Congrats Luke! This is Luke's fifth Helmet of the 2014/15 Btln Season! It was Jonathan and Luke at the end, like it has been so many times this year! Luke pulled off the win, taking his fifth Helmet!
This week we played Handball. I haven't played goal or defense in Handball yet this year because Tyson, Stephen, Ben and Noah have been playing these positions all year. Tyson wasn't around this week so I had to step in. I forgot how much abuse the goalie takes in Handball! My team had the early 5-2 lead but Ben's team battled back to take a 9-6 lead! The momentum swung back in my team's favour, we tied the game 13-13. My team managed to complete the comeback winning 15-13! It has been a while since my team has won, the abuse was worth it!
In Bible study we looked at a couple of stories about Peter. (Matthew 14:22-33, John 21:4-8)
Matthew 14:25-33 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Peter actually climbs out of the boat in a storm and walks to Jesus on the water! Peter was doing good until he took his eyes off of Jesus. Once Peter noticed the wind and the waves he began to sink. The same could be said for anyone one of us. When we take our eyes off of Jesus and start to worry about the storms of life we will also sink! Jesus picked Peter up and helped him into the boat when he began to doubt. Jesus will do the same for us, even when we begin to doubt!
Peter did get out of the boat for Jesus. He faltered after he climbed out, but he did climb out. The other eleven disciples did not leave there seats. How many of us would have climbed out of the boat? Peter loved Jesus, that was why he was willing to do some crazy things for Jesus. Will we be willing to do crazy things (by the world's standards) for Jesus? Will we get out of the boat for Jesus?
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
THE CAPTAIN
