The gospel was from Mark's account of the stilling of the storm on the lake, and Jesus' rebuke of both the wind and waves and his close friends, whose faith seemed to have deserted them.
I have been thinking about the nature of faith and how it affects our life's journey as part of this sabbatical of mine, and I started the seeds for this sermon whilst I was in Assisi!
In a nutshell, it was fear that led Jesus' friends to be unsure of who he was, even when they had already seen a good number of miracles and the like.
What are the fears along our life's way? And do we do any better than Jesus' close friends in keeping our eyes on him?
May I run the race before me,
strong in faith to face the foe.
Looking only unto Jesus,
As I onward go.
It was a great privilege to share this weekend with Tim and his family and friends.
