Are you glad to be in church? Do you like who you're still the next to? There was a lot of, yes, is sometimes i'll keep one hundred. I've think you before I go. no.

I'm so glad that to hear if you walked into social, we start of every single year with the word, and I cannot believe we're about to english every single day or sunday, rather of twenty twenty four. We have been declared that we are unshakable. This is, are you to be unshakable and is connected to he per chapter twelve? And I think we have to read IT one mogan. Is that cool? Can you all believe we've done this every single sunday?

How do you still have got a memories?

Can I see you here? You're still got a memories. Then what you waiting for? Come on and player, my god, I is no condemn this.

Okay, you still got talk, but come on. Less ready, together with uplifted voices. One, two, three.

Do you see what we got?

And on shake of kinder, and do you see how thankful we must be, not only thankful, but party with worship deeply ever before god. The god is not different. Bus, there he is, actively cleaning house torching.

It's right. And he .

walked away to with all k got here sound good. so.

Yeah, if you serve on a service team, would you give me away? Give me away. We love our service.

And thank for and thankful for every person that puts their hand to the plan to make IT possible for us of the church. But we did that verse of the year at the center, and IT went off. We just had amazing time celebrating our thirteen.

I want to go to me to Matthew p to fourteen today. Matthew fourteen, don't sit down yet. After days you can sit.

We were many student. If you can just honor the reading of god's were Matthew fourteen. And I want to look at versus twenty two, three, thirty three, a familiar passage, scripture.

But I believe god's going give us a fresh perspective on a today. A man, you ready, IT says immediately, jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side while he dismissed the crowd. After he dismissed them, he went up on a mountain side by himself to pray.

Later that night, he was there alone that blesses muscle, even genes, said, I bes, I love you. But at a moment you go head and go cross on the other side, crowds he just fed on food. He said, you're got to food.

Let's go. I need time to pray. And the boat was already a considerable distance from the land that was buffetted about the ways, because the wind was against him.

And shortly before dawn, jesus went out of them, walking on the lake. And when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. It's a ghost, they said, cried out in fear.

But jesus immediately said to them, take courage. IT is, I don't be a frame, lord, if issue. Peter replied, tell me to come to you on the water. Come, he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and cae tored jesus.

But when he saw the win, he was afraid and beginning to think, cried out three of the most powerful words humanity could ever say, lord, save me immediately. Jesus were reached out as here and cartoon, you have little faith. He said, why did you doubt? And when they client into the boat, the wind die down.

Then those who were in the boat worships him, saying, truly, you are the son of god. You say, a man, come on, that's good. Stuff that's good.

How would approach today just using this as a title? We out here, we not wear out here. We are this messaging for nobody.

I know this for me in this season that we are in right now. We, who would you help me preach? Look at the person next to which everyone you like the best.

And just say, neighbor, ever we out here. K, neighbors stuck. I've found another neighbor.

Another neighbor come, say, other neighbor, i'm walking about things. So i've gotta tell you. We add here.

if you believe god can speak to today, would you give me some for. Father, have your way today. Hey, man, you may have see that in the presence of the law.

We out here, who social fan this past week, had the incredible opportunity to help my oldest offspring with something that I actually excelled in when I was in school. By the way, let me just say, any parents in the house are the parents, give me away, makes some noise. Who had tired?

Oh, hang.

And yeah, we can make IT parents. One of the best feeling in the world is when your child brings you a homework assignment that you can actually help them with. Okay, contrary when the worst feelings ever is when they bring you a math problem and you ve got to go, you want help with this? okay? I know this is easy, real quick.

Let me go to the restaurant. We're quick, and you've got to walk away, say, ChatGPT, very quick. What is seven times three? That that is not a good feeling.

But this was awesome this week because I got to prepare my oldest baby girl, evy, because he was getting ready for her first spelling bee. Her first spelling bee, you remember the spelling, be late and gentleman, they still do this. And so I say, oh, I got you.

You want to help her parent for the spelling b, i'm the daddy for the job, okay, public speaking and spelling, I got your girl so we ve got those flash cards out unless we were going through the flash cars. I tell you, what were we had to work on. This word almost took us out. Probably takes some yellow ready forward wednesday.

It's been a lot of time .

on winds day because some dummy want to put A D in wednesday. So I told EV, I said, hey, I don't care how sounds financially IT is wide day. That's how you going.

Weird on the spelling bee. So SHE prepared. SHE got ready. And i'm proud to announce the day my baby girl ve got forth place in the school, in the house.

go for place. I cannot believe .

they're still doing spelling is a member. Melb, your ga second place when I was in this? okay.

And no collapse. That's cool. That's cool. I got a second place middle school spelling.

I still remember which one took me out. A sf gust, that's what took me out. Objected up for service.

I think I get IT a sophist E S O P H A G. You is this? I put IT at first service I got at that time IT.

This is, what blow for me, is that we are still doing spelling bees. That as gentleman, why are we subjecting students to this pressure? I did my research.

I've found out that the first recorded spelling b was in eighteen or a eighteen or eight is what they did for fun before tiktok, they would gather around and what students spell words do you know how much pressure that is? You know how much courage IT taste to step out in front of people in spell IT is a general. The number one fear, this is research.

The number one fear, this is data is public speaking.

Death is number two. That means people would rather be in the casket than speak out of funeral. That's how much pressure to just a hold of microphone and speak in front people.

And we want to set up kids to get up and spell in front of people. And you don't get any help except for use IT in a senate. And what's the definition? Wow, are we doing this?

Teachers less. Start with the spelling bees, I think, is enough. I started thinking about my tex today and I realized that jesus is not just savor.

He's not just master. He's not just lord. He's actually a teacher.

He's a teacher. He's a teacher. That's why he has disciples. He's a teacher. And I was thinking, if god himself had a spelling be, what would be the word that he would have a spill going to argue today that there is only one word in god's, and spelling being this one word, every single believer will have to spell past, present and future.

This is the only word that god includes in his spelling, be that word is faith. faith. There's only one word in gospell b and he wants you to spell IT.

IT is faith. faith. Here me is at the core of our salvation. IT is impossible to over estimate the value of what faith is. If you're gonna walk with, how do you know you gonna walk by faith? Faith is essential to your salvation.

So much so that when paul rise to the church of emphasis, he says that we have been saved by Grace through faith, that faith is the bridge, if you will. That even gets me to the Grace that necessary, my salvation. He is important. IT says.

without fate, IT is possible, impossibly impossible to please god. He also says that he will be according to you on to your faith. He said that to just shall .

live by faith, and I want, if there's anybody who they can testify, that you have come this far in your life, not by your intelligence, not by your resume, not by how you are, but you have come this far in your .

life .

by faith is critical. Faith is necessary. If you're going to walk with god, you've got to have faith.

And I relaxed to some of you are to into the quire, because you're so a million with the word faith that you've actually allowed faith to lose its potency. And you want to reduce faith to something that IT is not. And I need let you know what faith is not.

First of all, faith is not a characteristic. Faith is not a personality trait. Faith is not something that you get when you meticulous.

From the upper east alone of the most prestigious theological seminary, faith is not a degree that you put on your wall. Faith can not be a deduce to a picture at hobby lobby, that is, frame of a little kitten. Hold an on to a rope time.

But keep the faith. Face is so much bigger than that. As a matter of fact, faith is a now, but the best Operates as a bird. Faith is action, fake domains, action faith domains that you do something, don't tell me you have faith and you've never taken a step forward.

Don't tell me you have fate, and you've never believe god for being impossible and then put some action next to IT that's why James says faith without works is yeah if you are gonna have fake faith will push you out of your complacency. Faith will push you out of your mediocrities. Faiths will make sure that you get off the sideline and get in the game. If you are gonna ay IT safe.

You only got no faith. You only got faith, not when there's a guarantee for Victory.

You haven't step out in faith unless there is a possibility for failure.

Here.

some people think you're walking by fate and you've been playing as safe.

If you have not .

had a moment recently in your life, would you like, well, i'm out here. You are .

walking by faith. You are playing IT have fate. What have you do? Crazy think faith will make you leave a good job and say, i'm believing god or was in nex when is the common I have no clue I just know this season is over and he said.

go have your family members looking at you like you have a lost china state. What have you pack up and leave a city? That true love come to dallas.

Just on a word from god, who am Operator to think requires courage. What make you. Step up, step metal appear .

after I step out. Faith is spelled or the spilt. Okay, because this is spelling by faith.

You spill spell. See is how some we are. Spill faith in this war.

You don't pay the spelling be because god gives you one word. This is only the word faith. And you go, faith, okay.

C.

A, L, faith. And god goes dragon, okay, one more chance. Faith, okay, S, A, F, E, trying.

A face, P, E, A C E track IT and something I look because you always use. I don't have a piece about this. As you have to say.

god just only gives you peace, just just like I want more time.

Faith is, are already faith, R I S K. Father is spilled risk. Don't tell me you step out in faith and you haven't taken a risk. pasta.

Could you use IT in a sentence? Absolutely without risk? IT is impossible to please go. Risk is the substance of things. Hope for is the evidence of things not see risk has made you will be at according to you until your risk.

Let me go, hebrews chapter lever IT was by risk that no a built art before he ever got the forecasts that he was gone to rain. IT was by risk that Abraham stepped down and said, i'm gto go to a land that got will show me was by risk. That series said, i'm gonna .

conceive a promise child even though i'm too .

old to be IT is a risk to walk by faith so faith and risk are syn nony mous. And some of you are gonna miss out on the adventure that god has for you because you want to walk by safe. You got said, no, we don't walk by safe.

We want by risk. And that by side brings me to my text today. And Matthew chapped to fourteen, arguably one of the most famous passages of scripture in the entire bible. Out care if you skip the bunch suny school classes, you know, Peter walking on water and about jesus walking on water. This is a monumental moment in the bible, and I don't know which one impresses you.

Does IT impress you that jesus walked on water, or does IT impress you that Peter walked on water? I keep one hundred when I first IT, I was that impressed that jesus walk on water. I think if you can speak water into existence, you can probably walk on IT too. So so I first, I really was not impressed that jesus walk.

don't want, but Peter, Peter walked on what you, Peter, some you.

your favorite bible character, your favorite disciple, needs to be Peter, because you is Peter and Peter is you. Peter the one who one day he's up, the next day he's down.

Peter.

who loves the lawd, but he still got some issues that he's working out who will speak before he actually thinks Peter, who in one moment he says you're the son of the living god and the next moment he like jesus and nobody could crucify you and you said .

behind me is in the same moment Peter, who will cut you out Peter, who has a knife up under his low scar down and will cut ch your air if you set too close even though jesus said, don't bring the soil you think I don't care what he said is get a real appeal Peter, who walked on water and have little faith by walking on water. You made me shout to think that somebody as jacked up and as messed up as Peter deal with little beauty thing was able to walk on what, and makes me wonder, what can god do with somebody is checked up as broken and as inconsistent as me. See some your .

acting bushi don't act like you always get IT right. Don't act like you ve had this perfect life. Don't act like you just to love and always just have your head on the chest of jesus.

You don't some Peter and you so you blows my mind when the crazy the cycles is one of the .

only two people who to walk on h two o so am impressed. The Peter did what only jesus could do, but i've been the one impressed what jesus walking on water, to be honest, guys like jesus, of course, you can walk on water, but is able to study in this text this week can be going to speak to me. He said, what Robert understand, that you have the privilege of reading the bible in retro spin and getting the full, complete story.

What I revealed, who I was, the disciples did not have their privilege understand. When you read your bible, you get the full story. So you read, you know, you read about the storm and you not even trip, could you like, I know sp deal is coming.

So you know, feel the tension of because you know how the story is going to end. The disciples did not have that privilege. Can we put our feet in the psychological shoes of the disciples? Understand that jesus revealed himself to them progressively.

IT was over time. He did not show all his cards. They won.

Yeah, if IT was me, I would have showed him everything. Day one, your bike would be about this idea right here. Cause day one, i'm glows in the dark.

Day one, and walk on water. They want on most flying fish and buried at the same time they want. I'm hello people.

I'm doing all the miracles on day one just then. Do that. He slowly disclosed his divine to them. Over time, they were getting certain scenario of situations and then they would realize I didn't know he could do that. That's one to have the pipe like, oh, surely he is the sun of god. He's like our in china too, you that but he did not reveal all that wants as a matter of a fake. He put a demand on them to follow him and risk .

everything. And they did IT not fully knowing who he was. They risk everything.

They let their business, they walk away from everything. And they risked not fully knowing who he was, but trusted him to reveal who he was over time. What is god teaching us? He's teaching us that you don't get the revelation until after you risk at all.

Some of you never step in the what god has for you because you waiting for him to give you a full, detailed powerpoint presentation. Jess, i'll follow you, but I need the itinerary. When are we're going to be in component? Because i'm not giving you anything. I will tell you is come and follow me and I watch you a trust. I know where i'm going, even when you don't know, and i'll give you the revelation after the risk.

This is so good, your recording.

some will watch you later. They didn't know they rist force. And when they got the relevance, they are like you on your wedding.

What american people like you said i'd do, but you didn't know what you would say and i'd do too. You said I do first. And over years you .

get revelation of lie. You never put the toilet y there. Oh, wow. This is your credit score.

Wow, didn't know that before, but you rests first and you .

ve got the revelation ation over time. Who says we are here?

This is why live in together before you get married.

Does IT work doesn't work because when you live in to get you just trying to see well, how much risk am I am for, there's no cover inet to keep you. So you just waiting to see something so you can go all out. I'm out, and that's why you can never be settled in the love.

And that's why god's way is make a commit, make a commitment first because the company in and commit me keeps me when the feelings are gone. No wonder no images. But i'm out here now.

I'm cool with IT. See, the revelation always comes after the risk, and they rise at all. And they followed him and watched this over time.

He disclosed to he was, who can you imagine? Come on, let's use our exegetical creative imagination. Imagine, be in one, the disciples, and you risk at all, but you really don't know who he is.

Imagine be a Matthew because, you know he's a text collector so he keeps good notes and record. He's like, i'm following. I always they know who he is, but every time he disclosed ourself that I will make a lot chart.

So I know we can do all kind of thing, but this just do water. What can this man do with water? He's at a wedding turns water.

And one who do. That he could turn water entrepot on the war.

They did know that. So as soon as he did after math, you pull out as tablet. Going under the cattegat of water can turn water into why? Well, what else can this made?

Do they facial one day can catch thing to al a an orm carpenter.

but thought your nets on the other side lesly what happens? I know why you tell them. Make less, try and throw, row their nets on the other side, catch more fish than they ever call. Matt pulls out his tab, knows where the fish are and they see they keep walking with the overset .

when they they got to pay some taxes. Jesus said, go catch a fish and the first fish you catch the money don't be in its mouth. Math is like, no, he did IT knows which fish got money in a math. This doesn't. I didn't know all of .

this was in .

hit rolls up on a brand. Do can you see?

Met how we going? Do IT how we go here. And he got multiple ways how we going to do IT. And now for Sunny.

say, jesus in bits in men.

rus IT on .

the dudes out. And IT does the most. Amy, just insane. Roothing, go wash that off and you will be able to see, sorry.

but they do.

washes IT off and gets his side back. And that also miss, is this in the spit category of the water category? I don't know, but I guess water, water from his mouth and did wash.

What can he do in one day?

You're in a storm, a bad storm, and jesus is on the boat. Sleep on a cushion, mark says chillax, and sleep and watch this. You can tell they don't know who he is about what they say when the yellow .

of they did not say office, they.

Didn't say they didn't know that was in. Says they didn't have a revelation of his power. They could even attack his power.

They had to attack his care. So I go, I don't you care without .

to that and they are. Do you power? You want to talk about care? Excuse me.

Excuse, excuse me, peace, peace deal and the winds and the ways have to shut up at the words that imminent from the mouth filth of master. And their jaws on the light, and that gets his tap and goals. Water can say peace, be steel and the winds and waves or bay. Extra addition, if you're in a storm, as long as he's on your boat, you are going to be OK.

even if he's a sleep period. In that awesome, you know, of feeds on your boat.

you going to be alright, you all right into IT.

I used .

to say that stuff, and I used to share until I read our text for the day.

Remember jesus said .

on the ball. So if i'm gone out, the last revelation of how we stop the song, my category for storm stopping in my life is he got to be a mobile and it's gotto say, peace be still but what do you do when jesus makes you get in the boat and go to the other side without him? What do you do when he, the greek is forceful, is almost like he shot the, the, the boat go to the other side and he's not in the boat with you.

And while he sent you off, watched this, you run into a storm. You run into a storm that threatens to take your life angle when his blowing against you. And you had flashbacks of the last storm that you went through. But at least in that storm, jesus was on your boat, and now he's not in the boat. And what do you do when .

you made me go on this boat and I, and now my obedience gotten me in a store?

This what church folks don't like to talk about, say, we love talk about when I disobedience, tes got us a storm. Oh, i've reached out the youth camps and i've given that message.

You know, storm right now cause you this obedience.

just a jona message, by the way. See, i'm that there's a well waiting for you, you just obey storm that makes thanks to our finite minds that if I am this obedient, then this storm is a consequence of my this obedience and can I just say in love, some of you are facing a storm right now, and that storm is a direct result of your, oh, be dios. That's why the storm is there.

But this is not a storm of disobedience.

The disciples of .

facing this is a storm of obedience.

He told me to kid on the boat and go to the other side.

and I obey the word of the law. And here I am walking.

rowing, if you will.

in obedience. And i'm still facing a storm, and i'm still facing a win. This want to help.

Somebody has face an opposition right now to let you know that just cause you go to opposition. That does not mean you're not in the will of god. You can be in the perfect will of god and still have a storm. Oh, away with this cotton and Candy biology. If i'm in the perfect world of god.

I won't have any story talk to me about Matthews out to fourteen year because they're in the perfect will of god. And the wind is blowing against him, and jesus has the nerve to not only send them into a storm without him, but they go god to the mountain, pray and just watch. How you read the bible, he's, I read about the hold up.

This is male practice. Jesus is a storm. I am rolling for my life, you know, I can swim. Salt water is getting my eyes and you in the mountain.

Watch me. What is? Wrong with you.

It's ways to look at that. One way to look at that is god A I cannot believe that you would allow me to be in this store and you would stand at a distance and do nothing about IT. If you were really god, you would perform like you did last time, and you would just stop the storm.

You would stop this, how there you be on a mountain top. Watched me not be able to pay my bills. Watch me be a single parent. Watch me go through this rugger you feel so that's one way to look at IT. Another way to look at IT is that even when i'm in the storm, i'm always in the sight of masked here that there .

is no storm that can face my life, that god sothern hand and eyes on to watching over me. I don't know who this is for. I know you had a song right now, but please don't think that god turned his head. His eyes is watching you. He still looking.

This is the love of a savior. Watch this. Who knows that his disciples are gone to have a season where he will not be there in physical form. So I want to teach you to trust me, even when you don't physically see me in the bone.

Do you have an of trust in me to know that even when the winds are coming against you and you physically seem me there, that my eyes is still watching you and i'm still watching to make sure you can make IT you can make IT. He's just there. Watch them and they struggle in in the middle hole in the middle, that middle part mess me up.

That's and judge got gospel child to six because you've been to israel. See a gali and that b IT shouldn't have taken this long but him to get across to the other side. But because of wind is coming against them, they struggle. You felt like that in life is like, really, I should be further than this for real law.

SHE got a husband. I .

should be.

Further, this, I still don't have the job I want in this season. I have you able feel like what is common .

against me? The crazy party is when you're out there. If the wind has blown against me, IT would be so much easier to turn around and go back.

And I don't know this messages for, but you are about to turn around and go back because the opposition is too much. And god just set me to tell you, trust him. He gave you a word.

You are gonna get to the other side. I know that seems like it'll be easy to go back, but you can go back. Yes, we are here now.

We are here, here, we are here. You know, when is blowing against them is so funny? Turned into a media eroded gist this week. I didn't know that the way we categorize storms is about the strength of the wind. Like, you know, this category fat, but how fast that went is blown.

If is category one you don't have is all, by the way, in that crazy that we categories zed storms by something you can even see. We categorized the straight th of the storm, but something you can even see. That's why you've got to be careful how you judge people. When you look at them from the outside, you don't have a clue what win their face and you don't have a clue what battle they're going to be careful .

before you open up your mouth, open up your phone to put a comment on somebody else in life. You have no clue the win that's coming against them. You have no clue what you took for them to get up out of band and actually come to church. You know, have a cool about the wins. Have you noticed everybody .

post of their wins?

I 怎么办？ Everybody post their wind.

W I N S.

we don't post .

their wind to stuff that comment against you. Don't be impressed with the winds sometimes. Is the when this common against me and that they are struggling and god is just watching. Must fill .

over IT seems cruel .

than IT on the reason, why am I going to public parks with my kids and I just playing the backyard? Because when I go to public park, you can just start talking to people. I got three of them, and I start talking to, sometimes this has happened before I could distract in the conversation.

oh, hello, where is? Where is the dad?

Talk to get my I on, that which I love, that which I value. And I came to tell you, your god is not distracted. He knows exactly where you are.

He says you.

he said you watches them. He has the struggle in the thin. He goes for watching h to walking, which seems like something to shout about.

But i'm still mad about the walk because if i'm about to drawing and the wind is coming against me, jesus, if there's every time you to run. This year, why here? What is this text called jesus? Walk around water IT should have been .

jesus running on just, I need to see you in a full out. No live screen time up come. He does not do that. They are struggling in the storm, who the greek .

literally suggests that he's just take a show. I'd like going have .

dinner before you help. This is like. Why is he? Why is he not running?

Why is he walking to the, why do you have a calm savior and a chaotic s stone? How, you know he was not running to them? Because this was not a rescue mission. This was a revelation mission. The reason that your savior is pois calm and collected walking on the water is because .

we trying to let them know that the thing that trying to overtake you, i'm actually walking over IT, the thing is about to take you out, is actually under my seat. I need you to look at me if I walking on. Topper, the thing that to change you is to let you know who has the real power, is to let you know who has the real authority, is to let you know who's a really in charge.

I wish I had somebody here that knew that my god has everything you struggle with under his fee. Cancer is under his diabetes is under his feet. Leg is under his feet.

He's got a soro. Don't you let them with in the way track you just because you're out of control? He's not out of control. He was proving to them by .

his walk that I have .

authority over. The thing is trying to take you wonder he's walking and is walking in their direction. He chooses strategically to walk in the fourth watch of the night.

When is so dark they can see later he's long going on the mountains. P and glow in the dark. This would have been a good time to glow in the dark. Jesus, he didn't.

They're drowning. And when they see him.

because they are so afraid, they're terrifying as the ghost, there's actually a legend that if you died at sea, that ghost would be walking to see and night. So they had enough evidence and stories to substantiate their fear, just like some of you are terrified because of the storm you're in right now. And here they come and they think he's a ghost.

They are scared to death. And in the mist of their fear, he speaks a word, first words out of jesus smell, take courage. IT is, I don't be afraid.

Take courage. IT is, I don't be afraid to take courage. IT is, I don't be afraid.

In the head time I preach to three week series, weak one, take courage. We two. IT is that we three. Don't be afraid.

All of those notice, he doesn't say.

have courage. He says, take courage. How do you know he wouldn't commended them to take courage if courage was not within their reach, if courage was not in their grass? Who am I preachers .

who they said the storm and you're scared to death right now? God telling you, take courage. I won.

Tell you to take IT if you want within your reach. Hold your head of pie, remind yourself of who your god is. He can walk time of the thing you want to take you over.

Take courage. Get your comment back, get your both this back. 看见。 Stop waiting for courage to just come to you through us. Moses.

every once around you, you got to fight and take IT. Take IT, take cook. Do you know how much courage .

i'm working in right now? I'm working in the matters no one. How much we got debate. How much you cost the rivet on like here? No.

I don't like that.

Yeah, let's move that. Well, what can we do here?

Yeah, take encourage. You can not take in a risk in a fave. Take courage, slap your your neighbor take courage, don't slap on. We only loss you can afford, right?

Oh, oh, oh, how long?

What you say next, IT.

is that they can .

see you and he says, take courage IT is I okay if I come to your house this afternoon and you don't got a ring camera and you've got a people in your door and i'm talking .

on your door like, who is IT I opened up in? Is that.

What do you say at home? Or I am trusting that you have heard my .

voice enough to .

know that I have to give you a night because you know my voice, my sheep know my voice, so you got ough history with me can know my voice is, is I you know who are here on the same one? That is.

This is. I don't want to is your store.

but I tell you as not as scary as you think. God always gives you just enough history to take a step.

They knew as voice, enough to know IT is, oh, I know that voice. I've heard that voice before, and some, you need to reflect on your history with god. If you open up the door before he'll open up a door again. If he made a way, we will china paper the make away for the look at that. I want to say that you get your history 好听 的 色。

IT is.

I don't .

be afraid, Peter, still convinced so he says, lord, well, sounds like you who, but still i'm not sure. Or if it's you, tell me to come on the water .

if it's you .

that .

if jacked me .

up because the last time I heard if. Was in the wilderness when seating himself says, if you are the son of god, turn these stones to break. If you just got, do this.

do this.

So I say, how long how the world is, say and say, and if, and Peter say that if is you low and I been going to speak to me and say, I understand the intent in the heart behind words, but there's a difference between if that is rooted in rebellion and wants me to perform, and and if that is rooted in little baby faith, this has god. I'd just need a little more confirmation, because this is scary right now, and i've never done this.

Peters, if was different. Peters, if was saying, god, I just need some confirmation to know, cannot take this thing. Peter, if was running towards god.

his if was told he is not away from, I don't know who this is for a little bit of faiths and that's why you say, if is you and look at cheese's, given the confirmation that Peter needed. Come, come, and I give you any more details. I just want you to come.

How do you know we, god, give you a word that all you need is word that he can have to fell IT out. He should said, come. And then come was a love for him to step out and saw walking on the water away when he walk the water. But when they walked on the world from guy.

just.

I know church people, can you see in the boat? Oh, here he go. IT.

Don't take on IT. Look, look at him. Look him for really, really, just look.

Always got to do the most. Look at him. Walk at all. Water problem with people who play a safe. If you play a safe, you're end up .

critical the people who are step out and trust, god, stop wasting your time for taken and go back to what cheese .

say he said.

come, he does say, computer, that is, every single one of them had an opportunity ity. You know, he could have this for simple, like he was with lazy, but they just said, come, everybody could.

step. Take IT off the go to stop, play in the shape and take a part, take the race.

take the rest.

Take the risk is knocking. Heart, be out of your chest, take the risk, because if he told you to calm, the power was in the commandment. So there he is walking, like many of us do. We take that .

step and he .

gets distracted. By the wind, this is a word for you in this season, for some of you then need to get off the boat .

and take the risk.

So you've got off the boat and you're walking. But hear me, keep your focus on there. Keep your eyes on at the moment Peter looked away.

So when he song, keep your eyes not on the wind that blows all kinds of things around. Keep your eyes on the steady one. Keep your eyes on the one as the same yesterday, today and forever. You know, my prayer for social baLance in our church that we would keep the main thing, the main thing that we wouldn't the right, we will keep our eyes on chases. Many took office lipped.

but even while .

he slept, at least he fell in the right place. How know how far he walked? I do know he got close enough.

And even when he failed, and he said, lord, save me, the hand of god was right there. We need to pick him up. Hear me. I want to call out to somebody who feels like you're drowned him and you've got distracted in your thinking. Here's the .

worst thing you can do. I, I, i'm good. I've saying people do not just .

thank god, Peter. Let go of every pretense and all of his prd as you went down one, say, me and mediately picked him up and telling you, your father loves you. And if you ever lift up your hands .

and save me, i've got destructed in this relationship. Save me, I got destructed away from our purpose. Say me got just about this addition, but I believe my face you will reach out your other, say.

Is a save. That's what he does. He saved him, picked to back a, he said, oh, you a little faith.

Why did you tell in a crazy with little faith? This stood, walked on water to chases. Can you imagine what big .

faith would do if a little .

faith can walk on water?

What could big faith do?

I'm thankful that is never .

about the size of your faith, is always about the object of your face. And IT is cheese .

when I never .

had be bed. And as close today, I don't know what storm you find yourself in. I meant to say this early, others, there are storms of this obedience.

What your decisions have got you in the store? As also storms of just a light, we live in a broken world. And then there are storms of obedience.

The reason you have the opposition. It's because of the word that god gave you. The reason is find you is because of what's on the other side. Don't go back to the shore.

I know that seems like .

IT would be easier to have the wind that you're back, but this is a safer that comes to you walking on top of the thing that's trying to take you wonder and he's calling .

you to leave the safety .

of the boat and take a step towards him. Most the last time you took a risk. Is that who we are there? I would rather be out there with the jesus and safe on the boat.

Heads about our clothes today. But if you in this room be so on, say, hey, pr, this messages for me, there's an area of my life I believe god called me to. Take a step of faith.

Been playing that too safe. I believe that there are people I got to speaking to you to take risk. For some of you is as simple as the risk joining .

a church community and .

actually fighting to have relationships, and the enemy wants you safe on the boats and and now but band that less hurt, hurt you in god has a way of using the church to heal church. Her, I know the enemy want you to think that isolation is what will protect you, but an action will leave you more lonely. Take the risk to find community.

Somebody else is taking the risk of leaving that safe job, because you look, how is calling you to something else. Someone is the risk of opening up your mouth and speaking up at your job and letting people know that god that you believe in and you serve. Stop trying to fit in.

Somebody else is with your finances. I am praying, you know, your passes or I am that this campaign that were and will give up opportunity for somebody who here, my god, a speaking to to do something significant, that that would be an opportunity that he reveals who I am to hold a shower. You will provider, I know that was scary when you took the risk, but I will promise you there's a blessing on the other side of that.

I am a living, breathing of taking with. You are sitting on the other side of a risk that we took when god gave us a word to plan a church. What is he saying to you heads about articles of issue? And you know what that thing is? Tell me you to take a step.

Would you just lift up your hand as a sign to say, no, if I want to take this to thank you? Jesus, yeah. Thank you later.

Thank you father. Thank you. That within the commitment to come forward is the enabled and the power to do IT father, every hand that lift. Help them to .

take courage and keep .

their eyes on you. Heads are still bows are still close. I want to be specific for those, you in this room and the watch party room who, so you know what to for me to respond today is to surrender my life to jesus.

Three, the most powerful words you can ever say is, lord, save me. You can act like you're not drown, and you can act like everything's okay. But there is a savior whose ARM is ready to pull you up the moment you say, save me.

So in this room, watch party room, somebody watching online on youtube, somebody watching on panda, if you be so hon, to say, hey, I need to surrender my life to jesus today that he would you just lift up your here and high enough and long enough to work and cy and say, toy's, they are given in my life. Come on, maybe there's a time you are walking with god. Your heart got cold and you walked away.

But even now you send him calling you, I say, hands going up in this room. Come on, even there in the watch part of room. We say at all the time.

Here is social. You can always come home. You can always come home.

I don't care what you'll past, but I don't care what you, dick to. This is a saving already to up. I don't care what some church person did to you.

Please don't perfect what a church person did onto the nature of our god. This is his character that any person that said, save me. He's there quickly. Left you up anybody else? This is not to embarrass you. I believe that this is your moment to take a step if you lifted up your hand, or you should have lifted up your hand in this room or in the watch party room.

When I came to three, I was going to ask you to be so bold and so brave and just come right here to 最好。 And unbelieving as you take that still is like you get out the safety of that chair and you're say, got on trusted for once a hand if you lifted up your hand when you shot. And I want you to come one, don't worry about what anybody else thinks to come on this for twice.

How far in the you GTA want? This is your day.

This is this. Come, come on, come on, come on. I'm taking a set. I know it's scary, but i'm taking a set.

I would rather me on the water with jesus that safe on the boat. I'll take in a self. I wish I had a church .

that was celebrate .

the courage, the risk.

Come on.

come on. Thank you. Thank you, thank you。 Thank you. Come on.

This is a big year.

Come on. Is worth the risk. Our promises .

the other side.

There's something on the other side. Anybody else? Come on, come on, come, come on.

Thank you. Just real, so just real so anybody else, anybody else?

看吧 看吧。

Thank you are .

thank you. good.

You just would you might close in your eyes. you.

Feel so strongly to tell you. That he sees you.

And now he felt like he wasn't on the boat. And maybe your hearts cry has bit where were you, but his eyes have never been all of you. This is you.

Are you when the people hurt you and treat you, value who you are this issue? The fact that you're still here in your life is proof that the storm did not destined you, and he still has a purpose. He still has a plan for your life.

This is a wonderful .

savior for .

the moment that we call out to him as a hand reaches the .

bible immediately.

As soon as Peter fit to say, and do IT say me, his hand was already there to lift them up. The same savior is here today. So I just wanted lead you in this prayer.

I am going to give you the words. You just say IT from your heart factness i'll saying that as one big family in this room, in the wash party room with you say you say jesus. Save me.

Or I need you. Without you have a trial in my sin. Jesus.

I thank you for.

Leaving, have a coming to earth to live the life that I was supposed to live. For dying .

the death I .

was supposed to time. You love me so much, you took my place, so my response should to give you everything. Or give me a min. Make me brand no from this moment.
