Divine Interruptions

Jesus Calms the Storm


Mark 4

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

An objective - “Let us go over to the other side.”



A change of plan - A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.


An assumption - “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”


The truth - Jesus was asleep because He was completely worn out 


The real problem- ……..”you still have no faith?”


Our fears exist because we lack faith.

Fear becomes a divine interruption when we fully surrender control to God.
