you have a heart for me good news it's a bible today according to recent uh report satin pointing more than nine thousand i have you know vaccinated filipinas and um unfortunately pogba deaths are you

and we're looking forward nah again my normalized i don't know if baba guys are normal and um south african variant but come to think of it before number one before pandemic open them on the economy but uh some of us are still anxious some of us are experiencing problems so some of us are too busy in fact some of you it's a blessing that i caught on pandemia why because god taught us really what to focus on 2020 vision in fact we narrowed down on what's really important isn't it like i don't tell you 2020 vision because last year god somehow removed all the unnecessary stuffs last year really god gave us a clear picture of what's really important or and everything else you know we'll just follow you know indigenous all right could it be look up here this anxiety napa roller ride and all could it be now we're trying to put the wrong solution to the problem but we're putting too much hope and trust summa link system our solution could it be that we're trying to fix something that's spiritual in nature but we're fixing it with physical all right i believe that the cause of all our anxieties and doubts and fears is more than just a physical reality but a but a spiritual one as well yes physically well and stuff like that i believe it's physical but more so i believe also it's spiritual in nature remember we are spiritual human beings we have were created in the image and likeness of god so we're spiritual in nature and i believe we're trying to fix a spiritual problem with the physical solution because and then you're trying to put it back and god is saying because i want i want to give you something far better than just be physical every time you look at the treatment picture on punu jan you know the secret of a healthy tree you know a strong fruitful like a robust tree it's not on what is sin indeed the secret of a strong tree is on what's unseen underneath and sometimes okay we try to ignore what's happening on the inside and then only to find out it's just a matter of time so on the outside it seems so strong and robust on the inside it is a matter of time and that's and that's the the one thing i don't want to happen to all of us now seemingly we're trying to ignore the problem or seemingly we have this facade or front now everything is okay young youtube votes everything is okay but on the inside we're decaying it's just a matter of time our marriage will fall apart our children you know while they open up in a suicidal thought spelling all i do hope embrace is going to happen to you and today we're going to talk about that first things first we need to find out what's the root cause of all our anxiety problems stress worries fear doubts because only then we can really find the solution because as i've said no solution right so let's open our bible to mark chapter four verses 35 onwards do you have your bible bible verse so we're going to talk about the story this is a very familiar story jesus is calling the storm in fact many times for those of you watching you watch the movie and this happened and all but uh maybe the summer first timer detour of paris i don't know but nevertheless this is a serious break okay we're gonna start a brand new series next week so the the pastor can you know we have the liberty to choose what we want to preach a congregation because you series it's nationwide so we cannot choose a topic but series so that's why today uh ibrahimovic king manga pastors and i i opt to choose this topic i don't know let's just bow down our heads and pray lord we live up to you this story that happened two thousand years ago in fact this is your story how in jesus name we pray amen all right in verse 35 it says there that day okay when evening came jesus said to his disciples let's go over to the other side all right now being that day it was a very busy day in fact it started i think the mark chapter three um see jesus was accused the blasphemy among the pharisees the day it was a very busy day for jesus and then pagucia i don't know for every reason if you're one of the disciples jesus made even so but then again of course jesus young and then let's go let's cross over to the other side of the lake and this is well they call it the sea of galilee but it's a freshwater lake famous photon sea of galilee because this is where young demon possess the guy did young an acne peter the gyrus rather this is where peter walks on water didn't have breakfast after the resurrection in fact if you happen to visit um israel one of the famous stores and then on tourist guide we're going to treat you for a lunch we're going to eat the fish that jesus ate no no in the first time everyone's excited you know a foreigner oh we're going to eat the fish that jesus ate excited god here's a picture of uh topography of the sea of galilee nepali give them push mountains and hills and valleys now it's very important to the story because of galilee you must suddenly survive bullets in a sabbath suddenly a furious squall came you know if you look at the next verse suddenly a furious squad came so belong and he wanted jesus human disciple okay leaving the crowd behind they took him along and then sabirito a furious qual came it's so sudden papua see like a bee now i again i always say this but no god's got a bible put yourself into the story almost midnight and then out of the blue demating and the waves broke over the boat so that it was nearly swamped boat so i mean disciples and also my followers yeah and then all of them are experiencing the same thing now before we continue with the story let me tell you upfront indeed i'm a disciple so okay quiet actually this is just a test see jesus paul is gonna uh go this through these disciples through a test he's gonna uh allow these things to happen because of course he is god all knowing to test the disciples no this is just a test of course anyway so now a few squad came and then let me tell you something a storm can happen suddenly animals suddenly lisa buhay nathan a doctor's report suddenly angela out of the blue now you're in icu suddenly you found out depression and and problema and you feel like he's on his own nikarini involves a buhay and then the suicidal attempt suddenly you found out suddenly storms can happen suddenly and i can just imagine this everyone's scrambling so much chaos so much commotion's about and everyone was shouting everyone is scrambling everyone see them and then let's see jesus verse 3 8 and jesus was in the stern sleeping on a caution from behaviour look to light see jesus well we can see the humanity of jesus he was fully human and fully divine so see jesus jesus was sleeping on the stern on the caution in the middle of a storm how can you sleep in the midst of the storm report stage four cancer more i don't know how can you sleep in the midst of a storm i don't know but then there's this proverb that says proverbs 3 24 when you lie down you will not be afraid when you lie down your sleep will be sweet why verse 26 for the lord will be at your side wow about that the reason why according to proverbs we can sleep like a baby at night in the midst of a storm knowing because the presence of god is with you another verse i love this verse long now these verses that says about sleeping in the midst of a storm somebody thought in vain you rise up early okay and in vain you come home late working so hard for your food sounds like prepandemic you rise up early you come home late toiling for food to eat and then here's the thing about god yes god provides for those whom he loves even when they are sleeping how about that if you're a child of god while you're sleeping god is providing come on now i'm not saying no no no you're going to do your part you're going to work you're going to work hard but at the end of the day looks like i know this because it doesn't see grace will always remind me of this [Music] wow look up here while we are sleeping our father in heaven our god in heaven is providing any loving and responsible father will attest to this i'm a father myself how many okay now let's look let's go back to the story jesus was sleeping the disciples woke him up and said teacher look at the word teacher they know jesus as a teacher not lord not savior they called jesus they've been with jesus i don't know for like a year or two i don't know but definitely jesus and yet the disciples said teacher family teacher don't you care if we drown there's a ton of accusation have you ever prayed a prayer jesus lord have you ever prayed the prayer number of accusation and you're saying jesus have you ever felt that god is silent for the longest time and somehow we feel like lord in the concerns but sometimes we feel that god is not answering our prayers in this concern i'll tell you something just because god is silent doesn't mean he's absent isn't it indigo and it's silent it must be an absence yeah because he answers our prayers in the lagging yes sometimes it's no sometimes it's wait sometimes it's yes go i'll give it to you but the answers are prayers and problems we want a yes answer from god in fact when we pray fy islands lord check your prayers i don't know maybe it's just me but seriously they woke up jesus and i don't know maybe again again the imaginative they want jesus to help them they are not the solution that jesus had will do okay i'm getting that i don't know maybe it's just me in the imagination peter see jesus the other just help us too big so you have two things jesus i don't know maybe there they want jesus to help them but not the way that god we need jesus you know what jesus did disciples imagine for a moment jesus went to the side of the boat and then talks to the wind into the waves means a solution to jesus it's not according to our solution isn't it often times my solution to jesus negotiator and sometimes we have this set of solutions to our problems and see jesus fyi lung and we want jesus a blessing prayer nothing jesus did something weird can usually win that waves he knows three words and if you're peter and the rest of the disciples sleep walking but you know the story the wind died down and it was the word completely everybody said completely samanasah online completely calm completely means completely a responsible disciples they were all terrified wow how can you talk to the wind into the waves any command hello you know why hello because it's the very voice that created them remember in genesis 1. between oh my gosh is genesis 1 8 nightly and that same voice commanded them stop quiet in fact he doesn't have to open his mouth hello but he had to open his mouth for the signal disciple quiet be still and after rebuking the wind and the waves he turned his attention to the disciples and then it's time to review the disciples in the next verse because this verse will give us the truth about all our fears and worries and anxiety acting foundations and jesus said why are you so afraid two questions do you still have no faith jesus told the disciple i don't know they've been together for more than a year i don't know but but for for some reason and tagalog and you still have no faith look up here there's a picture here parashang when when fear is high okay your faith has no room that's what jesus is saying why are you so fearful do you still have no faith now on the other hand if faith is high fear has no room but let me tell you something they cannot coexist hindi we're dang now you're so in faith in god no i'm showing faith in you you're so infidelity either you're gonna make me your lord or not at all so it cannot coexist now let me ask you something we might not have been exposed to javid talking about the virus but what has covered the exposed in us explosive i don't know maybe anxiety and this anxiety is creeping in the future i don't know but somehow we're so anxious and let me tell you about anxiety anxiety exposes our idols every time there's an anxiety that's creeping in it just exposes us and then i don't know some it's power to some it's prominence possession or pedigree i don't know and all these things before pandemic we thought this power i don't know an opposition vice mayor governor uh congressman billionaire your prominent last name your possession your i don't know all these things these are man-made idols that's why the bible commanded us do not make for yourself an idol an idol is something we make in fact our hearts are idol factory i can make an idol out of this clicker i can make an idol out of my shoes my wife my children this swatch we always create idols and upon idols where you put your trust and hope that is not god indeed see lord and everything will be an idol so anything can turn into idol a money is good money is good but then kung you want money at all costs it can turn into idols so then let's let's let's continue the story they were all terrified and they asked this question three words who is this that even the wind and the waves obey him look up here i told you this is a test they all failed the test this is a test untitled and test okay because storms can be a test right they all failed the test panel f failed in the fasado hindi ferpat failed apparently they don't know who jesus is it is during storms of life you will discover what you really believe but couple may whether it's true or it's jafak storms have a way of revealing the truth about us and they all failed at this now let me ask you this question how well do you know your jesus because how many jesus you of little faith wire is afraid you still have no faith and then the disciple says who is this the display of power of jesus led them to thinking who is this now i don't know maybe some of you i believe jesus is a genie last night in my show i have a daily broad show every friday 8 00 p.m last night sikuyakimati and sangesko and he was saying before i met jesus the real jesus i thought jesus was a some sort of a genie best friend body body big bro big bro or best friend he became thinking of jesus or parangini give my wishes how well do you know your jesus i don't know predominantly we're a catholic nation so most likely if you go to a muslim nation here in asia most of the time when you ask you know jesus they don't know who jesus is peros because for 400 years we're under the spanish regime right some of you i don't know but it's one way to know someone it's another thing to really have a relationship with him i know president duterte i mean he's our president he's a former mayor of dabao i mean he loves motorcycles i know a lot of stuff about our president where you ask me do i have this number on my phone i don't know him personally now let me ask you do you know jesus yeah i know jesus do you have a relationship with him that's another jesus your relationship with him because you can be sincerely wrong be careful because your belief drives your behavior now i'll end the story hello aboard nakayo they all failed at this it was just a an exam a test of how well do you know jesus and all of them in the boat they all flunked the test sublime they were so terrified who is because what happened ever i don't know about you maybe just maybe you're here today you have the wrong perspective of who jesus is i don't know maybe in the beginning of jesus and then see this is going to see jesus i like the song kanina he is good and some of you may be you jesus jesus jesus became but maybe maybe look up here maybe just like the disciples we failed the test of who jesus really is now i have good news for you because jesus is not just a god of second chances he's a god of multiple chances weeks after months after i don't know but it happened same scenario listen up in matthew 14 there's a recorded story and this happened after newton's event and this happened when jesus this time sabine jesus same boat same people same lake are you getting the point in this everyday says you go ahead and jesus you know there's a mountain and pray to god and then disciples same thing happened there was a strong wind there was a storm i told you suddenly the marathon you stormed and saw galilee this time jesus i don't know [Applause] immediately he said peter we're going to pick up the story from there matthew 14 32 they climbed okay to the boat and when they climbed into the boat the wind died down imagine it was completely calm and if you're one of the disciples you're going to say oh yeah this time will they react the same way they reacted last time who is this will they be terrified this time reaction again this is a test they may have failed first time this time do they really know who jesus is we're going to look at the verse here's the reaction the disciples worshiped wow they were no longer terrified they no longer ask who is this they now proclaim who jesus really is the word truly is very important they say truly you are the son of god i just presented to you the key on how to live a storm proof life i just presented a verse to you on how to sleep like a baby in the midst of a storm i just presented to you on how to have faith even when it's dark and stormy i just presented to you the key to live a life free from worries and anxiety one word worship everybody say worship no longer who is this no longer who are you no longer terrified but now they bow down and worship and say truly you are the son of god the word worship simply means lordship lordship when you say lordship it's it's really without any hesitation without any question i'm going to worship you for who you are lord mattapo it doesn't matter as long as i have you i'm good sometimes we want that jesus who's a savior and rightly such a boy savior but did you know that jesus was referred to a savior 24 times a bible you know how many times he was referred as lord 600 times staggering isn't it jesus is a savior but let me tell you something he is also lord welcome lord kim last night i realized that i'm worshiping a god a jesus and a gustolam best friend but it's not just your best friend he is lord that's why lordship is very very important obedience so let me leave you with this question what is one thing that god is asking you to let go right now could it be that the reason why you're here today god is asking you enough elect gomian because i'm gonna assure you it's a form of worship young i don't know honey peanut butter give up saying the lord what is one thing right now that god is asking you just let go and i know it's hard of course asking you don't worry don't worry i'm not asking you to totally give it up i'm just asking you to have a decision today because in your weakness in your acknowledgement i'm gonna be there you know what the bible says in our weakness his grace is made perfect in our weaknesses god is just asking your commitment god is asking on your knees and say lord hindi kukayato have it your way do you feel weak in fighting a temptation or addiction [Music] i just want you to be part of this journey i'll be part of this journey my grace is sufficient for you it's made perfect in your weakness so let go and let god so let me go back to the analogy of a tree this is my prayer for all of us in psalm 1 verse 3 this is my prayer for all of you i'm gonna ask the music team to come up and and sing this song could just all stand i'm just gonna ask you to this time to worship him i'm going to ask you this time to to release humongous fears and worries nothing and we're just going to worship him for who he is sabbath is a psalm chapter 3 chapter 1 verse three you're gonna be like a tree planted by the streams of water and that's my picture for all of us now we're gonna be like that tree hindi but we're gonna be like these three planted by the streams of water we're gonna yield our fruit in season we're gonna be fruitful our lives will not wither and everything that we do will prosper that's my prayer for all of you that's my that's my hope for all of us that idols cannot save us for the longest time your fears and worry just let go and let god and hopefully we're gonna be like this tree planted by the streams of water we're going to yield we're going to grow we're going to flourish we're going to be prosperous amen we're going

really jesus is that he deserves nothing less but our full devotion in worship so let's set aside one even fears and war is now then because jesus rebuked his disciple the reason of why you're afraid is because you have no faith and maybe this time after hearing jesus's word after giving but a second chance among disciples maybe some of you here you need to repent because saying like a genie or an atm now we have to work hard for him we have to do good for his love but that's not the jesus of the bible as i pray today maybe some of you are facing impossibilities maybe some of you are full of worries and doubts and fears the key is worship worship him because truly you are the son of god [Music] approach you because we have a need because we want a self-serving solution to our problems [Music] are guilty [Music] [Music] you are our father and yet lord kelang submits not our will but yours be done in approach so today father we just declare your goodness and your faithfulness avoidant as we leave this place lord may we have a fresh perspective of who you really is lord god you are a loving father to us you're our lord and savior not just a savior but our lord [Music]
