JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning, the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church.

John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church, said that the Jesus movement hinged on how well we could love God and love one another. It seems that each time I log into a social media site or I read a line from the daily news, we don’t seem to be doing a really good job with loving God and one another. People seem to be angry at everyone and they choose to live divided.
I believe it is time for us to remember the teaching of Jesus and to fall in love with God and each other once again. It is time to defeat the fear that is surrounding us with the love of God and to live this out in relationship with each other. Life is better when we are connected. Let us smile at each other and show patience. Let us give a helping hand to those in need and show kindness. I encourage you today to live out the love of God to others. Remember that you are loved by God and are always welcome at Central.
