In this sermon, Pastor Tony delves into Matthew 8:23–27, where Jesus calms the storm. Join us as we explore, our need for rescue, our help, and our response.

Why does Jesus actively discourage would-be followers? Two encounters give Jesus the opportunity to bring clarity. Following him is costly. Join us as we consider the humility, the rejection, and the paradox of following Jesus. He is at once both the suffering servant of Isaiah and the Son of Man of Daniel 7. What will you do with the challenge he lays before you?

What if Jesus doesn’t heal me? As Matthew continues to narrate Jesus’ healing ministry we see him again heal by touch and by word, yet Matthew peels back the curtain and sets it in the context of Jesus’ larger mission. As he does so we find that Jesus everywhere transcends what we expect, so that even when he does not deliver us from this light and momentary affliction, he nevertheless prepares for us an eternal weight of glory!
