DisciplesNet Worship # 42, “Faith Confronts Fear,” (Borschel 08 07 11)

Audrey Borschel draws upon her life experiences to share a message of a living "Faith that Confronts Fear." Our scripture story is from Matthew 14:22-33, of the disciple Peter who sinks after trying to join Jesus in walking on the water.
Accompanying our worship are more special gifts: the opening hymn that is an inspiring favorite to so many, "Tú has venido a la orilla (Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore." Dean Phelps sat down and played this for us to record especially for our DisciplesNet family who are encouraged to sing along.
Also, we have new photos from professional photographer Dave Alexander of Emerald Coast Reflections, who has a special way of capturing the sense of God's presence in the grandeur of nature. We are extremely grateful to Dave for donating the use of his work, and encourage our viewers to visit his website at emeraldcoastreflections.com.
DisciplesNet minister, Rahul Nirmal offers a special gift, having gotten up in the very early hours of the morning from his home in India to help us record during our studio worship hours.
And there's more…but for now, our leaders hope that you will be blessed and encouraged by attending worship this morning.
Peace and grace to you.

"They Need Not Go Away" is a lasting image in today's message from Rev. Bob Shaw on the text of Matthew 14:13-21, the "feeding of the 5000 men, plus women and children."
