This fall we will be heading into a Stewardship Campaign at Nashville Methodist Church. While we could look on this season with dread, this is a reminder that everything we have is from God. Stewardship is not just about money. It's about being responsible for everything that the Lord has given us.

Extravagant generosity in our lives stems from the generosity of our Heavenly Father. 

On this episode, Pastor Luke sits down with Patrick & Katie Downing to discuss a class they recently took at Nashville Methodist Church. The class was called "Discovering God's Purpose for Your Life." It was all about learning what the purpose of spiritual gifts are and how we are to use the gifts we have been given.

During this episode you'll hear discussion and reflection on what the Downing's learned during the class and how they hope to use that going forward. You'll also hear why they believe everyone should learn their spiritual gifts to be a better member of the body of Christ.

We invite you to join their discussion, and be in prayer for this new ministry in our church.

How can the church be more supportive of adoption, adoptive parents, and adopted children?

Matthew 6 tells us "you cannot serve both God and money." But what's the context of this passage? What does that really look like? In this episode Pastors Scott and Luke sit down with Brad and Stephanie Lewis as they share their testimony and financial journey. The Lewis' share how  Financial Peace University radically changed their marriage, family, and how they view and serve the Lord. There is power and peace in understanding how to manage the gifts the Lord has blessed us with. We encourage you to listen to their testimony and join us for Financial Peace University at Nashville UMC. 

We don't spend much time thinking about what would happen if we got very sick or what the plans would be when we die. Why not? An incredible gift we could give our family and loved ones is a plan. Think about what you want to happen to you in the event of a tragedy. Write down a plan. In this episode, Pastor Scott and Pastor Luke sit down to discuss what we can do to plan for our transition to glory. If you live in Eastern North Carolina, we invite you to attend our Transition to Glory Class on June 8, 2022. Pastor Scott will be going through, step-by-step, how to prepare for that season.

The Holy Spirit is working in all of us, but are we listening? In what practical ways can we listen more to what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us? How can listening to the Holy Spirit lead to evangelism in our community?
