Here is a good quote about stepping out in faith… “The reason more people do not see Jordan Rivers parting in their lives and ministries is because they waver at the riverbank. They want to be people of faith but they conclude it would be much easier if God would part the waters before they had to get their feet wet!” — Henry Blackaby
This is significant for us because this spring we will embark on a church-wide Sunday School emphasis called, “If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat,” written by John Ortberg. Mainly for middle school through senior adults, but the children and preschoolers will also have special lessons on following Jesus in obedience.
The main lessons are:
- Principles of Water-walking
- The Tragedy of the Unopened Gift
- Find Your Calling and Get Your Feet Wet
- Facing Our Challenges and Conquering Our Fears
- Good News for Cave Dwellers
- Learning to Wait on Our Big God
