Jesus With The Pastor: What God Does With Our Dirt by Aaron Perry

Aaron Perry July 1, 2021

When I was in seminary, I often traveled long distances by bus. Greyhound used to have a $59 ticket to anywhere in North America. The price fit my budget and the timing fit my personality. I didn’t mind a long bus ride when I had a handful of books and a day and a half to dig in. But I

Kingdom People by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman June 21, 2021

Scripture Focus: God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. God blesses

Living in the In-Between by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes June 14, 2021

Our twenty-year-old son, Joshua recently secured his first apartment. He had been living in the university dormitories, but he was now excited to have a place of his own. My wife and I packed up his things with him and drove them 6 hours to his new place. When we (and all of his worldly possessions) got there, we hit

Why Did the Women Disciple the Men? by Omar Rikabi

Omar Al-Rikabi June 9, 2021

Back when it was “a different time” – in this case, just 1992 – the pastor warmed up our mens’ Bible study with, “Why did the woman cross the road…What’s she doing out of the kitchen in the first place?” Before the chuckling died down, he continued his opening act: “How do you fix a broken dishwasher…Kick her in the

Julia Foote and the Geography of Witness

Wesleyan Accent May 26, 2021

What do you know of Zanesville, Ohio? History buffs might enjoy its distinct Y-shaped bridge or explore its history as part of the Underground Railroad or recall it for its well-known river and locks. If a spiritual pilgrimage were traced across the tilts and rolls of Ohio’s farms, rivers, and valleys, Methodists might mark a gentle circle around Zanesville. It’s

Hope Is Not a Luxury: The Essential Anchor by Michelle Bauer

Michelle Bauer May 22, 2021

According to the church calendar, we are in the season of Eastertide which marks the 50 days between Easter Sunday and Pentecost. I like the idea of Easter being more than just a morning or a day but a whole season in which we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and what it means for our lives. There are many angles from which

Soul Man: The Sweet Sound of Al Green by Steve Beard

Saint Paul was converted on the Road to Damascus; Al Green was made righteous off Interstate 5 near Disneyland.

The Shape of Discipleship by Maxie Dunnam

Maxie Dunnam April 16, 2016

The intercessory life is a pattern for our interior growth in prayer that is abiding in Christ, and the outward expression of a missional Christ life in the world. It is a dynamic balance of paying attention to our personal spiritual maturity, and the call of Christ to minister as servants in the world.

Church Growth: Fruitful Or Cancer?

Wesleyan Accent April 14, 2016

Today’s post is a compelling piece written anonymously by a successful pastor. The Ideology of a Cancer Cell I rarely have those moments I would unquestioningly call, “divine.” I’ve never been one to see the fingerprints of God on everything around me. So when something happens in my life that just seems divinely orchestrated, I have to latch on

Easter’s Frayed Red Carpet by Elizabeth Moyer

Elizabeth Moyer April 13, 2016

On the day when we had the least amount of time to tend to the needs of others, we boldly said come join us.

How To Live Like Jesus Is Alive by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore April 11, 2016

I suspect sometimes that I live more out of a sense of obligation than awe — more aware that I’ve signed onto a system than that I am a servant of a holy God who has actually sapped the power out of death and sin. I need to be reminded that systems are not living, breathing things, but Jesus is.

What Are Wesleyans For? by David Drury

David Drury April 7, 2016

Evangelicals are often defined by what they are against instead of what they are for. I am a part of a sub-section of the larger Evangelical church that is more broadly called “Wesleyan.” This would include people like The Free Methodists, The Church of the Nazarene, The Salvation Army, more conservative United Methodists, and about a dozen other groups including my

Easter Living: Fear of Missing Out by Harley Scalf

Harley Scalf April 6, 2016

Over the past few months, having been to the cross, visited the empty tomb, and celebrated the Resurrection, let us now live in awareness of the sin for which we will never be crucified.

Four Lessons for the Church from Major League Baseball by Michael Smith

Michael Smith April 4, 2016

Baseball has seen its ups and downs recently While the ownership groups seem to be having their largest years of fiscal success, the sport’s popularity is fading. To respond to the changing tide of culture, Major League Baseball has tried to address their need.

An Easter Foretaste by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 28, 2016

This Easter truth is as mind-boggling and subversive today as it has been in every age; because rather than looking forward to a day when the things that make us different from others disappear, the resurrection proclaims that we look forward to an eternity in which those differences remain, but no longer divide.

Amplifying Evangelism: An Outgrowth of God’s Creative Work by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 24, 2016

It is in God’s very nature to seek out relationship, and it is this divine seeking that provides the roots for evangelism and grounds all the directives that Jesus gives us.
