The Comfort of His Humanity and the Power of His Divinity

Title: The Comfort of His Humanity and the Power of His Divinity Speaker: Bradley Hicks Series: 2025 Sunday Sermons Date: October 12, 2025 Bible: Matthew 14:27 The sermon centers on the dual nature of Christ—his humanity and divinity—as revealed in Matthew 14, where Jesus walks on water and calms the storm. Through the lens of Jesus' emotional response to John the Baptist's death, his compassion for the crowd, and his intimate interaction with Peter, the message emphasizes that Christ is not only a distant deity but a deeply empathetic companion who shares in human sorrow, weakness, and fear. Yet, in that same moment of vulnerability, he reveals his divine power—his ability to heal, provide, and rescue, affirming that he is the only one who can meet every need, both physical and spiritual. The preacher calls believers to find comfort in Christ's relational closeness while trusting in his sovereign authority, especially in times of doubt, suffering, or uncertainty, where faith is not about perfection but about leaning into a Savior who is both intimately familiar and eternally powerful.
