When Jesus calmed the storm in Matthew 8:23–27, he didn’t just demonstrate his divine authority—he raised questions that still challenge us today. This sermon reflects on Jesus’ question to his disciples, “Why are you afraid, you of little faith?”, not as a rebuke, but as encouragement. Jesus, a “lake guy,” found rest and trust on the water—and even in a storm, he trusted his friends at the helm. With insight into boating, lakeside living, and deep faith, the message invites us to consider how we weather life’s storms, how we help others through fear, and how a mustard seed of faith may be all we need. The story of Horatio Spafford and the hymn “It Is Well With My Soul” underscores that faith doesn’t prevent storms, but offers us peace—even when boats go down.
Faith doesn’t erase fear, but reminds us that God is always in the boat.
