Matthew 14:22-36 - Walking on Water - Part 1

Introduction  -  Context:

1. Jesus has been presented and authenticated as the Messiah of God
2. The Jews have rejected Jesus and have demonized Him
3. But Jesus never stopped teaching and healing the crowds
4. He discovered that Herod has brutally beheaded his cousin and forerunner, John the Baptist and is devastated by the news
5. His first attempt to be alone was interrupted by the physical needs for food by 5,000 men – plus women and children!

In this passage, we find the disciples in the grip of a fierce storm on the Sea of Galilee.  A storm similar to the one they encountered in Matthew chapter 8.  A storm so violent that it left these weathered and experienced seamen in fear for their lives.

It’s a very strange and sometimes confusing place to be – in the will of God and in the midst of a storm, all at the same time!!

Have you ever found yourself in that place?

- Doing what you understand to be the will of God

- Facing the headwinds of a threatening crisis

I don’t know what kind of storm you might be facing today, but I do know that the Lord has a purpose in allowing that storm to rage in your life.
