Seemingly unrelated stories

Scribe: will you follow if there is nowhere to go?
-
Disciple: will you follow alone?
-
Disciple: will you follow if it keeps you from following social conventions of today?
-
Disciples: will you follow through the storm?

Idea:
-
Following Christ and normal do not mix
-
There are no guarantees except Him
-
There are no relationships that come before Him
-
There are no storms that can stop Him
-
-
Practice:
-
Know His orders
-
Let go of expectations: there may not be dens or nests; houses or church buildings
-
Let go of expectation: there will be times that we must reject cultural norms and expectations
-
-
Strength
-
There is no one like Him who can command seas and winds
-
There is no one like Him who can save us from the storms
-
There is no one like Him who can command us
