Sermon Scripture:  Matthew 14:22-33

The parables told us what the kingdom of heaven is like. Now Matthew shows us what happens when that kingdom meets our moments of faith in the face of crisis.

Storms rage, the way storms do, even on faithful people doing exactly what we have been asked to and Jesus met us in our fear and need, taming the very chaos that threatens us, and stretching our faith in God who has promised to never forsake us when we call upon his name.
