Speaker: Rich Hendricks Series: The Gospel According to Matthew Passage: Matthew 8:23–27

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me”. Matthew 28:18

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” Colossians 1:15-17

Ps 65:7 Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.

Ps 89:9 You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.

Psa 107:25 For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

Ps 107:29 He caused the storm to be still, So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
Isa 51:15 For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar the Lord Almighty is his name. NIV

“I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you” (Hebrews13:5).

38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

“If you have a God great enough and infinite enough and

powerful enough to be mad at because he doesn’t stop your

suffering, you also have a God who is great enough and infinite enough and powerful enough to have reasons to allow you to suffer that you can’t understand. You can’t have it both ways.” Tim Keller

These can be put in a list, I will throughout the message walkthrough these.
