DENNIS

Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church.

Have you ever known someone who did something really crazy? Like just

quit their job and start traveling around? Those who do such things know

that doing something crazy takes risk. Taking risk is in fact a part of living.

Did you know that following Jesus takes risk? When Jesus was on the earth,

many people would come from miles around just to hear him preach. There

were a lot of those people who would travel with him. These large crowds

would follow him from town to town, walking miles just to be around Jesus.

Could you imagine what their families, friends and bosses thought? It must

have seemed crazy for someone to leave everything behind to follow a man

around the country.

What these folks understood, that most others did not, is that Jesus had the

words of life. He just did not speak, but demonstrated what he spoke. It was

so powerful that it began changing people’s lives. Walking with Jesus takes

risk. He wants us to abandon ourselves by listening and learning from him.

Just like those ancient people, our lives can be changed as well. Are you

wanting to take a risk? Well then, I invite you to Central to come hear about

the man that changed the world.
