JOHN Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Throughout the world, millions of dollars are spent on priceless works of art. I'm always amazed at how much people will pay for one painting – some are considered virtually priceless. But what makes a masterpiece? It's not a what – it's a "who" – a master makes a masterpiece! There's a Master at work on you. Your life is a priceless work of art in the Lord’s hand. God's masterful artistry, His perfect "touch" is painting, sculpting your life day by day to create the masterpiece He envisions you to be. Every stroke of the brush; every strike of the chisel, places color and renders shape to your individual identity in Him. You can trust His craftsmanship; rely on His artistry, because not only is He the consummate Master Artist, but He loves His works. You are a beautiful masterpiece in the making, designed to portray a beautiful Master in all you do. I hope you realize that you are a work of God – created for good works to be valued, highly valued, in Eternity. I encourage to come and visit us at Central and together we can reclaim our name as a masterpiece following the way of Jesus.
