Our instinct is to hunker down, strain at the oars, and just try to survive. But what if the storm isn't just an obstacle — what if it's an invitation?\nGuest speaker Jeff Stemple walks us through one of the most familiar stories in Scripture: Jesus walking on water. And while the story is familiar, the truth buried inside it is anything but comfortable. By looking at the accounts in Mark, John, and Matthew side by side, Jeff unpacks why Matthew is the only gospel writer who includes Peter's attempt to step out of the boat — and why that \"screw up\" might be the most encouraging part of the whole story.\nThe storms of life are invitations to step out in faith.\nFear says stay put. Faith says step out. And what Jesus says to Peter in the middle of that storm, he says to all of us — come. The very place we least want to go may be the exact place Jesus is already standing, waiting for us to trust him.\nWhether your storm started last week or last year, this episode is for you.\n\nWatch all our sermons on our youtube channel \"Flipside Christian Church\"\nJoin us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.\n37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636\nFor more visit us at flipside.church\nFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/-15b91ZN5YSTvcMaBg88Un0tBNj8bvuxIlVEwGcwztE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzYxMDAvMTU4Mzc4/MjMzNy1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
