FROM THE PASTOR

You picked a wonderful day to attend Trinity Life Center. Pam and I are gone to celebrate her sister-in-law’s 85th birthday, and for me to participate in the 65+ World Series Hardball League being held this week in Phoenix, Arizona.

But the reason why you picked a great day is because my mentor, Pastor Larry Wilson, has finally agreed to step behind the sacred desk; something so precious and holy to him that he struggles not to weep, both from the sheer joy of the task accompanied by the wonderful and fearful approach one has to have to succeed.

Larry is also a Professor and a Professional MFT Counselor. He has more letters behind his name that I have in my name! His only reluctance up until now in preaching is that, for the last 10 years, he has been guiding me through the original languages. The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, and the New Testament in Greek.

Larry Wilson speaks both languages fluently, which is exactly what a preacher of the Gospel should be able to do. The Lord has been so gracious to me in that, though I studied the original languages in Bible school, it wasn’t something I was able to grasp at a level that I could turn around and make it accessible to you.

Gratefully, the Lord brought Larry into my life, and I have picked his brain now for over a decade, asking him to give me greater insights into what the Bible is really saying when you approach it from the original language. So enjoy this rare treat! I will be soaking it in like a sponge while watching online.

Be blessed,

Pastor Randy & Pam
