Seeing Jesus, Week 6 "Walking on Water In A Storm" The Big Idea: God refuses to allow us to control Him, yet uses His uncontrollable power to lovingly and sacrificially redeem us. John 6:16-25 The huge subject of this sign is our need for CONTROL There is a Universal Effort to CONTROL God. Jesus did not come, primarily, to deal with our POLITICAL, ECONOMIC and SOCIAL problems, as crucial as they are. We all experience the ILLUSION of control. Two times Jesus meets people in storms: once he CALMS THE STORM and the other time He gets them THROUGH THE STORM The Heart of the Uncontrollable God: 1. I am the UNCAUSED CAUSE 2. You need not be AFRAID 3. One greater than JONAH is here.   Matthew 16:4
