Dr. Jamal H. Bryant – IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME, JUST WATCH ! – Sunday 19th, October 2025

The sermon by Dr. Jamal H. Bryant uses the biblical account of Peter walking on water in Matthew 14:26-28 to encourage the congregation to take risks and act on faith rather than merely watching others succeed. He draws a parallel between the disciples who stayed in the boat and 200,000 women who watched Madam C.J. Walker achieve success but did not replicate her model, emphasizing that witnessing results should motivate action. Dr. Bryant reinforces his message by citing authors like C.S. Lewis and Daniel Kahneman, who discuss the relationship between risk, faith, and the human tendency to overestimate potential loss. The main theme is that “Jesus is in the risk,” urging listeners to step out of their comfort zone and into uncertain opportunities for God’s blessing, concluding with the mantra, “If you don’t believe me, just watch.”
