Lost in Translation (5 of 5)
Series: Unsinkable

Matthew 14:23-33
AYK – We’ve been in a series entitled, Unsinkable, studying the time when Peter walked on water – so that we can learn how to navigate the highs/lows of life thru exercising an unsinkable faith.
Each week, we’ve been learning an essential truth to help us to thrive in our faith. In week (1) we learned we must see Jesus for who He really is instead of settling for seeing Him only for who we want Him to be.

In week (3), we learned from the other 11 disciples that our calling, choices, and convictions are more vital than our comfort, conveniences, and circumstances. Then, in week (4) we learned how to turn our eyes from what is uncertain to focus them on what is certain.

Such was the case for the disciples. As a reminder, Jesus had been taking the (12) thru a lengthy process to help them to see Him for who He was instead of allowing them to see Him only for what they wanted Him to be. Remember, they were looking for a Messiah to save them from Rome. So, to teach them, Jesus sent them out in pairs in His power to minister and perform miracles in His name (but they missed it). After they returned, Jesus gave them a chance to apply their faith in Him by providing them w/ an opportunity to feed the 5,000 – and yet again, they missed Him – even though, they literally were holding the Bread of Life in their hands. So, Jesus set them afloat on the Sea o ...
