We explore Matthew 14, focusing on Peter's courageous decision to step out of the boat and walk on water toward Jesus.
• Peter requested to walk on water because as a Talmudim (disciple), he believed he could become like his rabbi
• In first-century Jewish culture, being a disciple meant more than learning teachings—it meant following in your rabbi's footsteps
• Jesus calling Peter to "come" was an invitation to supernatural faith and obedience
• God calls each of us to step out of our comfort zones in different ways
• Potential "boat-leaving" moments include forgiveness, reconciliation, serving your spouse, radical generosity, sharing faith, or starting ministry
• Many miracles remain unrealized because we fail to take the step of faith God is asking of us
• What appears impossible becomes possible when we respond to Jesus' invitation with obedience
