I didn’t preach this week at Bethany as we had the second annual MYF reunion. During this service, Reverend Bert McDade gave a wonderful message about the Saturday in between Good Friday and Easter. It was a blessing to hear this fresh word from Rev. McDade and I am very thankful for all the hard work that went into this day.

I also had the great privilege of hearing Reverend Tom Long last Thursday at Emory as a part of Candler School of Theology’s 100 year celebration during the “Prophetic Voices” conference. Rev. Long is one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard and I encourage you to take time to watch it yourself. The video can be found here, https://vimeo.com/123194865 at about 18 minutes in.

As we near Palm Sunday (and the end of Lent), I hope you find a quiet place inside to realize what we hear in Psalm 118, that God’s faithful love lasts forever. (see Psalm 118 here)
