Commission & Benediction
(based on Matthew 14:22-33)
Friends,
Jesus calls us to step out on to the water with him,
to leave the safety of our boats,
and to walk toward Him in faith,
joining Him in the work He is already doing in our world.
And when the wind and waves get high and threaten to overwhelm us,
we remember His words:
“Don’t be afraid. Take courage. I am here.”
So let’s go with faith,
to follow where Jesus leads,
confident that His love and presence go with us.
