Out to Sea  Click here Click title to view sermon 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.

Peter, the Church, and the “If” that Sinks Us  Click here Click title to view sermon Matthew 14: 22–33
Summary:  This story is not a newspaper account of “An Incident on the Sea of Galilee,” but a symbolic tale that offers us a truth about what it is to be the church in a world of little faith that nevertheless longs for the presence of God.

Fear Not? We Can’t Help It!  Click here Click title to view sermon 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! How can we know that? This is the first spot in the Gospel of Matthew where a human being proclaims Jesus as the Son of God! We can call on Jesus and expect help, because truly, he is the Son of God!

We Should Have Known Better  Click here Click title to view sermon Matthew 14: 22–33
Summary: Often, we act against what our best thinking tells and inner certainties tell us. Then, when things go wrong, we say, “I should have known better.” We can begin to sink under the weight of such circumstances, but Jesus reaches out to us. We need to take his hand.

Which Faith Is Yours?  Click here Click title to view sermon Matthew 14: 22–33
Summary: What we see in this story of Peter’s adventure on the open water is one expression of faith, in a chapter out of the life and ministry of Jesus that shows us a number of varieties of faith, expressed in different ways. The primary exemplar of a true and living faith is Jesus. It is to his example, above all others, that we are to look as our guiding light.
