    Fish Bait

    Peter’s doubt almost made him fish bait, but Jesus lifted him up and spoke peace to the storm. They worshipped Jesus after the Storm, but we need to worship him before the storms.

    Fish Bait Wednesday, May 21, 2008 By Pastor Jim May Matthew 14:22-32, "And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

    Truth is not dependent on circumstance. God is unchanging and truth is therefore, by definition, unchanging. God can be trusted even in the storms of life because He never changes!

    In The Storm, Mathew 14:22-33 Introduction In a storm one dark night some sailors were thrown by the sea upon a rock, to which they clung for their lives. Their first feeling was one of joyful gratitude. They were on a rock. Their second emotion was a sickening fear, for the tide might rise, and ...read more

    God is calling his rural church to change. Stop looking at the waves and see them instead as an opportunity for mission

    Sermon: If you want to walk on water, you better get out of the boat! 1. Introduction: I would like to focus on two particular verses from our Gospel reading today. They occur in the middle of the story of Jesus walking on the water. The disciples have run into a storm on the middle of the ...read more

    Principles of growing through our fears from the life of Peter and his walking on the water.

    Growing Through Your Fears Matthew 14:26-33 I’ve come to believe that procrastination and fear are married emotions. A lot of fear is actually hidden. You can hide fear in procrastination. It may look something like this: “I don’t really want to talk to this person, confront this person, so ...read more

    The miracle of Jesus walking on the water is very well known by Christians of all ages and denominations, but let’s take a little different look at this section of scripture. Here we will find 3 areas to help us grow in our faith questions during our "sto

    Love Lifted Me Matthew 14:22-32 During the season of Lent, we usually focus on what we are giving up. For some it may be candy, or TV, or chocolate, for my 17 year old daughter it is sodas.

    What do I learn from the storms of life? Everyone has storms. What does Jesus do for us in the storm? He prays for us, comes to us, and ministers to us.

    FINDING GOD IN THE STORM Intro: What a great day to be on a lake! Wouldn’t that be nice? There’s a story in the Bible about some men who were out on the lake. But while they were out there a storm came up, and Jesus came to them. I read an amazing story that I want to pass on to you. I ...read more

    I used this as an informal message on a Sunday evening; letting the congregation guess what the situation was as I gave out the 'hints' one by one.

    THREE SHORT PRAYERS: Some of the best prayers we pray are prayers that come from a desperate heart. • Jesus warned against praying just to be seen by other people: • Matthew 6:5, “When you pray you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues ...read more

    We have to get out of our boat in order to serve the One we call Master

    The disciples had just reported to Jesus that John had been killed and was now buried. John, as you recall had gone to Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, and told him he was sinning by marrying his brother’s wife. That might be why he was known as “John the Baptist”. At a ...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

    While Jesus was praying on the mountain, the disciples were in a boat trying to cross the sea. Jesus approaches the boat walking on water. They thought it was a ghost and it frightened them until Jesus spoke up.

    Ninth Sunday after Pentecost Our Gospel reading this morning talks about the apostles’ struggle with fear as a raging storm tosses their boat like a cork on the churning sea. Now fear could be a good thing or it can be a bad thing. It can cripple us or it can be a lifesaver. Someone once ...read more
