Description

"Peace! Be still!" Those words, spoken by Jesus in Mark 4:39, calmed a storm that threatened to drown his disciples. Today, storms still rage, and, in my own experience, yelling at them doesn't do much good. So, where do we find the power to calm the chaos that rages around us? We find it in the one who calmed the storm. Chaos to Calm: Finding Jesus in Your Storm is a short exegesis of Mark 4:35-41. It digs into the text and the surrounding material in Mark, as well as the larger context of Scripture, to answer the disciples' question, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" (Mark 4:31). Who indeed? And to whom do you turn when your storm rages? Scholarly at points, insightful at others, and somehow always fun, From Chaos to Calm is a quick read that plumbs the depths of one of the most foundational stories in the Gospels. You will come away with a more complete picture of who Jesus is and, perhaps, something to hold onto amid your storm.
