“Sea of Doubt”
John 6:1-21
- Introduction: Do you ever wonder if God is really there?
- All of us have skepticism from time to time
- Much of the skepticism regarding Christ is around his miracles
- Many of the miracles Jesus did were on or around the sea of Galilee, which makes it the biggest area of skepticism
- Jesus fed the 5000
- Is this a story that’s just been exaggerated over the years?
- Mana from heaven is a foreshadowing of Jesus
- This was a picture of the Passover and lead to Jesus’ big revelation that he is the Bread of Life
- Jesus walked on water
- Was he really walking in ankle deep water?
- How did Peter almost drown in ankle deep water?
- Jesus has control over nature and can change the rules because he made them
- Jesus transported his disciples
- Did his disciples just underestimate how far they had travelled?
- Maybe there was a heavy fog
- If Jesus really moved them to where they needed to go, what could he do with us?
- They didn’t need to be in Galilee, they needed to be with him
- Did his disciples just underestimate how far they had travelled?
- Conclusion: Jesus won’t fault you for doubt, faith is a gift from God
- God will help us with our disbelief if we ask him to
- If Jesus really could do all of these things, imagine what he can do with your life
