Leaders' Guide: Walk on Water

Based on the award-winning best-seller by John Ortberg, "If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat" invites you to consider the incredible potential that awaits you outside your comfort zones. The story in Matthew 14, where Jesus invites Peter to walk on water, serves as a powerful metaphor for the call to greater faith, power-filled deeds, and a new way of knowing God.

Through six sessions that include video clips and group discussions, this ZondervanGroupware™ resource helps your group answer Christ's call. You will discover how to discern God's unique calling on your life, transcend fear, risk faith, manage failure, and trust God. The leader's guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions to maximize interaction, support, and insights within your group, with most of the preparation done for you.

Walking on water means facing our fears and choosing not to let fear have the last word. It means discovering and embracing the unique calling of God on our lives, and experiencing the power of God to accomplish what we would not be capable of doing on our own. "Lord, if it's you, tell me to come to you on the water," Simon Peter requested, and Jesus' invitation to walk on water is for us all.

The If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat kit includes a 90-minute VHS and DVD, a leader's guide, a participant's guide, and the hardcover book. ZondervanGroupware™ delivers personal spiritual growth through compelling biblical content, minimal preparation time, proven learning techniques, and meaningful interaction in groups of any size and setting.

Don't miss the adventure of your life. Step out of the boat and onto the water, where the incredible potential of your faith can be unleashed. Relate the story in Matthew 14 to your own life and embrace the call to greater faith, power-filled deeds, and a deeper relationship with God.
