Lesson 2

Jesus allow his children to go out alone and experience storm tossed

trials come to us even if we obey him

Because He needed to teach them to trust Him and to obey His command no matter what happened to them.

They were doing what He had told them to do, so they could trust His care and His will. b. Because He needed to teach them to go about conquering the storms of life by using their own skill and strength.

They needed to learn to use all the gifts they had in struggling against the storms of life. He would step in only after they had done all they could.

Once their own strength and skill had been exhausted, the praise for salvation would go to God and His delivering power, not to man.

Faith needed even with previous miracles seen

Expectations Hurts

Preacher's Outline and Sermon Bible - Commentary - Matthew I.

He will appear to us in the midst and His presence is always that will matter

experiencing the presence of Christ

Even in the most untimely and unexpected hour in His time HIs time and He chooses the only thing we have certain is His presence.

He promised to be with us always through the Holy spirit

Lesson 4 come

WE can do great things for HIm as long as we have faith

But all of us are weak

We all have weak faith even Peter who just witnessed the Miracle that day

Peter's hope was stirred: he could be saved by Christ's presence.

He asked permission to join Christ. Peter's request was most unusual, and it has always baffled some persons.

We must picture the scene: the physical and mental exhaustion; the hours of struggle for survival against the storm; the fear that strikes when thoughts of death face a person for so many long and unbroken hours; the fright of seeing a real apparition; the state of shock from confronting so much. Peter thought he was dying.

A man in such a condition wants to be saved and delivered from danger. Peter knew Jesus, both His power and His love: "Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee [save me, get me out of this danger]." Peter was not thinking in terms of miracles.

His mind was too occupied for that. He was in a hopeless situation; he wanted to be saved. Note another point: Peter was not wanting to go to Christ because he loved Christ. He loved Christ, but right now his thoughts were on the love and power of Christ to save him.

Christ was his only hope for being saved from death. Christ's presence stirred Peter's hope: Christ could save him. 2.

Jesus' command was, "Come." The word is strong; Christ was not merely giving Peter permission to come; He was commanding Peter. When a person sees that Jesus is his salvation, the command is there: "Come." Preacher's Outline and Sermon Bible - Commentary - Matthew I.

Come can happen if we release and take a leap of faith

we too needs to increase our faith in Him

Even though we may drown in between He will be there

Balance

Faith and Contentment is related

Increase in faith
