Faith Is Trust In A Person
- Faith is trust, not abstract belief, and it looks like literally leaning your weight on Jesus.
- Mark writes to show we can trust Jesus with everything rather than trust in money, success, or people.
God Often Gives Retests
- God sometimes gives retests so we learn from previous failures and grow in trust.
- The disciples face a repeated storm to reveal what they actually learned from the past.
Storms Expose Who We Trust
- Sometimes storms exist not because of sin but so we stop trusting our own strength.
- Storms can force us to turn to God because we can't row through them alone.
