What's Holding You Back? (Walk on the Water)


Listen Later

What is the "boisterous wind" in your life that is drowning out the voice of God? In this powerful, blended AME, Baptist, and Pentecostal service, Shepherd Dr. Que challenges us to confront the real source of paralysis and stagnation in our lives.

Drawing from the story of Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:22-33), this message offers a radical, life-changing shift in focus: Your Vision Sinks When Your Focus Shifts. We explore the difference between the Word of the Lord (the "Come!") and the current event of the storm, calling believers to step out of the boat of comfort and fear. Get ready for a Holy Ghost-filled session that brings accountability, fire, and ultimate release!

Key Takeaways & Discussion Points

  1. The Wind vs. The Word: Peter started sinking only when he took his eyes off Jesus and focused on the boisterous wind. The lesson is clear: Don't let the current event of your life override the eternal truth of God's Word.
  2. The Danger of Doubting (Distazō): Dr. Que dives into the Greek meaning of Peter’s doubt (distazō), which is to waver or stand on two ways. The thing holding us back is often our hesitation and agreement with the lie of limitation.
  3. A Blended Faith for Action: This service seamlessly incorporates the structured accountability of the AME tradition, the foundational emphasis on the Word (Baptist style), and the fire and movement of the Holy Spirit (Pentecostal style) to demand radical, non-wavering obedience.
  4. Three Key Questions for Breakthrough: Prepare to answer the personal questions asked during the sermon that demand introspection and a renewed commitment to Christ.
