Pea Ridge UMC Sermon

It is the 5th Sunday after the Epiphany. This week, Rev. Shannon Blosser looks at John 5:1-18. In the sermon, he talks about the healing of the man on the Sabbath and how it violated the interpretation of the Sabbath law. He reflects on why we continue to do things if they are not leading to new life in Christ.

In this week's sermon, Rev. Shannon Blosser focuses on John 4:1-26. It is the story of Jesus engaging a Samaritan woman at the well. The sermon reflects on the nature of the conversation, its topic of living water through Christ, and how Jesus calls us to share the invitation with those we often exclude.

In this week's sermon, Rev. Shannon Blosser looks at the context surrounding John 3:16. It is the most well-known verse of Scripture, yet perhaps also misunderstood. Rev. Shannon discusses what the context tells us of how God came not to judge the world, but to share love and grace with every person.

We continue our look through the Gospel of John with John 2:13-22. It is the story of Jesus cleansing the Temple. Rev. Shannon looks at the story by wondering what Jesus might be saying to us today.

It's Baptism of the Lord Sunday! Rev. Shannon Blosser continues our look at the Gospel of John by examining John 2:1-12. This week's sermon focuses on the abundant love of God's grace through Christ.

It's Epiphany Sunday! We start off a new year by looking at John 1:35-51. In this week's sermon, Rev. Shannon Blosser focuses on the journey of discipleship. He says followers of Christ are called to be part of the journey as disciples, but also to invite others to see Christ for themselves.

We continue our "Christmas Movies" Advent sermon series by examining the story of Joseph through the lens of Ebenezer Scrooge. Rev. Shannon Blosser talks about how both were discouraged with life. They both experienced visions from God that enabled them to experience the Christmas story. He also talks about how when we've heard the story it calls us to take action.

Do you love Christmas movies? We do, too! Our Advent sermon series looks at some of our favorite Christmas movies and how they can inspire us to reflect upon our relationship with Christ.
