• Why we fly
  • Why we fear
    • Too challenging.
      • God’s big blessings require a big effort (I Timothy 4:10).
      • What we should fear is losing our birthright because we were not brave enough to claim it (Hebrews 4:1-3).
    • Too different
      • Getting comfortable in our successes is a reason for change, not inertia (Deuteronomy 32:11).
      • God pushes us to excel, but He is there to catch us when we falter.
  • Jesus says, “Come”
    • It’s possible: Jesus wouldn’t ask something of us we could not deliver (Matthew 14:28-29).
    • It’s taxing: Jesus will put you to work if you come to Him (Mark 1:17).
    • It’s costly: He calls it “a pearl of great price” with reason (Matthew 13:45-46).
    • It’s rewarding: The rest He provides (Matthew 11:28) is worth the effort.
  • Jesus will save
    • We rob ourselves of “walk on water” moments because we doubt His power to see us through (Matthew 14:30-31).
    • Jesus will pick us up so we can try again (Philippians 1:6).
  • Jesus can calm the sea
    • Jesus may remove our problem, or he may just empower us to deal with it (Philippians 1:12-14).
    • Either way, no storm can separate us from Jesus (Romans 8:38-39).
    • He will shake our house for us today if we ask.
