    What distractions keep you from being an effective witness for Jesus Christ? One of the chief distractions is focusing on the minor differences between us, instead of building each other up in love. Paul takes this topic head-on in Romans 14.

    We’ve been talking about making ourselves available to become like God and be used by God in his Great Story. Have you ever had an important task to do—a paper to write, an assignment at work to complete, a check book that needs to be balanced? As you set yourself to that task, the phone rings, you ...read more

    The past two weeks we have been studying the fifteen characteristics of love that are listed in I Cor. 13. We have covered the first seven. These are challenging!

    Jesus prays in John 17—not just for the disciples beside Him, but for us, those who would come to believe through their witness. That’s real love. Not temporary. Not performative. Real love is legacy love. Transformative love. Love that acts and lasts.

    Sermon Title: “Real Love… Talking About That Real Love” Scripture: John 17:20–26 (The Message) Occasion: Cumberland UMC, 1st Sunday in June 2025 The Message 20-23 I’m praying not only for them But also for those who will believe in me Because of them and their witness about me.

    Every Christian has at least 3 fathers...their biological/legal father, the Father and church fathers. Thsi sermon explores what it means to be loved by the Father, how to relate to our earthly fathers and what it means to be a Godly father.

    Someone once said Any fool can be a Father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy!! Another person says A father carries pictures where his money used to be. Mark Twain said When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I ...read more

    Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Mentally Ill Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 5,155 views

    If we love the mentally ill, we won't judge them, blame them or suggest that they are simply suffering through a spiritual battle. If we love them, we will help, we will listen, we will accept them.

    A few weeks ago we discussed what it means to speak the truth in love and how we do so with unbelievers and how we love those who embrace immorality. Today we're going to continue to speak the truth in love for another group of folks that we don't talk about much. This is what we want to discuss ...read more

    God gives us the resources to face the uncertain times we may face. Paul's brief word to Timothy gives us insight into how we can face challenges from our health, our financial situation, or our culture. The three key terms in the text provide the key.

    Staying Steady in Unsteady Times 2 Timothy 2:7 For years now, I’ve met almost every Thursday for lunch with a couple other pastors. We usually talk about all kinds of important things. We discuss Biblical and theological issues. We discuss the state of the church in America. We discuss ...read more

    The ultimate judge of a person’s character is their ability to exceed expectations with little recognition from others or when praise is not given. The Bible is filled with unsung heroes of the faith whose names may be obscure to us but to God they are His heroes of the faith.

    We are just weeks away from the presidential election, and I know there are many of you who agree with me that I wish it were already over!

    Faith: Believing is Seeing Introduction: Hope motivates us to keep going and not give up. Without hope we don’t want to do anything.
