It was a journey of some two thousand kilometers—from Jerusalem all the way back to what is modern-day Sudan. The lone traveler had come to worship at the Temple.

The harvest is ready but the laborers are few! We haven't much time left to bring the lost sheep into the Lord's fold. If we truly love him, we should be about the Father's business.
How many of you love St. Peter jokes? Here is one which I hope ties into our message for this morning. It goes like this: A man arrives at the gates of heaven. St. Peter asks, "Denomination?" The man says, "Methodist." St. Peter looks down his list, and says, "Go to ...read more
