The Compassion Of Christ

Contributed by Marianne Unger on Jun 23, 2004

There is no sin that is too big for God’s forgiveness.

The story of the Geresene Demoniac. This story gives me chills. There is so much meaning beyond the words written on the page. There are so many questions to be asked. Jesus enters a town that is obviously not filled with Jews. The first question to be asked is, Are they Gentiles or Heathens. We ...read more

How To Keep Objectively Focused In Emotional Situations

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

How To Keep Objective in Emotional Situations (Luke 8:22-25)

Jesus knew how to calm the storm in human emotions. Example: One day Jesus said to his disciples, ...read more

Contributed by David Wilson on Oct 18, 2000

Those storms in our lives don’t always come from our sin-- in fact, following Christ will lead us directly into the eye of the storm.

1. ALL PROBLEMS IN LIFE ARE NOT RELATED TO SIN! The Jews believed strongly that if something bad happened to someone, they had done some sort of sin. If a person was stricken with an illness it reflected on some sort of sin. If he suffered financial loss, it was sin-related.. If his children grew ...read more

Arise And Walk With Jesus

Contributed by David Jenkins on Apr 14, 2005

Arise and walk with Jesus

Swales are known to overcome boats in the oceans. We think about swales why would a swale be important for our lives?

One Of Those Days

Contributed by Roger Nelmes on Jan 29, 2008

Some storms we can track and be somewhat prepared for, others come suddenly and without warning. We normally don’t think about them until they hit or effect us.

Peace In The Midst Of The Storm

Contributed by David Mende on Jul 8, 2009

I preached this sermon exactly 26 days after my Mom went to be with the Lord. Read this powerful sermon and experience the peace that Jesus gives even in the midst of a storm! I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

Introduction: Prior to this passage, we see that Jesus taught few parables to His disciples about the Kingdom of God. Probably for the sake of privacy and relaxation, Jesus proposed a trip across the lake of Galilee. And in this passage, Mark, the Evangelist gives a graphic account of the stilling ...read more

Asleep At The Wheel

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jun 7, 2009

Jesus slept while a storm brewed. The disciples were so afraid that they let their fear overpower their faith - something we still fall prey to.

LUKE 8:22-25 ‘One day, Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He told them, ‘Let’s cross the lake.’ They started out, and while they were sailing across, Jesus went to sleep. Suddenly a violent windstorm struck the lake, and the boat started taking on water and began to sink. They were in ...read more

"Truly Believe"

Contributed by Brad Henry on Dec 9, 2011

We get in trouble when we try to figure God out. This is a serome of being in "Awe" of who God is and trusting His greatness.

Have you ever felt like you were adrift in the ocean with no clue on how to get to shore? A lot of times in life we get a curveball when we are expecting a fastball. We get frustrated when we try to figure God out. Without knowing it a lot of times we even try to play God. When you take matters ...read more
