WHO OR WHAT IS IN THE CENTER OF YOUR LIFE?

Handout for Sermon: WHO IS IN THE CENTER?                                                                                    October 16th, 2022, Manchester, TN 9:30 a.m.

Introduction:  What if I said, “you are the center of the universe?” “That everything and everyone revolves around YOU!” There is something about us putting ourselves as the center of everything. Everything revolves around us and our schedule, wishes and dreams.

Illustration of Geo-centrism.  For about 5000 years humanity believed this.

Mankind used to think that the earth and mankind are at the center of the universe. All the planets revolve around the earth. As if we held it all together and they all exist for us. They believed it and it was NOT true.
