This Advent season, dive into the Gospel of Luke with us as we uncover the powerful story of Mary, Elizabeth, and the miraculous births of John the Baptist and Jesus. Pastor Bob explores Mary’s courageous “Yes” to God—her willingness to be fully used in God’s plan—and what it means for us to live as modern-day God-bearers.Learn how Luke connects these stories to Old Testament prophecy, reveals the radical reversals of God’s kingdom, and shows how God’s favor rests on the unlikely, the humble, and the faithful. From the Magnificat to the radical joy in trusting God’s long view, this message inspires faith, courage, and hope in the face of uncertainty.Don’t just celebrate Christmas—understand the deep meaning of Christ’s coming and how it calls us to live with purpose, faith, and obedience today.Subscribe for more in-depth Bible teaching and our long walk through Luke!#MaryDidYouKnow #GospelOfLuke #AdventSeries #JesusIsComing #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Magnificat #GodsPlan #FaithJourney #ChristianPodcast #JohnTheBaptist #HereAmI #BiblicalStories #KingdomOfGod #SpiritualGrowth

This week on The Aldersgate Experience, we take a detour into a powerful message: Praise is Our Weapon. Using the story of King Jehoshaphat from 2 Chronicles 20, we explore how faith, prayer, fasting, and praise prepare us for the battles we face—both seen and unseen. Learn how to rely on God’s power instead of your own strength, and how persistent prayer and trust in His promises bring victory. Discover how worship can become spiritual armor, equipping you to face challenges with confidence that God has already won the ultimate victory. Join us on this journey of faith, trust, and spiritual preparation.

John Wesley called it “the grand depositum of Methodism”—the doctrine of Christian perfection, the belief that God can truly transform us into people of perfect love. Yet few doctrines are more misunderstood. In this episode of The Wesleyan Way, Pastors Bob Kaylor and Jeff Markey unpack what Wesley really meant by being “made perfect in love,” explore how grace works within us to renew the image of God, and challenge us to ask: Do we believe Jesus is more powerful than sin? Join this deep, hopeful conversation about holiness, growth, and the real meaning of salvation now—not just later.

In this episode of The Aldersgate Experience, we dive deep into the reality of sin — not just as actions we commit, but as a powerful force that shapes our hearts and our world. Why do we do what we know we shouldn’t? What does it mean to live free from sin through God’s grace? Join us as we explore original sin, the human condition, and how Christ offers true freedom and transformation.#TheWesleyanWay#WesleyanTheology#SinAndGrace#ChristianPodcast#FaithFormation#DiscipleshipJourney#JohnWesley#Sanctification#ModernFaith#SpiritualGrowthFind us:Substack: https://bobkaylor.substack.comWebsite: https://www.aldersgateyork.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AldersgateYork/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldersgateyork/Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PUdFynhtSR1yl9JRmh2Ol?si=58c25e16f19541efApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aldersgate-experience/id1761614346Aldersgate Church | 397 Tyler Run Rd. | York, PA 17403

In this episode of The Aldersgate Experience, Pastors Bob Kaylor and Jeff Markey dive deep into the meaning of the sacraments—baptism and communion—and why they’re central to our faith and worship. Together, they unpack John Wesley’s idea of “outward signs of inward grace,” explore the balance between belonging and believing, and share personal stories that bring these sacred practices to life. Whether you’re curious about why Methodists baptize infants, celebrate weekly communion, or how grace is experienced through these moments, this conversation offers a thoughtful and heartfelt look at God’s work through the sacraments.💬 Rapid-Fire Questions & Topics:Infant baptism vs. believer’s baptismWhy communion weekly mattersGrace, forgiveness, and God’s presence in the sacramentsThe role of the church in baptism and communion📌 Hashtags:#WesleyanWay #StrangelyWarmed #MethodistFaith #ChristianSacraments #BaptismAndCommunion #OutwardSignInwardGrace #MeansOfGrace #FaithInPractice #GraceAtTheTable #ChristianPodcast #FaithTalks #JesusCentered #SpiritualGrowth #BaptismMeaning #communionsunday

What does it mean to say the Bible is authoritative—and how should we read it faithfully today? In this episode of The Aldersgate Experience, Pastors Bob Kaylor and Jeff Markey explore the Wesleyan view of Scripture as a unified, God-breathed story rather than a collection of isolated verses. They discuss how context, tradition, and the Holy Spirit guide our interpretation, why Wesley called himself “a man of one book,” and how Scripture shapes our lives—not the other way around.#AldersgateExperience #WesleyanWay #AuthorityOfScripture #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #WesleyanTheology #FaithAndReason #MethodistTradition #GodsWord #biblicaltruth Find us:Substack: https://bobkaylor.substack.comWebsite: https://www.aldersgateyork.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AldersgateYork/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldersgateyork/Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PUdFynhtSR1yl9JRmh2Ol?si=58c25e16f19541efApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aldersgate-experience/id1761614346Aldersgate Church | 397 Tyler Run Rd. | York, PA 17403

In this episode of The Aldersgate Experience, Pastors Bob Kaylor and Jeff Markey explore what it means to be the Church in a culture obsessed with individualism. Drawing on Wesleyan theology, they discuss how authentic connection, accountability, and vulnerability transform faith from a private pursuit into a shared journey toward holiness. From the early “Holy Club” to today’s digital isolation, they challenge listeners to rediscover the communal nature of Christian life. The conversation invites us to move beyond religious infotainment and embrace the messy, beautiful work of growing together in grace.Links discussed in the podcast:Veritasium - Small World Paradox: https://youtu.be/CYlon2tvywA?si=ABPPFL2sCoLdppbeAgainst the Machine by Paul Kingsnorth - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/756181/against-the-machine-by-paul-kingsnorth/#WesleyanWay#AldersgateExperience#MethodistFaith#SpiritualGrowth#ChristianCommunity#ConnectionOverIsolation#SanctificationJourney#FaithAndAccountability#ChurchLife#HolyConversationFind us:Substack: https://bobkaylor.substack.comWebsite: https://www.aldersgateyork.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AldersgateYork/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldersgateyork/Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4PUdFynhtSR1yl9JRmh2Ol?si=58c25e16f19541efApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aldersgate-experience/id1761614346Aldersgate Church | 397 Tyler Run Rd. | York, PA 17403
