DENNIS Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. When a person begins their journey towards God, they soon realize how holy He truly is. And when we begin to recognize this fact, we also recognize our own sinful nature. This can be a difficult journey for us, at first. Hard travel can wear a person out to a point it is almost impossible to take another step. When we come to the knowledge of God, we also come to the knowledge of all of our errors and sinful rebellions. Just when we begin to internalize that there is no hope for us, we then encounter Jesus who is like the Good Samaritan from the Bible story. He is the one who gets down from his horse and approaches us as we lie in the ditch of despair. Without us having to ask, Jesus pours wine and oil on our open wounds and begins to bandage them. Then he unexpectedly places us on his own horse and leads us to the great inn so we can rest and heal. Is your life leaving you beaten up and battered? Are you constantly troubled by past mistakes and errors? If so, I want to invite you to Central where together we will seek out the healer of our souls. God Bless.
