Discussion Questions
Icebreaker: What is something from creation that you find inspiring or breathtaking? (ex: the Grand Canyon)
Discussion 1: Why do you think the disciples were so afraid in the midst of the storm, even though Jesus was with them? What does their reaction reveal about their understanding of Jesus at this point? How could Jesus sleep in the midst of such a fierce storm?
Application 1: Our lives are also filled with storms — situations that are too big for us to handle that fill us with fear. What does it look like to have faith in Jesus in the midst of these types of storms?
Discussion 2: After calming the storm, Jesus asked the disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” What kind of faith do you think Jesus was calling them to? Are you surprised that Jesus asked them the question?
Application 2: Do you sense Jesus calling you to a deeper faith, just as He called the disciples? Are there times when your faith is weak and you are afraid in the midst of storms?
Discussion 3: The disciples were amazed and asked, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” How does this moment deepen their understanding of who Jesus is? How do you think this event shaped their relationship with Him in the future?
Application 3: What comfort and faith can you also gain from reflecting on Jesus’s power and authority over nature?
