The Story In The Storm

In the spiritual realm, storm chasers are rare. We don’t go looking for a storm!  Rather, most of us are like the author of Psalm Fifty-Five who, while looking for an exit ramp from the storms of life wrote, “Oh that I had wings like a dove!  For then would I fly away and be at rest.” The compelling storm narrative recorded in the Gospel of Mark, Chapter Four, communicates Jesus’s dominion over not just the demonic, disease and dysfunction in the human body, but over the disastrous forces of nature.  In other words, when Jesus is on board with us, every storm we face in life has an expiration date.  This sermon is a powerful reminder that there is a “story in the storm.”
