"Walking in Faith: A Sermon on Trusting Jesus"

Aug 13, 2023    Rev. Charlie Holt

In this powerful message, Reverend Holt opens his ministry with a heartfelt call to bold trust in Jesus Christ, even in life’s most turbulent storms. Preaching from Matthew 14, he explores Peter’s moment of walking on water—and sinking when distracted by fear—highlighting the central conflict between faith and phobia.


Reverend Holt connects this gospel encounter with the divine name revealed to Moses in Exodus—"I Am"—explaining how Jesus’ words, “Take heart, I am” (ego eimi), affirm His divinity and authority. Through personal anecdotes and pastoral insight, he illustrates how we are often sent into uncomfortable places by God not to punish, but to teach us to recognize Jesus in the storm and step out in faith.
