    At what point did Peter start to sink into the water? The moment he took his eyes off of Jesus and started to think about what was going on around him and the way he was feeling about the situation that he was in! Right?

    Seeing is believing, "But Only Faith Moves The Hand Of God!" Eph. 5:18-20 MSG. 16-18. Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens.

    Beginning To Sink

    The story of Peter walking on the water and beginning to sink provides excellent lessons for us to prevent us from beginning to sink in the trouble waters of life.

    There are two sights in human life which fill the heart with profound sorrow. The first sight is that of a person who has sunk amid the troubled waters of life. It is the one whose once youthful face is no more because of rough, hard living. It is the person who had a good raising, who wore good ...read more

    It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

    Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more
