Facing Life's Storms with Faith by Pastor Seth Stone

Are we prepared to serve Jesus?

Matthew 8:18-27 (KJV)

'The Cost of Discipleship'

And when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, "Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest."

And Jesus saith unto him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."

And another of his disciples said unto him, "Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father."

But Jesus said unto him, "Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."

'Wind and Wave Obey Jesus'

And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Lord, save us: we perish."

And he saith unto them, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

But the men marvelled, saying, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!"

Let's reflect on what this passage means for us today. Are we truly prepared to follow Jesus wherever He leads us, trusting Him even in the midst of life's storms?
