My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine; for Thee all the follies of sin I resign,My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou; if ever I loved Thee, my Jesus ‘tis now.

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me, and purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree.I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow, if ever I loved Thee, my Jesus ‘tis now.

— WILIAM FEATHERSTONE, 1864

Homilywalking with giants:

consider their life … imitate their faith "Margaret Wilson" Hebrews 11:32-40 Mr. Cooper

The Fall evening sermon series “Walking With Giants” will explore the lives and faith of some of the church’s heroes of the faith such as Augustine, Athanasius, John Newton, Amy Carmichael,

John Calvin, Billy Graham, and John L. Girardeau. Hebrews 13:7 bids us to remember those who spoke the word of life to us by “considering their life and imitating their faith.” 

While these saints were not perfect, their lives and faith hold lessons for us today.
