This past weekend, we completed the Free* series with a celebration and a reminder.
I invite you to reread the story Jonathan used in the message this past weekend. You can find it in Matthew 14:22-33. Here are the verses I wanted to focus on.
Matthew 14
28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”
29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
So many of you, through this Free series, have begun to walk toward Jesus. You have experienced something you thought was impossible ... freedom from fear or bitterness or rejection. Keep your eyes on Jesus. When you are tempted to look at the “wind and the waves” (the lies you once bought into), resist the enemy and keep walking toward Jesus. If you happen to slip, ask Jesus to pick you up and start walking again. This was never intended to just be a six-week experience. It is an invitation to reengage in a journey that will take a lifetime.
