Rescued by Truth: Week 33

Pastor Dodge shares an archeological discovery uncovered from the 1980's that dates back to the early first century. This discovery draws our attention to the Bible's account of "Jesus Calms the Storm" found in Mark 4:35-41 and speaks to truth #18: "The Lord is near, even in the storm." The 1st Century fishing boat uncovered on the shores of Galilee in 1986 helps us understand the boat in which Jesus fell asleep during a storm (Mark 4:35-41). This story points to this Truth: The Lord is near, even in the storm. The disciples, seeing the wind and raging waves fall still at Jesus' command, were terrified and asked themselves, "Who is this?" The rest of Scripture gives the answer: He is God, and we can turn to Him when the inevitable storms of life overwhelm us.
