Here life principle that you will never escape; Jesus came and you got blessed. Jesus died and you got blessed. Jesus sacrificed and you got blessed. Jesus suffered and you got blessed. The real, real is this; now it’s our turn to sacrifice so someone else may be blessed. Genesis 12:2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. My challenge to you today is to be a water walker. Matthew 14:22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” 28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” 1. Water walkers, like Peter, are moved by seeing the greatness of Jesus. 2. Water walkers, like Peter, are inspired to do things that seem daring, unusual uncomfortable and maybe even makes no sense. 3. Water walkers, like Peter, take steps that totally depend upon Jesus being Jesus. When I look at Riverside Church there are four big areas that we want to be really good in. 1. Big church – that everything that happens on the weekends. 2. Kids church – that is everything that we do for those who are not yet adults. 3. Little church – that is the area of connecting people into life groups. 4. Outside church – that is outreach into the community. Every one of these areas depends upon people to serve. 4. Water walkers, like Peter, need saving from time to time. Peter messed up the miracle! 5. Water walkers, like Peter, don’t get the glory – Jesus does. At the end of this whole scenario nobody was saying, “Peter, you are amazing” but they were saying, “Jesus, you are amazing.” And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
