Do Not be Afraid (John 6:16-21)

This week’s message is the account of Jesus walking on the water. The disciples had just been part of a miraculous event and following this incredible high, they encounter a storm while crossing the Sea of Galilee. In the midst of chaos and darkness, Jesus comes to them and they have to make a choice.

We are reminded over and over in scripture to “fear not.” Will we allow ourselves to be paralyzed by fear in the midst of our storms, or will we put our faith in the only one who can deliver us?
