SERMON TITLE: WHO IS THIS?
SERMON THEME: WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID?
SERMON TEXT: MARK 4:35-41

INTRODUCTION:  SO WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A STORM IN LIFE, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO TO MAKE SURE YOU GET SAFELY TO SHORE?

THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU ARE IN A STORM.

I) YOU ARE IN THE STORM WITH HIS PROMISES
MARK 4:35-36, ISAIAH 43:2, MATTHEW 6:24, JOHN 16:33       
           

• JESUS NEVER PROMISES ANYTHING THAT HE CANNOT DELIVER.

• JESUS NEVER PROMISED THAT IF YOU COME TO HIM, LIFE WILL BE EASY AND STORM FREE.

• WHAT JESUS PROMISED IS THAT THE STORM WILL ROCK YOU

II) YOU ARE IN THE STORM WITH HIS PRESENCE
MARK 4:37-38, PSALM 46:1-2, HEBREWS 13:5b

• BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF JESUS THE STORM WILL NEVER SINK YOU.

• NEVER LET THE PRESENCE OF A STORM CAUSE YOU TO DOUBT THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

III) YOU ARE IN THE STORM FOR HIS PURPOSES
MARK 39-41, JAMES 1:2-4, PSALM 107:29-31  

• THE DISCIPLES WERE NOT IN THE STORM BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT OF GOD'S WILL.

• THE DISCIPLES WERE IN THE STORM BECAUSE THEY WERE IN GOD'S WILL.

CONCLUSION:  MY HOPE IS NOT IN THE BOAT; MY SOUL IS ANCHORED IN THE LORD. II TIMOTHY 1:7, I JOHN 4:18
