WIND & WAVES | Chad Narayan

Show Notes

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches from Mark 4:35–41 about the wind and waves of life. The disciples were in a storm not because they had done something wrong, but because they had obeyed Jesus and followed Him into the boat. Pastor Chad reminds us that we can do everything right and still find ourselves in a storm. Storms often arrive without warning and when we are already tired, but they don't mean God has abandoned us. In fact, the storm can be part of the path God is using to strengthen, prepare, and reveal us.

Pastor Chad encourages us not to allow what is happening on the outside to get on the inside. We may not be able to control the wind and waves around us, but we can choose where we place our faith. He emphasizes the importance of godly community and being careful who we “panic with,” because we need people who will remind us to trust God when fear takes over. The message ultimately points us back to Jesus: He is Lord, He is in control, He is our Good Shepherd, our provider, our healer, and He is with us in the boat.

The central encouragement is to keep putting your faith in Jesus and don't quit. There is purpose and destiny on the other side of the storm, and God can use difficult seasons to prepare us for what comes next. Most importantly, Pastor Chad reminds us that Jesus' presence matters more than His power—if His presence is with us, so is His power. Even when it feels like God is sleeping through our storm, He was there the whole time.

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach launches a new series titled In God I Trust with a message called “Jehovah Jireh: My Provider.” Using the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, Pastor Chad teaches that God knows what we need before we know what we will face. Just as God provided a ram in place of Isaac, He remains faithful and trustworthy in every season of life. The message emphasizes that God is not against people having money, but He does not want money to become the thing they trust. As Pastor Chad explains, “God is not mad if you have money. He is mad if money has you.” Believers are called to trust in God’s character, faithfulness, and promises rather than relying solely on their own abilities, finances, or circumstances. today.txt

In this concluding message of the Joshua series, Pastor Chad Veach teaches that “The Season Changed, The Work Has Not.” Drawing from Joshua’s journey into the Promised Land, he reminds the congregation that every season of life brings new responsibilities, but our calling to serve God remains the same. Reaching a breakthrough, achieving success, or receiving what we have prayed for does not mean our work is finished. God still has more for our lives, families, businesses, and communities. As Pastor Chad emphasizes, “Anyone can conquer, not everyone can steward.” We must learn not only to receive God’s blessings but also to care for, grow, and faithfully manage what He entrusts to us.

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach teaches from Joshua 1 about how God prepares us for the promises He has prepared for us. The promise for believers isn't simply a better house, career, or circumstance—the greater promise is Jesus, grace, and everlasting life. Pastor Chad explains that God develops, trains, shapes, and prepares us before bringing us into the next season. Joshua spent years serving under Moses before God called him to step into his own leadership, showing that preparation often happens long before the opportunity becomes visible.
