MATT Good morning! I’m Matt Farmer, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church in Meridian. A disabled submarine was stranded on the ocean floor. Several days passed and the hope of rescue was waning. As the oxygen supply began to run out, the men gradually weakened. One sailor was affected more quickly than the others and lurched forward, crashing against the vessel’s surfacing equipment. Suddenly, the faulty mechanism began to operate, and the vessel slowly rose from the ocean floor. They all made it back to port safely. Greater than any deliverance from a literal sea is God’s provision for those who are trapped in the ocean of unbelief. If you are caught in the grip of sin, Jesus alone can give you a new start. Put your trust in the Savior and you will be lifted out of the waters of judgment and into the sunlight of God’s forgiveness.
