Jesus Calms the Storms

Jesus Calms the Storms

Mark 4:35-40

• Here is this storm and is completely sound asleep. Jesus has no fear and is in complete peace of mind, body and spirit!
• What did the disciples think about Jesus taking a nap during this time?
• What was their question of Jesus?
• Fear caused them to doubt Jesus (Gods) love for them.
• Worry created a mixture of emotions from anger, to fear, to worry, to hopelessness!
• What question did Jesus have for the disciples?
• He wanted to know where their faith was.
• To Jesus this was a small thing that should not have been an issue of faith.
• Think of all the miracles that the disciples witnessed before this miracle.
• Have you accused God of being careless with your situation?
• What do you do when the storms of life hit?
• What do you turn to?
• Do you go back to the word of God.
• Do you seek God in prayer?
Psalms 121:1-8
• Who is your helper?
• We have to be convinced of this to be able to have faith when the storms of life come!
• The Psalmist says that God will not sleep and he will not slumber. He will not let your foot slip!
Psalm 23:1-6
Psalm 13:1-6
• God gives us the space to work out our fear and doubt.
• As long as we turn to God with our laments and with our fear and doubt God will listen to us!
• The psalmist takes all his worry, fear, and doubt and decides to trust in God's unfailing love, and in his salvation!
Romans 5:6-8
• God has already demonstrated the lengths he will go to save us!
