Sermon Notes

Who Are We Really Dealing With Here?

Psalm 65: 1-8

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.

    Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion,
        and to you shall vows be performed.
    O you who hear prayer,
        to you shall all flesh come.
    When iniquities prevail against me,
        you atone for our transgressions.
    Blessed is the one you choose and bring near,
        to dwell in your courts!
    We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house,
        the holiness of your temple!

    By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
        O God of our salvation,
    the hope of all the ends of the earth
        and of the farthest seas;
    the one who by his strength established the mountains,
        being girded with might;
    who stills the roaring of the seas,
        the roaring of their waves,
        the tumult of the peoples,
    so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
    You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

 

Mark 4:35–41

On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
