Sunday @ Asbury Chapel
This Sunday prior to Thanksgiving we are looking at faith from the perspective of Jesus’ disciples when caught in a storm on the Sea of Galilee. The message will center around this thought ““Would You Walk On the Water With Peter?” Our scripture reading is from Matthew 14:28 – 33.
The disciples had spent much time with Jesus while on earth. He had just fed five thousand men plus women and children they saw that miracle. Then a little later they are in rough waters on the Sea of Galilee. Trouble comes, join us Sunday at 9;30 AM at 2704 South Highway W in Foley, MO if you are able. If not check us out on Facebook at facebook.com/asburychapel.org
I am including the message notes for Sunday.
Message Notes
“Would You Walk On the Water With Peter?”
When was the last time you walked on water?
There are at least four things we can learn from the words of Matthew.
Matthew 14:28 – 33
1. First you can row your boat as fast and hard as you want but sometimes you cannot escape the storm.
Are there things in our life we feel we can navigate without Jesus in our life?
2. Are miracles a result of faith?
We all have lapses in our faith, this is what happened to these men. They forget who their source was in the midst of needing him the most.
3. New followers often keep their eyes more focused on Jesus
Peter must have realized that walking to Jesus was safer than being on the boat – he took a step of faith.
4. Jesus is calling us back into fellowship.
All situations are different and require constant vigilance against our enemy. When we take our eyes off Jesus then we begin to sink.
