Sunday July 12th the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost the sermon title is Theological Reflection on Johnny Appleseed. The scripture is Matthew 14:25-30.
In Matthew 14, Peter walks on water because of his faith and trust in Jesus.
When he became overwhelmed with fear he began to sink.
Jesus rescued him and said, “you have so little faith, why did you doubt Me?”
This serves as a lesson on trusting God in the face of life’s overwhelming challenges.
Looking forward to seeing all at worship this Sunday.
Blessings to all.

Mark gives the distinct impression that the Kingdom is upon us.
In fact, he continually used a Greek word that is not easily translated into English–but which gives the idea of “immediately.”
