Peace In The Midst Of The Storm

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

God's Central Revelation Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 9, 2009

Those that have faith in God live right & do right. The proud do what is right in their own might. Pride & might did not make Israel right or justified & would not justify the Babylonians either. Faith in God justifies us.
