Mar 1500:37:13Tap to summarizeLife often feels chaotic. Unexpected problems, uncertainty, and pressure can make it seem like everything is spinning out of control.In Mark 4:35–41, the disciples find themselves caught in a violent storm while crossing the sea with Jesus.

But this is not who Jesus is.In this new series through the Gospel of Mark, we discover a powerful truth: when everyone else steps back from the mess, Jesus steps toward it.
