Revealed by His GloryOvercoming Fear with Faith: Part 1 | Message 17 (WIP)
This message is the first part in a study of why, we as believers, are so fearful about problems in life and how we can gain in faith and live in peace even in the worst of times.
In Mark chapter 4, Jesus calmed the sea, saving all those with Him and all the other ships also. Afterward Jesus asked the question, “Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” The response was not that of gratitude or relief. Surprisingly we read in the next verse; “And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Jesus question was no doubt a rhetorical one that was intended to get those, that He had just saved, to question themselves and realize how foolish their response was. The question applies just as much to us today and maybe even more because we know from Hebrews 11:6 that faith is essential for us to please God.

Video Slideshow
This video presentation is similar to a screen saver that automatically advances with celestial images of the heavens from the Hubble, NASA, STScI and James Webb sites. They all have an accompanying scripture, or portions which can help illustrate Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork”.
This series on the Glory of God was originally introduced with only ten Hubble slides shown on a large screen while fifteen verses were being read. It lasted about ten minutes. When completed there will be around 400 images in the Video Slideshow with related scriptures.
