Jesus Walks on the Water: Matthew 14
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.
23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,
24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
OUTLINE THIS TEXT: The speaker starts by reading a verse from the Bible, Hebrews 11:1, which says that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
The speaker explains that faith is like a powerful telescope that allows us to see beyond our current circumstances and into the realm of God's promises. It's the bridge that connects our present reality to the future that God has prepared for us.
The speaker emphasizes that stepping out in faith is not always easy but the rewards are beyond measure. When we step out in faith, we align ourselves with God's will and open the door to miracles, blessings, and spiritual growth.
The speaker encourages viewers to examine their lives and ask themselves where God is calling them to step out in faith, what dreams they've put on hold because of fear or doubt, and what mountains seem too high to climb.
The speaker differentiates between believing and acting on that belief. They reference James 2:17 which reminds us that faith by itself if it does not have works is dead.
The speaker gives the example of Noah and the Ark, emphasizing that even though Noah's act of faith might not be as grand as building an ark, it's just as important in God's eyes.
The speaker encourages viewers to identify their own act of faith and take that first step, reminding them that God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
The speaker emphasizes that when we step out in faith, we're acknowledging that God's wisdom is greater than our own, and we're saying, "Lord, I don't know how this will work out, but I trust you." That's the kind of faith that moves mountains.
The speaker uses the example of Peter walking on water to illustrate the importance of keeping our eyes on Jesus. When we focus on our circumstances, fear creeps in and faith falters.
The speaker challenges viewers to identify the waves in their lives that are causing them to doubt and shift their gaze back to Jesus.
The speaker explains that stepping out in faith also means being willing to leave our comfort zones. They use the example of a butterfly to illustrate this point.
The speaker references Philippians 4:13, which assures us that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. This verse isn't just a nice saying to put on a coffee mug, it's a powerful truth that can revolutionize your life when you truly believe and act on it.
The speaker points out that stepping out in faith doesn't mean you won't feel fear. Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's moving forward despite the fear. Even Jesus, in his humanity, experienced fear in the Garden of Gethsemane, yet he chose to trust the Father's plan. We're called to do the same.
The speaker encourages viewers to reflect on the areas in their lives where God is calling them to take a leap of faith and to identify what's holding them back.
The speaker reminds viewers that every giant in their life is an opportunity for God to show His power, and their act of faith, no matter how small it may seem, can be the catalyst for a miracle.
The speaker asks viewers if they're ready to step out of the boat and onto the water, and if they're prepared to build their ark even when there's no rain in sight.
The speaker tells viewers that God is waiting for them to take that first step, trust Him, and watch as He turns their ordinary into extraordinary.
The speaker identifies obstacles that often hinder our progress, such as doubt and fear of failure.
The speaker addresses the importance of overcoming doubt and fear, referencing examples from the Bible, such as John the Baptist and Jeremiah.
The speaker emphasizes that failure in God's Kingdom looks very different from failure in the world's eyes.
The speaker mentions that sometimes the obstacle to our faith is not internal but external, as illustrated by the opposition Noah and Jeremiah faced.
