The Presence That Casts Out Fear


Listen Later

In this sermon from John 6:16–21, Pastor Andrey unpacks the often-overlooked account of Jesus walking on water—not merely as a miraculous event, but as a moment charged with theological meaning and comfort for every believer. Set between the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus’ declaration as the bread of life, this passage reveals Jesus as the Creator-God who brings peace not only to raging seas, but to fearful hearts.


Drawing connections to Genesis, the Psalms, and the other Gospel accounts, Pastor Andrey shows how this moment at sea pulls back the curtain on Christ’s divine identity. The disciples are exhausted, overwhelmed, and terrified. But everything changes—not when the storm stops, but when Jesus steps into the boat. With the simple declaration, “It is I,” Jesus reveals Himself as the great “I AM” and brings instant calm.


This sermon reminds us that trials aren’t accidental—they are often God’s gracious design to draw us closer to Himself. Our hope is not ultimately in changed circumstances but in the presence of Christ.


Whether your soul is weary, fearful, or doubting, listen and be reminded: Jesus still enters the chaos and speaks peace.
