In the Storm - John 6:15-21

“In the Storm” John 6:15-21 1. Keep obeying when the wind turns against you. Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. Matthew 14:22 (CSB) 2. Trust Jesus when you cannot see him. After he said good-bye to them, he went away to the mountain to pray. Well into the night, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land. He saw them straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Very early in the morning he came toward them walking on the sea and wanted to pass by them. Mark 6:46–48 (CSB) Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25 (CSB) 3. Don’t let fear cause you to miss Jesus in the storm. Seeing them straining at the oars—for the wind was against them—at about the fourth watch of the night, He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out; Mark 6:48–49 (NASB 2020) Immediately Jesus spoke to them. “Have courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:27 (CSB) 4. See Jesus as greater than your storm. God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.” Exodus 3:14 (CSB) He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. Job 9:8 (CSB)
