    Pentecost Is Kind Of "Wild Ecumenism.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Apr 16, 2024

    Lightning

    At Pentecost, the room shook and wind blew and the whole room crackled with the Holy Spirit’s electric presence. With this in mind, United Methodist theologian Albert Outler tells of a small town he once visited which had three churches in it, and each of the three churches, he said, had an ...read more

    Is It Ok To Doubt? Series

    Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024
     | 895 views

    For the doubters and skeptics, this is where you belong, right there with Thomas. Jesus didn't criticize his doubting, he invited him to actually touch him. You don't have to believe to come, this is a place where we can ask our questions. This is a place where we find Jesus to be real.

    My theme this Eastertide is the way that Jesus changed who we are AFTER the resurrection – while most of our studies are on the person Jesus BEFORE the crucifixion, what happened after is what changed us permanently. But the truth is, even those of us who call ourselves believers doubt at times. ...read more

    This Jesus Is Alive!

    Jesus is not some historical person -- He's alive today and relevant to our lives! Thomas, the skeptic, asked for unreasonable proofs of the resurrection, but Jesus proved it beyond all doubt!

    THIS JESUS IS ALIVE! John 20:19-20, 24-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Little Stinkers 1.

    Birthday Of The Church--Going Out Into The World For Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 15, 2024
     | 524 views

    Pentecost has been a big deal from the beginning, because it’s really the “birthday of the Church.”

    Pentecost Sunday 2024 There’s kind of an undogmatic understanding in the Church about the major religious festivals of the Christian year. They basically come from the writings of and through St. Paul. In first place there is what is formally called “the Triduum,” the three days preceding Easter, ...read more

    doubting leads from fear to strengthening faith

    John 20:19-31 Welcome to ‘Low Sunday,’ the first Sunday of the fifty days of Eastertide. After all the jubilation, misery, and rejoicing of last week, nothing can hold a candle to Holy Week. If you take a few seconds, you can figure out why it is called ‘Low Sunday.’ This Sunday is also called ...read more

    This morning’s message brings us behind closed doors with the disciples in those bewildering first days after Resurrection.

    The Matter of Thomas John 20:19 - 29 (NKJV) 19Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20When He had said this, He ...read more

    We have the privilege of proclaiming God’s salvation to those who are in desperate need of it. We have the privilege as a church to equip and prepare people for the mission that Jesus has for them.

    From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, we walked through the journey of Jesus from Bethany, the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, to the Garden of Gethsemane, to the trial with the religious leaders & Pilate, to His cross, His death, burial, and finally His resurrection on Easter Sunday.

    Forgiving Sins Is Also A Spiritual Gift Series

     | 780 views

    Our biggest problem can be fixed by repentance and confession. We can be healed through this charism of the Church.

    Pentecost Sunday 2023 Today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles is so striking, with its description of the Holy Spirit’s descent in the form of fire, and the resulting prayer in tongues, that it tends to overwhelm the rest of the Scriptures. So let’s look at today’s psalm 104 to ...read more

    "he Is Risen!" Now What?

    He is Risen, but we ask, “What now?” What does it mean for us and how does it impact our lives today? Is it just to be an awesome historical event and left there? The answer is no.

    HE IS RISEN! (He is Risen indeed!) That is the shouted declaration of triumph and its reaffirming response. The fact that Christ is risen is the pinnacle of our Christian faith. Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection. The Apostle Paul stated; “For what I received I passed on to you ...read more

    Jesus told Mary Magdalene not to touch him but he told disciples to touch him in this passage. It’s interesting observations. The theological implications are great. May the blessings of believing be upon all. Amen.

     | 1,327 views

    This message relates to the story of Jesus's crucifixion. It depicts the disciples, who were heartbroken and hiding in an upper room after Jesus's death, with their hopes shattered. The message conveys the excitement when Jesus appears before them after his resurrection.

    Let’s start at an obvious place for the week after Easter. The baskets are empty, the colored grass has been vacuumed up. Beautiful cards have been put away. Nice clothes are back in the closet. All that is left are a few jelly beans that no one wants to trust. Easter is over … or, is it?
