    Loving God

    True love for God demonstrates itself when we exalt the savior (not ourselves) and give everything we have.

    We must first love ourselves before we can love others. Looking at our friends should help us define who we are but not at the expense of ourselves.

    A message exploring the importance of wholehearted and holistic worship of Jesus Christ and how our image of Him is sometimes incorrect.

    * Review: Where We Began ? We are studying the ways in which we shrink (in our own minds) the person of Jesus, from the robust, loving God that He truly is. ?

    Blessed Are The Poor Widows

    God measures giving not by what we give, but by what we keep for ourselves. He measures the gift by the sacrifice involved. That is why Jesus valued the widow’s gift. She sacrificed her well-being in order to show her love for God.

    When I was preparing my message for today, I came across a story about a little boy who went to church one Sunday morning to get out of the cold. He had been trying to sell newspapers, but no one had passed by. He entered the church, hoping to pass an hour unnoticed in the back row. The minister ...read more

    Jesus ends His public ministry with three key principles: God’s love commands us to love our neighbors; He sees every action we do (don't be a Pharisee); giving sacrificially is what God requires of us, even if it means giving all we have.

    Questions and Answers Mark 12:28-44 - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” - Jesus’ teachings, while difficult for some to deal with, are always timely -- God always allows us to hear from Him at just the right time - This morning we have two things ...read more

    The stories of the two widows provide for us to understand and practice the spiritual discipline of giving. We serve a giving God, we are transformed through giving and giving brings balance and harmony in our lives.

    Givers trust in God, rather than in themselves; they are focused outward. Takers have not learned to trust in God and focus on their own needs.

    Anybody remember the televangelist scandals of the 80’s? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts and his highly publicized plea for - what was it, $8 million? - to keep God from striking him dead.

    Like the widow in our Gospel today, she is our spiritual mentor standing there on the margins. Not afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

    On the first day of a Bible study at a suburban parish, the participants introduced themselves and described what ministries they participated in at the church. The group was filled with active, engaged parishioners. There were lectors, singers, pro-life volunteers, and many more. But one ...read more

    Everything She Had: A Life That Matters Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Nov 6, 2021
     | 2,666 views

    The first attribute of a life that matters that we will examine in this series of sermons this month is generosity. Generosity, as reflected in our gospel text this week, is about how we hold the stuff of this life lightly, even as we hold people and Christ tightly.

    A well-known hymn that captures this idea of generosity is “Take My Life, and Let It Be,” 399 in The United Methodist Hymnal. The middle verse often catches us singing with our fingers crossed: “Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.” In this text of the widow’s mite, we need to ...read more
