How Church Planting Relies On The Power Of Prayer by John Freed

John Freed April 12, 2021

After my wife and I planted and established a Wesleyan congregation in the Indianapolis area, we shifted gears toward a different mode of reaching people for Jesus. Church planting continued to be our heart, so as a ministry team, we accepted the opportunity to serve as Directors of Church Multiplication for the Great Lakes Region District of The Wesleyan Church.

The Crowded Road To Emmaus by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes April 8, 2021

Not long ago, a friend shared with me how a series of unexpected difficulties impacted her life. She couldn’t understand how these things could happen to someone like her. She said she believed in God, but was feeling doubtful that God was concerned, or even aware, of her problems and this led her to really question God’s love in these

Crisis of Calling by Kim Reisman

World Methodist Evangelism March 22, 2021

In 1996, WME launched the Order of the FLAME, an annual gathering for young clergy. The goal of the Order was to instill the DNA of evangelism into young clergy leaders. Our prayer was that these young leaders would recognize that evangelism is not a separate or specialized emphasis, but a foundational element in all aspects of ministry. The name

Annuals Or Perennials – The Flash Or The Long Haul? by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 22, 2021

Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 15:16-20 (The Message) If corpses can’t be raised, then Christ wasn’t, because he was indeed dead. And if Christ weren’t raised, then all you’re doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever. It’s even worse for those who died hoping in Christ and resurrection because they’re already in their graves. If all we

When Flawed Humans Follow Jesus by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman March 10, 2021

The apostle Peter is one of my favorite people in the Bible. He reminds me of me. Following Jesus is not always easy for me; from the very beginning, Peter seems to have experienced a similar sense of struggling as he sought to follow. Peter was a searcher with a good heart. He stumbles but tries his very best to

Where Is Our Leadership Leading? by James Petticrew

James Petticrew March 3, 2021

Do you ever think about where your leadership is leading? Winston Churchill once commented that, “we shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” Having been the pastor of a congregation which met in a barn of an Art Nouveau Gothic church building, I really understand what he meant. Yet something else also shapes how we function as the church: our

Celtic Christianity And The Coloring Craze by Tammie Grimm

Tammie Grimm January 30, 2017

Chances are, you or someone you know gave or received a coloring book for adults in the last year. With titles as catchy as “Color Me Stress Free” or “The Art of Relaxation,” the coloring craze has swept the nation. Whether the book contains images of floral gardens, mandalas or other graphic patterns, the idea behind coloring therapy is to

Is Sin Necessary To Know Jesus? Why It Matters by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner January 26, 2017

“Jesus has a body but the Father and Spirit do not. Discuss.” One of my acquaintances posted this on social networking recently, provoking a number of responses. One person wondered if Christ had always had physical form. The discussion spun and doubled back, spiraled and swung. And, as it happens, it matters. Frequently theology – especially Trinitarian theology – is

Suicide And The Enemy Of Our Souls by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore January 25, 2017

Yet another acquaintance lost his life to depression over the holidays. Such loss leaves everyone devastated on multiple levels. When devastations like suicide drop into our lives, we’re left with far more questions than answers, not to mention the guilt and so often, such a sense of powerlessness. Stretching to make sense of a tragic event, we tend to grab

Spirit Nudges: Winston Worrell’s Life of Listening by Kim Reisman

World Methodist Evangelism January 18, 2017

God’s preferred method of interacting with us is to use particular people at particular times, usually to deliver a particular message.

Visible Tokens: Communion through a Chain Link Fence by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 16, 2017

Every month, on the day the gate opens, the Methodist Church is present – on both sides of the wall. There is conversation. There is prayer.

And there is Holy Communion.

Be Careful Little Tongue What You Say by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard January 15, 2017

We had a funny moment here in our house the other night. My oldest was filling out a form to take the ACT in the coming weeks. She’s only in the 7th grade, but I like that they start taking it early. She was filling out the form and she called me into the living room. When I got there, she

Kodak, Hirsch, and the Future of the Church by James Petticrew

James Petticrew January 11, 2017

I doubt there is a more used and less understood word in the contemporary church than “missional.” Missional is not about being better at being Kodak in a digital photograph world.

Everything That Is Hurt: St Symeon by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 11, 2017

And everything that is hurt, everything
That seemed to us dark, harsh, shameful,
Maimed, ugly, irreparably damaged
Is in Him transformed.

Unknown Gods by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman January 9, 2017

The question remains. Do we really know the High God? How would our lives change if we really understood the fact that the God made real in Jesus Christ – the God of the world – loves each tribe and nation equally? How would that understanding change how we looked at other tribes and clans – even in our own

How To Pray When Your Prayer Life Is On The Rocks by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore January 9, 2017

J. C. Albert has to be one of the greatest followers of Jesus I’ve ever met. I met him in India in 2012. He was the most open, loving, friendly guy and he had these wonderful stories to tell of adventures with Jesus. He has visited and shared the good news of Jesus Christ in nearly 3,000 tribal villages in
