Untested Faith : Gina Jones
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our faith through the lens of storms in our lives. The key scripture, Matthew 14:22-32, recounts Jesus walking on water and Peter's attempt to join Him. This story isn't just about miracles; it's about how we respond to life's challenges. Are we cowering in the boat or stepping out in faith? The message emphasizes that untested faith is undeveloped belief. We're reminded that God sometimes sends us into storms not to harm us, but to deepen our revelation of who He is. This insight invites us to reframe our perspective on difficulties, seeing them as opportunities for spiritual growth rather than mere obstacles. As we navigate our own storms, we're encouraged to accept God's invitations, even when they seem impossible, and to recognize that our response to trials can lead to more authentic worship and a deeper understanding of God's nature.
