Matthew 14:22-36 (Command Me to Come to You)

Pastor Sam teaches about being like Jesus and advancing God's kingdom, using examples of reluctant yet impactful leaders like the confessing church in Nazi Germany. He emphasizes the need to spend time alone with God to receive His power before serving others and highlights the story of Jesus walking on water to illustrate faith and focus on God. The key message is about trusting in God's ability rather than our own, giving a radical yes to His call, and staying focused on Him amidst challenges. The sermon calls for reflection on God's specific calling, prioritizing solitude and prayer, having faith in a great God, and saying yes to His work.
