GOD’S NUDGE

God’s Nudge

September 4, 2022 | Stephen Radie

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve

others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

- I Peter 4:10 (NIV)

1. Know that the Holy Spirit is with you.

“ 16  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—  17  the Spirit of truth.” - John 14:16-17a (NIV)

2. Get out of your boat.

22  Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.  23  After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,  24  and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25  Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the Lake.  26  When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27  But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28  “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29  “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.  30  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” - Matthew 14:22-31 (NIV)
