West End United Methodist Church

An Open Invitation

Speakers:Rev. Dr. Carol Cavin-Dillon
Topics:Sunday service

Today’s reading is from the last chapter of Revelation, including the final two verses, and are thus the last words in the entire Bible.  Manuscripts of Revelation disagree on the last verse, some saying, “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints,” others read, “. . . be with the saints,” and others, “. . . be with all.”   Carol gives examples from various scriptures of God’s love for all, and she uses John Wesley’s ministry as an example.  We must receive that truth that all are given God’s grace, and then we must live our lives accepting and believing that we, ourselves, are loved, and then we must turn outward to minister to others, including all.  Our journey of a lifetime is working to proclaim God’s love for all.   (NOTE: The video begins with the Children’s Moment, but once it starts you can scroll back to the beginning of the service if you want.  The entire service is videoed.)
