"Faith Journey - When The Waves Hit" by Tom Tennefoss 
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 98
CONNECT:
What was different between the first and second time?
(The idea to convey is that the first time, the youth were just stumbling around in the dark. The second time they had help, but there were still uncertain moments.)

EXPLORE THE BIBLE:
Read Matthew 14:22-33. After reading the scripture, have each youth do one of three things: 1) write a poem or monologue of what is going on in Peter’s mind from the moment he asks to meet Jesus, through the sinking, to the rescue; 2) draw cartoons of each of the separate scenes; 3) create a modern-day skit that tells the same story.
Ask youth to share what they created.

APPLY:
Discuss:
• How are Peter’s waves and the blindfolds similar?
(At times in our lives it is easy to focus and follow Jesus, but there are other times when we feel the roll of the waves of life. It is easy to stumble around and lose our focus.)
• What are some of the waves that come up in life?
• What are some of the ways we can deal with these waves?
