    Who Do You Say That I Am?

    Podcast Title: Who Do You Say That I Am? | Anchored in Troubled Waters | Season 9 Episode 31 Podcast Description: Jesus asked His disciples what the crowds were saying about Him, but then He made the question personal: “Whom say ye that I am?” Peter answered, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” In this message, we explore the difference between public opinion and personal faith, why borrowed answers are never enough, and how everything in the Christian life rests on knowing who Jesus truly is. Alternate Podcast Description 2: The world has always had opinions about Jesus, but Jesus is not looking for the opinion of the crowd. He asks each of us personally, “Who do you say that I am?” Join us as we discover why Peter’s confession remains the foundation of every believer’s faith and why that question still demands an answer today. Alternate Podcast Description 3: At Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked the most important question ever posed: “Whom say ye that I am?” Peter answered with one of the greatest confessions in Scripture: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” This message examines the difference between borrowed faith and personal conviction, and why your answer to Jesus changes everything.

    When You Begin To Sink

    Podcast Title: When You Start to Sink | Anchored in Troubled Waters | Season 9 Episode 30 Podcast Description: Peter stepped out of the boat at the word of Jesus and began walking on the water. But when the wind captured his attention, fear took over and he began to sink. In this message, we look at faith, distraction, desperate prayer, and the hand of Christ that reaches us when our courage begins to fail. What is over our heads is still under His feet. Alternate Podcast Description 2: Peter had enough faith to step out of the boat, but the storm eventually became louder than the Savior. In Matthew 14, we see that even bold faith can struggle, short prayers can reach a strong Savior, and Jesus corrects us after He catches us, not instead of catching us. Alternate Podcast Description 3: What do you do when you obeyed Jesus, stepped out in faith, and still began to sink? This message from Matthew 14 follows Peter onto the water and reminds us that struggling faith is not abandoned faith. When the wind is loud and courage grows thin, the hand of Jesus is still within reach.

    Empty Nets

    Podcast Title: Empty Nets | Anchored in Troubled Waters | Season 9 Episode 29 Podcast Description: After fishing all night and catching nothing, Peter was ready to wash his nets and call it a day. But Jesus stepped into his boat and asked him to try one more time. In this message, we discover how God often works after our strength is gone, why “nevertheless” is one of the greatest words of faith, and how simple obedience can become the doorway to extraordinary blessing. Alternate Podcast Description 2: Peter knew the lake, knew the nets, and knew there were no fish. Then Jesus told him to launch out one more time. This message explores weary faith, trusting God’s Word above our own experience, and the miracle that waited on the other side of obedience. Alternate Podcast Description 3: Have you ever felt like you’ve worked all night and come up empty? Peter did. Yet one word from Jesus changed everything. Join us as we explore what it means to trust God when the nets are empty and discover that faith chooses His Word over our weariness.

    The Father Ran

    Podcast Title: The Father Who Ran | Anchored in Troubled Waters | Season 9 Episode 26 Podcast Description: On Father’s Day, we look at one of Scripture’s clearest pictures of a father’s heart.

    Take it upstairs

    Podcast Title: Take It Upstairs | Anchored in Troubled Waters | Season 9 Episode 25 Podcast Description: After God sustained the widow of Zarephath through famine, tragedy entered her home and her son died. Elijah took the child from her arms, carried him into the upper room, and cried unto the Lord.

When we cannot fix it downstairs, we can still take it upstairs in prayer.

What looked like the end became the place where God revealed His sustaining power.
