Continuing our series of sermons from Matthew, today’s scene is of the disciples in a fishing boat at night in a terrible storm. Although it is a miracle story, at its root is the question of faith. First, seeing Jesus walking toward them on the water, Peter isn’t sure it really is Jesus. Then when Peter himself walks on the water, the doubt begins to creep in, he sinks, and Jesus challenges Peter’s lack of faith. In our current situations we are very much like Peter, our faith vacillating – is God still there? In response, Jesus invites us to have greater faith.
