Faith empowers, liberates
removes the chains, the weights,
the shackles on their feet,
the spirits of their lives
Enabling the faithful
emboldening them
to leave the familiar
the comfortable, stretch, grow
move out in faith
into the new, the unknown

Romans 4:13-25 & Hebrews 11:1-10
based on the sermon, “Hearing Faith”, by
the Reverend Orin D. Watson, retired ordained
elder with the Illinois Great Rivers Conference
of the United Methodist Church, a pastor for over
60 years, and a wonderful witness to faith
