Nowata Methodists Podcast

The 4th Sunday of Advent. The readings this Sunday were from Isaiah 7:10-16, Psalm 80, Romans 1:1-7, & Matthew 1:18-25.

This past week Pastor Jeffrey sat down with Pastor Coulter Conner, previously the youth pastor at Hillside Christian Church he is now the pastor at Christ's Church of Labette County in Altamont, Kansas. Their discussion ranges from the historic creeds of the Christian church, community, and if it is necessary in this life for a Christian to suffer for Christ.

The third Sunday of Advent 2022. The readings for this Sunday were Isaiah 35:1-10, Psalm 146, James 5:7-10, & Matthew 11:2-11

Pastor Jeffrey was able to sit down with Rev. Dr. James Dunn, the current president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University in Bartlesville Oklahoma. They talk about higher education for Nowata area youth, what OKWU has to offer that other state schools don't, and what goes into forming good people in the future. In light of today's anxieties around CRT, wokism, and ideological drift in institutions, this conversation is more interesting than one might think on first glance.

2nd Sunday of Advent. The readings this week were Isaiah 11:1-10, Psalm 72, Romans 15:4-13, & Matthew 3:1-12

1st Sunday of Advent. This week we change up the order of service and go back to the normal liturgical calendar. Our reedings for this week were Isaiah 2:1-5, Psalm 122, Romans 13:11-14, & Matthew 24:36-44.

The last section of the Book of Titus. We tackle the issue of slavery and systems in this section of the book.

In this podcast we cover the first chapter of the Book of Titus through chapter 2:8. Join us as we tackle the what could be perceived as controversial points of view in this book.

Continuing our series on early Methodist documents, Pastor Jeffrey reviews John Wesley's 'Directions for Singing.' Many might roll their eyes at the attempt to tell other people how to sing, as we today often see it as somewhat of a private affair. Even so, take a few moments to consider the reflections of John Wesley, as well as the scriptural instructions on how to sing and some reflections from other believers. It is possible that the way we sing together can be something that accomplishes powerful things?

All Saints Day, on this day we give honor to those saints that have come before us.
