• The story’s application
  • Consider what the boat represents
    • The church
    • Safety
    • Familiarity
  • Consider what the storm, the wind and waves represent.
    • Chaos of the world, life, etc.
  • What keeps you from obeying can be hearing Jesus’ command as an option

• Comfort Zone
  • He sits alone absorbed in his sofa 
  • His face a sickly glow from the TV screen 
  • His mind getting soft, his will nearly broken 
  • His whites turning red and his irises green 

• Refrain
• But the call it comes again 
• He appears from the mist and says 
• “Come, take a walk on the water!” 
• Take a leap of faith surrender control 
• Jesus is callin’ all his Sons and his daughters 
• Take that step out of the boat 
• Step out of your comfort zone 

• He’d always hoped he’d find his life purpose 
• Then he chickened out when his chance came around 
• Opportunities fade into the haze of comfort 
• When the Lord says jump, he keeps his feet on the ground 

• Refrain
