"On Water Walking" - a sermon series by Pastor Jeff Williams, Faith Community Church, Janesville, WI

"Nobody gets up and talks about what happened on the deck of the boat when you were under the water. Nothing happened. The same is true in our faith. ItŐs not in the boat. ItŐs not in the realm of safety and familiarity where exciting things happen. Faith is when we dare to believe God and step out of our boat, out of our comfort zone, into the water. In the water is where Jesus is. ThereŐs where faith is. ThatŐs where the action is. ThatŐs where the stories are told."

From Redland Baptist Church, Rockville, MD - "How NOT to Walk on Water"

"Hudson Taylor, the great faith-missionary, once wrote, 'All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them." You see, you can no more live the Christian life successfully on your own strength than you can walk on water on your own strength. If we are to be and do all that Christ calls us to be and do, then, complete faith in Him is vital.

"The secret of the Christ life is never a matter of OUR ability or OUR self-confidence or OUR effort or OUR determination. The key to living a productive Christian life is looking to Jesus....daring to venture out as we draw strength directly from Him. If we don't' do this....then we are sunk! The Apostle Paul expressed this truth when he said, 'It is God who works IN YOU both to will and to do His good pleasure.' He also said, 'It is Christ IN YOU the hope of glory.'

"So 'Christ in us' is our only hope of accomplishing anything for God. This is why faith in God is so important....for it is OUR faith that releases GOD'S power."

"How to Walk on Water" - by Pastor P.G. Matthew, Grace Valley Christian Center, Davis, CA.

"So not only does Jesus see our struggles, but as He promised, he comes to aid us. How did he come? He walked on the sea. This is not a new idea. In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, Job 9:8 says: 'God who alone stretched out the heavens and walked on the sea as on firm ground.'

"In one commentary on this passage, a famous scholar interprets this as meaning that Jesus Christ walked on the shore of the lake. Here is a great man with a fine mind who cannot really believe that Jesus Christ was walking on water. Like this great scholar, all who doubt the deity of Jesus will have a difficult time seeing our Jesus walking on the water as on firm ground. But Jesus is the Lord of the waters, and he can walk on water. Jesus has defeated all enemies on the cross and has made them a public spectacle. Jesus triumphed over all enemies by his death. No waters can drown him. He is the eternal God, the Redeemer of his people. He has conquered sin, death, the devil, the world and hell. He walks on the waters, and by faith we can also walk on the waters. We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

"When he said "I am" He meant "I am the eternal one, the self-existent God. Before Abraham was, I am. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One. I was dead and behold, I am evermore, and I hold the keys of death and Hades. I am the Messiah. I am from above. I am the bread of life. I am the light of the world. I am the door. I am the Son of God. I am the resurrection and the life. I am the Lord and master. I am the way, the truth and the life. I am! And I am here to help you, to save you, and to cast away every fear that is in you." So courage comes to us when we know experimentally and personally who Jesus Christ is."
