The Divine Story of Jesus and You: All Is Well

Sermon Quick Summary

      The scripture text for today is from Matthew 14:22-33. In our scripture sermon text, Jesus taught about the miracle of Jesus walking on water, Peter following Jesus on the water, and the eleven disciples who through fear of the storm did not get out of the boat. Jesus taught this lesson on what it is like to live in fear of the environment and storms of life. While following God’s guidance, it is still possible to encounter storms. Jesus sees us, and Jesus challenges our fears. A misunderstanding of our reality can fill our hearts with fear. Three things we can do to keep our hearts from fearful torment: (1) Acknowledge and name your fears. (2) Examine your assumptions based on fear, in the light of the facts. (3) Attack your anxiety with positive action. There is the power of courage in prayer and trusting that God is with us, despite difficult circumstances around us. As we chase fears away and trust God with us, all is well!
