I want you to keep this in mind us? I want you to keep this in mind us? I want you to keep this in mind tonight. Peter went from no faith in tonight. Peter went from no faith in tonight. Peter went from no faith in Mark 4 to little faith in Matthew 14. Mark 4 to little faith in Matthew 14. Mark 4 to little faith in Matthew 14. And here's what got me. and little faith And here's what got me. and little faith And here's what got me. and little faith was enough to get him out of the boat was enough to get him out of the boat was enough to get him out of the boat and walk on water. Let me say that and walk on water. Let me say that and walk on water. Let me say that again. I know you've been through a again. I know you've been through a again. I know you've been through a storm here just to come to church. Peter storm here just to come to church. Peter storm here just to come to church. Peter went from no faith in Mark 4 to little went from no faith in Mark 4 to little went from no faith in Mark 4 to little faith a year later. And what's amazing faith a year later. And what's amazing faith a year later. And what's amazing to me is little faith sometimes gets a to me is little faith sometimes gets a to me is little faith sometimes gets a bad rap. There's only two people in the bad rap. There's only two people in the bad rap. There's only two people in the Bible that had great faith and they were Bible that had great faith and they were Bible that had great faith and they were both non-Jews. They were a cyrophenician both non-Jews. They were a cyrophenician both non-Jews. They were a cyrophenician Canaanite woman and it was also a Roman Canaanite woman and it was also a Roman Canaanite woman and it was also a Roman centurion. So here Peter in in in this centurion.

So here Peter in in in this situation that little faith was enough situation that little faith was enough situation that little faith was enough to get him out of the boat and walk on to get him out of the boat and walk on to get him out of the boat and walk on water. That's why this is so key. I'm water. That's why this is so key. I'm water. That's why this is so key. I'm thinking this, what could have happened thinking this, what could have happened thinking this, what could have happened if he had great faith that day? Little if he had great faith that day? Little if he had great faith that day? Little faith was enough. Little faith faith was enough. Little faith faith was enough. Little faith encourages more walking and in a sense

encourages more walking and in a sense encourages more walking and in a sense less screaming. The first time less screaming. The first time less screaming.
