About This Book

A sermon interprets a Gospel episode in which disciples awaken Jesus during a storm to plead for rescue, using it to highlight Christ’s plain, authoritative teaching and his miracles as demonstrations of compassion. The preacher urges listeners to be doers as well as hearers, emphasizing practical religion, true repentance, and the moral fruits that reveal genuine faith. Human life is compared to a mariner’s voyage beset by sudden tempests, requiring trust in divine providence; examples of sacrifice and service are commended while warnings are given about vice, reward, and punishment. The address closes by urging continual readiness and penitence to avoid spiritual peril.
