JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United

Methodist Church. Let me ask you a question. How willing are you to get

into a relationship with another person for the sole purpose of connecting

them to God? This may seem like an odd question, but as a follower of Jesus,

we are directed to be people of relationships. Yet, it is so difficult to purpose

that our relationship with another person is so that they can see Christ in us

and that we can connect them to this same Jesus.

A lady told me the other day, as we were talking about growing the

community of Christ, that she didn’t know anyone that didn’t go to church.

The funny thing is I wasn’t talking about church attendance. I was talking

about relationships. It’s time that we approach sharing our faith with others

in a way that is more than seeing if we can get someone to go to our church.

Let’s try to introduce them to one that has come to give them life and hope. If

we connect them to ourselves in relationships, then we can connect them to

God. Come and connect with us at Central.
