Peter Walks on Water

Day 1- 01 THE STORY

Did you know that Jesus walked on water? He walked from the shore to His disciples, who were in a boat in the middle of the sea. Peter saw Him and wanted to walk on water to Jesus.
Read Matthew 14:22-31. Draw a picture of Peter walking on water.

Day 2- 02 THE WITNESS

It took a lot of faith in God for Peter to step out of the boat and take the first step on water.
Read Matthew 14:22-31 again
What did Peter do that caused him to fall?
Sometimes we take our eyes off of Jesus and look at the things around us instead.
Peter was walking on water but when he stopped and looked at the wind and storm, he fell. He fell because he was worried about the storm, and he took his eyes of Jesus. The good news is that Jesus was there to save him.
