Sermon Summary: “In My Mistakes”

Pastor Phil unpacks Matthew 14:22–33, where Peter steps onto stormy waters at Jesus’ invitation and begins to sink when his focus shifts from Christ to the wind and waves. We discover:

- Storms reveal doubt but also unveil Jesus’ immediate rescue.

- Public failures sting most when shame grips us before friends, family, and even our Savior.

- Our first response in failure must be a cry for help—“Lord, save me”—not self-reliance.

- Jesus not only delivers us but gently restores our faith with truth.

- Through Peter’s story, failure transforms into testimony, showcasing Christ’s unending grace.
