    It was wonderful to imagine Wesley himself preaching that sermon back in the day! Maybe this will help us get back to the roots of Methodism.

    Great stuff!

    Like the preceding comment, it was exciting to imagine hearing John Wesley preach a sermon.

    The most exciting was his own testimony about the experience of how being a brand plucked from the burning made him realize that God had a special calling on his life.

    The conclusion that “Now is the Time of Salvation” is still true today.

  • Prayer of the month

    O Breath of Life,
    Come sweeping through us,
    Revive your church with life and power.
    O Breath of Life,
    Cleanse, renew us,
    And fit your church to meet this hour.

    (Bessie Porter Head–1920)
