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!”
