Dr. Ken Lutgen, Jr. |
"Lost in a World Without Hope" |
Ephesians 2:11-22 |
Beliefs often separate religious people. In fact religious people
at times take horrible actions towards those who do not believe like
them. |
| July 12 |
Dr. Ken Lutgen, Jr. |
"All Things United in Christ" |
Ephesians 1:3-14 |
We
often speak of the diversity found in creation as if we were created
to be apart. Just because we are different does not mean we meant
to be apart, but that we must work harder to find ways we can come
together. |
| July 5 |
Dr. Ken Lutgen, Jr. |
"All We Need Is a King" |
2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10 |
We
often hear in especially difficult times that all we really need is
a strong leader, a king. David was anointed King and the people
believed that the hard times would now come to an end. |

Rev. Bryan Wendling |
"Life's Little Big Things" |
1 Samuel 15:34-16: 13 |
The
Prophet Samuel’s life sums up what it means to live a life of
faith. Faith is trust that God is reliable no matter what. That is
the life Samuel led. In today’s lesson Samuel goes to Bethlehem to
anoint David king and in doing so we see hints of what the
faith-filled life could be. |
| June 7 |
Dr. Jim Smith |
"You Bet Your Life" |
|
Starring Grouch Marx, it was popular TV show in your grandparents’
era. But, it’s also an ongoing fact of life. Every day of our
lives we bet our lives on something. So, we do well to understand
what that “something” is. |

Communion |
Dr. Ken Lutgen, Jr. |
"Filled With the Spirit" |
Acts 2:1-21 |
They were filled with the Spirit but to the onlookers appeared to be
drunk as they made no sense. The world often sees the Christian
Vision of a World of prosperity and peace as not making sense. |
| May 24 |
Dr. Ken Lutgen, Jr. |
"Blood Acre" |
Acts 1:15-26 |
Did
Judas’s life fill a purpose or was he simply a man with no purpose
other than to serve himself? How many innocent people die at the
hands of self serving people? |
| May 17 |
Dr. Ken Lutgen, Jr. |
"the holy catholic church" |
Acts 10:44-48 |
As
a Christian we are part of a family known as the Church. Here are
the members of our family; parents, brothers and sisters, children,
of our family bond together by the love of God. |

in action. |

"Serving our Neighbor and Sharing our Faith" |
Matthew 6:25-33 |
John Wesley believed all
that we have is a trust from God, to be used in the service of God’
purposes. To put this simply, Wesley believed we should only use
for ourselves that portion of the world’s goods that we need, and
the rest we should give away. |

| Jan 25 |
Rev. Bryan Wendling |
"The Prayer Charter" |
Matthew 7:7-12 |
John Wesley called prayer
“the grand means of drawing near to God . . . it is the breath of
our spiritual lives.” In prayer we draw close to God so that
through that relationship we might increasingly reflect God’s love
in our own lives. |

Dr. Ken Lutgen, Jr. |
"A Life Growing in Grace" |
John 8:31-38 |
Wesley saw grace as
relational in that it both enables us to enter a relationship with
God and then invites us to do so. Relationships by their very
nature involve two-way participation. Most modern Christians have
just a one-way relationship with God. |
Jan 4
Communion |
Dr. Ken Lutgen, Jr. |
"A
Hunger for God" |
Matthew 22:37-39 |
Dr. Henry Knight III
shares, “John Wesley frequently linked our happiness with our being
holy. At its heart, holiness for Wesley was simply love—loving God
and our neighbor as God loved us.” Over the course of the next two
months we will center on that holiness and the eight practices
through which we can enter into a life changing relationship with
God |
