For the Kids // Walk on Water
November 1, 2026
Jesus invites us to take a next step of faith. So often we miss the miracle because we are not willing to step out of the boat. Always keep your eyes on Jesus. Our response to Jesus is where we see the miracles happen, and this leads others to know and worship Jesus. Worship is our response to God for who He is and for what He has done in our lives. Will you take a next step of faith individually? What is God calling you to do? Then, will you join with His Church to step out in faith by building His Kingdom through For The Kids. Let’s do something great together for the glory of our God, so generations will say about Jesus, “Truly You are the Son of God.”
1. Jesus Calls us to Times that Grow our Faith
“Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side…” Matthew 14:22a
- Jesus had told them to get into the boat.
- When you obey Jesus, get ready; a miracle is coming!
- Jesus comes to His disciples and says, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
2. Keep Your Eyes on Jesus
“Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on water and came toward Jesus.” Matthew 14:29b
- Peter walked on water!
- If you are going to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat.
- Fear came because Peter lost his focus on Jesus.
3. Worship Jesus
“Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’” Matthew 14:33
- Jesus has all authority.
- Our greatest response to Jesus should be worship.
- The other disciples worshiped Jesus because of Peter’s step of faith.
Jesus is calling you, individually, to take a next step in faith.
And Jesus is calling us, as a church, to take a next step of faith together.
