In Pastor David's third sermon in the series "Try Faith", he explores the nature of faith through the analogy of stepping onto ice and the Biblical account of Peter walking on water in Matthew 14:22-33. He explains that faith isn't about how passionate we are, but rather about the trustworthiness of Jesus—like thick ice that holds you regardless of how nervous you feel stepping onto it.
Pastor David describes "hinge moments" where small acts of faith lead to dramatic life changes, sharing his own experience of choosing to leave a comfortable but unhealthy ministry position. The key, he emphasizes, is keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus amid life's storms rather than focusing on our circumstances. When Peter looked at Jesus, he walked on water; when he focused on the waves, he began to sink. Pastor David concludes with a challenge to take risky steps of faith toward Jesus, reminding us that even when we feel like we're drowning, Jesus is only an arm's length away when we pray, "Lord, save me!"
