Faith, Submission, and Obedience

In this message, we read Matthew 14:22-36 which tells the story of Jesus walking on water and Peter’s act of faith, submission and obedience. We are encouraged to think about the difference between the results of desire, ambition, and effort and the results that faith, submission, and obedience produce in the same scenario. The results of acting in faith, submission and obedience include: the ability to exercise faith, the possibility of doubt and rebuke, and moving Jesus to responsibility for the outcome.
