Matthew 14 22:36
3 choices
1. Jesus tells disciples to go to the boat... They didn’t have to but they chose to because they had complete trust in their best friend. Expect to be able to trust friends.


2. Peter trusted Jesus he could walk on water... I wouldn’t!

3. Jesus chose to spend time with his father like we saw in video clip... He might not want to but he thought it was the right thing to do.

- He chose to follow his father’s every instruction
Why... Because he TRUSTED his father... I trust my father...

My dad influences a lot if not most of my choices.

I don’t really like doing what I’m told by him
He is my Role Model... Good?
The only difference is God never really commented on how bad his choice of clothes was or make the comment of ‘You dress yourself this morning?’
Everything the same especially i love being in the presence of my father. Becuase i love him like Jesus loved his Father

4. How did Jesus spend time...
By praying/ being in the presence of God
- Jesus always changed his prayers... I think our prayers are mostly focused on us
- Discussion in Landmark what prayer was; Asking, Thanking and saying sorry for ourselves, friends and people we don’t know.
- Jesus did all of that



5. The choices we make
I feel they are to focus on us not others... We don’t really think of anyone else in our choice

Choice- God is way more than powerful enough to make us like robots doing all his commands walking round blessing every mineral, plant, animal or person. But because he loves us and trusts us he gave us a chance to decide for ourselves.
This is why there is suffering and evil.. Some people choose to just go against god 
My Challenge to you is this week ask god what he wants you to do.
Chose your choices wisely!
