Faith dispels fear (continued)
Mark 4:37-41
Fear and faith are incompatible (Mark 4:40).
Fear assumes God does not care (Mark 4:38).
“Teacher, do you not care …”
Fear assumes God can’t (or won’t) help me.
Sometimes we don’t feel worthy of God’s help.
We may project our own shortcomings on God.
Fear assumes God cannot be at work in the storm like He is in the calm.
God is with us in the storm.

The parables of Jesus
Jesus often usen parables. There are about forty-one parables total in the gospels, but Mark records five.
A parable places one thing next to another with a view to comparison.
Why teach in parables?
Mark 4:11 – So Jesus could teach His disciples in private.
What are they about?
Generally, to teach what the kingdom “at hand” is like.
How should we interpret them?
