How to Handle Life's Interruptions: When Fear Drowns Your Faith

How to Handle Life's Interruptions

"When Fear Drowns Your Faith"
(Matthew 14:22-33)

Fear rarely announces itself. It shows up after a mountaintop moment, in the middle of obeying God, right when life feels most out of our hands. In this Midweek Bible Study, Pastor Peter Finch teaches from Matthew 14, where the disciples meet a storm and Peter steps out onto the water toward Jesus. Peter walks as long as his eyes stay on Christ, and begins to sink the moment he fixes them on the wind. Finch shows how fear undermines faith, leads to disobedience, isolation, and lost peace, and then points to how Scripture calls us to answer it: fix your eyes on Christ's presence, hold to His promises, cultivate a life of prayer and thanksgiving, and choose faith over fear. You walk away with the anchor of the whole study, that Jesus is stronger than the fiercest storm, and that His promise "I am with you" is reason enough not to be afraid.
