When we follow Jesus, we may find ourselves in some unexpected challenges. They can even make us fearful, and Jesus encourages us to believe in Him during those “great storms.” For example, in Matthew 8:23-27, Jesus encouraged his disciples to have faith during a time of fear.

The term “world” sounds big, but it can also be very small. For each one of us, our church, family, school, work, and community can be our "small world."
