From Now OnSample

Want an easy-to-remember way to read and study the Bible? No matter which passage of Scripture you're reading, ask yourself these three questions: "What?" "So What?" "Now What?" We'll show you how!

WHAT? What is this passage about?

What different emotions do you see the disciples having in this passage?

SO WHAT? Why does it matter?

• Why do you think Jesus responded to the disciples the way he did?
• What do you think Jesus' response to the physical storm in this passage tells us about his response to the figurative storms we face?

NOW WHAT? What should I do about it?

• Have you ever doubted that Jesus cares when you feel like a storm is raging? What happened?
• What about a difficulty you're in causes you to feel afraid? How would you describe this fear?
• What would it look like for God to give you peace in a scary or tumultuous time? How could you remind yourself of Jesus' presence?
