Pastor YaQuis Shelley breaks down Jesus walking on water, showing that storms aren’t random—they have purpose. The disciples, stuck in the middle, struggled with fear and doubt despite witnessing miracles, revealing hardened hearts. This message challenges us to examine our response to trials: are we led by faith or fear? If we don’t learn the lesson, the test will return—often harder. Through Peter, we see that focusing on Jesus sustains us, but fear makes us sink. Still, when we cry out, Jesus responds immediately. Ultimately, this word calls us to grow, change, and trust God fully.Church WebsiteSalvation & PlantingWays to GiveUpcoming Events©2026 YaQuis Shelley Ministries

Are you ready to go deeper in your walk with God? In this Bible Study, Prophetess Newsome highlights the need for both a strong prayer life and a solid foundation in Scripture. Using the image of a palm tree, she explains that prayer gives spiritual height, but the Word gives depth—and without depth, believers can be shaken by life’s storms.Prayer connects and empowers us, while the Word strengthens and grounds us. Both are essential for true spiritual growth. When neglected, we become weak—but when embraced, we gain strength, understanding, and begin to see real fruit in our lives.Church WebsiteSalvation & PlantingWays to GiveUpcoming Events©2026 YaQuis Shelley Ministries
