We sailed on the Jesus boat on a very rough Sea of Galilee about nine years ago, in December. When we stopped to have prayer & worship, suddenly the waters grew very still. And it was calm until we finished. When the boat turned to start the journey back to the dock, the waters began to churn again and the rain came pouring down. An amazing experience that reminded us if the miracle from the Bible!
This reminds me of a sermon by Jon Courson who said that Jesus actually said 'be muzzled" in the native tongue he spoke. Meaning it was demonic activity churning the sea. It sounds like the same thing happened to you maybe?
@@paulinekarani7098 Thanks for sharing! I had to DuckDuckGo Mark 4:39 interlinear to check the original Greek. You are right! It is "be muzzled". I learned something today. What a gem of a revelation!
Absolutely astonishing! I sailed the Sea of Galilee in 2016, 2017 , & 2018. It was calm 16 & 17, however 2018 we kind of got an experience that the Disciples experienced we had to take a detour to get on the boat the sea was rough. The only thing was going through my mind was what the Disciples was thinking. We gave God praise in the middle of the storm. I wish I knew how to share the video with you guys. I think every Christian should experience a trip to Israel. You must visit several times, because there is so much to see. The Bible comes alive.
This brings a smile to my face and joyful tears to my eyes. Toda!! I am from Atlanta Georgia and I spent 5 years in Israel as a volunteer. I long too return. Your videos ease my longings in some ways!! God bless you little one. By His grace and for His glory we press on!! Keep up the good work!!😘🙏
You know I think anyone whose a believer has a longing to go to Israel, the apple of God's eye...probably you, more than most , because you've been there before...I hope to see it one day.❤❤❤
I teach 5th and 6th grade Bible classes at a Christian school. Today our passage was this exact story in Mark. Your video was so timely as I was able to show them these clips of the actual Sea of Galilee in a storm! Thank You. My students love seeing the places Jesus lived and performed miracles.
Sergio and Rhoda, thank you to share your faith, Jesus can indeed calm any storm we experience!!! I feel honored that you used my footage and grateful you provided the link, your documentary is very interesting as usual. Just to contribute to the discussion for me even a storm with one meter waves could be a serious danger or at least very annoying. They had small boats and no engine, imagine you have to row, and go in the opposite direction of the waves. Imagine that it is night and you can't see anything and you are tired after fishing. We must also remember that in the center of the lake the waves are always a little higher than on the shore. The Tabgha springs where you have been have a temperature around 24°C . This means that in winter they are warmer than the temperature of the lake and in summer colder, it is a perfect place to bathe in all seasons. The waterfall you touched is artificial, the waters gush out at the level of the lake, but there is a pipe that brings them up and causes the waterfall. The Sea of Galilee never freezes, the minimum water temperature does not go below 10°C. The outside temperature never reaches 0°C. Keep up the excellent job!!! Greetings from the Sea of Galilee
Your footage is amazing! Thank you for letting Sergio & Rhoda use it. It was wonderful to be able to see it. Also for the information on the spring! Yes, I used to go offshore about 100 miles in the gulf of Mexico on 100 foot crew boats, & even 2-3 foot waves will toss you around on a boat that size even. Not dangerous of course, but it will definitely toss you around on the boat. God bless!
You two are such a precious Christian couple. Thank you for bringing these videos for us to be able to experience where Jesus walked and ministered. This brought tears to my eyes at the end seeing the calm after the storm and what it must have been like to be there with Jesus. God bless you ❤
This is an eye opening video. I never thought to investigate the Sea of Galilee as you did. Yet I find it fascinating. I also remembered my Savior also walked several miles on this same Sea of Galilee. What a beautiful God we serve.
I wish Rhoda could keep her mouth shut in all these videos The minute she opens her mouth it's something unintelligible and she never never finishes her sentence.. definitely thumbs down for all these videos 👎👎
You both do such an excellent job of making us feel like we are really at the places you explore. This was an excellent presentation of why the biblical storm was supernatural. And I still adore the true affection and love and friendship and respect you show each other.
If you travel around the world you watch stormy seas. To call them supernatural is over the top. It happens then calms, it's the weather controlled by winds, tornadoes etc around our planet. Happening for millions of years. Definitely not supernatural.
Sorry, I'm commenting as I'm watching. When you reached the bottom, I just got goosebumps all over! I wish and pray that your channel would just explode with more subscribers to see all the amazing work and footage you two provide! WOW!!!
Thank you! I would never have the money to visit these sites in person, so your experience in Israel helps me put a picture of the areas found in the Bible. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing Israel biblical places! It is exciting to see it and imagine how events described in the Bible looked and felt! It builds faith! Blessings to you both!
As a gentile from the USA thank u for the video of 1 of the places ill probably never get to see the lord Jesus spent much of his time so this is nice. Love for Israel!!
I live less than a mile from Lake Michigan and I often go to the lake to photograph sunrises in all kinds of weather. But, I generally avoid storms because you will get wet and cold. So, I give you guys credit for withstanding the cold. I can tell Rhoda wasn't having the time of her life there. :-D
As someone who lives near the Atlantic coast in the northeast US, I’m fascinated by how much of a huge deal rain is. That was a big storm, but not that unusual in my neck of the woods. Very interesting video and helps me understand how frightening a storm could be to the disciples.
...loved this video! And the reminder of Jesus saying, "Peace, be still!" is the best! Thanks for all you have shown us of the Bible land through the years.
Thank you Sergio and Rhoda for sharing your video "There is nothing Our God can't do There's not a mountain that He can't move Oh, praise the name that makes a way" He can quiet the winds and calm the waves. Thank you for giving me the visual and thought with your video of just how awesome our God is🙌 May the Lord Jesus bless you both and keep you safe from all storms amen.
I am with Rhoda on that..." I can see you doing that". I love rain..and I can see how they would have been afraid! Wonderful video! May God continue to bless you both! Thanks!
I have just recently found your videos. I LOVE them! It is so awesome to see Israel with such amazing Christian guides! I will never see Israel during this lifetime. Thank you! From the USA.
This reminds me of a day I went on a lake to fish. I was about 19 and I went out alone in a metal canoe. Suddenly there was a storm! I'm scared of storms AND scared of water but figured I could go on a boat since I didn't plan on abandoning ship. Now I was scared the canoe would flip. I tried so hard to row back where I had come but the waves were so big the oars kept leaving the water and I was going further away from where I wanted to go. Finally I realized I was getting closer to another shore so I put the oars in the canoe and just went along with it. I ended up next to a random dock and tied the canoe there and then walked around the lake to the cabin I was staying in with my friends. I walked in and my friends went crazy with disbelief. 'You're alive! Oh my goodness! We were do scared. We even called the sheriff and they said it was too dangerous for them to go out to get you. But here you are all on your own!' It was really neat telling them about my little adventure. Just another time in my life where God spared me. Praise the Lord. As a saying I read says: Sometimes Jesus calls the storm, sometimes He calms His child. I had to be calm. It wasn't easy but thinking clearly helped me realize what I should do. And yes, I was praying out there! Praying hard, lol.🙌
Thank you for bringing things to us… through your videos I get to see things that I would never get to see but would love to see… may God bless you both
What a revelation for me! Thank you Sergio and Rhoda for braving the cold windy weather to show us all what it would be like during biblical times. It makes what happened in the past possible in our days. May God give you continued light unto your path as you find where Jesus walked and bring life to God's salvation for his children. Amen.
This is Michael from PC Florida. Y’all have been such a blessing to us in the past two years that we have been following your ministry. This is another good video. I could picture Jesus walking on the water to the disciples and Peter getting out of the boat and walking to Jesus. You guys still make the scriptures come alive to me. Keep doing what y’all are doing. I pray for you two often. God bless you both.🙏🙏🙏
I will never forget crossing the Sea of Galilee and how beautiful it was...how close we all felt to our Savior on the whole trip. Israel was amazing. God is more amazing. Thank you for all the work you do for this site. I love you guys.
If you don't think a storm can sink a boat on a lake look up the story of the S.S. Fitzgerald, a 729 ft freighter that sunk on Lake Superior during a storm, all 29 souls on board perished. Scary stuff.
Not only did JESUS STAND UP AND REBUKE THE STORM , HE WAS ASLEEP IN THE BOAT WHILE THE STORM WAS AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING THE OTHERS ON BOAT TO FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES, THATS OUR GOD!! HALLELUJAH ALWAYS ON TIME , (Even when he was 4 days late at Lazurus burial and then raisedLazurus up again JESUS,S TIMING WAS PERFECT ) WHAT A AWESOME WONDERFUL GOD ,THANKYOU BOTH FOR THIS VIDEO AND SHARING ISRAEL WITH US ,MAY THE LORDS SHALOM PEACE BE YOURS ETERNALLY AMEN
Hi Sergio and Rhoda, I believe this is the first time to watch your videos. It is very nice to be on location in Israel, and see Bible sights there❣️Thank you for sharing your vision with us.🥰 You gave very good introduction to your goal at the Sea of Galilee. One thing to possibly take into consideration about what caused this raging storm: Jesus put the demonic world on notice while He traveled, ministered, healed, and taught! They were on their way across the Sea of Galilee to do just that, whether the disciples knew that or not, Jesus was about to cast out demons, many. I personally believe this storm was energized by demonic forces, against Jesus and His followers. It is odd that this raging storm should happen to them right before this demonic encounter in Gadara. Shalom❣️
I love your videos. They give me such stronger passion to study the word and put more understanding with places and people. I do not know if I would have ever got to see it in person otherwise. God bless and thank you for all you do. This video was awesome food for thought. Much love from South Carolina
Hi, I love what you said, the Bible is the greatest thing in creation in our dimension, that is, I love it for seventy years, the first verse I learned at 3 it was Jesus wept. Read a chapter of Proverbs each day for wisdom and understanding, its so good!! 🕎✝️
Brilliant film technique of employing windshield-wiper fast-forwarding in telling the story of this storm event at the Sea of Galilee. God-gifted talent.
My husband and I and two of our daughters visited Israel in July of 2004. We spent one day driving around the Sea of Galilee. On the Eastern shore we stopped at a beach park and the waves were high enough that we could body surf. Israel is an amazing place and we spent over a month seeing all the sites we knew about. I wish I had been able to see your channel then because we missed a lot.
Greetings from the UK ! Thank you both for all your efforts. Today is my father's first death anniversary, the grieving process still ain't over but today was a very lonely day for me. Your video not only educated me and showed me an awesome landmark - it brought me peace and comfort for my aching soul. You are right, ain't no storm mightier than my Jesus, He always calms the waves for me :D Much love and prayers, A long time subscriber
@MrTedious Sorry to hear about your Dad. Well done for reaching the first anniversary. My Mother has been dead for 39 years. You never ‘get over’ it, but you adapt as God brings provision into your life. Hope your Dad was a believer and that you’ll see him again in glory. God bless 💜
I am so sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself ALL the time to grieve as you need. I still miss my mom, who would have been 95 yrs old today, on January 17th..... I know she is with Jesus, and happy. And I miss her.
I love you two, showing us round Israel which means so much to People of Faith. Thank you for the channel it honestly gives me sense of calm and a feeling of love when I watch your videos. Sending Love to you both xxxx
My question is what strength the storm that God comes with, will be? During Christ crucifixion, the storm was similar to a typhoon, winds from the west, not east.
So good to see you both again. I’m glad you are well. What a video! I’m with Rhoda, I wouldn’t want to stay. Interesting idea for an experiment. You will probably have another opportunity. I’m so glad Jesus gives us calm & peace in all of life’s storms. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. Many, many blessings
Wayne Brejcha, shared a very important piece of information: "I wanted to share that one thing that will swamp a boat (and break it up) out on the open water (as opposed to getting rolled over and smashed up where the waves are near the shore) is not just the height of the waves but a short frequency (relative to the length of your boat) from one wave crest/peak to the next. Those short-frequency waves can happen with storms that arise quickly on previously calm, generally smaller bodies of water. I have been in my sea kayak on Lake Michigan (sixty miles wide, 300 miles long) in 5 - 6 foot “tall” waves and been in far less trouble than on Lake Kabetogama, a much smaller lake in Voyageurs National Park, with 3 foot waves that have a VERY short frequency from winds that arise quickly. The slopes of those crazy waves are steep and they bang into your hull. If you are heading into the wind, the bow of your boat rises steeply and slams down hard, as opposed to a very large wave that has a long frequency where you just slowly glide up and down, and the surface angle of the wave may not be all that steep. (And if you are heading downwind, those waves pick up your stern and bury your bow underwater in the wave just in front of you…. very unnerving!) It also makes sense to me that if the general weather on Galilee is mostly fair, you could have a boat that is perfectly fit for those ordinary days, but a squall may reveal every weakness in the vessel. I’d say it’s a totally fair guess that even 3 - 4 foot short-frequency waves could break up a small overloaded boat whose repairs may be a little overdue!" Wayne is absolutely right! This is a point we forgot to add into the video. Thank you, Wayne! Please check his awesome animantions: calabashanimation.com/ Also, please check out Filippo Rossi's YT channel who so graciously given us the permissino to use his videos of the storm: ua-cam.com/channels/9imoKjdVY5lXWQea5zLW7Q.html
Was a little nervous for Sergio & Rhoda because of the storm lol. But I'm glad they were safe. And would've been regardless since they weren't out at sea. Sergio is forever the adventurer. And I appreciate the greater perspective he and Rhoda gives us of scripture. Because I always wondered how the storm would be on that day with Jesus. With the desciples rightfully fearing for their lives. But the same Jesus who cast demons out of men, and brought Jarius' daughter to life pushing back death, is the one who calms the storm. Made me emotional thinking about. He is indeed worthy of our praise 😭🙌🏽🙏🏽
I enjoyed a lot watching Sergio & Rhoda. how i wish..one day..i also can step on that place where jesus walked. i love JESUS so much.. i love Israel as well as the people there.. & i love u also Sergio & Rhoda. enjoy, take care & GOD bless!!!
I truly enjoyed this video. And the connection you two have is wonderful. It's great that you have someone who enjoy the same things as you do and you did not have to experience this by yourself. Blessings from America.
Wow!! A hot spring.. how cool. I have a great story of when I was on the boat in the sea of Gallilee.. it was sunny and warm when we got on the boat.. then we heard thunder claps.. yup. The winds picked up..rain..dark clouds.. we were singing in the rain... by the time we got to the other side.. the rain stopped.. not one more drop of rain as we stepped off the boat.. so cool.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post all these Heavenly places of the Holy Land... Sergio & Rhoda need to be on the History Channel or Discovery+.. You already have an excellent video catalog for them to hit the ground running. God Bless You Both. †
Good to see the Sea of Galilee areas during the wet season. Experiencing a storm on the Sea of Galilee like any other lake in the world can be scary. An Israeli gave me a ski boat ride in Taiberius in the evening with no life jacket & it was scary since he was riding very fast in a zigzag way. Thank God that there was no storm at the time of my ride on this famous Sea. Thanks for the video.
Hello 👋🏻😃 I got goosebumps watching your video! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. I look forward to watching each of your videos. God bless you both. ♥️
Surf nerd here: waves are measured from their crest to trough. Their face draws from below, so they look larger on their face. A 4 foot face would be (estimated) a 2 foot wave. God bless you both.
@@emitch9213 seeing a boat doest have hands, arms or intelligence I'd imagine a boat has a tough time measuring. I'm sure there's a joke in there, I'm just not smart enough to see it.
Amén Hallelujah the best video ever confirmation that no matter what storm we're all going through JESUS is with us inside the boat at all times and who calms the storms. GOD bless you Sergio and Rhonda and everyone and your families Hallelujah Hallelujah
@Sergio & Rhoda, I really want you all to know I appreciate you and the channel soooo much. Thank you for your work and faithful dedication to biblical archeology. Thank to Israeli Antiquities and archeologists also for permissions and the close up tours! You make quality content. I ♡ biblical archeo too! You are very best of finds , museum quality.
Even with the heaviest of the storms that you are showing, the Galilee is SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!! I have visited Israel several times! It has got to be the MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE on earth!! Thank you both for sharing!! You are SO BLESSED to be able to live in Israel, God’s Holy Land, the center of the Universe! ❤️
Blessed day my brother & sister in Christ! I have been watching quite a few of your vlogs but have not subscribed until now. I am from Switzerland and a Philipine native. Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful videos about Israel and most of all the places, where our Messiah was and has been while he was here on earth. His mighty miracles. Praise & glory, with great faith in the one & only true living God. I wish & hope someday, God's will. That i may be able to visit the holiest land that almighty God has proclaimed. My heart & mind truly beats with joy & gladness, for even just the thought. Thank you so much again and may God bless both of you & your families, in Jesus name. ❤
I'm praying for a long time to visit Israel and specially explore Sea of Galilee. Thank you for the video and for helping me to experience the Sea of Tiberias virtually🤩 I would love to be there during the storm!😇
Thank you for showing us this! I always wondered about how turbulent the Sea of Galilee can be since I had never seen it be turbulent enough to be as scary as described in the gospel accounts.
Thank you both SO MUCH for this beautiful and inspiring video. It popped up in my recommended section and it always thrills me to see where Jesus lived and preached and the miracles he performed. I have subscribed to your channel. God bless you and keep you safe. 🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱
You two are a great couple for the lord. I pray I find that one day. Also, you guys have great editing skills. I'm from West Virginia and I got my calendar and I love it. Thank you both. God bless you. I have a suggestion, I think you should make a map of israel and detail locations that are pertaining to Christ and other apostles and give little facts about places you have been. That would be awesome!
When I visited a similar spot as you in Israel, during early 2000, a storm just like you two experienced unexpectedly drew up, taking our tour by surprise and simultaneously exciting us!
Great video! You are both such a delight! When my daughter Jessi and I visited the Sea of Galilee a few years ago it was calm and pleasant. This video gave me a great contrast and reawakened my memories of that wonderful visit 💟✝️
Thank you both!!! Always love your stuff. God bless you and keep you. Praise God for those who listen to his calling. Very talented!!! Why is that spring so hot??? YES! Another documentary. 🥰 Love you both from Oklahoma!!!
Greetings from Scranton, Pa. USA! You two are such wonderful, spiritual people! Thank you for the in depth work/view, of our Lord’s life. This is so amazing. I feel right at home with you. Please, keep bringing the bible alive for us in other parts of the world.
I grew up on the new england coast and later worked offshore.. the wind can start and stop on a dime.but the sea never stops instantly after a storm. It takes days sometimes. Jesus calmed the winds AND the seas.. truly a miracle. Remenber Jesus said.. We are going to the other side when he got into the boat. We will have troubles along the path of life.. jesus, even if silent, is with us always. he promised us a perfect finish.. not a smooth sail. Amen!!
We appreciate you guys so much! We hope someday to actually stand there, but this is such a wonderful thing you guys are doing! God bless you from lower Alabama! ❤️❤️❤️

It makes what happened in the past possible in our days. May God give you continued light unto your path as you find where Jesus walked and bring life to God's salvation for his children. Amen.
This is Michael from PC Florida. Y’all have been such a blessing to us in the past two years that we have been following your ministry. This is another good video. I could picture Jesus walking on the water to the disciples and Peter getting out of the boat and walking to Jesus. You guys still make the scriptures come alive to me. Keep doing what y’all are doing. I pray for you two often. God bless you both.🙏🙏🙏
I will never forget crossing the Sea of Galilee and how beautiful it was...how close we all felt to our Savior on the whole trip. Israel was amazing. God is more amazing. Thank you for all the work you do for this site. I love you guys.
If you don't think a storm can sink a boat on a lake look up the story of the S.S. Fitzgerald, a 729 ft freighter that sunk on Lake Superior during a storm, all 29 souls on board perished. Scary stuff.
One of my favorite songs!
It was sunken by a Surprise NorEaster
There are more ships sunk in the Great Lakes than anywhere!
The song😊
The Great Lakes are large and very dangerous! I grew up on Lake Michigan and the power of the wind and water is amazing.
We were there 4 years ago and the water was smooth as glass. Bless you both. I pray for you both at this time of war.
Shalom from Nova Scotia coast 🇨🇦
Love your videos! It feels as though we are right there with you!!! ☺️
God bless you two!
🙏❤️
Not only did JESUS STAND UP AND REBUKE THE STORM , HE WAS ASLEEP IN THE BOAT WHILE THE STORM WAS AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING THE OTHERS ON BOAT TO FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES, THATS OUR GOD!! HALLELUJAH ALWAYS ON TIME , (Even when he was 4 days late at Lazurus burial and then raisedLazurus up again JESUS,S TIMING WAS PERFECT ) WHAT A AWESOME WONDERFUL GOD ,THANKYOU BOTH FOR THIS VIDEO AND SHARING ISRAEL WITH US ,MAY THE LORDS SHALOM PEACE BE YOURS ETERNALLY AMEN
i love it, thank you brother and sister for your vlog. GOD Bless You.
Hi Sergio and Rhoda, I believe this is the first time to watch your videos. It is very nice to be on location in Israel, and see Bible sights there❣️Thank you for sharing your vision with us.🥰
You gave very good introduction to your goal at the Sea of Galilee. One thing to possibly take into consideration about what caused this raging storm: Jesus put the demonic world on notice while He traveled, ministered, healed, and taught! They were on their way across the Sea of Galilee to do just that, whether the disciples knew that or not, Jesus was about to cast out demons, many. I personally believe this storm was energized by demonic forces, against Jesus and His followers. It is odd that this raging storm should happen to them right before this demonic encounter in Gadara. Shalom❣️
What an amazing idea to show us from the actual place! I love you guys and your journeys 😊✝️🙌💕
I am from India.God bless you
I remember those storms in Florida, you could be in sunshine and see a wall of a storm you'll be entering! Crazy!
You two are so courageous! 🤗
I love your videos. They give me such stronger passion to study the word and put more understanding with places and people. I do not know if I would have ever got to see it in person otherwise. God bless and thank you for all you do. This video was awesome food for thought. Much love from South Carolina
Hi, I love what you said, the Bible is the greatest thing in creation in our dimension, that is, I love it for seventy years, the first verse I learned at 3 it was Jesus wept. Read a chapter of Proverbs each day for wisdom and understanding, its so good!! 🕎✝️
God bless you guys in Jesus name.
I loved visiting the Sea of Galilee and Israel. So beautiful and peaceful there, this is quite something to see! Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant film technique of employing windshield-wiper fast-forwarding in telling the story of this storm event at the Sea of Galilee. God-gifted talent.
Really gifted and fantastic scenery!! 💟
My husband and I and two of our daughters visited Israel in July of 2004. We spent one day driving around the Sea of Galilee. On the Eastern shore we stopped at a beach park and the waves were high enough that we could body surf. Israel is an amazing place and we spent over a month seeing all the sites we knew about. I wish I had been able to see your channel then because we missed a lot.
Greetings from the UK !
Thank you both for all your efforts. Today is my father's first death anniversary, the grieving process still ain't over but today was a very lonely day for me. Your video not only educated me and showed me an awesome landmark - it brought me peace and comfort for my aching soul.
You are right, ain't no storm mightier than my Jesus, He always calms the waves for me :D
Much love and prayers,
A long time subscriber
@MrTedious
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Well done for reaching the first anniversary. My Mother has been dead for 39 years. You never ‘get over’ it, but you adapt as God brings provision into your life. Hope your Dad was a believer and that you’ll see him again in glory. God bless 💜
GOD Bless you. Thank you for the encouragement 😊
I am so sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself ALL the time to grieve as you need. I still miss my mom, who would have been 95 yrs old today, on January 17th..... I know she is with Jesus, and happy. And I miss her.
I love watching you two, you get so excited. You make my day!
I love you two, showing us round Israel which means so much to People of Faith. Thank you for the channel it honestly gives me sense of calm and a feeling of love when I watch your videos. Sending Love to you both xxxx
You stole the words out my mouth thank you love you two and this by far is my favorite. So exciting to experience Israel storm chasing. So awesome
My question is what strength the storm that God comes with, will be?
During Christ crucifixion, the storm was similar to a typhoon, winds from the west, not east.
ditto
Love the youth at heart. GOD'S children loving HIS Creation. Blessed my heart. ❤️ Thank you 💞
Why did Cristobal Colonus aka Christopher Columbus come to Amuruca to search for the lost city of Jerusalem?
Thanks guys for braving the storm totally cool. I love how you see things all from a biblical perspective, same here. God bless.🙏😇💙🌊
Those edits with the windshield wiper, epic.
Funny how I came upon your comment during those wiper scenes.
That was very special. Thank you both for sharing that visual, and lesson it held.
Good Morning Sergio and Rhoda it was a awesome video seeing the Sea of Galilee and the land of Israel 🇮🇱 love it ♥️ God Blessed you both 🙏🙏❤️❤️
God bless you. Thank you brother and sister. Robert, from California, USA
So good to see you both again. I’m glad you are well. What a video! I’m with Rhoda, I wouldn’t want to stay. Interesting idea for an experiment. You will probably have another opportunity. I’m so glad Jesus gives us calm & peace in all of life’s storms. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. Many, many blessings
Wayne Brejcha, shared a very important piece of information:
"I wanted to share that one thing that will swamp a boat (and break it up) out on the open water (as opposed to getting rolled over and smashed up where the waves are near the shore) is not just the height of the waves but a short frequency (relative to the length of your boat) from one wave crest/peak to the next. Those short-frequency waves can happen with storms that arise quickly on previously calm, generally smaller bodies of water. I have been in my sea kayak on Lake Michigan (sixty miles wide, 300 miles long) in 5 - 6 foot “tall” waves and been in far less trouble than on Lake Kabetogama, a much smaller lake in Voyageurs National Park, with 3 foot waves that have a VERY short frequency from winds that arise quickly. The slopes of those crazy waves are steep and they bang into your hull. If you are heading into the wind, the bow of your boat rises steeply and slams down hard, as opposed to a very large wave that has a long frequency where you just slowly glide up and down, and the surface angle of the wave may not be all that steep. (And if you are heading downwind, those waves pick up your stern and bury your bow underwater in the wave just in front of you…. very unnerving!) It also makes sense to me that if the general weather on Galilee is mostly fair, you could have a boat that is perfectly fit for those ordinary days, but a squall may reveal every weakness in the vessel. I’d say it’s a totally fair guess that even 3 - 4 foot short-frequency waves could break up a small overloaded boat whose repairs may be a little overdue!"
Wayne is absolutely right! This is a point we forgot to add into the video. Thank you, Wayne!
Please check his awesome animantions: calabashanimation.com/
Also, please check out Filippo Rossi's YT channel who so graciously given us the permissino to use his videos of the storm: ua-cam.com/channels/9imoKjdVY5lXWQea5zLW7Q.html
Crazy Sergio! He saw water and had to run to it! I am with you Rhoda, there's no point in chasing a storm. Thank you both for this amazing video.
I was in the Holy Land in 2017. Thank you for your ministry, & for posting your videos
Was a little nervous for Sergio & Rhoda because of the storm lol. But I'm glad they were safe. And would've been regardless since they weren't out at sea. Sergio is forever the adventurer. And I appreciate the greater perspective he and Rhoda gives us of scripture. Because I always wondered how the storm would be on that day with Jesus. With the desciples rightfully fearing for their lives. But the same Jesus who cast demons out of men, and brought Jarius' daughter to life pushing back death, is the one who calms the storm. Made me emotional thinking about. He is indeed worthy of our praise 😭🙌🏽🙏🏽
GOD BLESS Sergio and Rhoda😇❣️...
Awesome video, thanks for sharing that amazing experience! Bless you both!
So awe-inspiring to see this. Thank you for showing this to us!
I enjoyed a lot watching Sergio & Rhoda. how i wish..one day..i also can step on that place where jesus walked. i love JESUS so much.. i love Israel as well as the people there.. & i love u also Sergio & Rhoda. enjoy, take care & GOD bless!!!
Thank you for some great footage and all your great shows
Thank you for your ministry and the loving way you mention the Precious Name of Jesus!
I truly enjoyed this video. And the connection you two have is wonderful. It's great that you have someone who enjoy the same things as you do and you did not have to experience this by yourself. Blessings from America.
Loved your reminder of how Jesus calms the storms of life! Beautiful!
Sergio is like a small child around water. He just can't stay out of it!
Wow!! A hot spring.. how cool. I have a great story of when I was on the boat in the sea of Gallilee.. it was sunny and warm when we got on the boat.. then we heard thunder claps.. yup. The winds picked up..rain..dark clouds.. we were singing in the rain... by the time we got to the other side.. the rain stopped.. not one more drop of rain as we stepped off the boat.. so cool.
Dear adorable Rhoda and Sergio...appreciate your spirit of adventure, despite the storm...Truly you inspire us...Stay Blessed...Amen.
I love you two. You're so courageous. I wish I could be with you in this rainy day on the shore of Sea of Galilee. Good job!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post all these Heavenly places of the Holy Land... Sergio & Rhoda need to be on the History Channel or Discovery+.. You already have an excellent video catalog for them to hit the ground running. God Bless You Both. †
Good to see the Sea of Galilee areas during the wet season. Experiencing a storm on the Sea of Galilee like any other lake in the world can be scary. An Israeli gave me a ski boat ride in Taiberius in the evening with no life jacket & it was scary since he was riding very fast in a zigzag way. Thank God that there was no storm at the time of my ride on this famous Sea. Thanks for the video.
Thanks guys for freezing in those cold rainy temperatures to bring us this footage.🙏
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.
Hello 👋🏻😃 I got goosebumps watching your video! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. I look forward to watching each of your videos. God bless you both. ♥️
Wonderful to see. Loved being there with you. The video by Moshe Alpert was very convincing.
Surf nerd here: waves are measured from their crest to trough. Their face draws from below, so they look larger on their face. A 4 foot face would be (estimated) a 2 foot wave.
God bless you both.
How does a boat measure?
@@emitch9213 seeing a boat doest have hands, arms or intelligence I'd imagine a boat has a tough time measuring. I'm sure there's a joke in there, I'm just not smart enough to see it.
Amén Hallelujah the best video ever confirmation that no matter what storm we're all going through JESUS is with us inside the boat at all times and who calms the storms. GOD bless you Sergio and Rhonda and everyone and your families Hallelujah Hallelujah
“Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

@Sergio & Rhoda, I really want you all to know I appreciate you and the channel soooo much. Thank you for your work and faithful dedication to biblical archeology.
Thank to Israeli Antiquities and archeologists also for permissions and the close up tours! You make quality content.
I ♡ biblical archeo too! You are very best of finds , museum quality.
Thank you both for this beautiful footage ❤ 💕
I was there in April of 2019. the lake was very calm and peaceful. thanks for the awesome footage God bless you
I'm with Rhoda on this one. never saw the need to chase a storm. thanks for getting out in it, you two.
Even with the heaviest of the storms that you are showing, the Galilee is SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!! I have visited Israel several times! It has got to be the MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE on earth!! Thank you both for sharing!! You are SO BLESSED to be able to live in Israel, God’s Holy Land, the center of the Universe! ❤️
Blessed day my brother & sister in Christ!
I have been watching quite a few of your vlogs but have not subscribed until now.
I am from Switzerland and a Philipine native. Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful videos about Israel and most of all the places, where our Messiah was and has been while he was here on earth. His mighty miracles. Praise & glory, with great faith in the one & only true living God.
I wish & hope someday, God's will. That i may be able to visit the holiest land that almighty God has proclaimed. My heart & mind truly beats with joy & gladness, for even just the thought.
Thank you so much again and may God bless both of you & your families, in Jesus name. ❤
I'm praying for a long time to visit Israel and specially explore Sea of Galilee. Thank you for the video and for helping me to experience the Sea of Tiberias virtually🤩 I would love to be there during the storm!😇
I loved it...God bless you and your family too 💖
Thank you for showing us this! I always wondered about how turbulent the Sea of Galilee can be since I had never seen it be turbulent enough to be as scary as described in the gospel accounts.
This appeared like the Gospel story! 💟
Thank you both SO MUCH for this beautiful and inspiring video. It popped up in my recommended section and it always thrills me to see where Jesus lived and preached and the miracles he performed. I have subscribed to your channel. God bless you and keep you safe. 🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱
God bless you love from Pakistan Lahore praise the lord
You two are a great couple for the lord. I pray I find that one day. Also, you guys have great editing skills. I'm from West Virginia and I got my calendar and I love it. Thank you both. God bless you. I have a suggestion, I think you should make a map of israel and detail locations that are pertaining to Christ and other apostles and give little facts about places you have been. That would be awesome!
Westside of Charleston here! 🙏 all love ! ❤
@@jeR-m I'm from Huntington
I can see the enthusiasm in Rhoda after chasing a storm...priceless
When you see water and when you see Sergio in the same video you know what to expect.. 😂
God Bless you and your work.
When I visited a similar spot as you in Israel, during early 2000, a storm just like you two experienced unexpectedly drew up, taking our tour by surprise and simultaneously exciting us!
Sergio's a real water baby , that and visiting caves , almost expected him to stand under the hot spring .😉
Rhoda, you are a devoted friend and wife. I love the adventure, Sergio, you are a brave man. ❤🙏✝
Great video! You are both such a delight! When my daughter Jessi and I visited the Sea of Galilee a few years ago it was calm and pleasant. This video gave me a great contrast and reawakened my memories of that wonderful visit 💟✝️
You’re so lucky to have visited with your daughter, how beautiful! 🔯✝️
Amen…. Just the thought of Jesus calming the storm with his words gives me chills.
He still does this with us. 😉
Thank you both!!! Always love your stuff. God bless you and keep you. Praise God for those who listen to his calling. Very talented!!! Why is that spring so hot??? YES! Another documentary. 🥰 Love you both from Oklahoma!!!
God bless everyone!
Thanks for the information!
Watching from Talisay City Cebu Philippines......
It’s my first time seeing Lake Galilee! Thank you for all you do. New subscriber! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏 from the USA
Greetings from Scranton, Pa. USA!
You two are such wonderful, spiritual people! Thank you for the in depth work/view, of our Lord’s life. This is so amazing. I feel right at home with you. Please, keep bringing the bible alive for us in other parts of the world.
I grew up on the new england coast and later worked offshore.. the wind can start and stop on a dime.but the sea never stops instantly after a storm. It takes days sometimes. Jesus calmed the winds AND the seas.. truly a miracle. Remenber Jesus said.. We are going to the other side when he got into the boat. We will have troubles along the path of life.. jesus, even if silent, is with us always. he promised us a perfect finish.. not a smooth sail. Amen!!
We appreciate you guys so much! We hope someday to actually stand there, but this is such a wonderful thing you guys are doing! God bless you from lower Alabama! ❤️❤️❤️
