    The storms of life distract us from focusing on God – learn what Jesus focused on in times of trouble.

    Most of the time in our lives we focus on what to do if things go wrong. We come up with contingency plans in case we are late for a flight. We sometimes even have redundant systems in place in case of failure. In fact, on the space shuttle, most of its systems are backed up by quadruple ...read more

    Never let the sense of past failure defeat your next step with God.

    "Failure: Learning What Not to Do" Matthew 14:22-32 INTRO: "The life of Jesus Christ was an absolute failure from every standpoint except God?s.

    Jesus Help Us In Our Time Of Need

    The miracle greater than walking on water is that Jesus lifts us up during our time of need.

    I’m sure some are asking “why did he select this passage for such a time as this?” and understandably so. If you think it’s true that Jesus walked on water, you’re right. If you think the miracle stops there, you’re wrong. Most people refer to this passage as where Jesus Walked on Water. And it ...read more

    God is able to help us in the difficulties of everyday life.

    In coming to the disciples across the water, Jesus had literally said, "It is I Am". This must have made a strong impression on Peter which the Holy Spirit pressed to his heart as evidenced by his bold profession just two chapters later in Matthew’s narrative. 1. The deity of Christ compels us ...read more

    Second in the series "Meet the Cast." To really understand how to overcome despair in times of failure, we must see the transformation in Peter’s life after Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead.

    Thank God He uses failures! I’m not sure where I would be if God did not use people who continually mess up. I believe there is man in scripture who can totally relate to this. It’s Peter. As I read the accounts of Peter while he faithfully followed Jesus, I also see a passionate ...read more
