Title: Peter Walking on Water

Matthew 14:22-32

22  Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.  23  After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,  24  and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25  Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.  26  When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27  But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28  “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29  “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.  30  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “Why did you doubt?” 32  And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.  33  Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Matthew 4:18-20

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting their nets into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come follow me,” Jesus said,” and I will send you to fish for people. At once they left their nets behind and followed him.

Hebrews 11:1-2

11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.  2  This is what the ancients were commended for.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Matthew 6:18

18  And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Matthew 26:40

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.
