Some of you may remember the old hymn with the following lyrics:
“I love to tell the story/Of unseen things above/Of Jesus and His glory/Of Jesus and His love/I love to tell the story/Because I know ’tis true/It satisfies my longing/As nothing else will do/ Chorus: I love to tell the story!/Twill be my theme in glory/To tell the old, old story/Of Jesus and His love.”
My sermon this morning is a bit out of order. Since next Sunday, the 17th is OVCF’s 17th anniversary, I am switching my sermons for the two weeks. Next week’s is from Mark 14: 1-31 and is entitled Let Me Remind You. This Sunday’s sermon is from Mark 14:43-16:15 and is entitled Tell Me the Old, Old Story.
It is going to be a recounting of the essentials of the Gospel:
Tell Me About the Trial
Tell Me About the Death
Tell Me About the Resurrection
It never hurts to hear the old, old story over again. I’d love to have you join me in person. If not, then live stream will be where you will get a chance to look at my face. 🙂 Actually, it would be better to say, “Where you can join us in worship.” If not, then I’d appreciate your prayers.
It never hurts to hear the old, old story over and over, Bill. I’ll try to catch your sermon on Sunday, but we are leaving for Oxford that day, so it’s a wait and see.
Praying!
That fact that you even watch humbles me Martha. Pray you and Danny have a safe trip. And you are right: it never hurts to hear the old, old story again and again and again.
