Discussion & dialogue

Others went out on the sea in ships … a tempest … lifted high the waves. They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depth; in their peril their courage melted away. They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits ’ end (Ps. 107:23,25-27).

Presentation Transcript

  1. Others went out on the sea in ships … a tempest … lifted high the waves. They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depth; in their peril their courage melted away. They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits’ end (Ps. 107:23,25-27) 37 - A scary short outreach (1)

  2. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper … They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven (Ps. 107:28-30) The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. “Where is you faith?” he asked his disciples (Luke 8:24,25) 37 - A scary short outreach (2)

  3. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him” (Luke 8:25) I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings,becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrectionfrom the dead (Phil. 3:10,11) 37 - A scary short outreach (3)
