Get Out of the Boat--Matthew 14:22-36
Jun 22, 2017
Rev. Todd Hallman
Jesus tells us to "Come" to Him. The disciples all left their comfort zones, their ordinary lives, and were transformed by Jesus. Peter asked to come out on the water and walk to Jesus. As long as he focused his attention on Christ--he succeeded. When he focused on the conventional wisdom and the circumstances of his situation he began to sink. But even though he sank, he was still willing to get out of the boat. So many Christians sit comfortably following Jesus, when he is calling the Church to "Come" to Him. We must get out of our "boat." We must leave our comfortability and follow Him.
