Week 9: Mark 4:35-41 - James Sharp

<p>Pastor James continues our sermon series in the Gospel of Mark, looking at Mark 4:35-41.<br/><br/>“At first there was the fear that this terrible storm and awesome terrain might claim your life. But then you found a refuge and gained the hope that you would be safe. But not everything in the feeling called fear vanished from your heart. Only the life-threatening part. There remained the trembling, the awe, the wonder, the feeling that you would never want to tangle with such a storm or be the adversary of such power…The fear of God is what is left of the storm when you have a safe place to watch right in the middle of it…Oh, the thrill of being here in the center of the awful power of God, yet protected by God himself!”  <b>- John Piper</b></p><p><br/></p><p><b>Communion Reflection Questions:</b></p><p>Am I more likely to lose sight of the terrifying holiness and righteousness of God? Or to lose sight of the boundless, endless mercy and grace of God?</p><p>Am I likely to rejoice in Jesus <em>without</em> trembling before him? Or to tremble before him <em>without</em> rejoicing in him?</p><p>Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who <b>treasure Christ, grow together</b>, and <b>live on mission</b>.
