WOW in 2011 (Walk on Water in 2011) - Matthew 14:28-31
Three things we can learn from Peter who walked on water two thousand years ago. Three things we can also apply to our lives this year as we WOW in 2011!
1. God’s will – Peter asked for God’s will and waited for God’s answer.
v. 28 - “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
v. 29 - “Come,” he said.
Be Sensitive – This year, waiting on God and knowing Him intimately should be one’s priority.
2. Total Obedience – Peter got out of the boat without thinking twice
v. 29b - Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
Be Surrendered – Learn to fully obey the Lord no matter what situation you will be in this year
3. Focus on Jesus – Peter looked at the wind and the wave, that’s why he begun to sink.
v. 30 - But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
v. 31 - Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
Be a Surfer (The wind and the wave are there for your advantage) – As you continue to fix your eyes on Jesus, use the challenges and obstacles this year to reach greater heights.
