J.C. Ryle emphasizes the importance of studying the Gospels to deepen our understanding of Christ, urging believers to become more familiar with Jesus Himself rather than just the doctrines of Christianity. He illustrates that following Christ does not exempt us from earthly troubles, as even His disciples faced fear and anxiety during a storm. Ryle reassures that Christ, being both fully God and fully man, is able to sympathize with our struggles and provide peace amidst life's storms. He highlights the power of Jesus to calm our fears and the tender patience He shows towards believers, encouraging us to trust in His ability to guide us through trials. Ultimately, Ryle calls for a more profound relationship with Christ, urging both the unconverted and believers to seek Him earnestly.

K.P. Yohannan emphasizes the necessity of dependence on the Lord, illustrating this through biblical examples like David and Goliath, King Asa, and the Apostle Paul. He argues that true qualification for God's work comes not from human credentials but from a heart fully reliant on God. Yohannan warns against the dangers of self-reliance and pride, reminding us that our abilities and successes are ultimately gifts from God. He encourages believers to seek a personal relationship with Jesus, as true knowledge of Him fosters trust and dependence. The sermon concludes with a call to recognize our need for God in every aspect of life, ensuring that all glory is given to Him.
