Sermon idea that I had is "Jesus took naps and so should you!" This story show us that there are two reactions to "storms." Our reaction which is that of the disciples with anger, fear, and resentment, and then God's reaction which is sleep. Jesus is so at peace in the midst of the storm that He is able to sleep. The reality is everyone is going to die and yet in Christ for the believer it will be as sleep as their body awaits the coming resurrection. In the midst of the storm we too find peace in the beautiful and mighty power of God. We too are able to sleep off the storm for the Lord and giver of life is in our midst.
