standing strong in the midst of an angry swirling sea. The waves were so high they reached half-way up the side of the building. When I looked more closely I could see the lighthouse keeper stood in the doorway with his arms folded and every appearance of calm and peace. This image really spoke to me and since then I have been taken on a journey with God which I now share with you in Through The Storm.

Through the Storm contains daily Bible readings, teaching and questions to prompt growth in your relationship with God. How you use it is up to you. Please click on this link to read some testimonies.
