Peter's Walk With God
From Wednesday Night Bible Study
Study on "Walking With God", contrasting Old and New Testament teachings, focusing on Matthew 14, Peter's water walk, faith, Jesus' solitude, disciples' storm experiences, and the importance of prayer and trust. It highlights Peter's bold faith, his sinking, Jesus' strategic retreat from Pharisees, and the disciples' past experiences, underscoring faith's sufficiency and Jesus's role.
- Peter walking on water, Jesus feeding the 5000, Prayer, Faith
The discussion examines Matthew 14, where Peter walks on water following Jesus feeding 5000, emphasizing faith, Jesus' need for solitude, and the Holy Spirit's guidance. It highlights the disciples' storm experience, Peter's bold faith, and his moment of doubt amidst the storm. The narrative also touches on Jesus' strategic retreat to avoid the Pharisees and underscores the importance of prayer and trust in God's presence during challenges, as illustrated by Peter's water walk. - Faith, Jesus, Storm, Connection
The discourse examines Peter's water-walking towards Jesus, his sinking from distraction, and rescue, illustrating faith's dynamics. Jesus's saving act, despite Peter's minimal faith, and the disciples' worship after witnessing Jesus calm the storm, underscore faith's power and Jesus's divinity. The speaker references the disciples' past experiences, like the feeding of the 5000, to highlight their ongoing faith journey and Jesus's role in enhancing it. The narrative connects to broader themes of faith's sufficiency, the importance of Jesus's presence in overcoming challenges, and the anticipation of future lessons on walking with Jesus.
