After Jesus fed 5000 people, his name was well known.

Jesus did it to feed their needs and not to seek fame.

Jesus is teaching the disciples to express love. Mark6.52

Peter was recorded in Matthew for walking on water to meet Jesus.

 

To improve ourselves

1) to try out new things

To see things out of the box

Matthew 14.28-30

Peter wanted to walk on water.

He asked Jesus if he can walk on water to jesus.

He thought about it and wanted to move forward and he asked if he could do it.

Be proactive, look for opportunities

Being in the comfort zone for a long time will mean no advancement for us

Comfort zone

Fear zone

Learning zone

Growth zone

We ask ourselves do we want to grow?

Get out from the comfort zone

Jeremiah 1.7-8

Isaiah30.20-21

 

2) dare to experience something challenging

Peter walking on stormy seawater

Changing our way of thinking releases new ideas

Psalm 119.71

Tempest help us change and grow

We need to try Hands-On

Psalm 18.34

 

3) learn through failures

Peter sinking, allows him to learn

Understand what`s real, and God allows us to fail in order for us to learn.
