Jesus is:
This chapter reminds us: We are not just surviving trials — we are being prepared for His appearing.

🎶 Song: “Established in the Storm”
Verse 1
When we could stand it no more inside,
We sent our brother to your side.
Not to control, not to command,
But to help you faithfully stand.
We warned you trials would surely come,
That following Christ is never numb.
Affliction shakes, but does not end
The work of God He will defend.
Pre-Chorus
The tempter moves in silent fear,
But grace is stronger, grace is near.
Chorus
Be established in the storm,
Rooted deep where hope is born.
Not moved by trouble, not torn apart,
Christ is guarding every heart.
If you stand firm, then we live too,
Our joy is tied to the faith in you.
May love increase, may faith abound,
Till holiness in you is found.
Verse 2
Timothy came with radiant news —
Your faith still burns, you did not lose.
You long to see us as we do,
And hold the gospel firm and true.
Through all our distress, through all our fight,
Your steady walk became our light.
For now we live if you remain,
Unshaken through the trial and strain.
Bridge
Lord, make their love overflow,
To friend and stranger, foe and foe.
Strengthen their hearts without blame,
Before our Father at Christ’s return in flame.
Final Chorus
Established in the storm,
Held by hands that were once torn.
When Jesus comes in holy light,
May we be found in Him upright.
Love increasing, hearts made strong,
Waiting for Him won’t be long.
