In this solo sermon, Jingyang walks us through Matthew 14:13-33, inviting us to confront the limits of natural logic when following Jesus. From the feeding of the five thousand to the disciples straining against the wind, the passage exposes how easily we default to human calculation, control, and self-preservation. Jingyang highlights that while natural means have their place, they are never the final word—God’s power is not constrained by scarcity, scale, or circumstance.

The message crescendos with Peter stepping out of the boat, challenging listeners to consider what obedience looks like when Jesus calls us beyond what feels reasonable or safe. Being sent by Jesus does not guarantee smooth waters, but faith that rests in God’s power rather than human wisdom opens the door to the impossible. This sermon is a call to move from observation to participation—to trust Jesus enough to get out of the boat and meet Him where faith requires risk.
