The following is a sermon on Luke 9:57-62, preached at Asbury Church not long after my return from the Appalachians…
I have been home for two weeks, and my time in Kentucky is starting to seem like a life time ago. I do have a handful of stories that I have promised to share, and it may be a life time before I finish them all.
It seems every time I head south there is some challenge, issue or adventure that befalls me. I am like Bilbo Baggins from the Hobbit leaving the shire for a whole world of adventures.
This trip was no different. Maybe it was an even greater adventure. Although with each passing year it gets significantly easier, it is still truly an experience akin to walking on the moon.
