God in Our Storm

The God in Our Storms

God often comes in

• Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm.
• Job 40:6: Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm.
• Jer 23:19 See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.
• Nah 1:3: His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.
• Heb 12:18: You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm.
• Exodus 19
• Revelation 4

My favorites:

• The Storm
• The Savior: He comes to them walking on water!
• Peter! Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you. Peter walks on water with Jesus!
• The end. I like how story ends. Get in boat, wind dies, worship him: Truly you son God.

Now look how brief this is in John. What is the message?

John 6:15-20

• John 6:20, Ego Emi, I AM

I Love About This Account:

1. Jesus (John 6:18)

–A miracle in Mark 6:48, he was on a hill and saw them.

–Notes on waves:

• Waves Pound you. Dangerous.
• Waves are violent. Water weighs 60 pounds per square foot.
• Waves come in sets.

2. Jesus (John 6:17, 19)

3. Jesus (John 6:19)

They didn’t just need the storm calmed; they needed Him.

4. Jesus (John 6:19)

Job 19:10: “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.”

• He is Sure footed.
• He is Untossed.
• He is Confident.

5. Jesus . (John 6:20-21)

Why Is John’s Account So Short?

John wants to emphasize:

Exodus 3:7-14

The message communicated here is that the Great I Am still comes down to rescue His people.
