Why Are You So Afraid? | Follow Me 4 | Pastor Amy Indovino

When we go through storms in life where do we take our fear? Fear is a natural emotion that should cause us to go to God. But often we allow fear to disrupt the trust we have or don’t have in God. We can end up taking our fears to unhealthy places. The disciples that night were afraid of the storm but even more terrified when Jesus calmed the storm. Why was this so scary for them? Well, that night a different storm inside them needed to be confronted. It was the storm of their sinful hearts and only Jesus, who was fully man (asleep on the boat) and fully God (having divine control over nature) could defeat this ultimate storm of sin. As we remember his sacrifice we can be sure that God cares about us so much that He sent His Son so no one will perish.
