Scriptures: Jonah 2:1-10; Psalm 29; Romans 9:1-5; Matthew 14:22-33

How would you respond to God’s movement in your life?  If your prayers were answered?  Looking at the combined miracles of Jesus’ feeding the 5,000 and walking on the water in Matthew 14, Mark 6 and John 6, we see that we don’t always see where the signs are pointing. They ought to inspire us to understanding and worship, rather than following the example of the crowds, the disciples, or even Peter.

Do you struggle with doubt?  In this sermon, we consider the work of God on our behalf from before time began – that God in His wisdom and grace has called, justified, and glorified us.  Paul describes that glory as “being conformed to the likeness of Jesus”.  As we move through the Christian life, we learn the thoughts, attitudes, priorities, and abilities of Jesus.
