Where Is Your Faith?

Luke 8:22-39

Pastor George Stephens | June 1, 2025

“He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?”” (Luke 8:25, ESV) 

Where We Commonly Put Our Faith 

“and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm.” (Luke 8:23–24, ESV)  

~ Our Experience 

~ Our Expectations 

Where We Should Put our Faith 

“… And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?”” (Luke 8:24–25, ESV)  

~ In God’s Plan 

~ In God’s Presence 

~ In God’s Pre-eminence 

Questions: 

Looking back on a difficult time, how was God’s plan different from your expectation?  

How did that experience of God’s plan in that hard time inform future situations? 

What do you expect from God, given your understanding of His character and plan?
