मरकुस 4:38

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season. Based on the book Unwrapping the Names of Jesus: An Advent Devotional , this 5-day devotional reading plan will guide you to receive Jesus’ rest this Christmas by taking moments to remember His goodness, express your neediness, seek His stillness, and trust His faithfulness.

When a crisis happens in our world, it’s easy to question our faith, and it’s hard to replace the panic we face with the peace we’re promised as Jesus-followers. In this 5-day Bible Plan accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s series, Not Afraid, we’ll discover three things we can do as Christians in the face of a crisis.

Geloof vrywaar ons nie teen storms nie. Dit is egter moontlik om ten spyte van sterk storms 'n stormsterk geloof te hê. Uit die verhaal van die storm op die see waarvan ons in Markus 4:35-41 lees, leer ons waardevolle lesse oor hoe ons sterk in die geloof kan wees. Word in jou innerlike mens in jou geloof versterk sodat jy die storm kan beveel om stil te word.

Die eerste ding wat Jesus met die dissipels gedoen het was om hulle te roep (Matteus 4:19). Jesus kom vandag nog om mense te roep. Baie dink dit het net met bekering te doen. Nee — wanneer Jesus kom, roep Hy mense om Hom te volg en vissers van mense te maak. Die twee begrippe kan nie van mekaar geskei word nie.
