In this message, Ray Machen-Gray invites the Echo Church family to pause, be fully present, and remember the staggering truth that the God who created the universe loves each of us personally and desires relationship with us. Drawing from 1 John 4 and the story of Peter walking on water in Matthew 14, Ray explores what it means to live in that love and to obey Jesus, even when His instructions seem counterintuitive or hard. Ray emphasizes that the point of the story isn't Peter's failure, but his willingness to get out of the boat at all—and Jesus' loving, immediate response when he faltered. Obedience, persistence, and desire for Jesus matter more than qualifications or strength. Ray challenges the church to: Live in the present with God, meeting Him “in the now.” Obey Jesus even when it's inconvenient or doesn't make sense. Pursue Jesus above all else, preferring to be with Him in the storm than safe without Him. Be willing to step out publicly, encouraging others with visible faith. Recognize our need, cry out quickly for help, and trust Jesus to rescue. Engage in evangelism so others can experience this life-changing love. The sermon closes with a call for the Echo Church community to commit to stepping out—whether in prayer, outreach, giving, or personal witness—trusting that Jesus will meet them in obedience and use them to reach those who don't yet know Him.

Corinthians
As we go through life we're bound to have our fair share of problems and disputes. When someone does us wrong the world would tell you, take em to court and sue them! But pastor Ed Taylor will suggest there's something much more important at stake, and that's God's reputation. We don't want to communicate the wrong message to the unsaved world around us, and so let's see together how to resolve our disputes in a God-honoring manner on Abounding Grace.

Corinthians
When we're wronged by someone or our rights are violated we might be tempted to take it into the legal system. And in certain instances that may be the appropriate course of action. But let's say the person who did you wrong is a Christian… what then? Should Christians take other Christians to court? Or is there a better way to handle it? Today on Abounding Grace that very question is raised. We're going through First Corinthians, and in chapter six another problem in the church at Corinth rises to the surface.

Jesus doesn't leave you on your own when times get tough. He provides you with Himself and His powerful promises. The disciples were in the greatest storm they'd ever experienced. Jesus had just told them He was leaving and they couldn't follow Him now. Soon they would see their Lord betrayed, arrested, tried and crucified. Yet Jesus knew that because they were connected to Him, they could live with confidence. “For all the promises of God find their Yes in him.” (2 Corinthians 1:20) Take-Home Message: My confidence is built by clinging to Jesus.

Key Bible Verse: "Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan!...Then the devil left Him..." Matthew 4: 10, 11
In this podcast, we jump into a word of encouragement that Dave gave to the Thailand '24 gathering with some of our international leaders. As a group, we'd just done a Discovery Bible Study (DBS) from the story of Jesus crossing the lake with his disciples, encountering and stilling a great storm and then encountering another storm of spiritual warfare when confronting the demoniac upon arrival in the Decapolis. We explore the themes of fear and faith from the reflections of this DBS found in Mark 4:35-5:41. The invitation to participate in the Great Commission God is in partnership with us and the whole of creation. He calls us out to "go" and be apostolic. To be 'sent ones'. However we will always confront fear as we respond to his call to "go", just like in this story. Confronting fear Like the people in the story, we will face different fears as we join in God's work of kingdom advancement. We are called to respond with faith in Jesus who is power and authority. This story is a story of taking new ground for the kingdom of God. The storm that this story is talking about is one that comes from a response to God's call to "go" and see the Kingdom of God advance in a new place. Faith from Spirit birthed vision in prayer ‘Faith is about prayer and hearing the voice of the Spirit and then obedience to God.' We are to listen to God's kingdom advance plan in the place of prayer. All apostolic advancement begins in prayer. As we pray, God speaks to ‘go'. Just as God must have spoken to Jesus about going into this new gentile region, God always speaks to us about not settling for where we are right now. Vision birthed by God is always bigger than what we can handle. This is because it is God's vision not ours. Faith is risky “Without the element of risk, there is no need for faith” (Hudson Taylor). As we step into the boat, fear always comes up against faith. Fear can cause us to withdraw. However apostolic advancement happens through our obedience and faith in Jesus, knowing his presence in ‘our boat'. Faith in Jesus' authority When God calls us into new territories, we will run into spiritual powers and forces of darkness like in this story. But can put our faith in Jesus' presence that comes and surrounds us as we obediently go, responding to Jesus' words in the Great Commissions… “And surely I will am with you always” (Matthew 28:20) “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit”. (John 20:21-22) Final words of encouragement “Obey Jesus. Go where he is calling you. Let it be birthed by the Spirit. He will lead us into dark places. Don't compare yourself to others. You have ground God has called you to. It will require you to have faith in Jesus when fear confronts you. Go, take the land God is calling you to. Expect more than what you have right now!”
This week Steve taught again out of Mark chapter 13 about how Trusting Faith, Waiting Faith and Obedient Faith all work together to help us be watchful and stay awake in changing and uncertain times.

Peter had to learn to let go of the cultural traditions and rules that could stand in the way of fulfilling Christ's commission to spread the Gospel. Cultural Christianity can be just as big of an obstacle to us, today, when it keep us from being fully-formed servants of Jesus.
