Love Where You Go (3 of 4)
Series: Love Where You Live
Jim Perdue
Matthew 28:19-20
Intro/Attention
We’re in a sermon series on Sundays called, Love Where You Live. We’re talking about what it means to love our neighbors and the nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ in simple, practical, and compelling ways. This is so much more than a sermon series. It’s a movement across our entire church and community. We are mobilizing you to impact your neighbors and the nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In his book he shows that vision is why the Wright brothers succeeded in being the first to build an airplane that could fly. It is a very interesting story, for there was another person who set out to build an airplane at the same time, and he was much better funded. His name was Samuel Pierpont Langley, and he was seemingly ‘‘armed with every ingredient for success.’’ Langley was a professor at Harvard and senior officer at the Smithsonian. He was given a grant of $50,000 from the War Department (which is many million in today’s dollars) and assembled a team of some of the best talent of the day. Further, the press followed his every move as the nation closely followed his st ...
