Our Lord´s Long Day Of Preaching

The crowd was so great he taught from a boat

Topics of His teaching

The parable of the sower
The candle under a bushel
The coming harvest
The mustard seed

Jesus With His Disciples At The End Of The Day

Closing the day with an adventure
A time the disciples would never forget

The Promise at Evening

read  Mark 4:35

Let us pass over to the other side

What a great promise!

It speaks of a journey with Jesus
It speaks of His fellowship on the other side
It speaks safe passage for the journey

The Christian life is this journey

We may be weary when He calls us
We decide to travel with Him
He goes with us the entire journey
We are guaranteed safe passage to heaven

Be sure you are traveling with Jesus

The Peril brought by the Storm

read  Mark 4:37

There arose a great storm of wind

The waves started coming into the ship

How devastating the upheavals of nature!

It has not always been so: Eden´s tranquility
There is a better day ahead read  Isaiah 35:1-10

Lessons for the disciples in the storm

They were obeying, yet the storm came
They were traveling with Jesus, yet the storm came
They were in the center of His will, yet the storm came

Storms come to us all

The Purpose of the Storm

read  Mark 4:38-41

Jesus knew the storm would come

He was equipped to send the storm away

He chose to go through the storm with His disciples

The storm enabled them to measure their faith

The learned that Christ is with us in storms
They learned that He is up to any occasion

Different storms for different purposes

Jonah´s storm was to bring him back to the Lord
Paul´s storm was to provide witnessing opportunities
This storm was to build the disciples´ faith

Don´t judge the purpose of another´s storm

Conclusion

Jesus And His Peace, Be Still

What Manner Of Man Is This?

He is one who invites us to travel with Him
He is one who goes with us through our storms
He is one who is always up to the occasion

³⁷ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
³⁸ And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
⁴⁰ And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

Isaiah 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
² It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
³ Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
⁴ Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.
⁵ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
⁶ Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
⁷ And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
⁸ And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
⁹ No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
¹⁰ And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
