We explore the sermon titled "Questions Jesus Asked", offering insightful answers that forge a deeper connection with our faith, even amid challenging times.

At the heart of the sermon, we meticulously examine the story in Mark Chapter 4, where Jesus calms the storm, paralleling the disciples' fear-consumed reactions with our personal doubts and fears. This stirring dissection depicts how, like the disciples, we often overlook the divine intervention standing by our side during life's adversities. The sermon further delves into the disciples' journey with Jesus, illustrating how their learning curves mirror our faith journey.
