"Why does Jesus teach in parables in Mark 4 and how should that shape the way we read and respond to his words today? In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks with Watermark member, Chandler Carlisle about Mark 4-5. They discuss the stories Jesus tells and the stories of Jesus meeting a demon possessed man, a sick woman, and a grieving father, unpacking what they show us about Jesus' heart for people.

Discover powerful spiritual insights from Mark 4:35-41 about maintaining faith during life's unexpected storms. This message explores why difficulties often arise even when we're following God's will, just as the disciples faced a life-threatening tempest while directly obeying Jesus' instructions.
What is a parable? Parables are stories thrown alongside real life to illustrate or explain something. It's a story with a lesson, a creative way to make a point, a mirror to help us see ourselves more clearly. At the end of chapter 4 Jesus says the Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, while he's asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens. The earth produces the crops on its own. The seeds work within the earth automatically, without assistance from the farmer. It's a good reminder that God's kingdom is going to grow, not because of anything that I do, but because of the power inherent in the kingdom itself. It's tempting to look around at the world we live in and think nothing good can grow given these circumstances. Yet woven into the fabric of the universe is the promise that God's good news will grow in us, around us, before us, and beside us.
Mark 4:35-41 (ESV)Andrew and Edwin consider Jesus calming the storm, who that means He is, and why the disciples didn't need to fear.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.

Steve Semas preached this sermon on Mark 4:21-34 on September 28, 2025.
A. SOWER went out to SOW.The trampled path represents a HEART that's HARDENED.The rocky ground represents a HEART with no ROOT system.The thorny ground represents a HEART consumed with earthy DISTRACTIONS.The good ground represents a HEART that wants to produce FRUIT.TAKE AWAYS:We are all SOWERS.We have to understand our own HEARTS.God will give us His WORD to sow.You can't sow GOD'S seed without the HOLY SPIRIT.
Colby Medeiros preached this sermon on Mark 4:1-20 on September 21, 2025.
Join Chris Montgomery in a profound exploration of faith through the lens of Mark 4. This sermon delves into the dual seasons of manifestation and hiddenness in one's spiritual journey, emphasizing trust in God's unseen work. Reflect on how both visible and invisible moments shape our faith, urging us to trust in God's heart even when His hand is not apparent. Prepare your heart for a deeper understanding of spiritual growth and God's continual work in our lives.
September 21, 2025Guest Speaker: Ray GreenOther Scripture used: Colossians 1:15-18; Mark 6:34; John 10:4; Psalm 46:1-3; 2 Timothy 1:7 Main Points: Jesus is All-Powerful Jesus is Deeply Personal Jesus is the Refuge
Life brings storms—unexpected, furious, overwhelming. But in Mark 4:35–41, we see Jesus calm the wind and the waves with a word. He was present in the boat, even when He seemed silent. And just like then, He is present in our storms today.In this message, Safe in the Storm, we learn three powerful truths:1️⃣ We are Safe because He is Present – His silence is not absence.2️⃣ We are Safe because He Shows Us Faith – Jesus models how to stand firm.3️⃣ We are Safe because He reveals His Nature – storms bow to the Creator.

The first parable recorded by the three gospel writers Matthew, Mark, and Luke is a parable about seeds. Jesus explains that like a seeds planted among different types of soil by a farmer, the words and teachings from Him are shared among different types of people. Some reject His words and teachings, some don't allow it to take root, and others give up following the way of Jesus by giving into the worries of this age. But there are a few who hear God's word, receive it by applying it to their lives, and bear good fruit. These are the people who allow God's word to confront and convict them, and who reorient their lives in response. In order to be these types of people, we must receive the seeds God generously wants to share with us, and learn to apply them to our daily lives.
