Lost & Found: Where is Jesus…On Board!

Sermon Text:  Mark 4:35-41
Sermon Title: Lost & Found: Where is Jesus…On Board!
Context Text: Jesus and his disciples are on their way to the other side of the lake. Jesus has just taught them a series of parables on the kingdom of God. Once he finished it's as if he is ready to put the lessons to the test. But the test results would come as they go to the other side of the lake.
Point 1:  It was Jesus idea to go into the storm!   vs. 35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”
The text even says in Matt. 8: 24 Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lace… Point 2:  Jesus is on board.  vs. 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?”
Well the text confirms the trouble…vs. 37 a furious squall came up and the waves broke over the boast, so it was nearly swamped. Matt 8: 24…the waves swept over the boat…Luke 8: 23 said they were in great danger… Point 3:  Jesus requires attention vs. 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?”
Point 4:  Jesus demands we have faith   vs. 40  He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

Conclusion: If you are having a tough time believe Jesus is going to help you.
