St. John's United Methodist Church - Turnersville NJ

Your faith lines up with science and history. Actual historical facts that are recorded when Jesus died on the cross. These events have a deeper meaning than just a weather event. Mathew is writing to a mainly Jewish audience. He shares more details and facts to speak to his audience. God breaks through the unhealthy patterns that we have and has the ability to change those patterns to be what we truly need.

Join us as we being this 7 week sermon series leading up to Easter. There were so many historically documented events that were, in fact, miraculous. We hope you join us each week to hear about these events and as we discuss the most miraculous, inspiring day in history.

Words Have Power - final message in this series about how we talk to ourselves. Does the Holy Spirit have full access to every aspect of your life? 

Anger has a way of bringing out the worst in people and if we are honest, with ourselves. God calls us to be quick to listen and slow to speak. Everyone needs to be heard & understood. 

Is it TRUE? Is it NECESSARY? Is it KIND? Is it HELPFUL?

Ephesians 4:29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 

Difficult conversations are just that... difficult. 5 ways to handle difficult conversations 

• It's not all about you
• Balance grace &  truth
• Stay on task
• Apologize for your part
• Be someone worth talking to

Your biggest regrets and deepest hurts most likely come from words. Jesus wants so much more for us than what was said to us in the past.

Work to build a tender heart and thick skin. 

What you say matters to others makes a difference each and every day. How you use your words can uplift or tear down. Join us as we go through this important sermon series as we learn to speak life affirming words but also accept the truth and love that is spoken into our lives from the creator of the world. 

It is really interesting that we naturally want to reset in January however, not everything changes when the calendar changes. Our jobs are most likely the same. Our grades are still as we left them in late December. Our credit report is the same, or hopefully it will be after the Christmas season. 

God doesn't change. He is always there for you, no matter what the previous year held and no matter what 2020 will look like.
