Sleeping Jesus

Sermon Title: Sleeping Jesus
Speaker: John Huh

Synopsis: There are times when we wonder if Jesus really
cares about us.  When we face the storms of life and have to
get to the other side, how do we trust in God and not lose
faith?  In today's passage, God has a word for the wind and
the waves, and it brings hope in midst of chaos.

Scripture: Mark 4:35-41

Jesus Calms the Storm
35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples,
“Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd
behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There
were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came
up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly
swamped. 38 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?”


39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves,
“Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely
calm.


40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do
you still have no faith?”


41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this?
Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
