First Cary UMC's First Sanctuary Sermon  –  Rev. Ben Alexander  – August 17, 2025

Scripture: Luke 8:22-25

In Luke 8:22-25, a violet storm breaks out, pushing the disciples and Jesus toward capsizing. In the boat, the disciples spiral while Jesus sleeps. Upon waking him, Jesus calms the waters with a simple word. In the midst of life’s chaos, how might we respond to the question of Christ: where is our faith? What might it mean for us to experience the calming peace of Christ’s presence?
