"Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?” Matthew 14:31
As we wrapped up the "Abnormal" series, we were challenged with this thought - Whatever the next steps God is calling us to make, they will require faith. Whether you are taking steps toward being the wife you have envisioned for years, or the co-worker that really is an asset to the organization, or if you are taking a deep breath and leaning into Godly fatherhood in a way you never saw modeled for you, these steps require faith. They require faith not in ourselves, but faith in the God we follow. Of course we can’t do it alone, but with Christ all things are possible. Jesus asked Peter, "Why did you doubt me?" If we are hesitating with the steps in front of us because we feel inadequate and are afraid of failing, we are in good company. We are normal. The key to taking our next steps is KNOWING GOD and BELIEVING GOD. When we believe what we know about him, then we can act by taking the next steps.
Today Jesus is calling us to take the next steps. It’s normal for us to stay still and not take them. In fact that describes most people. The question is - Do I want to live a normal life...or an abnormal life? I know which life many of us have chosen...how about you?
The next couple of weeks are going to be great! We have some NEW things coming starting this Sunday. Take a look at the video link below for a preview of what we are doing from now until Easter.
We love you guys and can hardly wait to see you Sunday. We will be celebrating the goodness of God in our lives; we will be catching up with friends and we will be growing together around the Word of God.
Pastor Craig, Becky, Seth, Hannah and Riley the dog.
