Authority Calms the Storms in Life

Have you ever been in a really bad storm at sea?

Matt 8: 23 -25 NLT Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. 24 Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” 23 A storm is not expected: may panic, see things worse than they are Q. Does it feel like Jesus is sleeping – a storm shows us we need him. Jesus slept: “When you know your authority you can sleep”

Matt 8: 26 -27 NLT Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. 27 The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man? ” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!” 26 Jesus shows the importance of strong personal faith He wants you to have strong personal authority Rebuked the wind and waves (individually)…great calm /peace… Break down the problem… Wind: push you over ‘beat you’ Waves: pull you under ‘drown you’
