Published: February 28, 2026 · Episode type: Classic Sermon
Episode Summary
There are moments when life feels like the disciples’ boat—water coming in, wind getting louder, and your prayers bouncing around inside your own head. In this classic sermon, Bob Hughes takes you straight to that storm scene and to the honest question that rises up when fear gets a vote: “Carest thou not that we perish?”
This is the kind of message that doesn’t just stir you for a few minutes—it steadies you. It reminds you that the Savior may be silent, but He is never absent. And when He speaks, the storm still listens.
Key Scripture
- Mark 4:35–41 (KJV) — “Carest thou not that we perish?”
What You’ll Hear in This Message
- A real storm — not imagined trouble, but the kind that makes seasoned men panic.
- An honest prayer — fear spilling out in a question that sounds almost like an accusation.
- A steady Savior — Christ’s presence, power, and purpose even when you feel overlooked.
