Discover the shocking moment when crowds wanted to crown Jesus as king, but He walked away instead.

This expository preaching dives deep into the Old Testament passages that predicted both a coming king AND a suffering servant. The Storm You Weren't Expecting What happened next is remarkable: Jesus sent His disciples directly into a storm without Him. For three to five miles they rowed in darkness, exhausted and afraid, until Jesus walked on water to reach them.

Learn why God allows storms in our lives and what it means to truly let Jesus into your situation, not just call on Him for deliverance. The Truth About Surrendering Control Most of us want peace in the storm, but we don't want to surrender control.
