In this talk from Mark 6, we pick up the story right after the feeding of the 5,000 — and straight into a storm.Jesus sends the disciples out onto the lake, the wind rises, fear kicks in, and then Jesus does the unthinkable: He walks on the water to them.The big question we wrestle with is simple:Why would Jesus send them out if the storm was coming?What we see is something deeply reassuring about Jesus:He is never distant. He is never passive. He is never unaware.Jesus is praying, watching, interceding — and then He moves from prayer into action.This message is for anyone who feels like they’re rowing hard, tired, confused, or stuck in a storm you didn’t ask for. Faith is a muscle, and sometimes discipleship looks like obedience when the waters are rough — trusting that if Jesus sends you into it, He will see you through it.And right in the middle of the fear, Jesus speaks the words we all need:“Be brave. It is I. Don’t be afraid.”(And that “It is I” is the language of “I AM.”)You can give here: www.unltd.church/giveCatch all talks here: www.unltd.church/talksTimestamps0:00 – Welcome, TikTok live, baptisms, Mark series recap0:48 – Recap: disciples sent out; John the Baptist executed; Feeding the 5,0002:26 – Setting the scene: Jesus sends them onto the lake2:48 – Bible reading: Mark 6:45–564:10 – Quick discussion: what surprised you in the passage?4:29 – The big question: why send them into the storm?5:19 – Natural and supernatural: God’s provision in both6:26 – Jesus sees them: moving from prayer into action7:54 – Discipleship and storms: Jesus with us / watching over us9:45 – Faith is a muscle: trust, obedience, growth11:50 – The faithful route isn’t always the easy route12:48 – David, the Psalms, and praise in the storm14:40 – Not your 2016 look… your 2036 faith15:09 – Breakout questions16:02 – Two traps: “paddle harder” and forgetting dependence on God18:00 – “Later that night…” and the moment Jesus comes19:07 – Water, resurrection, and a foretaste of what’s to come20:47 – Fear and kindness: Jesus preparing them22:33 – “How can I trust God?” (You learn by trusting)23:33 – Jesus’ compassion can’t be stopped24:30 – The call: be brave / “I AM”25:23 – Conclusion: will you trust Jesus in the storm?#MarkGospel #JesusWalksOnWater #Faith #Discipleship #HolySpirit #Jesus #ChurchOnline #UNLTDChurch #Exeter #Baptisms
