DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. It does not take long for you to see all the unrest that is happening in our country. I think it is because of the many voices and opinions that are being screamed at us. All of the yelling we constantly hear is unsettling our souls. It is making us angry and suspicious people.
In the gospels, Jesus warns us of the thief who sneaks in and robs us. In our case, the thief is robbing us of our humanity and our sanity. The thief is stealing away our common decency and respect. Have you ever just wanted to quiet those voices? Did you know that it is possible for you to do just that? There is another voice calling out through the anger and dissension. If we slow down and be intentional, we can hear this voice calling to us. It is the voice of the Good Shepherd. Somehow, he knows exactly what to say to our souls and we inherently recognize his voice. He is speaking peace, love, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. Can you hear him today? He is calling you by name; saying come to me, you weary soul and I will give you rest.
