Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Join Pastor Robert as he dives deep into Mark 4:35-41 in this sermon titled, “Jesus Calms the Storm.” In this message, we explore the profound lessons from the story of Jesus calming the storm, revealing His divine authority and the purpose of trials in our lives. This sermon challenges common misapplications of biblical stories like David and Goliath, Daniel in the lion’s den, and the fiery furnace, emphasizing that God’s purpose often unfolds through the storms, not just by stopping them.

Key Themes Explored:
1. God’s Purpose in Trials: Discover how God uses difficulties and even tragedies to accomplish His divine plan, as seen in John 16:33 and 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.

2. The Authority of Jesus: Witness the moment when Jesus, asleep during a violent storm, rises to rebuke the wind and waves with a simple “Peace, be still!”—demonstrating His sovereignty over creation (Mark 4:39 and Psalm 89:9).

3. Faith Over Fear: Learn why Jesus asked, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” and how we can trust His promises even when storms rage.

4. The Awe of Christ’s Power: See how the disciples’ fear of the storm turned to awe of Jesus, realizing “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!” (Mark 4:41).

This sermon is for anyone facing life’s storms—whether financial struggles, health challenges, or personal loss. Pastor Robert reminds us that while God may not always calm the storm immediately, His presence and purpose are unwavering. Learn how to find peace in the storm and grow in faith, trusting that Jesus is with you, whether He delivers you from the storm or carries you through it.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
