DENNIS
Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor of Central United
Methodist Church.
In the bible, we are told of a young leader who is once more leading his
nation through a body of water. However, this time, circumstances are
different. They are not being pursued by an enemy. Instead, they are about
to begin pursuing theirs. In baptism, we have our very own journey through
the body of water. According to Scripture, it saves us from our enemies and
prepares us to do battle with them.
Jesus said that one of our main enemies is sin. Therefore, we should pluck it
out and cut it off from our lives. Historically, Christians called this the
“passions.” Not all passions are bad, but some of them can be influenced by
worldly corruption and even our greatest enemy Satan. So, we must go on
the inward attack.
Through the water, God grant us safe passage, we are given the weapons of
war against the wills of “passion.” All we need is faith to stand on the other
side!
Are you in need of strength? I invite you to Central to join the soldiers of
Christ who are marching toward that heavenly home. You can come to any
three of our Sunday Services: 8:30, 9:45 and 10:55. God Bless.
