Plunge Into Courage!



Tonight's theme was one that all 100+ kids and adults needed to be reminded of. In our world there are man things which frighten us. And many times those things are not as big as we think. Sure there are terrorist, wars, hurricanes, etc. but there is also the neighbor who needs to hear about Christ or just needs a friend. Maybe it is the courage to touch the untouchables, to love the unlovable, to let go of bitterness, to forgive, etc. that each of us needs. Just as Peter had the courage to step out of the boat and walk on water each of us needs the courage to step out on faith. But, Peter sank. So true, but Jesus was there to help him up and walk on water together to the boat. The other disciples stayed in the boat and missed the miracle of walking on water that Peter experienced. It is time for each of us in childlike faith to step out and meet Jesus. We just might walk on water!
