Δ Interact Okolona Christian Church ‘Tis the Season for Peace NOT Stress Mark Ledford December 22, 2024 View This Week’s Note View All Past Notes View This Note w/o Blanks ‘Tis the Season for Peace NOT Stress December 22, 2024 / Mark Ledford Mark 4:35-41 (NIV) That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” My Notes: Why were the disciples stressed and Jesus at peace? My Notes: Peace is less about and more about changing my and in my circumstances. My Notes: They gave the storm power than the Savior. My Notes: Stress is often the of giving the storm more power than our Savior. My Notes: Jesus Storm My Notes: caused them to forecast scenarios. My Notes: Stress is often the result of forecasting an future. My Notes: Philippians 4:8 (NLT) And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. My Notes: They thought didn’t care about them in that moment. My Notes: Stress is often a result of from God. My Notes: Luke 2:10-11 (NIV) But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. Luke 2:13-14 (NIV) Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” My Notes: Jesus is than the storm, he has a plan, and he is there with you.
