Guest speaker David White continues the "Kingdom Now" series in Matthew 8, showing that wherever God's kingdom arrives, chaos is confronted—but comfort is challenged.He examines two powerful encounters: Jesus calming a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee, where panicked disciples question His care despite His presence, and Jesus casting demons from two violent men into a herd of pigs in Gentile territory. The restored men return to community, but the townspeople—upset by the economic loss—beg Jesus to leave, preferring familiar chaos to costly change.David stresses Jesus' absolute authority over external storms and internal oppression, yet following Him requires denying self and embracing discomfort rather than seeking ease. He contrasts “Couch Jesus” (comfort-focused) with “Coach Jesus” (growth-focused), urging the dangerous prayer: “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”—inviting God to confront chaos in marriages, families, finances, and mental health, while trusting Him through the inevitable challenges.Core truth: The kingdom is now—actively confronting chaos and challenging comfort—because Jesus loves us too much to leave us unchanged.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

The Jesus Story: Wk. 8 (Jesus Calms the Storm)
Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, comments on the amount of evil that seems to be swirling across our land and the world, even during the days of Christmas celebrations. He reflects on the story of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee. He points out that this story is an unbelievable miracle and at the same time to be expected by the one who took part in the creation of the universe. It is pointed out that Christians often mistakenly use this story to teach about how Jesus calms the storms of life, but that the story is actually about trusting Jesus and the power that he has to lead us through difficulties. Dr. Hall points out that we should see the storms of our life as our friends because it is during these times that we turn to God. Dr. Hall closes the podcast reminding listeners that when Jesus was born in the manger God gave us a Savior whose powers beyond our comprehension.

When the storm came, the disciples cried out in terror, but Jesus rose and with a word stilled the sea. Who is this man that even the waters obey him? He is not just a teacher, not just a prophet, but the very Son of God with all authority in heaven and on earth. And if he can calm the storm on the Sea of Galilee, he can calm the storms in our lives today.So where is your faith? Do you trust him when the winds howl and the waves rise high? The disciples had faith enough to follow but not yet faith enough to rest in him. Yet they grew into men who would lay down their lives for the gospel. If your faith feels weak or not yet there, come closer to Jesus. Pray. Open the Word. Spend time with him. The same Christ who rebuked the storm will strengthen you, guide you, and give you boldness to proclaim his name in a broken world that desperately needs him.

JULY 27 | IV The Power of the King | Mark 4:35-41That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don't you care if we drown?”He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this?

#bible #podcast #jesuschrist #healing #biblestudy #disciples #discipleshipjourney #discipleshipjourney In this episode, Ric and Mary discuss the profound message that the Lord Jesus Christ shares with His disciples and followers as He crosses the Sea of Galilee. They explore His journey from healing many to enduring a storm and arriving on the shores of Gentile territory, where He encounters demonic activity. Join Bible Study Company to learn more about Jesus as a man, Jesus as God, and Jesus as our Savior.
In this series, we will spend time exploring three miracles from the Gospel of Mark. Mark tells these stories as a way of revealing the identity of Jesus, but they are more than intellectual proofs of his divinity. These miracles beg for a response. We hope walking in these stories will be more than a learning experience. Our prayer is that we might encounter Jesus in all his creative, restorative love, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the miraculous work of Christ in our lives. This week, we explored the story of Jesus calming the storm. Joan invited us to open ourselves to encounter Jesus and allow him to expand our image of God. How is he with us in the storms of life, and how might Jesus bring peace to our souls even in the midst of the storm? If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the Core Team.

Storms can be scary... unless you know you're safe. Then they're kind of fun! But how can you know if you are safe? The disciples were scared of a storm in this episode. But they didn't need to be! Find out why they were so safe.Jesus is more powerful than any stormJesus 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.

Through parables, Jesus teaches the upside-down kingdom. Through His continued miracles and teachings, Jesus builds the disciples in an unusual way in order to establish His kingdom on earth.
