This Week’s Bible Story
Jesus Walking on Water (Matthew 14) Nothing is too big for Jesus, not even walking on water! Jesus invited Peter to step out of the boat, and he walked on the water too. But in a moment of doubt, he began to sink. Jesus reminded him to trust in God no matter what, even when things are scary and don’t make sense.
