Let's lift up our local firefighters to the Lord - and the people affected by the wildfires - that He may give them safety and strength.

At approximately 6:00 AM this morning, four members of the Madison County Fire Department departed for Texas, where they are being deployed to assist with the ongoing North Texas wildfire, which has now grown beyond 88,000 acres.

Our crew will be operating in the Palo Pinto, Texas, area alongside firefighters from across the country. Six engine companies from Tennessee are responding to assist Texas during this devastating incident.

Please join us in praying for our members as they travel safely and begin their work alongside our fellow firefighters. We also ask that you keep all of the first responders and the many individuals and families affected by these wildfires in your thoughts and prayers.

Please keep the people of Texas in your prayers during this difficult time. 🇺🇸🔥

We are proud of our firefighters and honored to support our brothers and sisters in Texas.

Jesus Is Stronger Than Our Fears
The evening Jesus calmed the fierce gale on the Sea of Galilee, His disciples were terrified. Watching a storm from shore is one thing - dramatic but distant. But when you're in the boat with waves crashing over the sides and rain pelting your face, fear becomes very real. We all face storms of some sort: physical crises, relational ruptures, financial pressures, overwhelming circumstances. When troubles hit, we might find ourselves crying out, "God, where are You?" He is where He's always been. The problem isn't His absence; it's that fear can make it hard to see Him clearly. Let's remember that this is Jesus, whose voice commands nature itself. He is sovereign over every type of storm we face (1 John 4:4). Our Savior knows that we are frail (Ps. 103:13-14), and He doesn't stand at a distance critiquing our panic. He is present with us in the chaos, and He speaks peace into our heart even when the circumstances haven't changed yet. With three words, Jesus calmed a storm instantly. Sometimes He calms our storms just as quickly. Other times, He calms us in the midst of them, giving us His peace while the waves still rage. Either way, He is faithful. When we turn to Him in trust, we discover that His presence is always more than enough.
