Pastor Steve Ruetschle Mark 4:35-41 Today, in preaching on Mark 4:35-41, Pastor Steve offered five lessons from this passage in Mark. Lesson 1) Storms come even if Jesus is in your boat. Pastor Steve noted that Jesus led the disciples to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee in the evening. He led them into the night storm. Why would he do this? Please discuss and read Joshua 1:9 and Zephaniah 3:17 out loud together. What are your thoughts about these verses? Lesson 2) Storms can make us feel that God doesn’t care.

How did you respond? What was the outcome of this situation? Please discuss and read Psalm 46:1-3 and 6-7 out loud together. What are your thoughts about these verses? Lesson 3). When facing a storm, call out to Jesus! Matthew 8:26 quotes the disciples as saying “Lord, save us!." Read Psalm 4:1
