John

Good Morning! I'm John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. There is a proverb that says “A man's words will fall and wrap themselves around him like a cloak.” What a powerful visual image that is. What if every word that we said feel and wrapped itself around us like a garment? What kind of wardrobe would we have?

Words have power and Jesus spoke loving, powerful and confident words to others and to himself. It is interesting to listen to the self-talk of other people. We tend at times to be negative, hateful, and discouraging to ourselves and then to those around us. People who succeed speak well of themselves to themselves, because they understand that their words have the power to motivate or deflate their lives.

I hope that you see yourself in a positive way today, because I assure you that Christ does. I invite you to come this Sunday and worship with us at Central UMC and to be a confident witness to your faith in Jesus Christ.
