WATCH SERVICE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLJ2UuVZs7s NOTES: “Faith Gets Back Up” July 18 and July 21, 2024 Matthew 14:22-33 (NKJV) The call of faith is the call to the “impossible.” Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few. ” 1 Samuel 14:6 (NKJV) Esther 4:13-14 (NKJV) Daniel 3:16-18 (NKJV) For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity. Proverbs 24:16 (NKJV) John 21:4-7 (NKJV) Church Service Breakdown and Devotional Date: July 21, 2024 Message Title: Faith Gets Back Up Scripture 1: Matthew 14:22-33 (NKJV) Scripture Text: "22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, 'It is a ghost!' And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.' 28 And Peter answered Him and said, 'Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.' 29 So He said, 'Come.' And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, 'Lord, save me!' 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, 'O you of little faith, why did you doubt?' 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, 'Truly You are the Son of God.'" Meaning: In this scripture, we see Peter stepping out in faith to walk on water towards Jesus. However, when Peter becomes aware of the wind and begins to doubt, he starts to sink. This passage teaches us that faith empowers us to do the seemingly impossible, but doubt is our downfall. Nevertheless, Jesus is always there to lift us up when we falter. Scripture 2: 1 Samuel 14:6 (NKJV) Scripture Text: "Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, 'Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.'" Meaning: This verse emphasizes Jonathan’s confidence in God’s power to deliver, irrespective of human strength or numbers. Through this, we understand that faith recognizes God's sovereignty and His ability to act beyond our limitations. Scripture 3: Esther 4:13-14 (NKJV) Scripture Text: "And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: 'Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?'" Meaning: In this scripture, Esther is encouraged to take a stand for her people, suggesting that her rise to queenship was divinely orchestrated for this crucial moment. It highlights that faith often involves bold action and trusting in the providence and timing of God. Scripture 4: Daniel 3:16-18 (NKJV) Scripture Text: "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, 'O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.'" Meaning: This scripture demonstrates the unwavering faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in God’s ability to save them, coupled with their steadfast commitment to worship Him alone, regardless of the outcome. It underscores the power of faith to stand firm in adherence to God’s commandments even in the face of dire consequences. Scripture 5: Proverbs 24:16 (NKJV) Scripture Text: "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity." Meaning: This verse emphasizes perseverance and resilience as hallmarks of righteousness. It teaches us that faith is not about avoiding failures, but about rising each time we fall, trusting in God's
