Pursuing Jesus

As communicators of the Gospel, we begin by having a relationship with Jesus, seek to grow in our relationship with Jesus, let people into our lives, and love the people we're communicating with.

In the eyes of Jesus, having wealth is dangerous to our souls. If possible, how can we do it well? (This message features Albion Hall singing If I Were a Rich Man)

How can we learn to listen to the right voices? Looking at how Eve & Adam handled things in Genesis 3, we get some ideas.

How do we keep love strong when the flowers are dead and the candy boxes are empty? Jesus gives us some clues.

What are some ways we can deal with conflict in a Christian manner?

Keeping the church united in the face of cultural challenges and changes is really hard to do. We get some ideas on how to do this from Jesus' prayer in John 17 and from the Jerusalem Council described in Acts 15.

Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Paul said, "There is, therefore, no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." And yet so many of us walk around weighed down with chains of condemnation. Today is a day of freedom! Drop your chains! Let Jesus free you!

We face windows of opportunity - times when we're faced with momentous decisions and a limited time to act. Will we listen to God? Will we trust God?

For over 200 years Methodists have been asking each other "How is it with your soul? or "How does your soul prosper?" These questions help us pay attention to where we are in relation to God and where God is leading us in life. Looking at the Fruit of the Spirit - and the fruits of the flesh - is one way of mapping our answer to these questions.

For almost 300 years Methodists have been asking (and answering) questions like "How is it with your soul?" or "How does your soul prosper?" We're on a journey with God, and wrestling with this question helps us on our way.
