1. nature
2. demons
3. disease
4. death
BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD.
AND YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT.

PARALLELS WITH JONAH:

THIS IS ALL ABOUT RECOGNIZING WHO JESUS IS... WHO GOD IS.
With that in mind, Jesus' response to the disciples makes much more sense.

THE STORM IS TERRIFYING AND BEYOND THEIR CONTROL.
THE DISCIPLES ARE TERRIFIED,
BUT JESUS IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL.

LIKE JONAH SAID...
YAHWEH IS THE ONE WHO MADE THE LAND AND SEA.
THE DISCIPLES SHOULD BE GETTING THIS...
THE DISCIPLES SHOULD BE GETTING THIS...
They've heard John teach about Jesus.
They've heard the response of demons.
They've seen healings.
They've seen and heard Jesus claim to forgive sin!
They've heard Jesus teach of his kingdom.
HE IS THE KING OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: JESUS IS GOD.
So where is their faith?

HE IS THE KING OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: JESUS IS GOD.
So where is their faith?
Just like the crew of Jonah's boat, the expectation would be to respond in faith and worship YAHWEH.
But the disciples seem to still be doubting and missing it.

Reflection:
WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN GOD DO?
IN YOUR LIFE? OTHERS'? SCRIPTURE?
HOW ARE YOU RESPONDING TO HIM?

COMMUNION: REMEMBERING WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR US ON THE CROSS, AND EXPERIENCING HIS PRESENCE TODAY.
COMMUNION
We would like to invite anyone who has professed faith in Jesus to participate in receiving communion with us this morning.
Communion elements will be passed out by our ushers towards the close of service.
The bread represents the body of Christ.
The juice/cup represents the blood of Christ.

Are you ready to be baptized? In the Bible, when people come to faith in Christ, and they ask "what do I do now?" the answer is consistently baptism. In baptism, we identify with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection as we lay down our lives in the water, and come to new life in Christ. If you believe Jesus is Lord and are ready to make that declaration in your life, sign up and we would love to baptize you.
