SERMONS BY PASTOR JIM NORMAN

MATTHEW 14:22-36 " GET OUT OF THE BOAT "

PETER WAS  A FISHERMAN AND JESUS MADE HIM A FISHER OF MEN!

AT LEAST PETER TOOK A STEP OF FAITH, THE REST OF THEM  WERE JUST BOAT PEOPLE!

BOAT PEOPLE JUST SIT

BOAT PEOPLE JUST WATCH

BOAT PEOPLE JUST WAIT

BOAT PEOPLE JUST WONDER

Peter step out closer to the Lord, even when he was sinking, he was closer to Jesus than the rest of them. You never sink too far in sin in which Jesus can not lift you up! Amen.

* HE STEPPED OUT WITH JESUS VRS 28 - 29

JOHN 6:47

HE DID WALK ON THE WATER- THINK ABOUT HOW GLORIOUS IT WAS TO WALK OUT TO THE LORD.

*HE STEPPED OUT ON FAITH

SOME WILL NEVER STEP OUT, SOME WILL NEVER STEP UP!

WE DO NOT LACK MONEY, BUT MORALS

WE DO NOT LACK CLOTHES, BUT COURAGE

II CORINTHIANS 5:7

* HE STEPPED OUT IN FULLNESS

HE WAS FULL OF GOD, GRACE,  AND GOING  " THE UNCTION "

EPHESIANS 3:19

HE WAS FULL AND DID NOT HAVE A EMPTY FEELING UNTIL MR. DEVIL BROUGHT A STORM INTO HIS LIFE (DOES THIS SOUND FIMILIAR)

* HE STEPPED OUT WITH A FUTURE

JOHN 10:9

WHEN YOU TAKE A STEP OF FAITH WITH JESUS YOU CAN HAVE A FUTURE!

HEAVEN OR HELL- WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?

* HE STEPPED OUT WITH JOY

* HE STEPPED OUT WITH FRIENDSHIP

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS!!! HE NEVER LEAVES US, NEVER STOPS LOVING US!

* HE STEPPED OUT WITH A FAMILY

PART OF THE FAMILY OF GOD, YOU DO NOT JOIN A FAMILY, YOU ARE BORN INTO A FAMILY.

* HE STEPPED IN THE FOUNTAIN (OF LIFE)

HE WOULD NEVER THIST, ONCE YOU GET A GOOD TASTE OF THE LIVING WATER.

* HE STEPPED OUT WITH JUSTIFICATION VRS 30 - 33

* A STEP OF FORGIVENESS

EVEN WHEN HIS FAITH FAILED, JESUS STILL PULLED HIM UP.

* A STEP OF FAVOUR

JESUS BROUGHT HIM INTO THE BOAT. THE SHEPERD ALWAYS LOOKS AFTER HIS SHEEP. WHEN WE STRAY HE IS THERE TO HELP.

* A STEP OF FELLOWSHIP

HE DID NOT LET HIM DROWN, HE NOW WAS SAFE IN THE MASTERS HAND. JUST LIKE EVERY SAINT OF GOD WHO HAS PUT THEIR TRUST IN JESUS.
