Hope for the Hopeless (7 of 28)
Series: The Gospel of Mark: The True Story of the Son of God
Josh Malone
Mark 4:35-5:43
Have you ever felt hopeless? Desperate? Alone? Neglected? Powerless?- Maybe you've been through something and you wonder why in the world you had to go through that. Why didn't God prevent that. Maybe you've been in a situation and you didn't feel there was anyway out. Maybe you are there this morning ... a marriage on the rocks, financial disaster, crisis of health... Quite simply there are things we go through in life that we simply don't have the answer for. There is nothing in our resources from which to pull from... we've done all we know to do... and we don't know what else to do. - In these situations we have a choice... live by faith or fear... to be changed by Christ or to run from Christ.
YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST- THE BIBLE IS FULL OF DESPERATE PEOPLE, HOPELESS, PEOPLE. IN FACT THE BIBLE IS PRETTY CLEAR WE ARE ALL HOPELESS APART FROM JESUS. BUT BESIDES OUR SPIRITUAL CONDITION WE ALL FACE SITUATIONS THAT SEEM HOPELESS... IN THE MIST OF THESE STORMS, SITUATIONS, AND CONDITIONS... JESUS WANTS US TO TRUST HIM, TO HAVE FAITH IN HIM.

Imagine the scene... waves crashing, boat is rocking... water is filling it. The disciples are simply trying to keep the boat afloat. Jesus is sleeping in a soft place. - The disciples though... they are are freaking out. This must have been some storm... the fishermen would have been use to storms on the sea, for them to think they are about to die- it had to be bad.?
The question- ''Do you not care that we are perishing?''
To the disciples this situation is hopeless. They believe they are go ...
