Bro. Mark’s message was from Matthew 14:22-33.
We’ve all heard the message of Jesus walking on the water. How many of us can walk on water. Not gonna happen! The disciples saw him and Peter comes out and says, if it’s really you I want to come out to you. So as long as Peter was focused on Jesus all was well. When Peter stepped out on the water he stepped out in Faith! But as soon as he noticed the storm he starts to sink. Peter called out for Jesus to save him. Jesus stretched out his hand. Oh ye of little faith. Why did you doubt me? The other disciples were spectators to this scene. They sat there awestruck. You really are the Son of God!
Do you keep your eyes on Jesus to stay afloat or do you let things around you get in the way which will cause you to sink. If you have the Savior in your heart then what should you fear? Don’t be afraid!

"To God Be the Glory," is how we started our worship service. The words of the hymns and the special music in our service all have a message and meaning, listen and let the words lead you.
The children’s message, "Believe It or Not," from John 20:19-31, spoke of how Thomas was not with the disciples the first time Jesus appeared to them, so he doubted. It's easy to doubt things we can’t see, but if we can only have faith, Jesus Christ allows us an eternal home in heaven.
Brently Florer read James 1:2-4, followed by special music from Lonnie Gregg. Bro. Dale’s message, "Joy When Our Hedge Is Removed," from I Peter 4:12-13, urges believers not to be surprised when they have trials, everyone will have trials, but the difference is whether you have the Holy Spirit in you, to go through the trials with you.
