From the Pulpit

Thirty years of sermons from Rev. Jerry M. James — United Methodist minister, storyteller, and faithful guide to congregations across South Carolina.

“Faith is not the absence of doubt — it is the decision to act in spite of it. And that decision, made again and again, is what shapes a life.”
To Finish Is To Win · August 16, 1998 · Dickson Memorial
