1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Let us pray, and he saith unto them. Why are

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: ye fearful, O, ye of little faith? Then he arose

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: a great calm. Matthew six twenty six. Peace be still.

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: In the same way that Jesus spoke these words over

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: the waves in the storm, I too speak these words

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: over the storms in my life. Peace be still. When

8
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: others come to me to bring up the magnitude of

9
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: the storm I may be facing, I will, in all boldness,

10
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: remind them of the magnitude of my God. For there

11
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: is nothing that I can't conquer, because Jesus, who lives

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: inside of me, has already conquered this world and every

13
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: trouble in it. No matter the demonic attack around me,

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: I will not be moved when I am standing face

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: to face with Satan and his traps. Because of Jesus

16
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: and his sacrifice, I now possess more power than the

17
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: darkest of enemies. Thank you Jesus. Thank you that I

18
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 1: am set free, and that I also have the power

19
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: to point people to You and your absolute freedom. In

20
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Jesus name, Amen, Thank you for praying with me to day.

21
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: Continue listening for an incredible Bible story brought to you

22
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: by Bible in a Year dot com.

23
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: The Storm Within. In our last story, Jesus told parables

24
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: on the Kingdom of Heaven. He told earthly stories with

25
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: heavenly implications. His disciples were greatly impacted by the seemingly

26
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: backwards Kingdom of God. Now we see Jesus showing his

27
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 2: might and power. The same voice that spoke the universe

28
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: into existence, will calm storms and defeat over a thousand demons.

29
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: With just a word.

30
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: Inspired by the Gospels.

31
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome to the Bible in a Year podcast,

32
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: I'm Jack Graham. In our last episode, we heard Jesus

33
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: teaching about the things of Heaven, God's mercy, and the

34
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: incorruptible value of the Kingdom of God. The disciples marveled

35
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: at their master's words of wisdom and insight, desiring more

36
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: for understanding of the things of God. Today we'll see

37
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: as Jesus, once more, with only his words, rebukes the

38
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: seas and waves, bringing calm and safety into a place

39
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 3: of fear and despair. We'll see the same power over

40
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: the waves demonstrated against the evil spirits that held a

41
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: man captive. As Jesus calls out demons, who shudder at

42
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: the sound of his voice. So let's listen now to

43
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: the reading of God's word.

44
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: Dark clouds rolled in from the middle of the Sea

45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: of Galilee. Jesus looked upon the waters towards the other side.

46
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: The mountains could be vaguely seen. About five miles across

47
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: the sea. There were dark and ominous. There were rumors

48
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: of a violent demoniac dwelling in the caves on the

49
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: other side. Let us go to the other side, Jesus

50
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: said confidently. So the twelve disciples and Jesus boarded Peter's

51
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: fishing boat. The skies grew darker as the clouds became thick.

52
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: The gentle breeze of the sea became more and more violent. Peter, James,

53
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: and John knew what was coming. They were fishermen and

54
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: knew all the signs of a tempest. Jesus, being weary

55
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: from a day of serving and preaching, went below to sleep.

56
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: The winds tore against the sails. There was a sharp

57
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: whistle coming from the north and south of the sea.

58
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: The two winds collided against one another in the middle

59
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: of the waters. It was as if the disciples were

60
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: caught in the middle of a cosmic war. The waves

61
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: thrashed and the rain began to drum against the boat.

62
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: James and Andrew leaned both their bodies against the rudder

63
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 2: to keep it in place. As Peter and John tied

64
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: in the sails. The others desperately emptied the boat of water,

65
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: but to no avail. The ship would sink in minutes

66
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: if the wind and rain did not cease. Jesus was

67
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: still sleeping soundly at the bottom of the boat. Simon

68
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: looked down at Jesus, astonished that someone so powerful could

69
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 2: sleep through such a nightmare. Master, he yelled. The boat

70
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: was jolted by a wave, and Simon was sent tumbling

71
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: into the side of the boat. He crawled to the

72
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: small space where Jesus was sleeping and shook him awake. Master,

73
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: do you not care that we are perishing? Jesus looked,

74
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: stood up, and walked towards the front of the boat.

75
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: The wind howled like a mighty titan. The disciples were

76
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: tap lost all around the boat from the waves, but

77
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: Jesus's feet were sturdy. As he marched, the wind whipped

78
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: at his back and the rain fell down like gravel.

79
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: Jesus looked at the storm like an adversary. The waves

80
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: were relentless and smashed against the bough to rock Jesus overboard.

81
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: God's hero stood firm. He stretched out his hand and said, hush, now,

82
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: be still. He spoke to the wind and waves like

83
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: disobedient children, like a lion. Finally tamed the wind and

84
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: waves subsided and calmed. The sun peered in through the

85
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: dark clouds, and the sea became still as glass. The

86
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: scattered rays of light fell on Jesus's face. He closed

87
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: his eyes and breathed in deeply. Jesus turned back to

88
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: his disciples and said, where is your faith? The disciples

89
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: could not answer him. They were dumbfounded by what they

90
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: had just witnessed. They had seen Jesus heal the sick

91
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: and turn water and wine, but they just saw him

92
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: command the untamable wind and unbeatable waves. With a word,

93
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: he made the rain cease. They thought they knew who

94
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: Jesus was, but they had not even begun to scratch

95
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: the surface. Peter released the sails and James took hold

96
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 2: of the rudder. They sailed gracefully to the country of Girasines,

97
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: which is opposite of Galilee. The boat came closer, and

98
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: the men could hear a deep, painful cry echo from

99
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: the mountains above the shore. Its sound was blood curdling,

100
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: the sound of screaming mixed with broken chains rattling against stone.

101
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: They pushed the boat onto shore, and Jesus stepped off

102
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: to see a man running towards him. He was naked

103
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: and screaming. Blood dripped down his mangled chest, and broken

104
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: chains were still attached to his wrists and feet. He

105
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 2: was like a rabid beast seeking prey, and the disciples

106
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: began to run back to the boat, but Jesus stepped forward.

107
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 2: As the beastly man leaped towards Jesus, he fell short,

108
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: with his face to the rocky sand. He yelled with

109
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: intense pain. Sand and blood covered his naked body. His

110
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: pupils were wide with rage and sadness. Tears fell down

111
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: the man's face, and he scowled at Jesus, Why do

112
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: you come to me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God.

113
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: His voice was deep and piercing, but behind the voice

114
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: was a man in great pain. He was possessed by

115
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: a demon, so it was no longer him who spoke.

116
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: He had a storm raging within him. What is your name,

117
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: Jesus asked, calmly, I am Legion. The demon replied for

118
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: I am Many. The demon's attempt to intimidate Jesus failed.

119
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: Jesus stepped forward, and the demon retreated backwards in fear.

120
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: Do not cast me out into the nothingness, Legion begged.

121
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: Jesus nodded and gestured to a herd of pigs grazing

122
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: on the side of the mountain. The man's body jolted backwards,

123
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: and all of the sudden, painful cries could be heard

124
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: from the pigs above the mountain. They ran in circles,

125
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: eventually tossing themselves off the side of the mountain into

126
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: the sea. When the pig herders saw this, they ran

127
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: back into the city and gathered people to come and see.

128
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: Jesus knelt down to the man's still body. He was

129
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: breathing but unconscious. Jesus gestured for one of the disciples

130
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: to bring water, and the man was restored to consciousness.

131
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: They clothed him and fed him. When the pig herders

132
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: came back with members from the city, they saw the

133
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: man at Jesus's feet, speaking his right mind Jesus smiled

134
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: and waved towards the group. They approached him with pitchforks

135
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: and swords. Please, they said politely, we see you have

136
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: done a kind thing, but do not come back here.

137
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: We want no more dealings with demons. They did not

138
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: understand who Jesus was. All they knew was that he

139
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: had authority over demons. The unknown frightened them. The healed

140
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: man begged Jesus to take him in. He wanted to

141
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: join Jesus and follow him. Jesus smiled and gave the

142
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: man a big hug. No, Jesus said warmly, you must

143
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: stay here and tell everyone what has happened. Your testimony

144
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 2: will change lives. As Jesus said these things, he waved

145
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: the group and took off back to Galilee. The disciples

146
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: were silent as they looked at Jesus. He stared at

147
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: the horizon, and the sun began its descent beyond the waters.

148
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: Jesus had calmed a great and mighty storm before their

149
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: very eyes. However, he was also able to calm the

150
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: storm within. They marveled and thanked God that he had

151
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: finally sent their promised hero.

152
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: We begin today on the Sea of Galilee in a

153
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: fishing boat where Jesus and his men have set sail

154
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: for another shore. On the other side of this lake

155
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: lie an opportunity for the Lord's power to be demonstrated

156
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: in yet another astounding, amazing way. The disciples didn't know it,

157
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: but Jesus knew exactly what he would do. Of course,

158
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: they wouldn't have to wait for the next shore to

159
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: see their master's power. Galilee was known for sudden squalls

160
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: that would rise suddenly out of nowhere, and they could

161
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: be deadly to unsuspecting fishermen caught in a storm. Not

162
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 3: long after Jesus went to the back of the boat

163
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: to rest, one of those storms arose. The clouds darkened

164
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: the skies, and the wind whipped the boat to and

165
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: fro like a rag doll. The disciples, many of them

166
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: seasoned sailors, were terrified. They'd seen these storms before and

167
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: how vicious they could be now they were caught in

168
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: the middle of a raging sea, and they panicked. It is,

169
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: in fact a picture of the storms of life. The

170
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: realities of life. Disaster and danger often come unannount seemingly

171
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, and no matter how seasoned we are,

172
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: as followers of Jesus. Even then, fear can grip us

173
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: and leave us paralyzed in those moments, just as it

174
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: did the disciples. Jesus was sleepy. How could this be true,

175
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 3: they wondered. They woke him and asked if he didn't

176
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: care that they were about to die. Mark four point

177
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: thirty nine gives us his response, and what happened next.

178
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to

179
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: the sea, peace be still. And the wind ceased, and

180
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: there was a great calm. It is often easy for

181
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: us to ask the same question the disciples ask, Lord,

182
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: do you care? Do you care what's happening to me?

183
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: Do you care what's happening around me? And our Lord

184
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: still has the same power to speak into the storms

185
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: of our lives, saying peace be still. In fact, we

186
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 3: are promised in God's word, a peace that passes all understanding,

187
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: an inexplainable, inexplicable peace that comes only from God. For

188
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 3: the Disciples, this peace meant that the waves and the winds,

189
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 3: the storm actually stopped and they were delivered. This, of course,

190
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: is not always the case in our lives. Sometimes the

191
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: storms we face can continue to rage, but God's voice

192
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: his loving peace be still can calm the storms within

193
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: us us and give us confidence that He is with

194
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: us and that he cares with the seas under control.

195
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: Jesus turned to his men and asked, why are you afraid?

196
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: Do you still not trust me? The disciples marveled at Jesus.

197
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: They were beginning to see that there was no limit

198
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: to his power. It excited and terrified them at the

199
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: same time. They continued to sail to the other side,

200
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 3: to a place called Garacnes. This was enemy territory both

201
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: literally and spiritually. It was Gentile land, but it was

202
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: also a place where a man lived among the tombs

203
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: like an animal. He was filled with demons who tortured

204
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: him daily and made his life a living hell. This man,

205
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: truly was a tragic and terrible sight. The depth of

206
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: his demonization separated him from God. This was all caused

207
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 3: somehow by his sin. He was far from God, far

208
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: from other men, cut off, he was not in his

209
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: right mind. He was completely alone and tortured by the enemy.

210
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: But when he saw Jesus, the demons within him cowered

211
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: in fear. Though many people could not recognize Jesus for

212
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: who he was and is, Satan's army had no such confusion.

213
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: The demons spoke to Jesus, asking why he had come.

214
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: Even in their fallen state, these fallen angels demons could

215
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: not help but call Jesus who he really was and

216
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: is the son of the most High God. Jesus responded

217
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: and asked the demon's name, to which he responded Legion,

218
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 3: to indicate there were many evil spirits in this man. Jesus,

219
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: once again, with just his words, called the demons out

220
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: of the man, sending them into a herd of pigs

221
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: that immediately hurled themselves off a cliff. This man was

222
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: freed from his torture, but the pig herders weren't too

223
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: thrill at what they had lost. They begged Jesus to

224
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: leave because they did not know who he truly was.

225
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 3: The man now delivered, clothed in his right mind, to

226
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: go with Jesus, but Jesus told him to stay and

227
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: tell others what the Lord had done for him, And

228
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: so the message of God's power to heal the most

229
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: demonized and wicked heart spread throughout the Gentile region as well.

230
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 3: Today's reading shows us, as it showed the disciples then,

231
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: that Jesus has power to calm the storms of life,

232
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: be they storms around us or storms within us. And

233
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: as we are transformed by His word, that we are

234
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: called to share the good news of Jesus, of what

235
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: he has done for us. Less always be ready to

236
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: tell people just how good our God is and what

237
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: he can do for all who will put their faith

238
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: and trust in him. Thank you for listening to today's
