DENNIS Good Morning, I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. On an ancient lake shore in a distant land, fishermen were casting their nets, hoping that today would be a good day. It was just like any other. The sun was shining, and the gulls were singing. Going through the motions of their trade, two sets of brothers heard a call upon their lives. There, on that distant shore, was a humbled looking man waving his arm and saying, “Follow me.” Immediately, they dropped their gear and followed. What was it about the call that made these brothers leave everything behind and follow? Well, the man’s invitation was being made directly to their hearts. It was not drowned out by the sounds of life: the waves, the gulls, or the chatter of other fishermen. With just a motion and a simple invitation, the unassuming man on the beach spoke volumes. This same humbled Lord is calling you also, saying “Follow me.” His words can speak over the distracting noises in your life. If you will listen, then you will hear the invitation that says, “Come and follow me.” I invite you to Central as we prepare ourselves to follow. God bless.
