Jesus Calms the Sea
Mark’s depiction of the disciples crossing a sea and an out of nowhere a storm is a perfect illustration for our lives today. Have you ever experienced an event you never saw coming? Maybe you didn’t know how to manage it, and it inevitably revealed what was inside of you? Jesus is always in the boat with you. What did you do with the Jesus in the boat with you? Ignore him, or rely on him?
Acts 12:5-7, Mark 4, 5
Discussion topics
- In this week’s sermon was there something that you heard for the first time? Was there part of the story that stood out to you or spoke to you personally?
- Would you be willing to share a time in your life that a metaphorical storm came out of nowhere and hit you hard and “rocked your boat”? How did you respond? What part of your character was revealed to be less than a godly response? Were you about to find Jesus in a new way through your experience?
- Compare the response of Peter in Mark 5 to the Peter we see in Acts 12. What can we learn from these two stories?
- As a group, please take a few minutes and pray for the Fall Festival that is coming up at the end of the month. We not only want a dry and safe event, but we want the spirit of evangelism to saturate the Main Street of Collinsville so hundreds of people can be exposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
