Why Are You So Afraid?

In this sermon, Ken Kessler reflects on the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4. He emphasizes how life can unexpectedly hit us with storms—both literal and metaphorical—that shake us to our core. Drawing from personal experiences with storms like hurricanes, he likens these moments to sudden life challenges, such as illness or loss. The disciples' fear during the storm, despite Jesus' presence, mirrors our own struggles when we forget God's promises. The pastor encourages listeners to trust in God's plan and presence, even when circumstances feel overwhelming, reminding them that Jesus has already assured the outcome, just as He did with the disciples.
