"The Opposite of Fear"
9th Sunday after Pentecost
August 10, 2014
This week we take a look at the familiar story of Jesus walking on the water during a raging storm on the Sea of Galilee. (You can read it here.) Peter - always the impulsive one - asks to join Jesus in his water-walking adventure. But after just a few steps Peter sinks in fear, prompting Jesus to say, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
It's been said that the opposite of faith isn't disbelief, but fear. So, where do we find the courage to live out of faith rather than fear? What can enable us to grow our "little faith"? Can we learn to be daring enough to swing our legs over the side of the boat? Join us as we wrestle with those questions this week.
See you Sunday!
