Mark 4:35-41 – Pentecost 5 (B)

Preaching The Text

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the story of Jesus falling asleep in the boat. Here we learn how the disciples exercise faith in Christ as the divine power who controls the sea – one of the most frightening images of chaos and death in scripture. Their attention to Jesus shows how faith grasps Christ and turns him against the power of sin and death.
