Prayer:

Why do we believe in God? Why do we have faith in the Father, the Son, and

the Holy Ghost

Salvation isn't earned but received as a gift through faith in Jesus's sacrifice,

leading to reconciliation with God, the Father.

Matthew 14: 9 - 33

And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those

who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her.

10

So he sent and had John

beheaded in prison.

11

And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl,

and she brought it to her mother.

12

Then his disciples came and took away the

body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

Feeding the Five Thousand

13

When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by

Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the

cities.

14

And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved

with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

15

When it was evening, His

disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already

late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy

themselves food.”

16

But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them

something to eat.”

17

And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

18

He said, “Bring them here to Me.”

19

Then He commanded the multitudes to sit

down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up

to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the

disciples gave to the multitudes.

20

So they all ate and were filled, and they took up

twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

21

Now those who had eaten

were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus Walks on the Sea

22

Immediately Jesus

[a]

made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him

to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

23

And when He had sent

the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now

when evening came, He was alone there.

24

But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

25

Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the

sea.

26

And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled,

saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.

27

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying,

“Be of good cheer!

It is I; do not

be afraid.”

28

And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to

You on the water.”

29

So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked

on the water to go to Jesus.

30

But when he saw

that the wind was boisterous, he

was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

31

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to

him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

32

And when they got into the boat,

the wind ceased.

33

Then those who were in the boat

came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You

are the Son of God.
