One of the greatest joys of living the Bible is when we get to share the truth of God with others. See this sermon for an example of taking the truths of a gospel passage and applying those truths to real life. In this case, “From Chaos to Calm,” applying truths of Jesus calming the Sea of Galilee and then liberating a man dominated by evil.
Telling the truth about life…
We live in a chaotic world, a chaotic society, and we have chaos within us. God does not want us to be stuck in chaos, but to enjoy the calm of the peace of Christ. When Jesus commanded the winds and the waves to be still (Mark 4:35-41), and when he liberated a man dominated by evil (Mark 5:1-20), he showed us his power and authority by which he stands up to chaos. (A message given at Elmbrook Church, September 15 & 16, 2018.)
