This weekend we are blessed to have Kris Schonewolf with us at Lake Deaton to bring the message. Please take time to watch the video, read the Scripture and reflect on the questions and we will see you Sunday!
Mark 4:35-41
Mark 4:35 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?”
Mark 4:39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
Mark 4:40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
Mark 4:41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Reflection Questions:
In this week’s scripture we see Jesus calming a storm when the disciples were afraid for their lives. The curious thing is that after he calms the storm Jesus admonishes his disciples for having no faith.
1. How does that make you feel?
2. Was his response justified? Was Jesus being too hard on them?
3. What about us? What would we have done in the storm?
4. What do we do in the storms of our lives today?
5. Would Jesus accuse us of having no faith?
