Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows reflects on the heart of communion: remembering Christ’s sacrifice with gratitude, receiving his grace honestly, and sharing his love. His World Communion Sunday message invites us to carry that love into the week through one prayer, one person, and one act of love.
Our work is about more than a paycheck. Through Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard, Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows reminds us that God gives dignity to our work, permission to rest, and salvation through grace.
Jesus calls us to help others take one step closer to Him through faithful prayer, Christlike love, patient listening, and consistent living. We plant and water the seeds, trusting God alone to bring spiritual growth.
Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows reminds us that while national freedom is a blessing worth thanking God for, the deepest freedom is found only in Jesus Christ. In Christ, we are called to stand firm, live free from old chains, and follow the Spirit into a freedom that lasts forever.
In “More Than a Meal,” Rev. Dr. Gordon V. Barrows reminds us that Holy Communion is more than a routine observance. The bread remembers, the cup proclaims, and the heart examines as we pause to receive “the gospel in our hands” with reverence, gratitude, and renewed faith.
