When there is a big scary storm going on, what do you do to stay brave? Do you find your parents and hide under them? Maybe you even like storms? Arlo and the gang learned about a storm that was especially scary for some fishermen, but Jesus took a nap right in the middle of it!Jesus Calms the Storm“When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Silence! Be still!' Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.” (Mark 4:39)Mark 4:35-41Jesus told us in scripture that we will face many trials in this life (John 16:33). This is a fact of life – not an “if,” but a “when.” Maybe you have not experienced trials yet or maybe you have been through more than your fair share of struggle. Whatever the case may be, God can handle it.Jesus demonstrates His power to the disciples by effortlessly calming a raging storm after suggesting He and the disciples cross the lake in a boat. Soon after setting off on their journey, a storm, described as “fierce,” comes upon them. The boat began to fill with water and, understandably so, the disciples began to panic. They looked around for Jesus, but could not find Him. Eventually, they found Him sleeping peacefully in the back of the boat. He was unfazed by the storm because He was not afraid. The disciples began yelling, “Don't you care that we are going to drown?” Jesus woke up and using only His voice, instructed the waves and wind to be still. Immediately, the storm subsided.Once the storm had ended, Jesus turned to His disciples and asked, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” In the midst of a raging storm, Jesus felt peace because He knew He was stronger than the storm. He would not let it bring down the ship. Yet, the disciples let fear consume them when they faced the storm, not believing that Jesus could save them.When trials or “storms” enter our lives, it is easy to let our fear lead us. Let this miracle be a testament to the power of Christ in our lives. By calming the dangerous storm, He showed us that He can calm any type of storm we are facing. When something scary happens, we do not have to be afraid because Jesus has proved that He is more powerful than anything we will face, including nature.Questions to think about:What storm are you facing?What stands in the way of you handing over your fear to Christ?Is there a time in your life when Jesus has calmed a storm you faced? Trust that He can do it again.

Rita also mentioned the importance of waking up the Holy Spirit within oneself to avoid the "shipwreck of the soul." 13:11 Faith, Dependence, and God's Presence Rita discussed the importance of faith and dependence on God, using the story of Simon the Apostle standing on water as an example.

In this episode, we're taking a look at a portion of Luke chapter 8. This passage challenges us, but it also encourages us to go all-in with Jesus, trusting Him utterly & completely, believing that He is who He says He is and that He does exactly what He has promised to do. This episode sponsored by Heather Creekmore's book Aging Gratefully, available on Amazon. Jesus Calms the Storm 22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. 23 As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger. 24 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we're going to drown!” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. 25 Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!” Thanks for listening to the podcast & I hope it has been encouraging for you!
Jesus Calms a Storm 4.35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” 36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” 41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” English Standard Version (ESV) The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

Jesus Calms the Storm: A Lesson in Faith and TrustIn this powerful Bible story, Jesus demonstrates His divine authority over nature and teaches a profound lesson in faith. As evening falls, Jesus and His disciples set out to cross to the other side of the lake, leaving the crowd behind. Suddenly, a furious storm erupts, and the boat is nearly swamped by the crashing waves. Despite the chaos, Jesus is found asleep in the stern, resting on a cushion. Terrified, the disciples wake Him, pleading for their lives.With calm authority, Jesus rises and rebukes the wind and waves, commanding, "Quiet! Be still!" Instantly, the storm ceases, and a great calm settles over the waters. Turning to His disciples, Jesus questions their fear and lack of faith, challenging them to trust in His power and presence. Astonished, the disciples marvel at Jesus' command over the elements, wondering, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"Join us as we explore this miraculous event, reflecting on the significance of faith in times of trial and the assurance that Jesus is with us in every storm. Through this story, we are reminded of Jesus' omnipotence and His call for us to trust Him, no matter the circumstances.#JesusCalmsTheStorm #BibleStudy #FaithAndTrust #GospelOfMark #MiraclesOfJesus #ChristianFaith #DivineAuthority #SpiritualGrowth #TrustInGod #StormsOfLifeSupport the Show.Moved to give? http://dschurch.link/givedoralFor more info about our church please visit our website: https://divinesaviorchurch.com/dscdor/
Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | Luke 8:22-25
When It Looks the Darkest, God Shines the Brightest • Friday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Tonight, we gather to reflect on the profound truth that when our circumstances seem darkest, God's light shines the brightest. Throughout the Bible, we find numerous stories where God's power and presence become most evident in times of great difficulty and despair. These stories remind us that God is always at work, even in our darkest moments, and His glory often shines through in the most unexpected ways. 1. Joseph's Imprisonment and Rise to Power Genesis 50:20 (NKJV) "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." 2. The Exodus and the Parting of the Red Sea Exodus 14:13-14 (NKJV) "And Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.'" 3. Daniel in the Lion's Den Daniel 6:22-23 (NKJV) "My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.' Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God." 4. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Fiery Furnace Daniel 3:24-25 (NKJV) "Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, 'Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?' They answered and said to the king, 'True, O king.' 'Look!' he answered, 'I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.'" 5. Jesus Calms the Storm Mark 4:39-40 (NKJV) "Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, 'Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?'" 6. The Resurrection of Lazarus John 11:43-44 (NKJV) "Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!' And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Loose him, and let him go.'" 7. Paul and Silas in Prison Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV) "But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed."
One of the things we learn from this incident on the Sea of Galilee is that the disciples still have a lot to learn about Jesus. To be a disciple means that you are a learner. So it was with the twelve. So it is with us. They were not disciples, and we are not disciples, because of what we know, but rather we are disciples because we need to continue to learn and grow in our understanding of who Jesus is and what He means for our lives. It is a lifetime endeavor, a venture that brings innumerable blessings into our hearts and lives, and into the hearts and lives of others. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Fifth Sunday after Pentecost Bible Readings Job 38:1-11 Acts 27:13-26 Worship Folder Pastor John Melke Sermon text: Mark 4:35-41 Jesus Calms the Storm 35 On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to them, “Let's go over to the other side.” 36 After leaving the crowd behind, the disciples took him along in the boat, just as he was. Other small boats also followed him. 37 A great windstorm arose, and the waves were splashing into the boat, so that the boat was quickly filling up. 38 Jesus himself was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him and said, “Teacher, don't you care that we are about to drown?” 39 Then he got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still lack faith?” 41 They were filled with awe and said to one another, “Who then is this?

One of the things we learn from this incident on the Sea of Galilee is that the disciples still have a lot to learn about Jesus. To be a disciple means that you are a learner. So it was with the twelve. So it is with us. They were not disciples, and we are not disciples, because of what we know, but rather we are disciples because we need to continue to learn and grow in our understanding of who Jesus is and what He means for our lives. It is a lifetime endeavor, a venture that brings innumerable blessings into our hearts and lives, and into the hearts and lives of others. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

When there is a big scary storm going on, what do you do to stay brave? Do you find your parents and hide under them? Maybe you even like storms? Arlo and the gang learned about a storm that was especially scary for some fishermen, but Jesus took a nap right in the middle of it!Jesus Calms the Storm“When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Silence! Be still!' Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.” (Mark 4:39)Mark 4:35-41Jesus told us in scripture that we will face many trials in this life (John 16:33). This is a fact of life – not an “if,” but a “when.” Maybe you have not experienced trials yet or maybe you have been through more than your fair share of struggle. Whatever the case may be, God can handle it.Jesus demonstrates His power to the disciples by effortlessly calming a raging storm after suggesting He and the disciples cross the lake in a boat. Soon after setting off on their journey, a storm, described as “fierce,” comes upon them. The boat began to fill with water and, understandably so, the disciples began to panic. They looked around for Jesus, but could not find Him. Eventually, they found Him sleeping peacefully in the back of the boat. He was unfazed by the storm because He was not afraid. The disciples began yelling, “Don't you care that we are going to drown?” Jesus woke up and using only His voice, instructed the waves and wind to be still. Immediately, the storm subsided.Once the storm had ended, Jesus turned to His disciples and asked, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” In the midst of a raging storm, Jesus felt peace because He knew He was stronger than the storm. He would not let it bring down the ship. Yet, the disciples let fear consume them when they faced the storm, not believing that Jesus could save them.When trials or “storms” enter our lives, it is easy to let our fear lead us. Let this miracle be a testament to the power of Christ in our lives. By calming the dangerous storm, He showed us that He can calm any type of storm we are facing. When something scary happens, we do not have to be afraid because Jesus has proved that He is more powerful than anything we will face, including nature.Questions to think about:What storm are you facing?What stands in the way of you handing over your fear to Christ?Is there a time in your life when Jesus has calmed a storm you faced? Trust that He can do it again.

Mark 4:21-35 Mark 4:21–35 (Listen) A Lamp Under a Basket 21 And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? 22 For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. 25 For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” The Parable of the Seed Growing 26 And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. 27 He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. 28 The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” The Parable of the Mustard Seed 30 And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, 32 yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” 33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. 34 He did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything. Jesus Calms a Storm 35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” (ESV)
