AKRON'S LAST SERVICE

Lord, I believe.  Help me overcome my unbelief, (Mark 9:24).

For the record: My last service at the First Church of Christ, Akron, IA was October 4th, 2015.   My last sermon was The Distinct Differences Between Faith and Unbelief.  Hebrews 11:6 and Mark 9:24 were my texts.

I do feel sorrow at the closing of the church.  Looking back, there is one thing I didn't do that I should have done and that is to ask negative people not to serve in leadership positions or even to cease coming to church.  Leaders who lack faith are infectious--it is contagious to the whole congregation.  A post-mortem of the Akron Church of Christ is indicative of this.

Our Father's Love,
Tom
