Sermon: Jesus Overcomes Our Fears | Matthew 14:22-33

Christians live by faith, overcoming doubt.

Full of bravado, Peter accepted Jesus' invitation to walk on the water of the Sea of Galilee.  His faith was not strong enough to overcome his doubts, however, and he began to sink.  As he did for Peter, Jesus strengthens our faith and leads us to overcome our doubts with his power and promises.  

Prayer:

Almighty and most merciful God, preserve us from all harm and danger that we, being ready in both body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish what you want done; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  Amen.
