Through the Waters—Matthew 14:22-33

This sermon reflects on Jesus walking on water in Matthew 14, showing that true courage is not found in favorable circumstances or personal strength, but in trusting Jesus amid fear and uncertainty. Through Peter’s experience, it teaches that courage is a steady commitment to follow Jesus, even when faith falters, because Jesus comes to us, reveals Himself, calls us to be with Him, and saves us when we cry out. Ultimately, the message reminds believers that despite doubt and failure, Jesus never loses His grip on them, which is the true source of lasting courage.
