The first story we read in our text this morning is a very familiar one but that doesn’t imply that we have exhausted the well of truth to be drawn from it. There is much yet to be learned here and today we will touch on some of that truth and will come away with a new understanding of Christ’s victory over the danger of trial and storms. From there we will move into Mark chapter 5 and see there Christ’s victory over the demonic forces oppressing the Gaderene Demoniac. Overall, what we’ll see both this week and next is that God’s servant Jesus Christ is the Master of every situation and the conqueror of every enemy- and if we trust Him and obey His orders, we will never need to be afraid.
