Matthew 14:22-23
Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that
his disciples get back into the boat and
cross to the other side of the lake, while
he sent the people home. After sending
them home, he went up into the hills by
himself to pray. Night fell while he was
there alone.

Matthew 14:24-26
Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble
far away from land, for a strong wind
had risen, and they were fighting heavy
waves. About three o'clock in the
morning Jesus came toward them,
walking on the water. When the
disciples saw him walking on the water,
they were terrified. In their fear, they
cried out, "It's a ghost!"

Matthew 14:27-29
But Jesus spoke to them at once.
"Don't be afraid," he said. "Take
courage. I am here!" Then Peter called
to him, "Lord, if it's really you, tell me
to come to you, walking on the water."
"Yes, come," Jesus said. So Peter went
over the side of the boat and walked
on the water toward Jesus.

Matthew 14:30-31
But when he saw the strong wind
and the waves, he was terrified
and began to sink. "Save me,
Lord!" he shouted. Jesus
immediately reached out and
grabbed him. "You have so little
faith," Jesus said. "Why did you
doubt me?"

The
Essentials of
Faith

Faith is the Confidence that

what we Hope for Will
Actually Happen
Faith = Confidence x Hope
Faith = Assured things not
yet seen
Hope = Expecting to
Happen

Hebrews 11:1
Faith is the confidence
that what we hope for
will actually happen; it
gives us assurance about
things we cannot see.

Faith Makes You Fearless In

spite of Negative Situation
A.

Faith make
you go
forward, go
higher level

Philippians 3:13
No, dear brothers and sisters, I
have not achieved it, but I focus
on this one thing: Forgetting the
past and looking forward to
what lies ahead,

Faith Makes You Fearless In

Spite of Negative Situation
B. Faith make you
believe on spoken
word-of-God

Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing,
that is, hearing the Good
News about Christ.

Matthew 8:8-10
But the officer said, "Lord, I am not worthy to have
you come into my home. Just say the word from
where you are, and my servant will be healed. I
know this because I am under the authority of my
superior officers, and I have authority over my
soldiers. I only need to say, 'Go,' and they go, or
'Come,' and they come. And if I say to my slaves,
'Do this,' they do it." When Jesus heard this, he
was amazed. Turning to those who were following
him, he said, "I tell you the truth, I haven't seen
faith like this in all Israel!

Fearless Faith keeps you

Growing even Though How
Small You Are
A.

Be a Faith
Mover

Matthew 17:20
"You don't have enough faith," Jesus
told them. "I tell you the truth, if you
had faith even as small as a mustard
seed, you could say to this mountain,
'Move from here to there,' and it
would move. Nothing would be
impossible."

Perfect Faith Make Us Run

With Endurance
Hebrews 12:1-2
A.

Let us remove all

Extra LOAD

B.

Let us remove all

Worries

Therefore, since we are surrounded by

such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life
of faith, let us strip off every weight that
slows us down, especially the sin that so
easily trips us up. And let us run with
endurance the race God has set before us.
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus,
the champion who initiates and perfects
our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him,
he endured the cross, disregarding its
shame. Now he is seated in the place of
honor beside God's throne.
