The Cost of Preaching Pastorally & Prophetically by Maxie Dunnam

Maxie Dunnam August 17, 2020

If we are guided by Scripture, the content of our preaching will always have aspects of the pastoral and the prophetic.

The Lord Who Heals You: Jehovah Rophe by Michelle Bauer

Michelle Bauer August 15, 2020

Is it tempting to stand back and admire God who heals, but to neglect allowing God to heal you? God doesn’t want to leave you half-done and stalled out.

The World Is Our Parish

Rob Haynes August 11, 2020

The founder of our Methodist movement, John Wesley, is often celebrated for declaring that “The World is my parish…” This quote has inspired many to serve in ministry around the world. However, most contemporary Methodist churches do not organize themselves in parishes the way Wesley’s church did. What did Wesley mean when he said this? What does it mean to see the world

A Prayer For Learners by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner August 11, 2020

Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid – You read our hearts like an open book: you see our meanings, our intentions, our knowledge, our opinions, our questions, our backstories, our wounds, and our promise. Our hearts are open to you even when wisdom seems closed to us. You

Doubts & The Mission Of Jesus by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard August 5, 2020

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Great Commission in Matthew 28. It’s a passage many know well, finding it an inspiration, a call, a light to guide the way. It’s a powerful text, one that has inspired Christians for thousands of years, so it’s not a passage usually associated with doubts. Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to

Growing Faith Through the Power of the Holy Spirit by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman August 3, 2020

Recently, I had the honor of preaching at the annual gathering of Aldersgate Renewal Ministries. What a blessing! ARM is an organization in the Wesleyan Methodist family that is committed to enabling followers of Jesus to grow through experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit. They focus their energy on personal renewal, church renewal, and pastoral renewal. It was wonderful to be

Preaching in Times of Upheaval by Maxie Dunnam

Maxie Dunnam July 27, 2020

Knowing that your preaching is limited in possible impact, don’t see proclamation as your primary witness.

Visits Through The Distance: Pastoral Presence by BJ Funk

BJ Funk July 25, 2020

Raise your hand if you are a pastor who inwardly rejoiced when hospitals closed their doors for pastoral visits because of Covid-19. If only a fleeting moment, did you whisper a sigh of relief because Covid regulations meant you did not have to (a) make an already long day even longer with an afternoon stop by the hospital before heading

Why Evangelism and Discipleship Should Never Be Separated by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman July 13, 2016

So it is with evangelism and discipleship. If we are engaged in both well, they become a seamless movement and we cross the threshold between one and the other without even realizing.

My Prayer by Linda White

Linda White July 11, 2016

Father, you have made all in your image…you love all. Help me to love all, even in the midst of such fear, hatred and strife, may I reflect you and your love. May I be a beacon of hope and life in a world spinning out of control with chaos.

Prayer, Protest & Protection: The Grace of a Lost Art by Kelcy Steele

Kelcy Steele July 8, 2016

Much of the time, officers do exactly what they are supposed to do, and for this we can be grateful.
But they are armed. And the weapons they carry can easily kill people. This means that police officers must be trained to be extraordinarily disciplined in their perceptions of situations and people, and extraordinarily restrained in their use of

Four Principles For A Healthier Short-Term Mission Experience by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore July 7, 2016

I am writing this while “on mission with Jesus in Ecuador,”* serving together with seventeen genuinely kind and faithful people from two churches in Georgia and the United Methodist seminary of Venezuela. We are being hosted by Sharon and Graham Nichols, who serve Christ through The Mission Society. Back in the day, church folk took suitcases of shoes, toys or

American Freedom Or Christian Freedom? by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner July 4, 2016

Always a lover of history, currently I’m partway through Ron Chernow’s excellent biography of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton – the book, incidentally, which son of Puerto Rican immigrants Lin-Manuel Miranda turned into the hit Broadway musical. With a decent dose of Scot in my blood, I can get into any story of a struggle for freedom easily. Why else

The (Secret) Great Commission by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman July 4, 2016

What would it look like to follow the Great Commission without freedom?

As those of us in the United States celebrate Independence Day today, it may be difficult to imagine that. How would we “go and make disciples” if our government made it illegal?

Would we disobey? Go in secret?

Those are questions facing our brothers and sisters in the

Let Us Pray by Kelcy Steele

Kelcy Steele June 29, 2016

We as a faith community must focus on how we can work to love our neighbors well, both in this and in our daily home, work, and play. This is an unspeakable tragedy and we should take extended time to mourn, to pray for the families of those murdered and injured, and to consider the depth of evil in the

What Nigerian Worship Taught Me About True Offering by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman June 29, 2016

What would worship look like if it was more about giving than getting? Less about “being fed,” and more about offering praise?

It might look like worship in Nigeria and other places in Africa, where praises are not the only thing lifted through dance and song, but tithes and offerings as well, as dancing and singing Christ followers come forward

Lost Faith And Piles Of Laundry by David Drury

David Drury June 27, 2016

I moved into my dorm room at college and unpacked a few suitcases and boxes. I took up half of the dresser and half of the closet. I had a long move-in-day to myself getting ready for classes the next morning. At nearly midnight my roommate showed up. After bringing in a few books and assorted items, he then carried in

Just How Angry Are You? by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore June 23, 2016

The Institute for Ethics at Duke University conducted an online survey of about 1,500 people as part of a project designed to measure the morality quotient of Americans. They asked people to rate how likely they’d be to do certain morally questionable things like, for instance, kicking a dog in the head. As it turns out (happily), seven of eight
