DENNIS

Good morning everyone. Stories have the power to inspire us to go beyond our limitations. For example, young men may become inspired when they hear the stories of war heroes or about their favorite football players. As a teenager, I loved hearing about the exploits of my favorite NFL tuff guys like Jack Lambert, Mark Bavaro, John Riggins, and Ronnie Lott.  In high school, I would try to emulate them on the field. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite as athletic as they were.

There is another story that has inspired countless of people for over 2,000 years, the story of Jesus Christ. It made a huge impact on the Christians in Rome. In fact, the life of the Savior of the World inspired them to rise above the pagan practices and human degradation that was so ramped in their city. It inspired them to respect their neighbors, love their enemies, and to show mercy and compassion.

In the middle of this sprawling metropolis, the Roman Christians bound themselves together regardless of their racial, ethnical, and social differences. I invite you to Central to live inspired with new purpose and motivation. I am Dennis Gossett. God bless.
