What if Jesus’ “Come” is your cue to do the impossible?
Stepping Out of the Boat is a Scripture-centered, action-oriented Bible study that walks you, step by step, through Matthew 14:22–33—Peter’s storm, his step, his sinking, and his rescue—so you can trade comfort for courage and fear for faithful obedience.
What you’ll learn
Why obedience can lead you into a storm—and how to find Jesus right there
How to keep your eyes on Jesus, not the waves, when anxiety rises
The difference between waiting for calm and walking on a word
What to do when fear creeps in, and how grace catches you fast
How Jesus restores you after a stumble so you can step again
How storms become classrooms that form disciples, not just survivors
What it looks like to live a lifelong, water-walking faith
Inside the book
12 concise sessions from The Storm Before the Step to Living a Water-Walking Life
Each session includes Key Scripture, clear teaching, reflection questions, and a guided prayer
Bonus: 7-Day Personal Faith Challenge—simple, practical steps to move from belief to bold action
Benediction: “Walk Boldly, Trust Deeply, Follow Faithfully” — a pastoral sending for your next step
Perfect for
Small groups, Sunday school classes, and mentoring pairs
Personal devotion during a decision, transition, or season of fear

Why this study works
Bible-first: rooted in Matthew 14 with cross-references that deepen confidence in God’s character
Doable + practical: short readings, honest questions, and weekly “step out” actions
Grace-saturated: names both the step and the stumble—and shows the hand that holds
Back-of-book promise
You don’t need calmer waters to follow Jesus—you need a clearer view of Him. As you journey through these pages, His voice will grow louder than the wind, His presence steadier than the waves, and your heart readier to answer His call: “Come.” Step out. He won’t let you sink.
Established in 2017 under the themed scripture Acts 19:20, the Jesus Bible Foundation sprouted from a profound realization: The timeless teachings of the Bible, in our rapidly evolving digital era, risked becoming eclipsed by the relentless surge of information. In response, a committed group of scholars, theologians, and laypeople rallied together, united by a collective vision: to reintroduce the Bible's ageless wisdom into daily modern life in a way that is both accessible and profoundly relevant.
Acts 19:20 - "In this powerful way, the word of the Lord kept spreading and growing stronger."
It is the greatest pleasure to share the scriptures with you and I hope you will be blessed through them.
