This featured sermon comes from Sunday, August 8, 2021. There's something about food that says, "I love you." And food is a central way that God says, "I love you." When we hear the Bread of Life discourse from the Gospel of John, most people think of communion and the lord's supper. But John makes reference to food throughout the gospel as he references Jesus as the living bread. So what does Jesus mean when he says, “I am the Bread of Life?” He means that we are not satisfied spiritually unless we know Jesus; we are not spiritually satisfied unless we have Jesus in our lives. Jesus is the bread of life. It's that food which nourishes us and gives us eternal life. 

Gospel Lesson: John 6: 35, 41-51

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, August 1, 2021. This week, guest preacher Nancy Reid tells us about the fairness of life. Sometimes life just isn't fair. But when life isn't fair and we need to be heard, we also need to remember to listen. This will help us to ensure that fairness is not confused with justice. Justice is different. We might need to accept fairness, but we must fight for justice. And the parable of the day laborers is a perfect illustration.

Nancy Reid is an Evansville, IN native and currently lives near the University of Evansville. She retired from Central United Methodist Church as Director of Family Ministries. Nancy continues to worship at Central. She has two grown daughters and five grandchildren.

Gospel Lesson: Matthew 20: 1-16

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, July 25, 2021. Pastor Randy tells us about the rise and downward spiral of the great King David, the sins he committed, and his confession. And David's story is the human story. Even after all of our giftedness and the ways God has empowered us to do his will on earth. We have that tendency to grasp and to take. When all we need for our joy and happiness is the gift that we already have. The good news is that we aren't left in our guilt, but we are called to repentance. And we are forgiven.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, July 18, 2021. Taken. Blessed. Broken. Given. Pastor Randy's message today deals with those four words. What God says about Jesus, He says it about you. You are my son. You are my daughter. You are the be loved. It is critically important that we understand and own this. It is critically important that we don’t just receive it intellectually in our minds, but that we accept it in our hearts that we are the children of God every bit as much as Jesus is a son of God. You are the beloved. 

Just as Jesus took the bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it, Jesus is taken, blessed, broken and given. And just as Jesus is, you are taken, blessed, broken, and given for the benefit of the world.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, July 11, 2021. In today's story from the book of Mark, he uses the literary device of a flashback. When Herod Antipas, the son of King Herod, heard about Jesus and all that he was doing he wondered, "Who is this?" Antipas thought it could be John the Baptist resurrected from the dead as he had ordered his beheading. Mark then flashes back to that event, which foreshadows the eventual fate of Jesus Christ.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, July 4, 2021. Have you ever stopped to think how you got here? What has brought you to this message? You ended up here because what is described in today's gospel lesson. You are here because someone shared the word with you. They came on the authority of Jesus. He authorized the first disciples to go out and spread the word and birth the church. Peter (which means rock) was the leader of the disciples and was one of the first leaders of the church. He was the foundation and was authorized by Jesus to spread the word. You are authorized to spread the word.  Whatever you think disqualifies you as a disciple or as a leader does not apply. Because if Rocky (Peter) can do it, so can you.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, June 27, 2021. In this sermon, Pastor Randy recounts the tale of Jairus and the Bleeding Woman. Jairus came to Jesus, pleading with Him to come lay His hands on his only daughter, who was near death. He humbled himself before Jesus, falling down at His feet. On the way to heal Jairus' daughter, a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years came up behind Jesus and touched the hem of his robe. When she did this, the bleeding stopped, she was healed and the woman fell to the feet of Jesus.

The same is true for us if we are going to encounter Jesus. We encounter Jesus on our knees. We encounter Jesus on our knees when we fall to the feet of Jesus. That's where that meeting begins. Jesus effects the ultimate healing, here and now -- and for eternity.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, June 13, 2021. Today’s Gospel reading features the final two stories pointing to the reign of God in the collection found in this chapter of Mark. One turns on the everyday mystery of growing seed (4:26-29), and the other about the mustard plant shrieks with exaggeration and incongruity (4:30-32). Both parables are used to explain "the kingdom of God" and how God's word can be planted to produce love for the world.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, June 6, 2021. Jesus -- by his life, by his death, and his resurrection -- has won that battle. But Jesus had much opposition. And his own family thought he was crazy. Jesus felt it was necessary to leave his family for a greater cause. As a Christian family, we are here as brother and sisters in Christ. As a family to work together for a greater cause. To identify evil where ever it is and to challenge evil whatever form it takes, whatever the risk might be -- much like Jesus did.

This featured sermon comes from Sunday, May 30, 2021. The trinity, according to the apostle Paul, is relational -- Father, Son, Holy Spirt -- and we are a part of that relationship as children of God. For all that are lead by the spirit of God are children of God. And as children of God, we are adopted by his spirit and we inherit the kingdom of God.
