The Water Awaits by Sam Berensohn

October 29, 2023

Sermon summary:

  1. Leave your boats. Peter left behind security, comfort, what is logical, and made a statement of trust. He left behind physical and emotional safety, and security of people. It's easier to do what's not logical/crazy when you have someone with you/safety in numbers. We have to answer the same questions to follow Jesus. You may be physically/socially isolated when you stand up for your faith. Romans 12:2 

Have you left your boats/do you know what they are? 

What do you protect in your life? What happens when you leave your boat? You walk on water.

Matthew 14:28–34 How does God work through me, no matter who I am? The potential of what God can do when you get out is greater than staying in the boat.

2. The Son in the storm. The storm distorts what we see when we look at Jesus, the scriptures don't sound the same as they used to; the lack if him answering your prayers.


Maybe we don't need five points to know how to change, but only to see when we call out to Jesus, he is there immediately.


Watch the full service here (the sermon starts at 1:00).

To embrace Jesus's mission, I must first clothe myself with Jesus and have his character formed in me. He must become greater, I must become less. Then I"ll be able to do as Jesus did. God's grace is with me. We need each other. Grace is a gift.

My Story, His Glory. God wants to glorify himself through our lives and always shows up when least expected. As his followers, he entrusts his flock to us. He expects us to care for one another, build one another up, eradicate gossip and slander from our lives and forgive one another.

The world longs to see our Father, and he wants to use us to show what goodness looks like. Our role is to become more like Jesus and to love him, become more like him, and intercede for people.
