Don't Look Back

Rev. Kirk Nave's sermon on Sterling United Methodist Church's 150th anniversary focuses on Jesus "setting his face toward Jerusalem" in Luke 9 and the challenge to look forward rather than backward. Using Satchel Page's quote, "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you," Rev. Nave urges the congregation to honor their church's history while focusing on today's mission—building relationships with neighbors of all backgrounds and sharing Christ's transformative love in their changing community.
