Looking forward to seeing everyone in church on Sunday. Bring your Bibles because we are going to take some time and walk through the text.
Next week, while you meet with your small faith group you may want to reflect on the sermon and then use the questions below as talk starters.
Read Matthew 14:22-33
- If the boat represents safety, what are the boats in your life?
- Only one person got out of the boat and then that person, Peter failed in a public way. Have you ever failed in a public way?
- Was Peter a failure?
“Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I've met people who don't want to try for fear of failing.” - J.K. Rowling
“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.” - Johnny Cash
“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” - Henry Ford
“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” - Winston Churchill
“It's failure that gives you the proper perspective on success.” - Ellen DeGeneres
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” - Robert F. Kennedy
