Nebraska lies in what is referred to as tornado alley. So, we’re prepared for severe weather events. We have emergency signal systems that warn of the approaching danger. But will they alert people in time? Will the warning be heeded? You build a storm shelter. But will it withstand the force of 165 mph winds? You have homeowners insurance to replace that hail damaged roof, but will the policy pay out as promised? The theme woven throughout Luke's gospel is that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. But can he? Can we trust him to come through when it really matters? As we continue on in our salvation story we’ll read the first of three episodes that demonstrate Jesus’ power to save. With experienced fishermen struggling for their lives at sea, Jesus exhibits his power over nature. He is stronger than our own natural abilities.
