The King & His Kingdom: #72 - Walking On Water | Matthew 14:22-36

Jarek Berga - May 25th 2025 When self-effort sinks, grace takes hold.As we continue our series The King & His Kingdom through the Gospel of Matthew, we come to Matthew 14:22–33—where the disciples are caught in a storm, rowing through the night, and Peter steps out of the boat, only to lose confidence and begin to sink. This sermon explores what it means to follow Jesus through exhaustion, fear, doubt, and weakness—and what happens when we realize we can’t make it on our own. The good news? Jesus still reaches out. He still saves. He’s still Lord over the chaos.
