This week we continue with the third message in a four-part sermon run inspired by Marcia McFee’s Reshaped worship series. This week’s message is rooted in John 12:24-25, as we explore Jesus’ surprising image of a grain of wheat falling into the earth and dying in order to multiply life.

In this second message of our Re-Formed series, we explore what it means to be changed not from the outside in, but from the inside out. Drawing from Mark 1:1–15, we reflect on John’s prophetic witness, Jesus’ baptism, and the unsettling changes happening both in the world and in our own community. As a congregation who seeks to make sense of the world we live in, we ask: Can we still believe the Spirit is at work—even in chaos? This sermon invites us to lean into the mystery, trust the transformation, and allow the Holy Spirit to re-form us with courage, tenderness, and hope.

Let’s look at Jeremiah 18:1–6 through the lens of divine transformation, reminding us that God, like a potter, is always reshaping us for good. This message calls us to embrace, rather than fear, the holy work of being re-formed, because as resurrection people, we were made for this even as we say to God, “Mold me…maybe?”

Today’s message, “Where Faith and Doubt Meet,” invites us to see the disciple Thomas not as a doubter, but as a witness to the hard, beautiful work of faith. In a world that often feels fractured and uncertain, this sermon reminds us that real resurrection meets us right in the midst of our questions and doubts. Join us as we explore how hope is born again when we dare to show up, ask the hard questions, and trust that Christ still comes close.

Today we bring you an Easter Sunday reflection unlike any other: a first-person monologue from the perspective of the angel at the empty tomb, based on Luke 24:1–12. This is not just a retelling of the resurrection story. It’s an invitation—to see yourself in the eyes of Mary, Joanna, and all who have grieved and hoped and dared to believe that love could still rise.

In the person of Jesus we are given the Divine example of how to fully and completely love one another. With a truly open heart and spirit he was moved to wash the feet of his closest companions, friends, and family. Hear Rev. A’s reflection from WUMC’s Maundy Thursday service.

This Lent, we’re journeying through a sermon series inspired by Amy-Jill Levine’s Entering the Passion of Jesus, exploring the bold risks Jesus took in his final days—through the eyes of the women who encountered him. Today we journey alongside a woman who knew both the comforts of privilege and the call of the unknown — her roman name is Junia, but many of us know her as Joanna, the wife of Chuza, steward to Herod Antipas.

She was poor, she was unseen, and in the eyes of the world, she was insignificant. But not to Jesus. Not to the One who sees beyond wealth and power, beyond status and privilege. Today, we hear her story—not just the moment she gave her last coins, but the deeper truth of what it means to belong to God when the empire says you are worth nothing.
