Sermon Series: Missing PEACE
Sermon Title: "Heal My Anxious Mind"
Speaker: Andrew Webb

Matthew 14:22
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.

Matthew 14:23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,

Matthew 14:24
and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

Matthew 14:25
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

Matthew 14:26
When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.

Matthew 14:27
But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

Matthew 14:28
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."

Matthew 14:29
"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Matthew 14:30
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

Matthew 14:31
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

Matthew 14:32
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.

Matthew 14:33
Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
