Lessons in Faith: Walking on Water

Examine Peter's bold attempt to walk on water toward Jesus and the subsequent lesson in faith he learned. Discuss the importance of faith in leadership, taking risks for the sake of the gospel, and trusting in God's power even in the face of challenges.

Matthew 14:28-31 "And Peter answered him, 'Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.' He said, 'Come.' So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, 'Lord, save me.' Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, 'O you of little faith, why did you doubt?'"
