Why did Jesus first forgive the paralytic`s sins, and only later heal him? What lesson was he trying to communicate?

The Religious leaders were always trying to find fault with Jesus - to pave the way to kill Him. Jesus had to show these people that He was the Son of God- the Messiah - and had the authority on earth to forgive sins and He proved it by healing the paralyzed man and by telling him to pick up his stretcher and go home for he was healed. The lesson He tried to communicate was forgiveness - one was first required to exercise forgiveness for spiritual healing before one could expect physical healing.

Why did the people ask Jesus to leave, even after He delivered the two demon-possessed men?

I think the people reacted in this way because they failed to understand all that was happening - and what one does not understand usually creates fear in ones mind. They could not understand whether Jesus was performing these miracles as the Son of God or was He evil. Hence, they asked Him to leave them alone.

Jesus, rebuked the disciples for being fearful. How should they have responsed to the storm?

Jesus rightfully rebuked the disciples for being fearful because He felt disappointed that they were still lacking in faith and confidence in Him. Their response to the storm should have been that of fearlessness and faith because Jesus, their Lord and God was there with them - in their boat - albeit asleep - He was the Master of all the Heavens and the Earth -everything obeyed Him .... and with Him there they should not have feared death....
