Pastor Dan's audio cut out for an illustration of Peter's actions and at the end of his sermon, but what was recorded of his message is still worth sharing. We apologize for the gaps. Hopefully, the notes below (and attached) will help you to fill in some pieces.
Matthew 14:23-36 Peter walks on water.
- The storm doesn't affect Jesus, but He sees how it affects His disciples.
-Peter challenged Jesus ("impetuous Peter")
-The waves around Peter caused him to doubt and sink.
-He called out "Lord"
-the return to the boat is not instantaneous without Jesus
-the storm didn't end until they were in the boat
- Peter set the example for the church - Get out and DO
- God did not call us to wait and watch
-Not doing something will haunt you more than making a mistake
Be a Peter
- act, don't flee
-act, don't watch
-act, don't wait
Better to make a mistake trying than doing nothing.
Grace covers our mistakes. He can't cover what we don't do.
