00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.479
They<00:03:12.719><c> shall</c><00:03:13.159><c> see</c><00:03:13.680><c> the</c><00:03:13.960><c> works</c><00:03:14.199><c> of</c><00:03:14.400><c> the</c><00:03:14.580><c> Lord,</c>

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.460
Yesterday<00:03:21.840><c> we</c><00:03:22.139><c> concentrated</c><00:03:22.879><c> on</c><00:03:23.719><c> the</c><00:03:23.979><c> second</c><00:03:24.240><c> storm</c><00:03:24.560><c> on</c><00:03:24.879><c> Galilee</c><00:03:25.259><c> with</c>

the<00:03:25.639><c> disciples</c><00:03:26.139><c> and</c><00:03:26.500><c> Jesus.</c>

00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.460
Surely<00:03:28.840><c> we</c><00:03:29.039><c> can</c><00:03:29.319><c> see</c><00:03:29.699><c> in</c><00:03:30.099><c> those</c><00:03:30.300><c> events,</c><00:03:31.080><c> brothers</c><00:03:31.180><c> and</c><00:03:31.439><c> sisters,</c>

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.400
The<00:03:41.840><c> second</c><00:03:42.139><c> storm</c><00:03:42.960><c> illustrates</c><00:03:43.919><c> the</c><00:03:44.180><c> condition</c><00:03:44.560><c> of</c><00:03:44.759><c> the</c><00:03:44.979><c> disciples</c>

00:03:51.259 --> 00:03:55.039
He<00:03:51.639><c> was</c><00:03:52.159><c> physically</c><00:03:52.659><c> present,</c><00:03:53.400><c> as</c><00:03:53.740><c> with</c><00:03:53.860><c> the</c><00:03:54.060><c> ministry,</c>

00:03:55.219 --> 00:03:57.659
during<00:03:55.419><c> the</c><00:03:55.659><c> first</c><00:03:55.939><c> storm,</c><00:03:56.379><c> in</c><00:03:56.659><c> the</c><00:03:56.819><c> boat</c><00:03:56.960><c> with</c><00:03:57.199><c> them,</c>

although<00:03:57.939><c> asleep.</c>

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:04.060
However,<00:04:00.439><c> in</c><00:04:00.520><c> the</c><00:04:00.819><c> second</c><00:04:01.120><c> storm</c><00:04:01.599><c> we</c><00:04:02.500><c> note</c><00:04:02.680><c> his</c><00:04:02.919><c> absence.</c>

00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.819
But<00:04:04.599><c> though</c><00:04:04.819><c> he</c><00:04:04.979><c> was</c><00:04:05.240><c> on</c><00:04:05.539><c> the</c><00:04:05.800><c> heights</c><00:04:06.199><c> above</c><00:04:06.539><c> Galilee</c><00:04:07.300><c> during</c>

00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:14.379
he<00:04:10.580><c> could</c><00:04:10.939><c> see</c><00:04:11.259><c> them</c><00:04:12.000><c> tormented</c><00:04:12.900><c> and</c><00:04:13.460><c> toiling.</c>

00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:17.519
They<00:04:15.219><c> should</c><00:04:15.439><c> have</c><00:04:15.639><c> crossed</c><00:04:15.939><c> the</c><00:04:16.220><c> sea</c><00:04:16.519><c> in</c><00:04:16.839><c> short</c><00:04:16.980><c> of</c><00:04:17.160><c> an</c><00:04:17.339><c> hour</c>

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:18.100
or<00:04:17.800><c> so,</c>

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.779
but<00:04:18.379><c> they</c><00:04:18.560><c> had</c><00:04:18.839><c> spent</c><00:04:19.019><c> the</c><00:04:19.300><c> whole</c><00:04:19.660><c> night</c><00:04:20.100><c> against</c><00:04:20.620><c> contrary</c><00:04:21.279><c> winds</c>

00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:24.519

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.300

00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:34.120
once<00:04:31.139><c> he</c><00:04:31.360><c> was</c><00:04:31.540><c> with</c><00:04:31.800><c> them,</c><00:04:32.060><c> they</c><00:04:32.360><c> came</c><00:04:32.819><c> immediately</c><00:04:33.639><c> to</c><00:04:33.939><c> the</c>

The<00:04:36.279><c> words</c><00:04:36.519><c> almost</c><00:04:36.899><c> seem</c><00:04:37.060><c> to</c><00:04:37.360><c> indicate</c><00:04:37.600><c> a</c><00:04:37.860><c> miracle</c><00:04:38.319><c> in</c><00:04:38.579><c> itself.</c>

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.920
We<00:04:40.839><c> noted</c><00:04:41.079><c> yesterday</c><00:04:41.560><c> that</c><00:04:41.759><c> they</c><00:04:41.920><c> were</c><00:04:42.120><c> heading</c><00:04:42.420><c> on</c><00:04:42.600><c> that</c>

By<00:04:59.439><c> the</c><00:04:59.779><c> presence</c><00:05:00.100><c> of</c><00:05:00.360><c> their</c><00:05:00.540><c> Lord</c><00:05:00.860><c> and</c><00:05:01.019><c> His</c><00:05:01.300><c> return,</c>

00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:10.800
We<00:05:07.819><c> noted</c><00:05:08.040><c> also</c><00:05:08.480><c> yesterday</c><00:05:08.980><c> that</c><00:05:09.160><c> the</c><00:05:09.480><c> second</c><00:05:09.720><c> storm</c><00:05:10.079><c> is</c><00:05:10.379><c> included</c>

00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:19.279
Therefore,<00:05:16.839><c> we</c><00:05:17.040><c> are</c><00:05:17.420><c> to</c><00:05:17.579><c> see</c><00:05:17.759><c> the</c><00:05:18.040><c> storm</c><00:05:18.439><c> as</c><00:05:18.860><c> being</c><00:05:19.079><c> an</c>

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.180
We<00:05:21.100><c> are</c><00:05:21.319><c> to</c><00:05:21.540><c> see</c><00:05:21.759><c> in</c><00:05:22.000><c> the</c><00:05:22.300><c> storm</c><00:05:22.680><c> principles</c><00:05:23.300><c> of</c><00:05:23.660><c> redemption.</c>

John<00:05:25.100><c> says</c><00:05:25.459><c> so.</c>

00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:30.600
Of<00:05:26.680><c> all</c><00:05:27.019><c> the</c><00:05:27.220><c> eight</c><00:05:27.500><c> signs,</c><00:05:28.259><c> he</c><00:05:28.560><c> says</c><00:05:28.879><c> at</c><00:05:29.100><c> the</c><00:05:29.240><c> end</c><00:05:29.379><c> of</c><00:05:29.519><c> his</c><00:05:29.720><c> Gospel,</c>

these<00:05:31.379><c> signs</c><00:05:31.959><c> were</c><00:05:32.319><c> given</c><00:05:32.560><c> that</c><00:05:32.800><c> you</c><00:05:33.240><c> might</c><00:05:33.600><c> believe</c><00:05:34.199><c> that</c><00:05:34.939><c> Jesus</c><00:05:35.399><c> is</c>

the<00:05:36.000><c> Christ,</c>

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.899

00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:46.060
Then<00:05:41.939><c> we</c><00:05:42.279><c> have</c><00:05:42.839><c> a</c><00:05:43.519><c> divine</c><00:05:44.139><c> stamp</c><00:05:44.639><c> of</c><00:05:44.920><c> interpretation</c><00:05:45.620><c> upon</c>

The<00:05:50.120><c> storm</c><00:05:50.519><c> was</c><00:05:50.839><c> meant</c><00:05:51.100><c> to</c><00:05:51.480><c> prove</c><00:05:51.699><c> Christ</c><00:05:52.160><c> as</c><00:05:52.379><c> Messiah.</c>

00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:58.879

00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:53.920
But<00:18:50.599><c> straightway</c><00:18:51.279><c> Jesus</c><00:18:51.819><c> spake</c><00:18:52.299><c> unto</c><00:18:52.599><c> them,</c><00:18:53.099><c> saying,</c>

And<00:18:58.119><c> Peter</c><00:18:58.319><c> answered</c><00:18:58.680><c> him</c><00:18:58.880><c> and</c><00:18:59.119><c> saith,</c>

00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:06.880

00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:23.700
But<00:19:20.680><c> when</c><00:19:20.900><c> he</c><00:19:21.180><c> saw</c><00:19:21.480><c> the</c><00:19:21.819><c> wind</c><00:19:22.279><c> boisterous,</c>

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:27.420
he<00:19:24.339><c> was</c><00:19:24.559><c> afraid,</c><00:19:25.460><c> and</c><00:19:25.740><c> beginning</c><00:19:26.019><c> to</c><00:19:26.380><c> sink,</c><00:19:26.700><c> he</c><00:19:26.859><c> cried,</c><00:19:27.299><c> saying,</c>

And<00:19:29.900><c> immediately</c><00:19:30.819><c> Jesus</c><00:19:31.960><c> stretched</c><00:19:32.500><c> forth</c><00:19:33.019><c> his</c><00:19:33.500><c> hand</c><00:19:34.039><c> and</c>

they<00:41:12.699><c> say</c><00:41:13.000><c> to</c><00:41:13.139><c> him,</c>

00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:17.400
Well,<00:41:15.179><c> call</c><00:41:15.500><c> upon</c><00:41:16.000><c> thy</c><00:41:16.340><c> God,</c>

00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:21.239
if<00:41:17.940><c> so</c><00:41:18.199><c> be</c><00:41:18.539><c> that</c><00:41:18.820><c> God</c><00:41:19.260><c> will</c><00:41:19.579><c> think</c><00:41:19.820><c> upon</c><00:41:20.179><c> us.</c>

00:41:21.539 --> 00:41:25.400
Once<00:41:21.840><c> again,</c><00:41:22.420><c> the</c><00:41:22.599><c> mariners,</c><00:41:23.260><c> the</c><00:41:23.440><c> Gentiles'</c><00:41:24.280><c> minds,</c>

00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:27.699
are<00:41:25.699><c> being</c><00:41:26.159><c> focused</c><00:41:26.699><c> on</c><00:41:27.000><c> the</c><00:41:27.280><c> God</c>

00:41:27.699 --> 00:41:31.139
whom<00:41:27.980><c> Paul</c><00:41:28.500><c> or</c><00:41:28.860><c> Jonah</c><00:41:29.300><c> worship</c><00:41:30.019><c> and</c><00:41:30.559><c> represent.</c>

00:41:31.139 --> 00:41:35.059
So<00:41:32.219><c> that's</c><00:41:32.539><c> obviously</c><00:41:32.920><c> a</c><00:41:33.159><c> point</c><00:41:33.420><c> of</c><00:41:33.719><c> stress.</c>

00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:37.400
Number<00:41:36.119><c> three.</c>

00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:43.599
In<00:41:39.539><c> both</c><00:41:40.039><c> cases,</c><00:41:41.099><c> before</c><00:41:41.599><c> there</c><00:41:42.320><c> is</c><00:41:42.719><c> deliverance</c>

00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:45.559
of<00:41:43.900><c> those</c><00:41:44.280><c> in</c><00:41:44.539><c> the</c><00:41:44.739><c> boat,</c>

00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.480
including<00:41:46.320><c> God's</c><00:41:47.000><c> two</c><00:41:47.179><c> men,</c><00:41:47.840><c> Jonah</c><00:41:48.199><c> and</c><00:41:48.500><c> Paul,</c>

00:41:49.860 --> 00:41:52.739
in<00:41:50.119><c> both</c><00:41:50.519><c> cases,</c><00:41:51.219><c> there's</c><00:41:51.460><c> this</c><00:41:51.719><c> parallel.</c>

00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:57.579
Acts<00:41:54.099><c> 27,</c><00:41:54.739><c> 38,</c><00:41:55.699><c> they</c><00:41:56.039><c> lighted</c><00:41:56.500><c> the</c><00:41:56.719><c> ship.</c>

00:41:58.739 --> 00:42:00.039
There<00:41:59.059><c> was</c><00:41:59.300><c> hindrance.</c>

00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:02.300
There<00:42:00.920><c> was</c><00:42:01.119><c> an</c><00:42:01.340><c> overload.</c>

00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:04.400
There<00:42:02.579><c> were</c><00:42:02.780><c> things</c><00:42:03.079><c> that</c><00:42:03.260><c> were</c><00:42:03.539><c> standing</c><00:42:03.860><c> in</c><00:42:04.039><c> the</c><00:42:04.179><c> way</c>

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.139
for<00:42:04.719><c> successful</c><00:42:05.360><c> passage</c><00:42:05.920><c> through</c><00:42:06.139><c> the</c><00:42:06.380><c> storm.</c>

00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.679
And<00:42:07.500><c> some</c><00:42:07.900><c> of</c><00:42:08.340><c> the</c><00:42:08.699><c> junk,</c><00:42:09.500><c> some</c><00:42:09.800><c> of</c><00:42:10.059><c> the</c><00:42:10.260><c> wares,</c>

00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:13.159
had<00:42:11.079><c> to</c><00:42:11.239><c> be</c><00:42:11.440><c> put</c><00:42:11.619><c> out</c><00:42:11.800><c> into</c><00:42:12.019><c> the</c><00:42:12.280><c> sea</c>

00:42:13.659 --> 00:42:16.440
before<00:42:14.179><c> God</c><00:42:14.699><c> would</c><00:42:15.199><c> save</c><00:42:15.500><c> the</c><00:42:15.699><c> boat.</c>

00:42:16.739 --> 00:42:17.980
That's<00:42:17.039><c> interesting.</c>

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:21.519
There<00:42:18.659><c> had</c><00:42:18.900><c> to</c><00:42:19.059><c> be</c><00:42:19.199><c> a</c><00:42:19.460><c> release</c><00:42:19.800><c> of</c><00:42:20.239><c> burdens</c><00:42:20.659><c> and</c><00:42:20.940><c> hindrances</c>

00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:24.019
of<00:42:21.980><c> what</c><00:42:22.179><c> was</c><00:42:22.420><c> weighing</c><00:42:22.659><c> down</c><00:42:23.039><c> the</c><00:42:23.280><c> ship.</c>

00:42:24.659 --> 00:42:26.900
And<00:42:24.820><c> in</c><00:42:24.980><c> the</c><00:42:25.099><c> case</c><00:42:25.340><c> of</c><00:42:25.559><c> Jonah</c><00:42:25.800><c> 1</c><00:42:26.019><c> and</c><00:42:26.199><c> 5,</c>

00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:28.679
cast<00:42:27.460><c> forth</c><00:42:27.840><c> the</c><00:42:28.119><c> wares.</c>

00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:33.059
They<00:42:29.780><c> did</c><00:42:30.360><c> cast</c><00:42:30.980><c> forth</c><00:42:31.340><c> the</c><00:42:31.579><c> wares</c><00:42:31.960><c> that</c><00:42:32.059><c> were</c><00:42:32.300><c> in</c><00:42:32.480><c> the</c><00:42:32.719><c> ship</c>

00:42:33.059 --> 00:42:37.400
exactly<00:42:34.039><c> the</c><00:42:34.360><c> same</c><00:42:34.659><c> as</c><00:42:35.039><c> the</c><00:42:35.280><c> Apostle</c><00:42:35.739><c> Paul's</c><00:42:36.199><c> experience.</c>

00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.099
So<00:42:37.639><c> it's</c><00:42:38.159><c> similar</c><00:42:38.480><c> but</c><00:42:38.780><c> different</c><00:42:39.199><c> to</c><00:42:39.400><c> the</c><00:42:39.719><c> experience</c>

00:42:40.099 --> 00:42:42.019

00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.760
We're<00:42:43.599><c> told</c><00:42:43.860><c> in</c><00:42:44.039><c> the</c><00:42:44.199><c> case</c><00:42:44.380><c> of</c><00:42:44.539><c> the</c><00:42:44.699><c> Apostle</c><00:42:45.159><c> Paul</c>

00:42:58.099 --> 00:43:01.440
the<00:42:58.179><c> sailors</c><00:42:58.599><c> were</c><00:42:58.920><c> saved</c><00:42:59.380><c> in</c><00:42:59.559><c> a</c><00:42:59.800><c> temporal</c><00:43:00.119><c> sense.</c>

00:43:02.940 --> 00:43:06.840

00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.039
The<00:43:12.659><c> men</c><00:43:13.019><c> that</c><00:43:13.400><c> worked</c><00:43:13.619><c> on</c><00:43:13.900><c> God's</c><00:43:14.400><c> behalf,</c>

00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:19.420

00:43:21.059 --> 00:43:25.420

00:43:25.699 --> 00:43:26.780
Jonah<00:43:26.059><c> was</c><00:43:26.360><c> saved,</c>
