John 15:14-16
14
You are my friends if you do what I
command. 15 I no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know his
master’s business. Instead, I have called
you friends, for everything that I learned
from my Father I have made known to you.
John 15:14-16
16
You did not choose me, but I chose you
and appointed you so that you might go and
bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that
whatever you ask in my name the Father will
give you.

Matthew 14:28-29
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to
come to you on the water.”
28
“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out
of the boat, walked on the water and came
toward Jesus.
29
Faith is the demonstration of trust
in
who God is.
Everything that God does seeks to
restore a relationship of trust with
us.
God’s purpose for us relies more
on His abilities than ours.
Matthew 14:30-31
30
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid
and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save
me!”
31
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and
caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why
did you doubt?”
The trials we face are opportunities
to grow trust.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without
borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever
wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
