What happens when you're found exactly where you're supposed to be? Even as a kid, Jesus was locked into His Father's purpose. This message invites us to stay connected, seek God's vision, and grow right where we are.

Why doesn't Jesus just take away our problems? In this message, we explore how faith is often built not through easy answers, but through storms we don't expect. Using the story of Peter walking on water (Matthew 14), we ask four personal questions: What's my boat? What's my step? What's my obstacle? And most importantly—who is my Savior? If you've ever felt like Jesus was distant in your struggle, this message is for you.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.1 Timothy 2:1-6 NIV
