The Shoes of Peace

Story Time: Sleeping in the Storm

Jesus asleep in the squall; divine peace giving believers supernatural traction.

Theme Verse (Mark 4:39–41): “And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Peace! Be still!' And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, 'Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?' And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, 'Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?'”
