From our topic on Sunday, I wanted to post a couple of the questions that I thought could generate some new discussions. Remember we were talking about the story of Peter walking out onto the water toward Jesus and he starts to sink (for those who want a refresher, it's Matthew 14:25-31).The guy who's in the Nooma video (Rob Bell) tells us the significance of the rabbi and the fact that the "JV team" is who Jesus calls. At which point, Rob changes the dynamic of Peter's position in the story.
Rob says, "Now I always assumed that Peter doubts Jesus. But Jesus isn't sinking! Who does Peter doubt? He doubts himself. He loses faith in himself that he can actually be like his rabbi."
The question is: How big of a role do your insecurities play in your life? Do they affect your faith?
This leads into the bigger question of: Do you believe that God believes in you?
