- Description:
- This audio recording features two worship services on January 22, 1978 and January 29, 1978 at Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. This audio recording features musical performances by a choir ensemble and children's choir, scripture readings, and a sermon by Joseph E. Lowery. At 00:05:00, Lowery delivers a sermon about being grateful for our blessings instead of "begrudging others' blessings" because God gives His grace and love to everyone no matter people's situations, sins, or years of service to God. Lowery emphasizes rather than being envious of other people getting hired for jobs, look to God for employment to do God's work. At approximately 00:32:00, the recording switches to audio of a separate worship service. Joseph E. Lowery (at 00:38:00) gives a sermon about acknowledging weaknesses and laughing through mistakes and pain, being grateful for people and not taking anyone for granted, and being close to God in preparation for death. This audio recording concludes with the chorus singing "One More Time". Audio note: Inconsistent volume levels throughout recording playback.
