Scripture: Hebrews 13:7-21 (ESV)

Notes:

Sermon Topic: How Big Is Your Jesus?

Scripture: Matthew 14:22-33

Rev. Dave Bookless July 30, 2017

Scripture: Matthew 14:22-33 (NIV) 22

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other

side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23

After he had dismissed them, he went up on a

mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24

but the boat was

already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was

against it.

25

During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26

When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they

said, and cried out in fear.

27

But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

28

"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."

29

"Come," he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30

But

when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

31

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said,

"why did you doubt?"

32

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33

Then those who were in

the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
