WHEN YOU'RE IN A STORM YOU BETTER KNOW WHICH BOAT YOU'RE ON - Tim Dilena

Times Square Church - Sermons

About this episode

Storms are inevitable. But what if the most important question is not how to escape the storm, but whether you're heading in the right direction?

In this Sunday message, Pastor Tim Dilena explores two powerful stories from Scripture: Jonah running away from God and the disciples following Jesus into a storm. Both faced overwhelming circumstances, but their storms had different purposes. One needed to change direction. The others needed to discover more of who Jesus really is.

Through biblical teaching, personal experiences, and an honest invitation to examine our lives, Pastor Tim challenges us to stop asking God simply to stabilize what is broken and allow Him to transform us from within. Whether you're struggling with fear, uncertainty, unhealthy patterns, or decisions that have taken you off course, there is hope. The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead can give you the strength to change, the courage to trust, and the faith to move forward.
