| 0:00.0 | The When we're overwhelmed by life's circumstances, it's easy to question if God really |
| 0:29.3 | cares about us or if he has abandoned us. Today on Truth for Life we'll find out why God not only |
| 0:35.6 | allows trials in our lives, sometimes he leads us right into them. Alistairbegg is |
| 0:41.7 | teaching from the closing verses in chapter 4 of Mark's Gospel. |
| 0:47.0 | That day when evening came, he said to his disciples let us go over to the other side. |
| 0:57.0 | Leaving the crowd behind they took him along just as he was in the boat. |
| 1:04.3 | There were also other boats with him. |
| 1:06.9 | 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. |

| 2:05.2 | section of Mark's gospel it's also elsewhere in this synoptics |
| 2:09.8 | is simply this Jesus calmed the storm on the lake and he can calm the storm in your life. |
| 2:17.0 | And if that is actually all that this passage is teaching, then probably we ought to say that |
| 2:21.6 | to ourselves a couple of times have a song |
| 2:23.9 | benediction and leave Jesus calm the storm on the lake and he can calm the |
