Join us for our continuing study through the Gospel of Mark as we examine Mark 4:35-41. In this message, titled “Mark 4:35-41 – The Calm After The Storm,” we unpack the story of Jesus and His disciples crossing the Sea of Galilee, encountering a sudden and terrifying storm. This study offers a deep dive into the biblical text, revealing profound truths about faith, fear, and the true identity of Jesus Christ.

Discover how Jesus, who was fully God and fully man, demonstrated His authority over creation itself with just a word.

Our study will look at the disciples’ panic and their reaction to Jesus, whom they called “Teacher.” We’ll see how their accusation—”Don’t you care that we’re going to die?”—reveals an unbelieving belief, a partial trust in Jesus. This raises a question for us all: Why are we afraid? The answer, as this passage shows, is often rooted in a doubt about whether God truly cares for us. We’ll explore the parallels between this story and the account of Jonah, another man on a boat in a storm, and what these comparisons reveal about Jesus as the “God-Man”

Our study of Mark 4:35-41 provides insight into the disciples’ journey of faith and their struggle to comprehend who Jesus was. We’ll look at their initial panic, their surprising accusation against Jesus, and their ultimate awe-filled question: “Who then is this?” This video is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Bible study, theology, or the life of Jesus.
