Summary

I've heard whole Bible studies through the passage where Jesus calms the storm where the teacher fails to identify a key point in it. When Jesus commanded the storm to cease it revealed something of the divinity of Jesus that had the apostles in awe and reverence for Jesus in a whole new way. Even though they had previously seen Jesus cast out demons and heal the sick, this act of commanding a storm to stop meant something to these first century Jews which is often overlooked by people today. This is part 15 in the Mark series covering theology and apologetics through a verse by verse study of the Gospel of Mark.

0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking
0:05.8	biblically about everything. Tonight we're going to talk about a frequently abused
0:12.3	passage. I think this passage is actually really regularly abused and we don't want to overly allegorize it because that's the abuse that I often see with this passage of Jesus calming the waters right there in the
0:23.8	boat there's a storm Jesus peace be still so this is the problem here is that
0:29.6	people miss the main point of the passage and it's not about Jesus getting you through the
0:33.8	storms of your life. I'm sorry. I'm not saying that's not a point. I'm saying that's
0:37.9	not the main point. And so I want to give due to the main point of the
0:42.1	passage. It's not about the storms of my life actually, it's about who Jesus is.

1:23.4	Leaving the crowd they took him along with them in the boat just as he was and other boats were with
