3. You must overcome FEAR in order to see it.

b. Jesus did not FALL into the trap set by everyone else on the boat – he took a deep breath before he got in their faces.

c. Jesus showed us how to FACE our situations that may only be solved with a miracle. 

i. Sometimes he calms the storms sometimes he calms me.

iii. Sometimes He speaks to the storm on our behalf. He could have calmed their fears and yet He wanted to prove to them that He was the creator of All.
