Sermon
Good Morning Church!
I was glad when they said to me let us go and worship in the house of the Lord!
There is an apocryphal story that I really love about some pastor somewhere.
In this story the Pastor has a passion to preach the gospel.
SO week after week, Sunday after Sunday this pastor is faithfully preaching the Gospel to his People, he is proclaiming the life death Resurrection and ascension of Christ.
He is proclaiming the completed work of the cross and the weight and value of that in the lives of all hearts that would receive it, he was preaching the GOSPEL.
And one Sunday he was approached by some member of his congregation.
“We love you pastor, but just so you know, we are all Christians here, we have moved past the gospel and need some more mature teaching.”
and the pastor responds: “If you really think that, then I must preach the Gospel even more”.
For we never move past needing these precious truths in out hearts and souls minds and lives!
I bring this up because if we have the wrong attitude towards Matthew, we are in danger of sounding a lot like this congregant.
OK Matthew, we get it.
Jesus performed ANOTHER incredible miracle, Jesus spoke in ANOTHER parable, Jesus healed another person, he taught again, we get it!
But each and every miracle, each and every parable, each and every thing that Matthew included into his Gospel is important.
He put it here under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it is given to us as a gift, it is part of what we have been given so that we have “all that we need for life and Godliness”.
So yes, we are looking at ANOTHER miracle, and this one is another one that you have heard before, you are familiar with it, but it is important!
So with that being said lets read our passage for today, Matthew 14:22-33, Jesus walking on water
These are the words of the Lord for us this morning!
Lets begin with a word of Prayer!
PRAY
It tells us about CHRIST
Who he IS
What he deserves
THEN
It tells us about US
the nature of LIFE
The nature of FAITH
