Jesus at the Lakeshore:
In the Storm
I got stuck on Peter’s reply in the story of Jesus walking on water. First, I was taken back by “order me to come to you on the water.” Then the “if it’s you” struck me.
The idea of walking on water goes beyond where I see my amount of faith often. That would not have been my request if I was on that boat in a storm, seeing what I think is an apparition. If I was wondering if it was truly God, I would ask something like “tell me what number I am thinking of.”
Oh, to be able to ask like Peter asked, despite his fear and his doubts, just to ask God to do something big and let me participate in that. Where do we need to take that step of faith? As individuals? As a church?
Come on Sunday at 9:30 to worship the One who walks on water and invites us to do the same!

JUMC Outreach Mission of the Month for August 2026 is
Capital City Rescue Mission
Our JUMC Mission of the Month for August 2026 is Capital City Rescue Mission, a Christian organization which has been serving the community of Albany, NY since 1949 (77 years) with Homeless Services and Recovery Programs! The Mission has been privately supported since its inception and does not receive any city, state or federal funding. They strive to serve by offering compassion, God’s love, and hope to the street-weary homeless who feel hopeless.
As a part of their Homeless Services, they provide food, clothing, and shelter, including a chapel, a health clinic and a learning center for men, women and their children.
As a part of their holistic Recovery Programs, they offer a free nine-month Christian residential addiction recovery and rehabilitation program to help men looking for a fresh start to get back on their feet and become contributing members to society. To help support women and children, the fastest growing segment of homelessness, they offer free, year-long Christian transitional recovery programs, where women and children find safety and healing from trauma, abuse, and domestic violence.
