Good morning everyone. I believe that every person has a story to tell. Stories are powerful. They can make a huge impact on individuals and on societies. Through stories legends are born, heroes are made, and traditions are started. They can change the direction of a person’s life. They can even change someone’s outlook. We can often find motivation when we recall the accounts of a certain person’s life and go on to do the impossible.
This is kind of impact the church at Rome in Paul’s day was making on a lot of people. He writes, “Your faith is being reported all over the world.” What made their story so widespread was not the heroic exploits of Rome’s gladiators, their philosophical schools, their cultural status or political influence. It wasn’t any of those things. What made the church in Rome’s story so powerful was their faith in Jesus Christ and how it had impacted their lives.
The people of Rome were making a huge impact on the world, because they coupled their story with the story of God. I am Dennis Gossett for Central United Methodist Church inviting you to come share your story with us.
