mk 4:35-41
furious squall
- violent, massive storm
waves are breaking in
- fear, thinking theyre gonna die
mark looks at jesus and disciples exp
- jesus = suffering servnt and disciples suffer along side
-- jesus facing greater and greatr opposition
mk1:25 - peace be still to demon-possessed man
- muzzled demon
-- means something to say same thing to wind
-- everyone and everything coming after them
we're still being attacked today
- guilt, temptation, other people, busyness, insecurities, desires, doubts,
why are we being attacked?
- to pull us from christ, keep us from bearing fruit, to belittle god's grace, pull our gaze from christ, keep us from participating in god's life and glory
jesus completely calm/relaxed, asleep
- not ignorant of storm; in spite of storm
-- still got wet
- why so calm? had faith
-- how do i keep my faith and stay focused?
--- finding quiet, be aware of battle and the attacks, identify the lie, live in the victory that christ has won
