    Contributed by Darian Catron on Aug 23, 2019
     | 5,771 views

    Peter had a choice. Stay in the boat getting no-where. Or get out and come to Jesus who walks on the waves. We have a choice. Stick with what's natural or trade it for the Super Natural.

    The wind always blows around us. The mighty storm comes sooner or later. We have no choice or control over when the storm comes, so how do we keep our focus?

    TITLE: KEEP YOUR FOCUS SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 14:22-33 Of all the narratives in the NT, I know of none more beloved than this narrative of Peter walking on water in this powerful text. No doubt you have heard it before, and our children know it by heart, but somehow, we never grow tired of it. ...read more

    The Jesus We Trust When The Going Gets Tough

    Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jul 16, 2025
     | 600 views

    Peter's desire to walk on water to be with Jesus is certainly a good thing, but he is unprepared for the consequences of this big step of faith. How do we handle headwinds and the waves that will certainly come in this life of faith?

    Jesus was having a pretty demanding day. That morning, Jesus heard the tragic news that his cousin John the Baptist had been killed. King Herod had him executed in prison. It was a terrible injustice. That morning Jesus intended to get away by himself to pray. He needed to know from his Heavenly ...read more

    The Christian life is not about carrying a lighter burden; it’s about walking beside a stronger Savior.

    A little boy was sitting in church during the song service. The leader asked if anyone had a favorite hymn they’d like to sing. Up shot his hand. “Yes, son,” the leader said with a smile, “what would you like us to sing?” The boy answered with complete confidence: “Can we sing 'The ...read more

     | 555 views

    The storms of our century are relentless—economic instability, moral confusion, digital overload, cultural hostility to biblical truth. Many believers feel as though they are rowing against a headwind that never ceases. And into that storm, Jesus comes walking.

    Eyes on Jesus: Faith That Walks on Water - Matthew 14:22–32 Introduction: When Obedience Leads You into a Storm One of the great surprises of discipleship is this: sometimes obedience leads you straight into difficulty. We often assume that if we are following Jesus faithfully, life will be ...read more

    Courage, Not Fear

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 13, 2024
     | 2,248 views

    The theme of this message—overcoming fear with courage. Jesus's disciples in Matthew 14 had the opportunity to exhibit courage, and we do too. The key is fixing our eyes on Jesus.

    Today I want us to look at replacing our fear with courage. Are any of you afraid of heights? I'll have to admit that I am one that is very afraid of heights. When I was in my teenage years, I was helping my dad and brother replace the water lines and sucker rods in his well. He had a ...read more
