When Fear Meets Faith (1 of 6)
Series: Believing in God - Expecting Miracles

Exodus 14:1-31
Turn to Exodus chapter 14. We're going to be in chapter 13 and 14 today discussing this subject: "When Fear Meets Faith."

Jesus said, "Be it done to you according to your faith." Faith is believing God, believing him enough to let go. You think in the Bible the people that experience the miracles of God. They had to take a step of faith. They had to believe him enough to let go. Peter had to believe God enough to let go of the boat, and then he experienced a miracle of walking on the water. The man with the withered hand that we read about in the gospels, Jesus told him, "Stretch forth your hand." His hand was all withered and he had never stretched forth his hand. And Jesus said, "Do it! Stretch forth your hand." And he believ ...
