2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this show me about God?

   • Jesus reaches out immediately and catches him. What does that tell you about what happens when you try and fail?

2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

   • Peter starts sinking when he looks at the wind instead of Jesus. What do you look at when you are afraid?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • What is your "out of the boat" this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who needs somebody to reach out a hand right now?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
