Pastor Gail Whitcome Linstrom – “Walking with Jesus – On Land and Water” – Verdugo Community Church August 13, 2023

n her sermon, “Walking With Jesus – On Land and Water,” Pastor Gail looks at the story of Jesus walking on the water in Matthew 14 to explore why we, like Peter, doubt that God will give us what we need to do what he wants us to do. Peter starts out walking on the water, then sees the waves and begins to sink. Jesus reaches out and pulls him back up, but chides him for his doubts. To doubt is a common human reaction to the unknown future. Instead of faith, we give way to fears about what might happen in the future instead of living in the present and seeing what God is doing. She invites us to walk with Jesus and to keep your eyes upon him—on land and water.
