Jesus: God of Power & Glory 2

Big Idea: Jesus is the all-powerful God. You can trust Him!

The waves were crashing. The wind was howling. The rain was pouring. The disciples were panicking. But the Lord was sleeping. He had perfect peace in the midst of the storm. The disciples could have had that same peace. They could have been resting in the presence of their Savior, but they panicked. They tried to take matters into their own hands—bailing faster, rowing harder—but nothing worked until they turned to Jesus. As soon as they looked to the only one who could offer help, He did just that. “Peace, be still,” Jesus commanded and creation obeyed. The waves were suddenly still. The wind was silent. The rain was gone. The panicking disciples were in awe of their Maker, who had displayed His mighty power. The disciples were taught an important lesson through the storm. Jesus is always in control and He is to be trusted.
