Fourth Watch of the Night

Sunday Service: September 7, 2025 • Pastor Q Kim at HOPE Church in Clarksville, MD --- In this sermon, PQ shares how God repeatedly woke him at 3 a.m.—the “fourth watch of the night”—prompting deep prayer and reflection. He shifts from his planned message in Acts to Matthew 14:22–33, where Jesus walks on water during the fourth watch. PQ emphasizes that this passage is not primarily about Peter walking on water or handling life’s storms, but about recognizing Jesus as the Son of God who sees, cares, and comes to us in our struggle. Even when the disciples were obeying Jesus, they still faced hardship, revealing that difficulty can be part of God’s perfect plan. Ultimately, the story leads to worship, as the disciples finally recognize and declare Jesus as the Son of God, showing that God’s greater purpose in our trials is deeper revelation of who He truly is.
