Jesus and the Stormy Sea53 words
Now today, it is kind of cold out here. It’s lightly stormy. It was raining earlier, but they got out on that sea and it started really storming, so much so, the Bible said basically the boat was filling up with water. These are seasoned fishermen, and they’re figuring they’re going to die.
