Water Walkers
Donald Cantrell
Matthew 14: 22, 24 - 31
None of us are going to literally walk upon water, if you think you can try it and get back with me. Peter became a ''water walker'' because he was willing to trust the Lord and walk right over the situation he was facing. Many of our readers or listeners need to get out of the boat that has them confined and begin to ''walk upon water.'' Jesus wants to help us overcome the storms, the struggles, and the situations of life.
I - Worrying over the Storms of Life (22, 24)
II - Wrestling over the Strangeness of Life (25 - 27)
III - Walking over the Situations of Life (28 - 29)
IV - Winning over the Submersions of Life (30 - 31)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points.
Theme: ''Jesus invites us to be ''water walkers'' will you try it?''
Brian Simo is a race car driver, and most of you have probably never heard of him. However there is one thing about him with which you are probably familiar. In 1985 he created the ''No Fear'' clothing line and found an idea that appealed to many Americans.
We have a lot of respect for bravery and for those who are willing to take challenging risks. But when does ''No Fear'' really mean ''Darn Fool''?
Last week a woman fell to her death on a very steep day hike at Yosemite National Park. The hike does not require any special expertise, but it is challenging, and it should never be attempted if there is any chance of rain. The granite dome becomes very slick and dangerous in rainy weather. Still many hikers attempt the climb ill-prepared, over confident of their skills and of the weather conditions.
Today's Gospel lesson teaches us that ''No Fear'' is not just a decal or a T-shirt. It is not just a spirited hope of getting lucky. It is not at all about taking foolish risks. The real ''No Fear'' lifestyle is found in those, who like the Apostle Peter would say to Jesus, ''Lord, save me!''
