Grace and peace,Last Sunday was amazing! It was my first baptism where when I asked the person, “Do you desire to be baptized into Christ?" They responded for themself, "Yes I do."
The rite of baptism for this day was paired with the gospel that told of the time when Jesus called Peter out of the boat and he walked on the water. That is often overlooked detail in the text. Peter DID walk on water! That was, until, he took his eye off Jesus and noticed the wind and storm that was raging all around him.
One might say Living Waters is headed into a storm of change. Listen to the lesson in the text. Don't take your eye off Jesus. Remember your baptismal call and keep walking in faith and trust.
Peace,
Pastor JJ
