New Testament Bible Study Matthew 14:22-33

Who was Peter? How are you like Peter? Did Peter have faith in Jesus? Do you have faith in Jesus? What made Peter sink? What are things that take your eyes/ focus off of Jesus? What did Jesus do when Peter began to sink? Are there times you need Jesus to rescue you?

Jesus rescues those who have faith in Him even if it is little.

Peter stepped out on to the water and trusted in Jesus strength and not on his own strength. Has Jesus called you to do things based on His strength and not your own? Did you doubt that Jesus could use you?

Remember that Jesus will rescue those who have faith in Him even when they doubt Him and He will use your faith to accomplish great things. If only for a minute, Peter DID walk on water through the strength of Jesus.

Old Testament Bible Study Genesis 50:20-21

Was Joseph angry with his brothers? Have you ever had anyone do something mean to you? Have you ever thought that God could use what that mean person did to you for something greater?

God never promised us that bad things won’t happen to us, but he does promise to rescue and protect us when those things happen. He even uses those bad things to bring glory to Him. Also, God’s plan doesn’t end when He rescues you. He wants you to share that experience with others to show them how great God is.
