“So Jesus said, ‘come’.  And when Peter had come down out of the boat he walked on the water to go to Jesus.” Matthew 14:29

When I was a kid we used to play a game called ‘walking on the water’ at the local public swimming pool. Imagine a pack of eight year old boys and girls lining up at least twenty feet from the waters edge then running as fast as they could toward the pool.

A Savior says to you in Matthew 17:20, “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you can say to your mountain move and it will move and nothing will be impossible for you!” Dump your doubts and say “WOW, I can do this!
