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

The Young Adult Crisis by Cole Bodkin

Cole Bodkin August 13, 2015

Both Wesley and Whitfield were tremendous preachers, who were fully capable of gathering great crowds. Many came to faith as a result of their preaching. Wesley, however, knew that consistent and intentional discipleship was essential if the Wesleyan movement were to survive. Whitfield neglected this, and as a result his people were like “a rope of sand.”

The Power of Student Prayer by Jim Lo

Jim Lo August 12, 2015

One has to be willing to enter the silence of God to experience His spectacular power.

How Do You Feel About God’s Will? by Danny Morris

Danny Morris August 10, 2015

“God’s will is the greatest gift we can receive under any circumstance.” If this is true, shall we tap into the infinite wisdom of God, or shall we “pool our ignorance” and go it alone? We have been discerning God’s will all of our lives: Some of us have spiritual intuition; we attend corporate worship. Consider the multiple choices you

Aaron Neville’s Road to Redemption by Steve Beard

steve.beard August 5, 2015

“I knew I needed to make my transformation, needed to get back to the place where I was a little boy who believed in the goodness of God and power of prayer,” he remembers. He called out to God. He prayed with tenacity as he climbed up the steps of Saint Ann’s Shrine in New Orleans on his knees. He

When You Are Embattled by Otis McMillan

Otis McMillan August 3, 2015

You will face situations in your life that will leave you uncertain as to what actions you should take. In some circumstances, there will be no one that can offer sound counsel. The key is to know that if you ask, God will respond. He has the right answer for every situation, do not hesitate to inquire.

I Am The Bread Of Life by Maxie Dunnam

It is absurd to apologize for mystery.

Loving Our Communities: A Heroin Epidemic Prayer Vigil by Roz Picardo

Roz Picardo July 30, 2015

Testimonies were shared of life transformation by folks in recovery who moved from a life of brokenness to blessing. The evening culminated with the group going outside in the parking lot, clasping hands, sharing names of lives personally affected by heroin, and praying in unison the Lord’s Prayer.

I Pledge Allegiance to… Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten Son, Our Lord by Tom Fuerst

Tom Fuerst July 29, 2015

By claiming that the church is “one,” we announce that the church throughout time and space (that is, geographic location…i.e. nations) is united, not by some abstracted idea of freedom, but by the Holy Spirit who liberates us from the claims of human structures and governments.

Why You Don’t Have To Be Anxious by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard July 27, 2015

I mentioned in my sermon here at St. Matthew’s that I really love the book of Psalms. They are honest, they are beautiful and they speak to the heart, and come from the heart. They really are some of the most powerful words on all the scripture. So, often when I am reading the texts for each day, my eyes are drawn to whatever

The Dismembered Body of Christ by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner July 25, 2015

I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the
