Over the next few weeks I am going to be looking at some readings from the Gospel of Matthew that coordinate with the Revised Common Lectionary for the month of August. This week I will be looking at Matthew 14:22-33.

This is the account of Jesus walking on the water and Peter's attempt to walk on water, which starts out well and gets bad. What does this account have to say to us today, especially as it relates to feelings of fear and trust in in our lives?
