JOHN Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. It’s been said, “You never know enough about a situation to truly be angry.” So often we jump to conclusions, instead of looking beyond the situation at the heart of the matter. As children, we learn the Golden Rule, teaching us to be fair and nice. As adults, we now teach the next generation this same phrase. Treat others the way you want to be treated. But do you truly act this way? Or is the Golden Rule just a looming phrase and a nice ideal? Matthew 7:12 says, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” These words are building blocks of compassion and kindness. God shows us this kind of love every day. What can you do today to show an act of mercy or goodness? As Christians, it is important to treat others the way Jesus would treat them…you may be the only Jesus someone ever sees. I invite you to connect with us at Central this Sunday as we worship at 830, 945 or 1055.
