Sermons

From the Files:

It was the middle of the summer. We loaded our family in an old station wagon, the one with wood paneling down the side, and headed to Florida for a vacation. About ten miles into the trip, we heard the chant that all parents hear when they take children on vacation. "Are we there yet? How much longer?" "If you ask once more I'll tape your mouth shut forever!" You know, normal family conversation.

Then about 50 miles into the trip, our ten year old son Wes, posed a question I can never forget. "Dad, when we get to where we're going, where will we be?" Do you ever ask that question?

Our founder John Wesley said, "I want to know one thing, the way to heaven--how to land on that happy shore." WHEN I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING, I WILL BE RESURRECTED TO LIFE. So I live in the glad and glorious assurance that when I reach my final destination, disease will be conquered, pain will be eliminated, and people will live at peace forevermore.

For when I get to where I'm going

There'll be only happy tears

I will shed the sins and sorrows

I have carried all these years

And I'll leave my heart wide open

I will love and have no fear

For when I get to where I'm going

Don't cry for me down here!
