January 27, 2008
Theme: Wesleyan understanding Scripture and faith in
conjunction with reason, tradition and experience.
WORSHIP PREPARATION THOUGHT: “…Reason cannot produce faith. Although it is always consistent with reason, yet reason cannot produce faith, in the scriptural sense of the word. Faith, according to Scripture, is ‘an evidence,' or conviction, ‘of things not seen.' ” John Wesley
