We all go through storms, the kind that leave us breathless, uncertain, and afraid. In this message, Adam Hamilton looks at the story of Jesus walking on water in Matthew 14 and the words he speaks to his frightened disciples: "Be encouraged. It's me. Don't be afraid." Through stories of a man paralyzed in a car accident, a young man who kept serving even as cancer took his strength, and a member facing his final days, we see what it looks like to trust that Christ is with us in the middle of the storm, and what it looks like to eventually step out of the boat ourselves. This message was preached in celebration of the dedication of the new Wesley Chapel at our Leawood location. In this message: - Why storms are part of every life, not a sign something's wrong - What Jesus actually says to us in our fear - The story of Peter stepping out of the boat - How to be Christ's presence for someone else in their storm - Why we're called to get out of the boat, not just stay safe inside it New here?
