I Love to Tell the Story

Jun 29, 2025    Heather Pancoast

In this summer sermon series, we explore some well-loved messages from the Psalms, our Biblical hymnbook, in conjunction with some well-loved hymns from our United Methodist hymnbook. The founders of Methodism, John and Charles Wesley, both understood the power of music and used hymns to help people connect their head, hearts, and hands with God. From our beginning, we have been a “singing people” - how will the songs of our souls translate into our work in the world on behalf of the grace-filled, Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer in whom we live?


This sermon reflects on the hymn by Katherine Hankey, "I Love to Tell the Story", hymn 156 in the United Methodist Hymnal and its basis in Psalms 40.
