Fear Not? We Can’t Help It!  Click here Click title to view sermon Reading: Matthew 14: 22–33
Summary: 

What’s in a word? Though some translations suggest the apostles were afraid that they were seeing a ghost, what really caused them to fear was they knew they were encountering the divine!

Out to Sea  Click here Click title to view sermon Reading: Matthew 14: 22–33
Summary: Matthew, Mark and John all tell the story of Jesus walking on the water, but Matthew includes details the other two gospeleers do not. Those details help us to hear the message that rather than attempting to walk away from our problems, we are better to ask Christ to join us in our shaky crafts, trusting him to sail the rest of the journey with us, and to eventually land us safe on heaven’s shore.
