Don't You Care? | Rev. David Pileggi

Christ Church Jerusalem

The story of Jesus silencing the storm not only tells us something essential about Jesus but also about his disciples - both ancient and modern. Like the disciples in the boat, our faith can be overcome by fear and can fail us during times of upheaval and uncertainty. At such times we can become offended by what we consider to be God’s lack of concern for us, just like those disciples being swamped by the waves. "Don’t You care? A failure to deal with those fears will keep us from becoming partners with God, being obedient and taking the risks to perform the mission that God has for each one of us. Readings: Job 38:1-18; Psalm 107:1-32; 2 Corinthians 5:14-21; Mark 4:35-5:20
