Jesus in the Storm


Listen Later

In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores the story of Jesus calming the storm from Mark's Gospel, using it to address how believers can find peace amid life's turbulent circumstances. The message delves into the historical context of the Sea of Galilee and first-century fishing boats to help us understand the disciples' fear during the violent storm. Pastor Mark emphasizes that the disciples misunderstood both Jesus's intentions and authority—moving from fear of the storm to an even greater fear (awe) of Jesus when He calmed the waters with just His words. He defines this "fear of the Lord" as being filled with awe when God's holiness and kindness outweigh everything else in the room. Through vivid descriptions of modern storms—financial anxiety, marital distance, chronic illness, and spiritual weariness—Pastor Mark challenges listeners to recognize that Jesus has already conquered the greatest storm: eternal separation from God. He concludes with three key principles: faith isn't denying the storm but defying its verdict, safety is found in a person (Jesus) not a place, and peace comes from the presence of God's Word rather than the absence of waves.
