  • Integrity in Ministry | Josh Landen

    Send us Fan Mail

    This sermon examines the intricate dynamics between the Apostle Paul and the Corinthian church as seen in 2 Corinthians 1:12 to 2:13. The Apostle Paul discusses his sincere intentions and the integrity of his ministry, emphasizing clarity in communication rooted in God's grace. The historical context reveals misunderstandings regarding his travel plans, motivating his decision to withhold visits to spare the church further pain. Paul addresses accusations about his reliability, defending his integrity tied to Christ's promises.

    As he navigates emotional challenges, Paul highlights the interplay of love and joy within the church, urging forgiveness as crucial for spiritual health. He encourages the Corinthians to reflect on their responses to conflict, advocating for grace over judgment. We're empowered to embody love, forgiveness, and reconciliation, reminding both the Corinthian church and modern congregations of their mission to live out Christ's grace in fostering unity.

  • Get to Know: Bradley Anderson, Director of Worship

    Send us Fan Mail

    Before you hear Bradley Anderson lead worship, we wanted you to hear his story.

    In this conversation, we sit down with Christ Methodist’s new Director of Worship to talk about the moments that shaped him—from growing up in rural West Virginia, to falling in love with music at a young age, to saying yes to a calling that has taken him across the country and deep into the life of the Church.

    Along the way, Bradley reflects on why music matters in worship, how art points us to the Creator, and the responsibility that comes with leading others into the presence of God. You’ll also hear about handbells (yes, really), baseball loyalties, meaningful mentors, and the quiet ways God confirms His calling at just the right time.

    This interview isn’t about a résumé, but about the heart, faith, and story behind the leadership. Whether you’re part of the choir, the congregation, or just getting to know Christ Methodist, this is an invitation to get to know Bradley a little better.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether God is listening, or why it feels like He’s slow to respond, Jesus tells one story that flips the entire question on its head. In this sermon, we learn that persistent prayer isn’t about wearing God down; it’s about not losing heart in a world that can slowly pollute your spirit.

  • The Shape of God's Call (WND Spring '26)

    Send us Fan Mail

    In our WND Spring '26 kick-off night, CMC Missions Pastor Nathan Cook introduces the semester's theme of calling through the life of Moses in Exodus. He presents the MAPS method—Meditate, Memorize, Apply, Pray, and Share—while unveiling a new Bible reading plan for congregants. Weekly explorations of Moses' story aim to deepen understanding of personal calling and facilitate focused discussions.

    Cook emphasizes that God often chooses those perceived as weak to fulfill His purposes, inviting participants to reflect on their own readiness to respond. The session concludes with a prayer and prompts for small group discussions, fostering spiritual growth and community mission.
