    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

    In the journey that Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem they conquered their fear and learned to live by faith. Peter was called to do the same.

    Many people read the Bible and read of Bible characters and stand in awe of what they could do and how they could live. We must never forget that people like Peter, were real people, with real problems, simply living their faith.

    Introduction Just about every kid has a period in their lives where they love superheroes. The kids idolize the superheroes ability to do the impossible, to fly, their incredible strength or their x-ray vision. When I was growing up, I loved superman. I wanted to be just like superman.

    This sermon teaches us the importance of allowing our faith to be stretched.

    Have you done anything in your faith walk recently that stretched you? We use the term “stretch” to refer to growth, development and learning. I must admit, it goes against human nature to be stretched. There is a popular story that illustrates our reluctance to be stretched. Ill- A man was ...read more

    Risk It

    Life is not about playing it safe, nor is the Christian faith. Faith requires that we take risk, just like Peter took a risk stepping out of the boat.

    Many of you might remember the Lethal Weapons movies of a few years back. In these movies there was a good safe cop who did things conservatively, by the book, who wasn’t in to taking unnecessary risks. Then there was the character played by Mel Gibson who was always taking risks. He would jump ...read more

    So often we either sit like a knot on a log and refuse to seek God’s purpose for our lives or we do seek God’s purpose and realize just how difficult it can be to fulfill it.

    Leaving the boat to get on board. A. John the Baptist had just been beheaded by King Herod. Because of the rat race that was going on Jesus got his disciples in a boat and headed away for a little R and R. The crowds noticed Jesus and his disciples heading away from town, across the lake, so ...read more

    Beginning To Sink

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 19, 2013
     | 7,335 views

    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

    Faith is a reductionism of the greatest kind. For in Jesus, the "extraordinary" is nothing more than the "ordinary" things in life PUT TOGETHER to achieve an "extraordinary" feat.
