Mark 4-5: Chaos Meets Christ

Speaker: Michael Swearingen

Main Text: Mark 4-5

Description: In this sermon covering Mark chapters 4 and 5, we see Jesus call His followers into the mission of spreading the Gospel—fully aware that life along the way will be messy and challenging. Through parables about sowing seeds, a powerful storm on the sea, encounters with darkness, sickness, and even death, Jesus reveals His complete authority over every part of life.

From calming the storm to healing the sick and raising the dead, this message shows that nothing we face is outside of Jesus’ control. As we follow Him into His mission, we’re reminded that He doesn’t just send us out—He goes with us as Lord over every storm, every struggle, and every fear.

This teaching from the Gospel of Mark encourages believers to trust Jesus in the middle of life’s chaos and to live boldly in the mission He’s given us.
