Pastor Eric attempted to walk on water today, to illustrate in the Children’s’ Sermon that miracles are extraordinary moments in ordinary lives. He gave the children ice cubes to remember the story, along with a reminder to notice the miracles that happen in our lives every day.
In today’s Gospel, Matthew 14: 22-33, Jesus comes to the disciples when they are in trouble, and sustains them in their time of fear and doubt. He reached out to Peter when he became doubtful and began to sink. We can be sure that Jesus is also there for us. He reaches out when we are sinking and need a hand up. The miracle of his presence is all around us…we just need to notice!
