    A funeral sermon for a 79 year old man who had been afflicted with Parkinson’s disease for the last 18 years of his life, but never wavered from his faith. Perhaps my best sermon yet.

    “Pastor, I wish you could have known Virgil in his younger years, before Parkinson’s took its toll on him.” I’ve heard that said quite a bit by both Virgil’s family members and friends since I came to Audubon last fall. From the things I’ve heard from his family and others in the community, I ...read more

    You will not be remembered for the things you start but rather, for the things you finish. And the best part is, in the Christian race, you are not rewarded because you finished first – you are rewarded because you finished strong.
