Life on the Water - Matthew 14:22-33



LIFE:
-What things shape our relationships the most? (Time, trust, similarities, etc)

-Are there different factors for different types of relationships? (friendship, romantic, co-worker)

-How does time and proximity influence relationships? (Relationship requires it ongoing, or "pickup where we left off")



TRUTH:
-Read Matthew 14:22-33

-Go back to Vs. 1 and skim over until Vs.22. What haveJesus and his disciples endured up until this passage? (**Bonus points if you list anything before Ch. 14!**)

-Where do you think the disciples are at mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically at this point?

-When Jesus went to pray, how did that affect the disciples? What changed? How could they see Jesus perform a miracle to mistaking Him for a ghost?

-What would we do in this situation? Would we recognize and trust Jesus or doubt and question?



ACTION:

-Jesus said "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" In what area of our lives could Jesus say this?

-Ask Jesus to reveal the areas in your life that we doubt Him or forget His identity.

-Ask Jesus to help your doubt and unbelief. Ask Him to give you a trust with no limits!

-Pray over each other and commit to reminding each other: Our identities in Christ, Who our God is, And What our God can do!
