WHAT WE LEARNED
Matthew 14:22-33 tells the amazing story of Jesus not only walking on water but also his disciple Peter doing it too! When Peter gets scared and starts to sink, he calls out to Jesus, who rescues him. Every one of us needs a Rescue Man to save us too. That’s Jesus!

Answer: A big storm
2. When the disciples first saw Jesus walking to them, were they excited to see him?

3. Which disciple decided to trust Jesus? What did he ask Jesus to let him do?
Answer: Peter asked Jesus to let him walk on the water to Jesus.
4. When did Peter start to sink?

5. How was Peter rescued when he started to sink?

6. What do WE need to be rescued from?
Answer: Our sin
7. How are we rescued?
Answer: Like Peter, we need to grab onto Jesus to rescue us. We can talk to God about our sin and tell him that we can’t save ourselves. Only Jesus can save us because he died on the cross in our place.
Have you asked Jesus to rescue you from sin? God wants each of us be rescued by Jesus. He is our Rescue Man!
