BIG PICTURE: Sometimes it is easy for us to blame God for not being there in the toughest portions of our lives. We are like the poem writer of the sand quote featured in most bathrooms in midwest America. The Disciples thought in the storm that Jesus didn’t care, he did, because he was in the boat with them.
TEXT: Mark: 4:35-41
KEY VERSE: “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.”
JESUS IS WITH ME
Storms are
Storms are
Storms are
Fear is often rooted in
JESUS CARES ABOUT
Where was Jesus during the storm?
….He was in the
When we tell Jesus “I’m hurt”
…Jesus says “I know”.
NEXT STEPS: How have you responded to Jesus in the storms of your life? Have you blamed Jesus for not being there? Pray for the biggest storm in your life right now. Before and after the prayer say aloud “Jesus is with me”.
