Verse 1
Master the tempest is raging
The billows are tossing high
The sky is o’ershadowed with blackness
No shelter or help is nigh
Carest Thou not that we perish
How canst Thou lie asleep
When each moment so madly is threat’ning
A grave in the angry deep
Chorus
The winds and the waves shall obey My will
Peace be still
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be
No water can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies
They all shall sweetly obey My will
Peace be still peace be still
They all shall sweetly obey My will
Peace peace be still
Verse 3
Master the terror is over
The elements sweetly rest
Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirrored
And heaven’s within my breast
Linger O blessed Redeemer
Leave me alone no more
And with joy I shall make the blest harbor
And rest on the blissful shore
Chorus
The winds and the waves shall obey My will
Peace be still
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be
No water can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies
They all shall sweetly obey My will
Peace be still peace be still
They all shall sweetly obey My will
Peace peace be still

Passage (Slides) Mitch
After Jesus shared the parable of the sower and the seed, as well as other stories, and, after he had explained the parable to his disciples and a few others, Jesus said to the smaller group, “Let’s go across to the other side.’
It was evening by the time they got into the boats and left the crowd behind.
In the darkness of night, as they were far from the shore, a great windstorm arose, the waves were beating into the boat, and the boat was filling up with water.
During this storm, Jesus was resting in the back of the boat asleep on a cushion. His terrified followers who were in the boat, and experiencing the wind and the waves, woke Jesus up and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
Jesus, after he woke up, spoke sternly to the wind saying, “Be silent. Be still.” The wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.
Jesus said to his companions, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
Jesus’ followers were shocked and surprised by the entire experience, they said to one another, “Who is this man that even the wind and the sea obey him?” They were all amazed.
Mark 4:35-40

[Slide] Infectious Generosity – Image
Said from a secular perspective while echoing a holy reality –
“Generosity is at the heart of being human. It’s how we’ve co-operative, innovated, and grown as a civilization. It’s what makes me into we, net-takers into net-givers, selfishness into selflessness.”
[Slide] Breath of God
[Slide] Life of Actions – not just words (evangelical movement)
[Slide] Every person needs to experience the love/embrace of God
[Slide] The church must step up to the task of welcoming all peoples the
way Jesus welcomed us, a welcome without judgment and
condemnation.

Hide me now
Under Your wings

Benediction (Slides) Rick
In the chaos of life do not forget that you have an ever present God.
In the moments where God seems to sleep, look for the heart beat of your deliverer
In the moments when you are overwhelmed, reach deep into the soil that is your faith
When the wind pelts your face and the waves threaten to sink you, look for the peace of the savior
When the shouting is all consuming, look for moments of stillness, calm, and silence
When you are afraid may you not be fearful
When you are fearful may you not be hopeless
Remember your rescue
Remember your deliverance
Remember your faith moments
Remember your choices of joy
Go into a world knowing that you do not go alone
Closing Peace (Slides) Rick
[Slide] Leader: May the peace of the Lord go with you.
[Slide] Response: And also with you.
[Slide] Leader: Go in the peace of the Lord.
