“Keep Your Eyes on the Prize”
Matthew 14:22-33 (NIV)
Peter got out of the boat. That’s the part we love to tell — the bold step, the dramatic faith. But the storm was already raging before his foot ever touched the water, and it didn’t let up once he started walking. This Sunday, Dr. Green preaches “Keep Your Eyes on the Prize” from Matthew 14:22-33, the story of a disciple who starts strong and starts sinking, and a Savior who’s already reaching before he can finish the prayer.
We like to picture faith as something steady, unshakable, all-or-nothing. Peter’s wasn’t. He wavered mid-step, and Jesus caught him anyway. That’s the whole gospel in one motion: the same hand that pulled Peter out of the water is the one that went to a cross and rose again, so that we could overcome — not because we kept our eyes perfectly fixed, but because He never took His eyes off of us.
If you’ve ever started strong and felt yourself going under, this word is for you. Join us as we keep our eyes on the prize together.
