We all face moments when the waves feel louder than God’s voice. Not because we don’t believe in Him—but because we’re not sure He can really work through us.

In this message, we look at Peter walking on water and see doubt for what it really is: not a flaw, but an invitation. Peter didn’t question Jesus’ power—he questioned his own ability to do what Jesus called him to do. And that’s where most of our doubt lives too. Real faith isn’t pretending the waves aren’t there. It’s choosing to look at Jesus anyway. Doubt doesn’t disqualify you. In fact, it might be the very thing that drives you closer.

Key takeaway:

The waves are not proof that you can’t—they’re the backdrop where Jesus shows you that you can.

Try this:

Don’t ignore the area where you feel most unsure. Bring it to God honestly. Pray, “Lord, if You’re calling me, give me the courage to step out.” Then take one small step—have the conversation, apply for the thing, say yes to the nudge you’ve been resisting. See what happens when you trust Him more than the waves.
