INTRODUCTION: SERIES: FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR, BUT FAITH IS!
YOUR FAITH IS UNDER A TEST!


MATTHEW 14:22-33


22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his
disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of
the lake, while he sent the people home. 23 After sending
them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night
fell while he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the disciples
were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen,
and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o’clock
in the morning[a] Jesus came toward them, walking on the
water.  26 When the disciples saw him walking on the
water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s
a ghost!” 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be
afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” 28 Then Peter
called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you,
walking on the water.” 29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So
Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water
toward Jesus.  30 But when he saw the strong[c] wind
and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me,
Lord!” he shouted. 31 Jesus immediately reached out and
grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you
doubt me?” 32 When they climbed back into the boat, the
wind stopped.  33 Then the disciples worshiped him.
“You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed."

In 2022, God is going to take us on a journey like never
before…get ready, get ready, get ready. But don’t worry, don’t be
afraid, don’t fear, because Jesus has prayed for you. 

God Will Only Lead You, As Far As Your Faith Will Take You! God
is not asking us to do what we can, He is asking us to trust in
Him to do through us what we can’t do.
Peter displayed REAL FAITH- He Believed, Asked, and he Obeyed.
The result was that Jesus gave Peter the ability to walk on
water.

Some things in life will frighten us, but those are the times we
have to walk in faith and not by sight. Don't allow the problems
of this world to distract us from the source of our power and
please be careful to not become so busy that we walk away from
the purpose Christ has for our lives.

If you haven’t seen God working miracles in your life lately it
could be because you haven't asked Him, obeyed Him, or believed
Him!


Hebrews 11:6-And it is impossible to please God without faith.
Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and
that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.


SCRIPTURES TO LIVE BY:


Job 42:2- “I know that you can do all things; no purpose
of yours can be thwarted.” 


Matthew 17:20-“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told
them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a
mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to
there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
