The Storm

Mark 4:35–41 (CSB)

35On that day, when evening had come, he told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the sea.”

36So they left the crowd and took him along since he was in the boat. And other boats were with him.

37A great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped.

38He was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher! Don’t you care that we’re going to die?”

39He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Silence! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40Then he said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

41And they were terrified and asked one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”

The Great Storm

Whats happens to you under pressure?

Under pressure whats inside comes out.

You and I are glorified ketchup bottles.

We still hide, we lie, we cheat, we blame others,

You know you are growing when you are squeezed and trust comes out

What should come out:

Ps 94:18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,”

your faithful love will support me, Lord.n

19 When I am filled with cares, your comfort brings me joy.

John 16:33 (CSB)

33I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”

James 1:12

“12 BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT ENDURETH TEMPTATION: FOR WHEN HE IS TRIED, HE SHALL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE, WHICH THE LORD HATH PROMISED TO THEM THAT LOVE HIM.”

Psalm 118:5-6

“5 I CALLED UPON THE LORD IN DISTRESS: THE LORD ANSWERED ME, AND SET ME IN A LARGE PLACE.6 THE LORD IS ON MY SIDE; I WILL NOT FEAR: WHAT CAN MAN DO UNTO ME?”

Jeremiah 29:11

“11 FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD YOU, SAITH THE LORD, THOUGHTS OF PEACE, AND NOT OF EVIL, TO GIVE YOU AN EXPECTED END.”

Isaiah 40:28–31 (CSB)

28Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. He never becomes faint or weary; there is no limit to his understanding.

29He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless.

30Youths may become faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall,

31but those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint.

Some storm come to expose the storms in us

MOCKED BY THE MILITARY 27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the governor’s residence and gathered the whole company around him. 28 They stripped him and dressed him in a scarlet robe. 29 They twisted together a crown of thorns, put it on his head, and placed a staff in his right hand. And they knelt down before him and mocked him: “Hail, king of the Jews!” 30 Then they spat on him, took the staff, and kept hitting him on the head. 31 After they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him. CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO CRIMINALS 32 As they were going out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They forced him to carry his cross. 33 When they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of the Skull), 34 they gave him wine mixed with gall to drink. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it. 35 After crucifying him, they divided his clothes by casting lots., 36 Then they sat down and were guarding him there. 37 Above his head they put up the charge against him in writing: This Is Jesus, the King of the Jews. 38 Then two criminals were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. 39 Those who passed by were yelling insults at him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” 41 In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him and said, 42 “He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God; let God rescue him now—if he takes pleasure in him! For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” 44 In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with him taunted him.

1 They crucified my Lord, and he never said a mumbalin’ word; they crucified my Lord, and he never said a mumbalin’ word. Not a word, not a word, not a word.

2 They nailed him to a tree, and he never said a mumbalin’ word; they nailed him to a tree, and he never said a mumbalin’ word. Not a word, not a word, not a word.

3 They pierced him in the side, and he never said a mumbalin’ word; they pierced him in the side, and he never said a mumbalin’ word. Not a word, not a word, not a word.

4 The blood came trickalin’ down, and he never said a mumbalin’ word; the blood came trickalin’ down, and he never said a mumbalin’ word. Not a word, not a word, not a word.

5 He bowed his head and died, and he never said a mumbalin’ word; he bowed his head and died, and he never said a mumbalin’ word. Not a word, not a word, not a word.

The storm in them, only exposed the peace in Him.

Father forgive them for they no not what they do

You cant just let people walk all over you Jesus

The way of Jesus is the way towards mega calm

If the world was counseling Jesus; Jesus you just need to cut some folk off…

My mental health day is the crown of thorns

Philippians 4:2–7 (CSB)

2I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to agree in the Lord.

3Yes, I also ask you, true partner, to help these women who have contended for the gospel at my side, along with Clement and the rest of my coworkers whose names are in the book of life.

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

5Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

6Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

The Great Calm

THE DEATH OF JESUS 45 From noon until three in the afternoon, darkness came over the whole land., 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá sabachtháni?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”, 47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling for Elijah.” 48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and offered him a drink. 49 But the rest said, “Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.” 50 But Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit. 51 Suddenly, the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth quaked, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were also opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 And they came out of the tombs after his resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many. 54 When the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” 55 Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and looked after him were there, watching from a distance. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

40 Then he said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

No faith

English Standard Version (Chapter 21)

8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

They were terrified because they were starting to realize who was on their boat.

Jesus has come to deal with the storm of sin raging in all of us.

Jesus expected them to handle the storm differently.

Mega storms need right placed faith
