This sermon calls us to live faith filled lives of adventure listening to God speaking and acting upon it. This is what we see in demonstrated in Peter’s life.
Firstly, God calls Peter to be a disciple, not merely an observer. Peter see’s Jesus walking on the water and is called to imitate this. Secondly. Peter is able to walk on water and continue doing so because he understood what God could do through him. He begins to sink when he looks within his own capabilities. Thirdly, Peter was able to enjoy this amazing experience because unlike the other disciples he took action by stepping out of the boat. Finally, this amazing adventure was a catalyst for Peter, to expect the extraordinary when you step out of comfort of the boat in obedience to God.
Lord, help us to learn from Peter, stepping out of the comfort of boats we may be in today, trusting you will provide the faith and strength for us to do so.
