In June of 2017, a skilled rock climber set out to conquer one of the most difficult places on earth to solo free climb - El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. In just under four hours, he performed a feat that would be unimaginable for most people. In this sermon, Charles Graby - a deacon serving in the Atlanta and Buford GA congregations, describes how Alex Honnold was able to accomplish this feat - and what spiritual lessons from the Bible can be extracted from his efforts. [Note - More information about the climber, Alex Honnold, and the task of climbing El Capitan, can be seen at the National Geographic documentary at this link - http://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/features/athletes/alex-honnold/most-dangerous-free-solo-climb-yosemite-national-park-el-capitan/ ]
