In Matthew 14:22-33 Jesus shows up walking across the sea in the middle of a storm. In faith, Peter steps out of the boat to come to him but is quickly scared of the wind and waves and begins to sink. In this moment of desperation he reaches out to Jesus to be saved and Jesus gives him his hand. Noel Piepgrass shares that the moral of the story is not merely the power of God over the storm, but the way he uses the storm to invoke our worship.
