where's your faith?
Jesus is a not religion
Jesus is not ritualism
He is a person,
He is son of God
And He is here to help you
He loves you,
He wants to touch you
He wants to carry your burden in His back
So let's open our heart,
let's expect something happening in our lives
Jesus Christ has a power over heaven and earth
He can perform miracles even nowadays
Your problem can be solved through Jesus Christ
Jesus is ready to give you the life and a life more than abundantly
On certain one beautiful day,
Jesus Christ standing on the seashore of Galili together with his disciples
The sky was blue, sun was shining
And they had a beautiful breeze
Then Jesus said to his disciples
Let's cross over the side of the lake
Then Peter and the disciples went and rented a boat
They all jumped into the boat
And they were rowing the boat to the other side of the lake
And they were very happy
So they were talking about their lives between themselves
And they neglected Jesus Christ
Nobody talked to Jesus Christ
They were only conversing among themselves
Jesus was alone, He was lonely
Since nobody was talking to Him, he just laid do주 and slept
Then suddenly, the black cloud began to swirl(move) in the sky.
Great storm came in and shake the sea of Galili
Rivers began to rise up and fall down
The boat was lifted up and fall down
The boat was rolling from side to side
Water was filling the boat
Wind was blowing the boat
Disciples take to balance the boat
Now they could not pilot the boat any longer
They were in great danger
Soon, they will gonna be a shipwreck/ soon we will drown
Then they find that Jesus Christ was together with them in the boat
But Jesus Christ was sleeping
brothers and sisters
Many people are doing the same thing in this life
They are busy making home
They are busy making success in their business
They are busy making political position in this world
There are many people spending time only for their pleasure
They have no time for Jesus Christ
They don't come to church on Sunday
They don't pray
They don't read the scripture
They live Jesus Christ out of their lives
And they put Jesus Christ into sleep
Then the wind blows
Then the storms attacks
Then they feel the danger of drowning
How is your situation in life?
Are you having trouble?
Are you in danger of sinking?
Who can deliver us from this predicament
Sin is destroying human life
Unholiness is destroying human life
Sickness and disease is destroying human life
People are suffering
People are starving
Death is destroying the life of people
Who can calm down this storm
Science could not calm down this storm
Political system could not calm down this storm
Culture could not calm down the storm
So 2000 years ago
God sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ
And He came to this stormy world
He came here to calm down the storm for you
Yes, we must wake up Jesus
When the boat the disciples were in was rolling and rising
Then they were in jeopardy
They remembered that Jesus Christ was together in the boat
They came to Jesus
They woke up Jesus
Jesus, Jesus we are perishing
Jesus, Jesus we are going to die, help us
We must also wake up Jesus
We should say Jesus wake up
Jesus come to our home
Jesus come to our business
Jesus come to our nation
Jesus wake up, we are perishing
Waves are coming over us
We couldn't manage our boat
We could not manege our homes
We don't know how to manage our business
We don't know how to manage our country
We are in trouble
we are sinking
We are going to shipwreck
Jesus wake up
when you pray to Jesus
Then He is going to wake up
He is going to rebuke the sea
When disciples of Jesus Christ wake up Jesus
He rose up, he looked at the wind
He looked at the storm
and he rebuked the wind
and he rebuked the waves
Finally the sea calm down
And they could not fear the storm anymore
Then Jesus Christ looked at his disciples
Where is your faith
Jesus never rebuked that they have no faith
But they mis-located their faith
Instead of believing the word of Jesus
They believed the storm
They believed in the waves
They believed in the weather
They forgot the word of Jesus Christ
"Jesus let's cross over the other side of the lake
That is the word of Jesus
That is the word of the creator
Jesus spoke
They will go on the other side of the lake
Even though there is storm or no storm
They will go across the lake and the other side of the land
Because Jesus spoke so
The heaven and earth shall pass away
The word of God shall never pass away
They should have put their faith in the word of Jesus Christ
They should not put their faith on their feeling
But the disciples forgot the word of Jesus Christ
Even nowadays, God has given the word.
You can find the word through the book of Genesis and Revelation
You can receive the word of Jesus Christ there
When you put your faith in the word of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is going to come and prove the world
Do never put your faith in your feelings
Feeling is deceiving
But the word of God never deceive you
So find your life on the word of Jesus Christ
Then you will have faith
Bible says "according to your faith will it be done"
Bible says "allthings are possible to him who believes."
So you already have faith
But do not mis-locate your faith
Put your faith on the Lord Jesus Christ
When you have faith on the word of Jesus Christ
When you persist in your faith
God is respecting that faith
Tonight Jesus asked you a question
Where is your faith?
