About this episode

This sermon explores the courage to step out in faith and the struggle of doubt through the story of Peter walking on water.

Through the story of Peter walking on water, we see both the courage to step out in obedience and the very real struggle of doubt when we take our eyes off Christ and focus on the storms around us. This sermon explores how even “little faith” can lead to the impossible when it’s placed in the right person—Jesus, the One who walks on water, rules over chaos, and reaches out to save us when we begin to sink. Whether you feel stuck, afraid, or like you’re failing spiritually, this teaching will challenge you to trust God more deeply, step out of your comfort zone, and fix your eyes on Him.
