Faith To Walk On Water
Filed Under Sermons | Leave a Comment
When life gets stormy, Jesus comes to us, just as He came to His disciples, walking on the water saying, “Take courage, it is I. Don’t be afraid!” He bids us to leave behind the relative comfort and security of the boat, take His hand, and walk with Him on the water. As would be water walkers, we need to realize that ultimately there’s no such thing as fear or failure when we put our trust in Jesus. Even when we falter, Jesus reaches out to save us. Scripture from Matthew 14:22-33.

Filed Under Sermons | Leave a Comment
In the world of sports, crunch-time is that critical moment when the outcome of a game hangs in the balance. Spiritually speaking, crunch-time has to do with critical decisions and actions made in critical moments of suffering and testing. Peter offers sound advice for times like these as he encourages us to humbly give God our cares, soberly resist the devil, and confidently stand in God’s grace. Scripture passage from I Peter 5:5b-12.
