Sunday Worship – April 25, 2021 (Fourth Sunday of Easter)

Last Sunday I spoke about reading the Bible in new ways. This week, using some handwritten notes in my mother’s Bibles as a guide, I want to talk about the value of reading the Bible in some old ways, particularly as a source of comfort in hard times, as a trusted friend teaching us that mercy and goodness are meant to be our traveling companions.
