~COME TO RECEIVE ENCOURAGEMENT AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT: 9:30AM at 3405 Gough Street, Baltimore!~ MESSAGE: IF YOU WANT TO WALK ON WATER... Matthew 14:22-33 INTRODUCTION A. The only consolation I had going to California this past week for an annual meeting was to know that, even when I was leaving more than a hundred kids behind in our Vacation Bible School, I was actually going to visit the border, and there, meet the hundreds of kids and women crossing the US-Mexicos frontier and learn how to them better in Highland, Baltimore, and, especially, in the Board of Child Care! B. There were many overwhelming, agonizing moments in this trip to the border. C. Videoing the almost 2,000-mile tall wall separating the the friend countries was one of them! D. As I was taking this video, something happened when I saw how that big, long and tall wall entered and continued into the waters of the sea. E. As I was observing the foaming, furious waves beating the rocks and the shores, an idea came to my mind: 1. Who would survive those lethal, betraying waters beyond this impossible wall? 2. How can immigration agents follow undocumented people -- weak and hungry as they are -- and be able to catch them in those waters? 3. What if these brothers and sisters crossing the frontier through these waters can actually walk on water, or escape? F. Today, our Gospel lesson is exactly about feeling and living that reality. G. It can be summarize like this: 1. Against the walls of life, against the fears and waves of our Christian life, What if we can overcome the challenges, the obstacles, and walk on water?
