Jesus & the Storm, Radical Experiment Update (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/28)

Hurricane Irene has been the most talked about thing in the news recently. I don't minimize the serious of a hurricane and the need to be prepared but it seemed like many people were fearing the wrong thing. In Mark 4, a storm came upon the disciples while they and Jesus were on a boat. These experienced fishermen were fearful of this storm. They awoke Jesus who was sleeping in the boat. Jesus calmly spoke to the storm and it ceased! These same men who feared the storm, now feared Jesus! Let us not fear hurricanes and earthquakes but fear the One who controls them. Let us never forget that God is in control!
