How to Walk on Water

Have you ever tried to do something that was simply beyond you? Something no amount of training, practice, or willpower could ever accomplish? Walking on water isn’t hard —it’s impossible. No matter how many hours you put in, you’d never take one step across the waves. And that’s exactly the picture God gives us of the Christian life. It’s not hard, it’s impossible. If it were hard, the answer would be “try harder.” But Scripture makes it clear that our strength, our wisdom, and our willpower will never be enough. The question tonight is this: are you trying to live the Christian life in your own strength, or are you depending fully on God’s power?
