111113-0830-Loran Livingston - By The Hand

2011-11-13-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning November 13th 2011 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture: Matthew 14:24-33; Hebrews 8:8-9

Topic: Faith

Notes:- Jesus walking on water in storm; Peter walked out to meet Him- If you only accept the logical you will never see Jesus- Nothing pleases God except your faith in Him- Miracles happen all the time; it’s not only the fantastic things- What God did for Israel: chose Abraham, lead people into Egypt, 70 grew to 2 million who became slaves... God took them by the hand and led them out- He took us by the hand and led us out.  Had to be dragged out of Egypt, but thank God He did it.- Lot... God would not send destruction till he was out- If He leads you out He can lift you up- Disciples saw Jesus on the water and were troubled, cried out in fear- Peter walked out with eyes on Jesus; when your eyes are on Jesus you don’t see anything else- Peter was distracted by the winds and took his eyes off Jesus, feared filled the void of faith and he began to sink- After every spiritual victory there is a sinking- We ought to go to church to get strong- If Peter had stayed in the boat he wouldn’t have a testimony
