Out of the Boat | Anchored

Through the story of Peter walking on water, we see both the courage to step out in obedience and the very real struggle of doubt when we take our eyes off Christ and focus on the storms around us. This sermon explores how even “little faith” can lead to the impossible when it’s placed in the right person—Jesus, the One who walks on water, rules over chaos, and reaches out to save us when we begin to sink. Whether you feel stuck, afraid, or like you’re failing spiritually, this teaching will challenge you to trust God more deeply, step out of your comfort zone, and fix your eyes on Him.

What does it look like for you to spend time alone with God? How can we tell the difference between stepping out in faith and acting recklessly? What does it practically look like to keep your focus on Jesus instead of your circumstances? Why do you think doubt can so quickly replace faith, even after spiritual highs? How does knowing that Jesus is in control of chaos change the way you face fear? How does the image of Jesus reaching out to save Peter shape your understanding of grace and failure? What might God be calling you to step into that requires leaving your comfort zone? ___ FIND US ON SOCIAL Facebook -   / hillcityboise   Instagram -   / hillcityboise   TikTok -   / hillcityboise   Facebook —   / hillcityboise   Instagram —   / hillcityboise
