Pastor Gail Whitcome Linstrom – “Walking with Jesus – On Land and Water” – Verdugo Community Church June 2, 2024

Pastor Gail in her sermon, “Walking with Jesus – On Land and Water,” looks at Matthew 14 with the story of Jesus, and for a short time Peter, walking on the water. Jesus had just fed 5,000, and told his disciples to cross the Sea of Galilee without him. They obeyed, but encountered a life-threatening storm. Jesus then appears to them, walking on the water. Peter asks and is allowed to walk on the water toward Jesus, but sees the storm and begins to sink and has to be rescued by Jesus, who chides him for a lack of faith. When they get in the boat, the storm is stilled, and the disciples realize Jesus truly is the Son of God. We, too, are disciples of Jesus, like those in the story. Jesus asks us to step out in faith and promises that he will be with us and help us as we journey with him.
