    This is a brief ten minute sermon preached at a funeral and it focuses on how Jesus is the One we need to focus on during the inevitable storms we face in life.

    “The Storms of Life” Matthew 14: 22 – 33 The first thing I want to say is that storms are inevitable. As we consider what has been happening around our world over the last several months – with so many hurricanes causing so much devastation and damage – this seems more true than usual. And it is ...read more

    A sermon that teaches to not be frightened by the waves around you but to look at the savior. Too many times we are preoccupied with those things around us and we end up knee deep in turmoil.

    Time to get out of the Boat Text: Matthew 14:29-33 (MSG) 29 He said, "Come ahead. " Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. 30 But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, "Master, save me!" 31 Jesus ...read more

    Every Journey in life has to begin with the first step. Our first step when learning to walk was not easy (for most) we had a tendency to fall and get up and fall and get up again and again and again until we finally could keep our balance and walk. So it

He called up, “Here I am, Sonny, jump down.” But the boy hesitated. “I can’t, Daddy; I can’t see you.” Up came the answer, “No, but I can see you; trust me ...read more

    Jesus teaches us a lesson of dependence upon Him from the storm on the Sea of Galilee.

    UNSINKABLE SAINTS Matthew 14:22-33 INTRO: There is a great lesson to be learned in this passage. Many have scoffed at this account, refusing to believe that God can walk on water. If man can fly through the air surely God can walk on the water! I have no problem believing the miracle (if you ...read more

    A Time And A Place For Solitude & Prayer

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 3, 2006

     | 3,700 views

    Jesus had a perfect relationship with his heavenly father. We can learn lessons from Peter and we can encourage each other to have a time and a place (like Jesus) for quiet prayer & solitude, with God.

    Verse 32, “…when they climbed into the boat the wind died down.” In other words with Jesus on board there was peace and calm. When Jesus and Peter climbed on board, and when the wind died down, the disciples must have been reminded of that previous occasion when Jesus calmed a storm (Matthew ...read more

    We must see Jesus and hear His voice in the midst of the storms of life. He will enable us to stay above the challenges if we stay focused on Him, all the way.

    Jesus reached out His hand and grabbed Peter, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” (14:31) • This line is a revelation - if Peter had not doubted, he would have been walking still. • If he had not allowed the wind to distract him, he could have reached Jesus, still afloat. According to Jesus’ ...read more
