Please Enjoy This Preview of Worship for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost at First Presbyterian Church 1793
At a time when he is being chased by enemies, Elijah is all alone and afraid. On a mountaintop, Elijah hears the encouraging, empowering voice of God in sheer silence. The perfect love of God casts out fear.
Jesus commanded his disciples to get into a boat and to set off without him. They experience a violent storm that exhausted them all night. In the middle of the tempest, the tired, terrified disciples saw a ghost walking across the water. When they cried out in fear, the apparition turned out to be Jesus. Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”
Peter then challenged Jesus to command Peter to walk on the water. Walking on water worked at first for Peter. Then his fear caused him to sink. Peter asked Jesus to save him and Jesus does save Peter, saying, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?
The world can be a scary place. When are we afraid? What frightens us the most? It’s perfectly normal for us to be afraid and doubtful. How does faith overcome doubt? How does the perfect love of Jesus cast out our fear especially when we feel like we are sinking over our heads. Christian community is a great gift. We are all in this together, and Jesus, the Son of God, is with us too.
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday for 10:30 a.m. Worship
