Mark 4:35–41 (ESV) - On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the
other side.” 36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat… 37 And a great windstorm
arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 38 But he was in
the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that
we are perishing?” 39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And
the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you
still no faith?” 41 And they said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey
him?”
1 - PURPOSE - “Let us go across to the other side.”
2 - PROBLEM - And a great windstorm arose (“suddenly”), and the waves were breaking into
the boat, so that the boat was already filling
Mark 4:37 (MSG) - A huge storm came up. Waves poured into the boat, threatening to sink it.
3 - PANIC – “Do you not care that we are perishing?”
Perishing – to lose; be lost; to die
Sensory perception is the process by which the brain interprets and organizes information gathered
from our five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell), allowing us to understand and interact
with the world
Storms = nature out of control.
4 - PEACE - He awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the
wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
STORM - Disciples panicking…………… Jesus sleeping
Peace – be calm
Be still – be quiet… to stop the mouth, make speechless, reduce to silence.
