6-23-24 “Afraid of God? It’s Crazy!” by Pastor Glen

In Mark 4 we witness Jesus in a boat sleeping during a furious, terrifying storm. The disciples were confused and finally woke Jesus out of their fear. Jesus spoke a word and the wind and waves calmed. And the disciples were suddenly terrified of Jesus. With what God spoke to Job in the Old Testament reading, it seems that there is actually an appropriate fear we should have of God. But this sounds crazy, doesn’t it? We’ll wrestle with this tension.As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.
