"Why are you so afraid?" with Jessica Chan

"Why are you so afraid?" with Jessica Chan Some storms will 'break over the boat' or 'nearly swamp' us, but like the disciples in Mark's gospel, the right question to ask is; "who is this?"  Who stands in the boat with us? For reflection & discussion: Read through the passage again, Mark 4:35-41.  What stands out to you?  What kinds of questions/observations do you have about the text?  This passage recognizes the authority Jesus holds.  [He holds the same authority as God/Yahweh]  What does it mean to give Jesus all the authority in your life?   what or who tends to make you feel secure (especially in a storm)?  what helps you to “be not afraid!”?   An idol is a good thing that we make into an ultimate thing.  It takes the place God alone should hold in our hearts/lives.  What good things are often made ultimate/treated as idols? If an idol has been given authority in our life, how do we give it back to Jesus?
