1 Kings 19:9-18 • Elijah meets God.
Matthew 14:22-33 • Jesus walks across stormy waters.
What risks must we take as individuals and as a community? The United Church of Canada has a vision where as communities of faith we are committed to deep spirituality, bold discipleship and daring justice. We are being called to trust in God and take risks – prayerful risks that move us toward answering the call of Jesus to make a difference in the lives of others. We are being called to step out in faith even in uncertain times. Jesus says, “Do not be afraid.” Elijah finds guidance from God in his time of fear, and so shall we.
