Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 6:45-52, John 6:16-21
If you remember, last week we learned about Jesus, the Great Healer, and His compassion for people who were so very hungry and how He used His miraculous power to meet their needs. Again, we learned from Jesus, the Great Teacher, about how to show others we love them and care about them.
Today, we will study about God’s great power and our need to have faith in Him:
- We’ll learn about having great faith. And how faith in Jesus can help us do things we never thought possible.
- We’ll also learn about how, when we let fear override faith, we become distracted by our fears and we lose sight of Jesus’ power to help us in any situation.
