Today we continue with our short series, “Faith In Action,” where we’re looking at 3 different ways we can live our faith in the world. The United Methodist Church began as a movement dedicated to “scriptural holiness,” to live not just saying
The United Methodist Church began as a movement dedicated to “scriptural holiness,” to live a life dedicated to loving God and loving our neighbor. Our faith is not simply what we believe in our own hearts and minds, but it is something that mo
Each gospel has a main theme when telling the story of Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection. In the gospel of John, the theme is choice— we have the choice whether to receive God’s love or not. To acknowledge Jesus as God enfleshed.
Today we continue our worship series, “Climate + Faith.” Our goal in this series is to look past partisan politics to recognize why valuing and caring for God’s creation is fundamentally an issue of faith. We all breathe the same air, drink
Following Jesus involves the sometimes difficult and painful process of opening up—transforming from being turned inward in self-absorption to being turned outward in love and service.It doesn’t mean sacrificing to the detriment of ourselves,
Humanity’s “dominion” or “rule” over creation is not a right, entitling us to do whatever we wish with creation. Rather, it’s a responsibility to manage and care for all of God’s creation just as God would, to the very best of our ability.Rig
In virtually every transformative movement in human history – the abolitionist movement against slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, the movements for women’s suffrage, labor protections, the list goes on – in each of these cases, people of fait
Throughout Lent, we’ve learned about our own faith journeys as we’ve learned from the life and faith of the disciple Peter. We’ve watched as Peter dropped his nets to follow Jesus; trusted Jesus enough to step out of the boat and walk on water
On this Palm Sunday, we are invited to think about what kind of king we're looking for in Jesus. Do you have the courage to say “I love you,” to this Jesus? A king of compassion and God’s justice—of God’s Truth and Love?
In Peter, we often see ourselves—someone who is both steadfast and unsteady, a dear friend and a betrayer, a follower and a wanderer. Someone who loves Jesus with all his heart, and struggles at the same time.
This coming week, I challenge you to be mindful of the ways you’re clinging and fixating on “what you know to be true” and missing God’s bigger truth. How might it feel to release your grip, and follow God into the unknown?”
our series is titled “Wandering Heart.” We are studying the faith journey of the disciple Peter, and connecting that with the lyrics of the hymn “Come Thou Fount.” So to set the stage, we’re going to be singing “Come Thou Fount” each Sunday. If
As a new disciple, perhaps Peter wants to prove himself. Boldly, inthe middle of a storm, Peter steps out of the boat to join Jesus who is walking on top of the waves. He, too, walks on water until the wind shakes his trust and he begins to si
This Lenten season—these 40 days leading to Easter—we are going to focus on the life and faith of Peter. After Jesus, he is the most frequently mentioned individual in the Gospels and New Testament. He is a consistent presence throughout Jesus’
As we close out this series on living out our faith, may this story of Eutychus and the early church remind us that our journeys are not linear and that living in faith looks different, depending on the situation and time of our life. People do
"How often do we underestimate someone—assume that they don’t have something valuable to share because they’re too young, not the right gender, too old, not educated enough, not wearing the right clothes, their skin is too dark, or they have an
Faces of Our Faith: Joseph of Aramathea by BrecksvilleUMC
I don’t know about you, but even in situations that are far less stressful than imminent war and oppression, I forget to turn to God first for guidance and comfort. Of course, I eventually go to God, but first on the list might be Google, or wo
So as we begin 2024, we’re going to reflect on 6 stories of regular folks, who are often overlooked in our biblical narratives. We’ll dig deep into their worlds, entering their stories with curiosity, opened to what they might teach us about li
Today we begin a new worship series, entitled “Faces of Our Faith.” So often when we gather together, we talk about the heroes of our faith—those well-known names of people in scripture we admire and wish to emulate: Moses, Jesus, Mary, Paul…B
We are on the precipice of a new beginning. Tomorrow begins a new year: 2024—and what if rather than thinking “new year, new you!” We settle into our belovedness?
On the third Sunday of Advent, we lean into joy and the power of paying attention and being amazed.
Holding one another’s joy in the midst of weariness is one way that our weary world can rejoice.
It’s important to acknowledge our grief. To acknowledge our weariness and feelings of hopelessness. To name them and honor them. Otherwise, they can overwhelm us or even paralyze us.
Our English word dynamite comes from the Greek word, dunamis. In the New Testament, dunamis describes the supernatural, resurrection power of God’s Spirit that broke into the world not only at Jesus’ resurrection, but again and again throughout
