1. Jesus calms a storm on the Sea of Galilee that terrifies His disciples. While Jesus was sleeping in the boat, a fierce storm arose that threatened to swamp the boat. The disciples woke Jesus in a panic, crying out for help. Jesus rebuked the wind and waves, commanding them to be still. The storm ceased immediately, calming the sea.
2. Jesus then questions the disciples' lack of faith, asking why they were afraid when He was with them. The passage illustrates Jesus' power over nature and His ability to protect His followers, even in the midst of life's terrifying storms, if only they have faith in Him.
Kita yang dipercayakan oleh Tuhan berbagai berkat dalam hidup ini, tujuannya bukan semua berkat itu hanya untuk diri kita sendiri tetapi harus dibagikan juga kepada sesama yang membutuhkan.
Hidup yang baik sangat dibutuhkan di tengah dunia yang semakin jahat. Tidak ada cara lain yang bisa mengalahkan kejahatan, kecuali dengan cara hidup yang baik yang bisa kita lakukan untuk menerangi dunia ini.

Hidup di dalam Kristus bukan berarti kita bebas dari ujian, masalah dan penderitaan. Namun harus dipahami bahwa justru semua hal itu menjadi sarana Tuhan untuk memproses hidup kita.
ROMA 12:19 Saudara-saudaraku yang kekasih, janganlah kamu sendiri menuntut pembalasan, tetapi berilah tempat kepada murka Allah, sebab ada tertulis: Pembalasan itu adalah hak-Ku. Akulah yang akan menuntut pembalasan, firman Tuhan.

THE CAUSE AND CALM FOR THE STORM
Nah 1:3
Dan 7:1-3
I. THE SELF-INFLICTED STORM
JONAH
Jonah 1:4, 12, 15
This storm was Jonah’s fault, and he knew it.
The only thing for him to do was simply “take his medicine.”
II. THE SATANIC STORM
JESUS ASLEEP ON THE SEA OF GALILEE
Matt 8:24-27
The disciples had Jesus in the ship, yet the storm still threatened them.
I believe the cause of this storm was satanic oppression.
Notice what happens when they get to the other side.
Matt 8:28
When the storm is Satanic in origin the thing to do is, heed Christ warning:
Resist fear and exercise faith.
III. THE SAVIOR’S STORM
JESUS IS ABSENT IN THE STORM.
Mark 6:46-52
This time it appears the storm is Jesus’ fault.
When that thought comes to mind there is something to learn.
We don’t all learn the same lesson from the same storm.
Here most of the disciples had to learn the miracle worker who could multiply bread and fish would also enable them to accomplish what he told them to do.
But for Peter, a special lesson was to be learned.
Matt 14:27-29
Peter learned it is possible to get closer to Jesus in the storm; he just didn’t remember the lesson about resisting fear and exercising faith, after a few steps.
IV. THE SKEPTIC’S STORM
PAUL AND EUROCLYDON
Acts 27:10-11, 14, 21
This storm is to be blamed on the unbelievers.
“I told you so”.
Acts 27:24
Acts 27:44
The answer for this storm was for Paul to be an ambassador of hope.
CONCLUSION-
At some point, you will experience one or all four of these storms.
Ps 55:8, 16-17
What I may see for you as a storm on the sea of Galilee, you may feel is the Garden of Gethsemane.
But in either case, our God is the God of “everlasting consolation and good hope”, remember-
“his way [is] in the whirlwind and in the storm.”
He has promised he will perform his good work in you until the day of Jesus Christ.
Rev 7:1-3
Sometimes He calms the storm.
With a whispered peace be still
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will.
Sometimes He holds us close,
And lets the wind and waves go wild,
Sometimes He calms the storm,
And other times He calms His child
This is a study of Jesus being a sailor. He was often on the sea, and He was the captain of the ship. The church is often seen as the ship and Jesus is the captain. Much of sea life is symbolic of Jesus as the captain of the sea. He is also the lighthouse.
An Unlikely Duet: Isaiah and Bob DylanRoss Reddick
This is a presentation I put together for a chapel service at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. That week we were exploring Christian peace. On the last day, this presentation was where the sermon would normally go. It was a way to explore peace negatively. What does the *absence* of peace look like--well, sound like--in this case.
I paired selections of the Prophet Isaiah with the lyrics from Bob Dylan's famous song, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall." Isaiah and Bob could say it much better than I ever could. I let them speak.
The last slide was generated by tagxedo.com. The text used to generate the tag cloud came from senior answers to an ordination exam question (Presbyterian Church, U.S.A.) that dealt with Christian peace.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. On April 10, 1912, the Titanic, largest ship afloat, left
Southampton, England on her maiden voyage to New York
City. The White Star Line had spared no expense in assuring
her luxury. A legend even before she sailed, her passengers
were a mixture of the world's wealthiest basking in the
elegance of first class accommodations and immigrants
packed into steerage.
5. She was touted as the safest ship ever built, so safe that she carried
only 20 lifeboats - enough to provide accommodation for only half
her 2,200 passengers and crew. This discrepancy rested on the belief
that since the ship's construction made her "unsinkable," her
lifeboats were necessary only to rescue survivors of other sinking
ships. Additionally, lifeboats took up valuable deck space.
6. Four days into her journey, at 11:40 P.M. on the night of April 14,
she struck an iceberg. Her fireman compared the sound of the
impact to "the tearing of calico, nothing more." However, the
collision was fatal and the icy water soon poured through the ship.
7. It became obvious that many would not find safety in a lifeboat.
Each passenger was issued a life jacket but life expectancy would
be short when exposed to water four degrees below freezing. As
the forward portion of the ship sank deeper, passengers
scrambled to the stern.
8. John Thayer witnessed the sinking from a lifeboat. "We could
see groups of the almost fifteen hundred people still aboard,
clinging in clusters or bunches, like swarming bees; only to fall in
masses, pairs or singly, as the great after part of the ship, two
hundred and fifty feet of it, rose into the sky, till it reached a
sixty-five or seventy degree angle." The great ship slowly slid
beneath the waters two hours and forty minutes after the
collision
9. The next morning, the liner Carpathia rescued 705 survivors.
One thousand five hundred twenty-two passengers and crew
were lost. Subsequent inquiries attributed the high loss of life to
an insufficient number of lifeboats and inadequate training in
their use.
10.
11. One evening Jesus said to
His disciples, ‘Come with
me across the lake.’
8:22 Pada suatu hari Yesus
naik ke dalam perahu
bersama-sama dengan
murid-murid-Nya, dan Ia
berkata kepada mereka:
"Marilah kita bertolak ke
seberang danau." Lalu
bertolaklah mereka.
12. They set out in the boat that
Jesus was already sitting in.
Mereka duduk di perahu
bersama-sama dengan
YESUS
13. Jesus was in the back of
the boat. He was tired and
fell asleep with His head
on a pillow.
YESUS berada di belakang
perahu. Ia merasa lelah dan
tertidur dengan bantal di
kepala-Nya.
14. As can happen on Galilee
a fierce wind swept across
the water. The waves grew
large and started sweeping
over the sides of the boat.
Seperti yang dapat terjadi di danau Galilea,
angin yang kencang menyapu air. Gelombang
semakin besar dan mulai menyapu sisi perahu.
15. There were experienced
fishermen on board but
they became afraid the
boat would be swamped.
Para nelayan yang handal dan
berpengalaman itu mulai merasa
takut kalau-kalau perahu mereka
akan disapu ombak dan tenggelam.
16. The disciples went to
Jesus and woke Him.
‘Teacher, do you care
about us?’ they shouted.
‘We will drown!’
Maka murid-murid-Nya membangunkan Dia dan berkata
kepada-Nya: "Guru, Engkau tidak perduli kalau kita binasa?"
17. Jesus stood up in the
swaying boat and
addressed the storm.
Ia pun bangun, menghardik
angin itu dan berkata
kepada danau itu:
18. ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Jesus
ordered.
"Diam! Tenanglah!“ YESUS memerintahkan.
21. Jesus spoke to those in
the boat, ‘Why are you
afraid? Do you still have no
faith?’
Lalu Ia berkata kepada
mereka: "Mengapa kamu
begitu takut? Mengapa
kamu tidak percaya?"

2 FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
35. 3. HE HAD NEVER IGNORED EVEN

2 FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."

and rebuked the winds
