What is God asking you to step out of?
Sometimes the greatest obstacle to deeper faith isn’t failure—it’s comfort. We can build lives that are safe, predictable, and functional while God is calling us to something greater: faithfulness.
In this message from Daybreak Church, Pastor Ben looks at Peter stepping out of the boat to walk toward Jesus in Matthew 14 and Paul’s determination to “press on” in Philippians 3. Through these passages, we’re challenged to recognize the areas where comfort, fear, routine, or complacency may be keeping us from taking the next step of obedience.
Peter’s boat wasn’t broken. It was doing exactly what a boat was supposed to do. But Jesus was out on the water. Sometimes following Jesus means being willing to leave what is functional in order to become faithful.
Faith doesn’t mean you’ll never struggle, doubt, or begin to sink. Peter stepped out in faith, and when he began to sink, Jesus reached out and caught him. We take the step—and we trust the grace of God to carry us.
What “functional boat” have you become comfortable living in? Where might God be calling you to step out, trust Him, and walk by faith?
