The Test of Faith

Mark 4:35-41 (NIV)

Throughout our lives we will all experience storms that will test our faith.
Storms come because we live in a __fallen__world.
Storms come because of our own__sin____.
Storms come because we have an evil _enemy_who wants to destroy us.
The storms of life reveal our own nature. Hebrews 11:1,6
We may be living with __false____assumptions.
We may be living with a lack of ___faith/trust______.
The storms of life reveal the nature of God.
In the midst of the storm, we can experience his _presence_
in the midst of the storm we can experience his _correction__
in the midst of the storm we can experience his _love__
What are some of the false assumptions you have struggled with in regards to the character and nature of God?

In what areas of your life are you tempted to respond with fear rather than faith?

What valuable lessons have you learned from past storms?

Take a few moments of silence and ask God why faith is so important and pleasing to him.
