Pastor Dave begins by emphasizing God's desire for us to do supernatural things, especially in challenging times. He recounts the story of Peter walking on water, highlighting that true faith involves asking God for direction and acting on His word, even amid storms. Pastor Dave stresses the importance of focusing on Jesus rather than the overwhelming circumstances surrounding us, explaining that fear can cause us to sink. Ultimately, he calls the congregation to respond to God's invitation, reminding them that Jesus is always ready to catch and save those who cry out for help.Matthew 14:22 22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.
