DENNIS
 Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. I often wonder why some people who are caught doing wrong get so upset when they are punished for it. It is only logical that there must be something in place to hold people accountable for their actions. Have you thought about the reason why people do bad things? Well, Jesus taught that the reason was the sin. Our bad actions don’t just begin with the bad things we do. It started way before that. The Bible says that bad things start in the heart. No one can decide not to sin anymore. It just isn’t that simple. Whether it is in our actions or in our hearts, we are constantly living a life of rebellion. The faster we come to terms with the enormity of our condition, the faster we can understand our need for God’s grace. See, God’s grace is unconditional regardless of your past. He loves us as we are. It also transforms what we do and what we think about doing. God doesn’t want to leave us in the same sinful state. Even now, grace is calling you to God and inviting you into a much deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Will you accept this grace?
