Faith isn’t the absence of storms—it’s confidence in the presence of Jesus.
In this message from Matthew 14:22–33, we explore Jesus walking on the water and what it means to trust Him in the middle of life’s storms. Even when the disciples were obeying Jesus, they still faced a storm—but they weren’t alone. Learn why obedience doesn’t guarantee ease, how Jesus reveals Himself in fear, and how fixing our eyes on Him leads us from fear to worship.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Jubilee City Church Podcast!
As we prepare to officially launch on January 10, Pastor Aaron shares a devotional from our January 3rd prayer service focused on preparation, prayer, and consecration.

Drawing from Joshua 3 and 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, this episode invites us to examine our hearts and ask what God may be calling us to lay down as we prepare for what He wants to do — not just in our church, but in our lives.

1. Follow Jesus
God called the Israelites to “break camp” and follow the Ark of the Covenant into unfamiliar territory. Following Jesus often means leaving what’s comfortable — habits, thought patterns, or familiar places — and trusting that God gives good directions.

2. Consecrate Yourself
“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”
Consecration is a call to set ourselves apart — cutting away anything unclean or distracting so we can follow Jesus fully, with surrender and faith.

3. Step Into the River
Before the miracle happened, the priests had to step into the Jordan. Faith often requires obedience before we see the breakthrough. God calls us to step into the water, pray boldly, and trust Him to move.

As a church family, we are committing to pray without ceasing — for our city, for the people God will draw, and for one another. This episode is an invitation to pray with expectancy and prepare your heart for what God wants to do next.

• Joshua 3:2–8

• Joshua 3:5

• 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

As you listen, ask yourself:

• What is God asking me to leave behind?

• What area of my life needs consecration?

• Where is He calling me to step out in faith?

Join us in praying as Jubilee City Church launches and as we trust God to do wonders among us.
