Walking on Water

ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the

crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up

on a mountainside by himself to pray.”

(Matt 14:27)

Life’s Storms

Walking on Water

Even in the most unlikely place and in impossible situations, He is

near!!! Our ever present help in times of

trouble.

1st Lesson… Jesus is near

Walking on Water

The disciples think it’s a ghost!

What on earth is that?!?

Peter has other ideas

“Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.”

(Matt 14:27)

Walking on Water

Do you want to walk on water.

What would you choose? Water or Boat?

What’s your boat???

Your boat is whatever you put your trust in. Your boat is defined

by the things you are not prepared to give

up in your life for the sake of following

Jesus.

Walking on Water

“Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Heb 11:1).

Faith_

Fear makes people disobedient to the calling of the master.

OR_Fear

Fear is one of his greatest weapons. But faith is your greatest shield.

Walking on Water

Jesus can make the ordinary person you are into someone who can do extraordinary things for him.

Peter Walked on Water!!!

Walking on Water

Peter’s focus shifted from Saviour to storm.

Peter “…saw the wind…” Matt 14:30

His shield of faith is shrinking and the darts of doubt, the flaming arrows of fear are beginning to hit their target again.

Walking on Water

‘you of little faith… why did you doubt?’

Matt 14:31

Did Peter Fail?

- who will get out of the boat.

Jesus is still looking for people…

- to step out in faith.

- fix their eyes on him

- who after failing will get right back up and press on
