Step Out in Faith: The Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

In this sermon, The Rev. B.J. Buracker reflects on Peter stepping out of the boat to walk toward Jesus. Faith, he reminds us, is more than belief. It is trusting Christ enough to follow, even when the way ahead feels uncertain.

When Peter becomes distracted by the wind and waves, he begins to sink, but Jesus immediately reaches out to him. Fr. B.J. reminds us that Christ does the same for us. As St. Andrew’s enters a new season of ministry, we are invited to keep our eyes on Jesus, step out in faith, and trust where he leads.
