Check out Second Presbyterian Church! Read 1 Timothy 1:12-17 here. Sermon excerpt, based on a conversation from John Grisham's "The Chamber:" “You know, God,” Paul might have said to God during those three days he was blind, “it seems too easy. I just say one quick prayer and all the murders and stonings I ordered and all the people I unjustly threw in prison—all of that’s forgiven.” “Why does that bother you,” God might have asked.

Sermon excerpt, based on a conversation from John Grisham's "The Chamber:"

“You know, God,” Paul might have said to God during those three days he was blind, “it seems too easy. I just say one quick prayer and all the murders and stonings I ordered and all the people I unjustly threw in prison—all of that’s forgiven.”

“Why does that bother you,” God might have asked.

“Because I’ve done some bad things, God.”

And God might have replied, “That’s what I’m here for, Paul. ‘15 The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners … just like you. I’m a God of infinite love.’”
