- 00:01:46long I appreciate
- 00:01:48it anyway I want us to all start on a
- 00:01:51baseline when it comes to this
- 00:01:53conversation of trust in order to do
- 00:01:55that we we have to admit something
- 00:01:57everybody with me all together repeat I
- 00:02:01I have have trust trust issues issues
- 00:02:07don't look at the person next to you
- 00:02:08we'll figure this
- 00:02:09out we all have trust issues right even
- 00:02:13people who say I don't have trust issues
- 00:02:15will have some version of a trust issue
- 00:02:18right trust issues derive from negative
- 00:02:23experiences right I was at a a a chain
- 00:02:26restaurant I was eating my chicken
- 00:02:29nuggies all you figure out which one it
- 00:02:30is cuz they all serve them at this point
- 00:02:32and I'm not trying to defame anybody but
- 00:02:35but I bit into a chicken nugget that
- 00:02:37wasn't fully
- 00:02:39cooked and now I can no longer eat there
- 00:02:42right I have trust issues with that
- 00:02:44specific place maybe some of y'all
- 00:02:46growing up you were spoonfed or forced
- 00:02:48to eat your peas and now you can't eat
- 00:02:50peas I feel
- 00:02:52you I feel you trust issues can be small
- 00:02:56or they can be massive some of us have
- 00:02:59experienced a abandonment some of us
- 00:03:01have struggled with trauma situations in
- 00:03:04our lives even when you study infants in
- 00:03:07trauma they carry it with them it's
- 00:03:09absolutely mindblowing to me that you
- 00:03:12can experience trust issues before you
- 00:03:14can even talk about your trust
- 00:03:17issues it can be crazy what trust can do
- 00:03:21maybe you've had somebody betray you and
- 00:03:24you struggled in that
- 00:03:26relationship maybe for you you had a a
- 00:03:28bad dating EXP experience and uh that
- 00:03:31left you with what we like to call some
- 00:03:34baggage and that baggage is trust issues
- 00:03:38we take those experiences those negative
- 00:03:40experiences we carry them with us into
- 00:03:43the next experience and that's why I
- 00:03:46found it odd when we were doing the clap
- 00:03:48the second time we did it when we went
- 00:03:50here y'all were
- 00:03:51like you were hesitant in our negative
- 00:03:55experience when we go into it again we
- 00:03:58will hesitate we will struggle there
- 00:04:00will be issues as we try to walk into
- 00:04:03something that we've already experienced
- 00:04:05trauma or Brokenness in maybe for you
- 00:04:09it's control
- 00:04:11issues even something like
- 00:04:15suspicion where you don't trust
- 00:04:17somebody I work in student Ministry and
- 00:04:20they talk a lot about things I
- 00:04:22don't understand and I'm always
- 00:04:25suspicious as to what they're doing or
- 00:04:27why they're saying what they're saying
- 00:04:28cuz they're speaking in a a foreign
- 00:04:30language to me and I live in it every
- 00:04:32day it's Unique but we all have trust
- 00:04:37issues even if in this room let's say
- 00:04:40you're the person congratulations you've
- 00:04:41made it you have zero trust issues in
- 00:04:44your life you are going to go into your
- 00:04:47workplace or into your home or in a
- 00:04:51world of people around you that are
- 00:04:53still experiencing trust issues which is
- 00:04:56going to cause you to have to deal and
- 00:04:59relate with and work with people who
- 00:05:02have trust
- 00:05:05issues and all of this is great it's
- 00:05:07like a noun right we're dealing with
- 00:05:09persons or places or things but let's
- 00:05:12make it centered on this conversation of
- 00:05:14trusting God where do I where do you and
- 00:05:18I struggle to fully trust
- 00:05:22God where do you struggle think about it
- 00:05:24what are some of the reasons why you
- 00:05:27hesitate in certain places or spaces in
- 00:05:30your relationship with
- 00:05:31God maybe you prayed for something you
- 00:05:34were intentional to try to step into
- 00:05:36something and you felt alone in that
- 00:05:38moment because you didn't feel like you
- 00:05:39got the answer you wanted maybe for you
- 00:05:42it's seeing the world and its Brokenness
- 00:05:44and watching the people around you
- 00:05:46fumble or fail even you joining into
- 00:05:49some of that fumbling and failing God
- 00:05:52where are you in these moments maybe
- 00:05:54you've lost someone close maybe you've
- 00:05:57even been through some church
- 00:06:00drama and the church has not been kind
- 00:06:03through those conversations look this is
- 00:06:05a messy place all of us are in different
- 00:06:08places in how we understand and interact
- 00:06:11with God and some of us are going to be
- 00:06:15uh it's just messy y'all it's going to
- 00:06:17be that way right and that's okay it's
- 00:06:21okay you and another person even another
- 00:06:23Christian don't necessarily have to be
- 00:06:24on the same page outside of
- 00:06:26understanding that Jesus is
- 00:06:30Lord and we work through that
- 00:06:32conversation we all at some point will
- 00:06:35struggle with with God when it comes to
- 00:06:37this idea of trust and and and it and it
- 00:06:40it continues to
- 00:06:42to what's even the word it just keeps
- 00:06:46going and going and going and going and
- 00:06:47going it's like the Energizer Bunny old
- 00:06:49school commercials but for us in this
- 00:06:52world of trust we we've try to figure it
- 00:06:54out and I found it unique because as I'm
- 00:06:57having this conversation about trust
- 00:06:59I've got Define the word right all of us
- 00:07:01have to at some point figure out what
- 00:07:02does the word trust break down to how
- 00:07:05would you explain to somebody else what
- 00:07:07the word trust means and I started
- 00:07:09digging into this and I didn't have to
- 00:07:11go very far to find out why this word is
- 00:07:13so difficult to Define so I went into a
- 00:07:18couple of different books I find that a
- 00:07:20lot of leadership books talk about trust
- 00:07:22uniquely so in John Maxwell's 21
- 00:07:25irrefutable laws of effective leadership
- 00:07:28he has the three C's which are
- 00:07:30competency character and connection all
- 00:07:32big words I'm still
- 00:07:34learning in another book rise up a
- 00:07:37leadership habits for turbulent times
- 00:07:39they have the five C's so they take two
- 00:07:41of the three that are there and they add
- 00:07:43three more to those with care
- 00:07:45communication and consistency horger
- 00:07:49book trust uh trusted leader has eight
- 00:07:52pillars and he uses a couple of those
- 00:07:55words and then adds a few more with
- 00:07:57commitment contribution clarity and
- 00:08:00compassion further study brought me to
- 00:08:02the five Dimensions now there are
- 00:08:04dimensions of
- 00:08:06trust and those included three different
- 00:08:09words of Integrity loyalty and openness
- 00:08:12and if you want to grow it all in your
- 00:08:14core habits or your core trusting
- 00:08:16abilities if you want to build the
- 00:08:18building blocks of trust in your life
- 00:08:20you have to have positive relationships
- 00:08:23and good judgment on on top of that all
- 00:08:26together you have 15 words SL phras
- 00:08:29phrases that Define the word trust yes
- 00:08:34it's hard to figure out that's why as as
- 00:08:37as a parent right that's why as a parent
- 00:08:39when a when a kid breaks my trust when
- 00:08:41my child breaks my trust it's not easy
- 00:08:44for them to regain it's really easy for
- 00:08:46them to lose it but then I have to find
- 00:08:49in these 15 ways that have been
- 00:08:51defined where they broke it so that I
- 00:08:54can focus on helping them regain it so
- 00:08:57if they're struggling with communication
- 00:09:00and and they break my trust because they
- 00:09:02didn't communicate something that they
- 00:09:03were doing I then have to approach the
- 00:09:06word of trust or trust building trying
- 00:09:09to fix communication if I try to fix it
- 00:09:11with Clarity or Compassion or good
- 00:09:14judgment it's not going to work you have
- 00:09:16to approach it with the issue and the
- 00:09:18area by which it's been
- 00:09:21broken so here we are defining
- 00:09:24trust I gave you 15 words and phrases to
- 00:09:27try to help clarify what the word trust
- 00:09:30means and I feel like all I've done in
- 00:09:32this room has made us a little bit more
- 00:09:34confused about what this word
- 00:09:37means
- 00:09:39so in this conversation I decided I
- 00:09:42would look other places to find where
- 00:09:44this definition could be and go figure
- 00:09:47Webster's Dictionary has one too and it
- 00:09:49just happened to be close so I used it
- 00:09:52but I edited it a smidge so Webster says
- 00:09:56to believe in the reliability
- 00:10:00the truth the ability or the strength of
- 00:10:04and they would have said something or
- 00:10:06someone I just eliminated that and put
- 00:10:10Jesus to believe in it starts trust with
- 00:10:14believe it starts with
- 00:10:16believing believing in the reliability
- 00:10:19the truth the ability and the strength
- 00:10:21of
- 00:10:23Jesus we'll do a quick dive on this a
- 00:10:25little bit later but we have to
- 00:10:28understand something healthy
- 00:10:32relationships healthy relationships
- 00:10:34depend on trust you cannot have a
- 00:10:37healthy relationship in your life one
- 00:10:39that is good one that is solid one that
- 00:10:41where your friends and the people around
- 00:10:43you have your back and yet it's toxic
- 00:10:47doesn't work that way it's got holes in
- 00:10:50it or there are situations that you
- 00:10:51can't that's why and you know I love I
- 00:10:54love my family but but that's why like
- 00:10:56you talk to my spouse and we are we're
- 00:10:59good but there's always going to be some
- 00:11:01margin of like distance because we're
- 00:11:04two different people or you go a little
- 00:11:06bit further and there's the in-laws
- 00:11:08we're just not going to talk about the
- 00:11:09trust issues with in
- 00:11:13in-laws but what we are going to talk
- 00:11:15about is a Biblical understanding
- 00:11:18looking at this idea of reliability
- 00:11:20truth ability and strength of as we try
- 00:11:22to relentlessly pursue this idea of
- 00:11:25trusting God so if you have a Bible I
- 00:11:28want you to open it up to m Matthew
- 00:11:29chapter 14 Matthew chapter 14 and I'm
- 00:11:32going to pause here with our middle
- 00:11:34school and our high school students
- 00:11:35we'll actually pause we want them to
- 00:11:36learn how to navigate the Bible it's an
- 00:11:38important skill encourage you guys if
- 00:11:40you have a Bible on you it will be on
- 00:11:42the screens but at the same time if You'
- 00:11:44got one open it up dig
- 00:11:46in take some notes have some fun with it
- 00:11:50Matthew chapter 14 we're going to be in
- 00:11:52verses 22 to 32 keep it open there we're
- 00:11:54going to be talking about it the
- 00:11:55majority of this conversation today
- 00:12:00I was in
- 00:12:02uh last Sunday when the snow started
- 00:12:04coming down right so uh I was
- 00:12:07in Kroger trying to get food for four
- 00:12:13boys that like to eat us out of the
- 00:12:16house um which often requires us like in
- 00:12:19a pinch to get a bunch of mini pizzas I
- 00:12:21have a freezer full of mini pizzas I'm
- 00:12:25like the cool dad I think that's not
- 00:12:27what the cool dad is just clarify
- 00:12:30but I'm in this store and when you go in
- 00:12:31on a day like it almost brought me back
- 00:12:33to those covid days where you would go
- 00:12:35in and the store almost felt empty there
- 00:12:37was no milk I was like oh gosh this is
- 00:12:40going to be real fun for four boys and
- 00:12:42no milk in the house and I I I I grabbed
- 00:12:45six cheese pizzas and six pepperoni
- 00:12:48pizzas I put them in my cart and the
- 00:12:50moment I did that the person behind me
- 00:12:53immediately was like oh you're one of
- 00:12:55those people
- 00:12:59I I help me clarify for what is one of
- 00:13:01those people what are you who who are
- 00:13:03you I don't know what you're labeling me
- 00:13:04as but I would prefer to know what the
- 00:13:05label is help me understand well you you
- 00:13:08know you're you're you're supplying
- 00:13:09you're storing up supplies for this
- 00:13:11crazy storm I was like no I just got
- 00:13:14four boys at home these will go in like
- 00:13:15four days this gone in four days like
- 00:13:19oh that makes more sense and as we're
- 00:13:22having this conversation all of a sudden
- 00:13:25what somebody
- 00:13:26assumed I was able to bring clarity
- 00:13:29and that was one of the words Clarity
- 00:13:31built trust then we had an open
- 00:13:34conversation about having four boys and
- 00:13:36what four boys looks like in the chaos
- 00:13:37of four boys there are simple easy ways
- 00:13:41to build trust and you're going to find
- 00:13:42as we dig into this text you're going to
- 00:13:44see some of those too so Matthew Chapter
- 00:13:4614 verse 22 says immediately Jesus made
- 00:13:50the disciples get into the boat and go
- 00:13:52on ahead of him to the other side while
- 00:13:56he dismissed the crowd after he
- 00:13:57dismissed them he went up on the
- 00:13:59mountain side by himself to pray and
- 00:14:02later that night he was there alone so
- 00:14:05they just feeding they just finished
- 00:14:07feeding the 5,000 right Jesus literally
- 00:14:09says it says he made the
- 00:14:13disciples he made them get into the boat
- 00:14:17he didn't strongly suggest it he didn't
- 00:14:20say if you want to he told them get in
- 00:14:25the
- 00:14:27boat he handled this this situation I
- 00:14:29wish I had more time to talk about this
- 00:14:31idea of of solitude and connection with
- 00:14:33God Andy covered that last week Jesus is
- 00:14:36intentional to spend time with
- 00:14:38God but he told them to get in the
- 00:14:41boat he told them to get in the boat and
- 00:14:45I firmly believe Jesus knew what they
- 00:14:48were headed
- 00:14:49into Jesus knew what they were headed
- 00:14:51into and he commanded them to do it I
- 00:14:56don't know about you but this
- 00:14:57conversation is a little bit unsettling
- 00:15:00sometimes God knows what I'm about to go
- 00:15:03through and he's going to allow me
- 00:15:06almost push me into it to work through
- 00:15:09it to walk through it why so that you
- 00:15:12can grow in your understanding of him
- 00:15:15and learn how to trust him when things
- 00:15:17are
- 00:15:20difficult we don't like that I like my
- 00:15:23comfortable box where I live How I Live
- 00:15:25doing the things that I do it's
- 00:15:27uncomfortable to understand all of this
- 00:15:30but Jesus you have to know this he knows
- 00:15:33exactly what he's sending them
- 00:15:35into he knows the storm that's on its
- 00:15:39way and you and I have to
- 00:15:42understand he's got
- 00:15:44us before your storm ever hits he knows
- 00:15:49and he's right there with you telling
- 00:15:53you get in the
- 00:15:56boat it says in verse 24
- 00:16:00the boat was already a considerable
- 00:16:01distance from Land buffeted by the waves
- 00:16:04because the wind was against it so the
- 00:16:08disciples have been rowing they've been
- 00:16:09working through it walking through it
- 00:16:10it's a unique scenario that buffeted
- 00:16:13means that the the wind and the waves is
- 00:16:14constantly hitting against them right
- 00:16:17and if you know anything about the area
- 00:16:18just across the way is the Mediterranean
- 00:16:20Sea that's an actual sea the Sea of
- 00:16:23Galilee is 700t below sea level and more
- 00:16:26like a big lake and I don't know about
- 00:16:28you but I've I've I've got family that
- 00:16:30lives on lakes I've been on lakes storms
- 00:16:32are unique they're crazy but they're not
- 00:16:35often big wave storms same thing for the
- 00:16:38Sea of Galilee don't have a ton of
- 00:16:39massive ridiculous storms they have
- 00:16:41storms they come up all the sudden but
- 00:16:43you're not talking about crazy massive
- 00:16:46ridiculous storm and then what's cool is
- 00:16:49in trying to capture this in 1991 I
- 00:16:52think they finally captured a storm on
- 00:16:54the Sea of Galilee that had over 10 foot
- 00:16:56waves so it's possible a crazy storm is
- 00:17:00happening the disciples are in the boat
- 00:17:02just as Jesus asked them or commanded
- 00:17:05them to do and they are constantly
- 00:17:07feeling the
- 00:17:12pressure I've been whitewater rafting
- 00:17:14before had opportunity on a couple
- 00:17:16different occasions to go down the
- 00:17:17Arkansas River in Colorado I've been
- 00:17:19down the Royal Gorge it's really really
- 00:17:21fun when you're in the moment but when
- 00:17:24things go crazy or when the waves are
- 00:17:26chaotic it is insane
- 00:17:29ity I can only imagine what that looks
- 00:17:32like cuz when we sit here in the
- 00:17:35audience often times our imaginations
- 00:17:37try to get the best of us what did that
- 00:17:39maybe look like in our minds and for me
- 00:17:41I go to the Rapids where the boat just
- 00:17:44literally caps siiz we flipped over
- 00:17:46everybody is out and we are frantically
- 00:17:49trying to figure it out that's what I'm
- 00:17:51thinking of that's the kind of storm I'm
- 00:17:53processing as the disciples are trying
- 00:17:55to row against it and in verse 25 it
- 00:17:58says shortly before
- 00:18:00Dawn Jesus went out to them walking on
- 00:18:03the lake when the disciples saw him
- 00:18:06walking on the lake they were terrified
- 00:18:09it is a ghost they
- 00:18:11said and cried out in
- 00:18:14fear so a couple of things in this text
- 00:18:17shortly before Dawn so they just fed the
- 00:18:185,000 Jesus sends them out on a boat
- 00:18:21it's shortly before Dawn means before
- 00:18:23the sun is rising so I don't know how
- 00:18:25long they've been on the water but it's
- 00:18:26not like 20 minutes right you're not in
- 00:18:29some paddle booat just kind of figuring
- 00:18:31out okay I'm done let's get off the boat
- 00:18:33this has been going on for a
- 00:18:36while and Jesus comes out to
- 00:18:40them literally walking on the
- 00:18:44water man that must have been cool to
- 00:18:47see I don't know if you've ever
- 00:18:49experienced or been able to see a
- 00:18:51miracle
- 00:18:53happen I've been privileged to see God
- 00:18:55work in ways that don't make sense and
- 00:18:59it captivates me every single
- 00:19:03time for the
- 00:19:05disciples it's a
- 00:19:08ghost I know this sounds Petty But
- 00:19:10realize hear me say this they think it's
- 00:19:12a ghost and and and and this is other
- 00:19:16cultures flooding into the conversation
- 00:19:18the the Greco Roman period with all the
- 00:19:20stuff that they're doing it's it's
- 00:19:21creeping into
- 00:19:23this it's a ghost right and I want to
- 00:19:25say like okay now I can believe in
- 00:19:26ghosts because it says there's ghost
- 00:19:28Jesus was a ghost no it's not
- 00:19:31don't says they cried out in
- 00:19:34fear it scared them enough it terrified
- 00:19:39them enough to be
- 00:19:42afraid
- 00:19:44fear paralyzes
- 00:19:47us and if we let it sit there long
- 00:19:50enough it will start to erode the trust
- 00:19:53around us with everyone with everything
- 00:20:00verse 27 but Jesus immediately said to
- 00:20:03them take courage it is I do not be
- 00:20:11afraid I don't know if you realize
- 00:20:15this but you just sang good
- 00:20:20plans it said I will take heart in
- 00:20:24deserts and
- 00:20:26Gardens the word take heart in the Greek
- 00:20:30the word here take courage in the Greek
- 00:20:32it's the
- 00:20:33same
- 00:20:36th it literally means to be of good
- 00:20:39cheer to take courage to be
- 00:20:44confident it's the same thing that we
- 00:20:46read on the second half of John 16:33
- 00:20:50where Jesus says in this world you will
- 00:20:52have trouble but take
- 00:20:56heart I have overcome the
- 00:21:00world do not be afraid be confident I
- 00:21:06have
- 00:21:07overcome the world be confident it is
- 00:21:11Jesus you don't have to worry I am right
- 00:21:15here with you in the middle of the storm
- 00:21:18you are walking through I put you into
- 00:21:21it and I'm going to see you through it
- 00:21:32remember the disciples are in this mess
- 00:21:35because Jesus sent them out into
- 00:21:39it and when it gets
- 00:21:41crazy Jesus is right there helping them
- 00:21:44shift their thoughts from Brokenness and
- 00:21:49problems to being confident in
- 00:21:53him and I think we can all learn a huge
- 00:21:57lesson under understanding just how bold
- 00:22:00of a statement it is for Jesus to say
- 00:22:04don't worry I've got
- 00:22:07you I had you before this started I am
- 00:22:11still here with
- 00:22:15you yeah that's fine you can
- 00:22:18clap so verse 28 let's keep it
- 00:22:22rolling uniquely as Jesus is coming
- 00:22:24towards the boat it says in verse 28
- 00:22:26Lord if it's you Peter replied take tell
- 00:22:28me to come to you on the water come he
- 00:22:32said then Peter got down out of the boat
- 00:22:36walked on the water and came towards
- 00:22:40Jesus I love this
- 00:22:43verse this is a miraculous experience I
- 00:22:46know because every time I have been
- 00:22:48anywhere around a public pool with my
- 00:22:50swimsuit on I have tried to walk on
- 00:22:52water and it doesn't
- 00:22:54work it doesn't I end up sinking like a
- 00:22:57stone it
- 00:22:59bad but yet Peter has this
- 00:23:02opportunity he steps up in the midst of
- 00:23:05all the fear that's going on in the
- 00:23:06midst of the the the storm that is still
- 00:23:08happening around them amidst the waves
- 00:23:10that are beating and battering the boat
- 00:23:12Peter asks Jesus if it really is you let
- 00:23:15me come out to you and Jesus in a moment
- 00:23:18says let me show you what I'm really
- 00:23:20made of let me teach you what it's like
- 00:23:23to be bold let me let me help you along
- 00:23:26in this process
- 00:23:32see I love this
- 00:23:34conversation I know that in this moment
- 00:23:37there are 12 guys that are in this boat
- 00:23:40and only one of them is willing to get
- 00:23:41out of the boat see here in a couple of
- 00:23:43verses a lot of people get on to Peter
- 00:23:45because Jesus says you have little faith
- 00:23:47why did you doubt we're not there yet
- 00:23:50before we get to that point we've got to
- 00:23:52give Peter some credit cuz he's the only
- 00:23:54one that was willing to get out of the
- 00:23:57boat and it's not some little like I
- 00:24:00don't know about you but when you're
- 00:24:00getting out of the boat and you're like
- 00:24:02putting your feet in the water right
- 00:24:03you're not doing this whole like right
- 00:24:05it's it's not it's not Afra and it's not
- 00:24:07like he can continue to hold on the boat
- 00:24:09while he's doing the whole Jesus thing
- 00:24:11right Jesus hold me help I don't know
- 00:24:13what I'm doing right it's not that he
- 00:24:15was far enough away that when he was
- 00:24:17we'll get there I'm getting I'm getting
- 00:24:18ahead of
- 00:24:19myself he got out of the
- 00:24:23boat he got
- 00:24:26out of the boat
- 00:24:28I think sometimes in our Christian faith
- 00:24:30in our Christian walk we get
- 00:24:33comfortable we're okay with where we are
- 00:24:35and what's happening our circumstances
- 00:24:38kind of get set and we start living this
- 00:24:40normal life of Christianity and we go
- 00:24:43through this the process we get to doing
- 00:24:46what all the TW are doing I I don't want
- 00:24:48to condemn it if you are following after
- 00:24:49Jesus it's a beautiful
- 00:24:51thing but I think for all of us in this
- 00:24:54room we need to dare to get out of the
- 00:24:56boat
- 00:24:58we need to intentionally get out of the
- 00:25:01boat see if you want to experience a
- 00:25:04childlike
- 00:25:05Faith you got to get out of the
- 00:25:08boat if you want to see God do amazing
- 00:25:11things in your life you've got to get
- 00:25:12out of the boat if you want to see the
- 00:25:14wonderwork power of what God can do in
- 00:25:16your life and the life of people around
- 00:25:18you you got to get out of the boat if
- 00:25:21you want to see things happen in your
- 00:25:23life that make zero sense you got to get
- 00:25:27out of the the
- 00:25:29boat if you want a life that you can
- 00:25:31look back
- 00:25:33on that generation after generation will
- 00:25:36tell the stories and and the tales of
- 00:25:39what you've done and how you've lived
- 00:25:40your life it requires you to get out of
- 00:25:44the boat and live out your faith among a
- 00:25:48generation that doesn't
- 00:25:53understand I know for
- 00:25:55me I want my boys
- 00:25:59to not only look at me as a good dad I'm
- 00:26:01working on
- 00:26:03it but I want them to have the do you
- 00:26:05remember
- 00:26:07wins because we lived it out because we
- 00:26:10modeled it because we were willing as as
- 00:26:12a dad I was willing to get out of the
- 00:26:15boat and getting out of the boat is the
- 00:26:18deepest and truest definition of
- 00:26:20trusting
- 00:26:22God because he is doing something
- 00:26:24otherworldly it's miraculous he cannot
- 00:26:28do this this circumstance does not
- 00:26:30happen without Jesus present is that I
- 00:26:34making
- 00:26:35sense Jesus is required for Peter to
- 00:26:37Walk On Water Peter doesn't walk on
- 00:26:40water everywhere else it is because of
- 00:26:41Jesus it is because he is there that
- 00:26:44Peter is walking on
- 00:26:49water and then in verse
- 00:26:5230 when he saw the
- 00:26:54wind he was
- 00:26:57afraid and he began to
- 00:26:59sink he cried out Lord save
- 00:27:03me and come on Peter you were just like
- 00:27:08motivating you you you were doing it
- 00:27:10right and now you're like come on
- 00:27:13dude it shows
- 00:27:15me that even Peter had trust
- 00:27:20issues even the man that got to walk
- 00:27:23side by side with Jesus had trust issues
- 00:27:29it means there's hope for
- 00:27:31me hope for all of us in the
- 00:27:33room and I think sometimes we we focus
- 00:27:37too hard on the
- 00:27:40failure we do that in our own worlds
- 00:27:42When we struggle to trust or when we
- 00:27:44when we when we mess up in our
- 00:27:46relationship with God man things are
- 00:27:47going good and all of a sudden we just
- 00:27:48get sidetracked or something happens we
- 00:27:51focus more on man shame on you look at
- 00:27:53what you did I can't believe you instead
- 00:27:55of you know what I'm going to get back
- 00:27:56on this I'm going to keep doing this
- 00:27:57Jesus J let's go my bad forgive
- 00:28:01me all of us in this moment should be
- 00:28:05intentionally processing this
- 00:28:08question just like Peter when you are
- 00:28:13sinking when you are falling into the
- 00:28:16water where do you
- 00:28:19go where did Peter
- 00:28:23turn the boat was too far away to save
- 00:28:26him
- 00:28:29the only thing in that moment that could
- 00:28:31save him was
- 00:28:33Jesus the only person who was able to do
- 00:28:36something about that moment was Jesus
- 00:28:39and I don't know if you recognize it but
- 00:28:40guess what Jesus called him into another
- 00:28:42scenario where more than likely he was
- 00:28:44going to fail and Jesus yet again was
- 00:28:46still there trustworthy to make sure he
- 00:28:49had him in the
- 00:28:52moment where do you
- 00:28:55go had a conversation couple months ago
- 00:28:58about a guy who's trying to figure out
- 00:29:00how to get away from
- 00:29:02alcohol cuz that's where he
- 00:29:05goes and a mom in
- 00:29:07desperation trying to figure out what to
- 00:29:09do because her family is falling
- 00:29:12apart she doesn't know where to
- 00:29:15turn for all of us in this room there's
- 00:29:18opportunities Galore that's why we have
- 00:29:20the body the body of of of of Christ
- 00:29:23here the church to create unity and
- 00:29:26opportunity for us to come around you
- 00:29:27never been a part of it go go out there
- 00:29:29on the The Connect Hub grab one of those
- 00:29:31rooted
- 00:29:32cards right go online sign up for rooted
- 00:29:35get involved in a group do life together
- 00:29:37with somebody else and you'll start to
- 00:29:39find that it's a lot easier to walk this
- 00:29:41path and actually trust in
- 00:29:49Jesus verse
- 00:29:5231 immediately I like the the the
- 00:29:55intentionality it wasn't like well when
- 00:29:57he felt like it
- 00:29:59immediately Jesus reached out his hand
- 00:30:01caught him you of little faith he said
- 00:30:04why did you
- 00:30:07doubt I don't know about you I'll come
- 00:30:10to the strength conversation in a minute
- 00:30:12but I find it interesting because when
- 00:30:14we all got tipped out of the boat of the
- 00:30:17of the raft right including our guide we
- 00:30:20we then had to jump into other people's
- 00:30:23rafts and then try to get our boat back
- 00:30:26or our our our raft back
- 00:30:28and I got in and then I was taught how
- 00:30:31to pull somebody into a boat you grab
- 00:30:33them by their life jacket you put your
- 00:30:35feet up and you pull with everything in
- 00:30:38your might to get them up in the
- 00:30:40boat everything in me to get one person
- 00:30:44in the boat and it says he reached out
- 00:30:47his
- 00:30:48hand and caught
- 00:30:52him you're
- 00:30:56good it's easy
- 00:30:59but what I find is this what God calls
- 00:31:01you to I totally stole this from the
- 00:31:03pastor by the way what God calls you to
- 00:31:05he will lead you through it's too cliche
- 00:31:08right but it's
- 00:31:11true what God calls you to where God has
- 00:31:14you he will lead you through it verse
- 00:31:1832 and when they climbed into the boat
- 00:31:21the winds died down then those who were
- 00:31:24in The Boat worshiped him saying truly
- 00:31:28you are the Son of
- 00:31:35[Applause]
- 00:31:38God how do you respond when the storm is
- 00:31:41over when everything's
- 00:31:44calm when you've gone through it and
- 00:31:47Jesus has been right beside you through
- 00:31:49the whole thing sometimes even with you
- 00:31:51out without you even processing that he
- 00:31:53was there right because we tried to take
- 00:31:54control we tried to deal with it we
- 00:31:56tried to to to alter the circumstances
- 00:31:59on our own but Jesus is with us through
- 00:32:02the whole process and at the end of it
- 00:32:03all what do they do they worship God
- 00:32:06they they they say truly you are the Son
- 00:32:08of God that's
- 00:32:11trust that's
- 00:32:14amazing how do I get to a place in my
- 00:32:16life where in every circumstance
- 00:32:19regardless if it's good or bad I can
- 00:32:21look back and say you are the Son of God
- 00:32:24how do we get to a place in our lives
- 00:32:26where every day we are B Bly pushing the
- 00:32:28limits challenging what we believe how
- 00:32:31we live our lives trying to go into the
- 00:32:34world to live out the mission of the
- 00:32:36Gospel to be Jesus to our co-workers to
- 00:32:39our families and to our
- 00:32:41friends to to to pour out every single
- 00:32:44day everything that God has given us to
- 00:32:46empty our tanks so that we can show the
- 00:32:48world that there is truly an
- 00:32:50understanding of love that loves them
- 00:32:52even more than we
