- Description:
- This audio recording features a church service at Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The service proceedings include songs, the prayer of confession, the act of praise, a scripture lesson, remarks by Joseph E. Lowery on tithing (at 00:29:00), and a sermon delivered by Lowery (at 00:51:36). In his sermon, Lowery reflects on the theme of "let it begin with me" and speaks about a story from the first Book of Kings, Chapter 20 relaying a conflict between Syria and Israel. Through this biblical story, Lowery emphasizes that confronting the battles/enemies we experience in life begin with us deciding what action to take. The recording concludes with the singing of hymns and church announcements.
