You've Got to Get Out of the Boat

Series: Christian: Noun or Verb?

July 14, 2024 | Guest Speaker

Christian: Noun or Verb? We hear Matthew tell the story of Jesus walking across the water to the disciples as they are fishing. Peter has to decide if he will stay safe in the boat, or get out of the boat and risk everything. In order to be a Christian, do we have to have a faith that will allow us to walk on water? Is that what Jesus is asking me to do? Or is there something else we are supposed to learn from this story. Is there a choice that is somewhere between staying safe and dry in the boat or walking on water?

Series Information

We begin a new series that will feature not only my voice, but the voices of five congregation members. A strong value of our church is empowering one another and hearing each other’s voices. We will live into that in July and August as we experience a worship series that is shaped and molded by five others. I have been blessed to hear their perspectives and reflections on our theme and I know you will too.
