- The Miracles of Calvary: The Miracle of the Earthquake | March 10, 2024
This week, we look at the Gospel of Matthew and the Miracle of the Earthquake as we continue in our Miracles of Calvary sermon series. After the veil was torn, an earthquake hit that split rock in two and graves were opened. This miracle was not a natural disaster, but a holy sign that sin had been defeated and that Jesus' death was shaking things up. When our lives seem to shake, we can remember that God is our refuge. He will shake things up but will not let US be shaken.

Julie Lewis begins a new sermon series to take us through the season of Lent. Miracles of Calvary will be a series focusing on the miracles that happened during Christ's crucifixion; these are stories that scripture mentions but that we don't frequently take a good look at and reveal what God was doing in those moments. We begin today with the Miracle of Darkness as we look at the three long hours Christ hung on the cross and...42 min

- The Miracles of Calvary: The Miracle of the Torn Veil | March 3, 2024This week, Rev. Julie Lewis looks at the time following the total darkness during Jesus' crucifixion and the moment when Jesus breathed his last breath. At this moment, the temple veil was torn from top to bottom. No human could have done this. A natural disaster wouldn't have done this either. The veil was a physical separation between the holiness of God and the sinfulness of humankind. Once Jesus died, the veil was no longer needed. We had access to God ...23 min
- Dinner With Jesus | February 11, 2024In this final message in the Dinner with Jesus sermon series, Rev. Julie Lewis shows us the ways that the world tries to tell us that God is dead. For three days after the cross, Jesus was dead, but then he rose to new life. He proves he is alive by the eating of meals - with the Emmaus pilgrims and breakfast with his disciples. We continue to eat together in Communion and in fellowship as living proof that Christ is alive in us. When we put away our notions of who to ...20 min
- Dinner with Jesus | February 4, 2024On this Communion Sunday, we reflect on the final meal that Jesus ate with the disciples. Jesus gave us this meal to share with one another until he returns to remind us of his grace and love. We are to share this meal together remembering who and whose we are that all are invited to the table. Here we find life. Here we find each other. Here we find our salvation. Here we find community as it was meant to be.For more information about Asbury UMC in Smyrna,...23 min
- Dinner with Jesus | January 14, 2024In this second installment of her Dinner with Jesus sermon series, Rev. Julie Lewis looks at the meals that Jesus shared with people during his ministry on earth. In the scripture from Luke 7, Jesus is invited to dinner by someone of high status when they are interrupted by the lowest of the low: a prostitute. This woman treats Jesus with the respect he deserves and we see that everyone is deserving of hospitality and respect, from the highest of the high to the lowest of the low....24 min
- Dinner with Jesus | January 28, 2024This week, Rev. Julie Lewis shows us how Jesus was invited to meals and how he graciously accepted those invitations. Today we look at the story of a banquet where people were invited but found a variety of excuses to not attend. In their stead, the least, the last, and the lost are welcomed so that the food and drink would not go to waste and they come willingly and joyfully. Mission and ministry are acts of hospitality in the name of Christ. If we open our homes and ...22 min
- Dinner with Jesus | January 21, 2024In the third installment of her Dinner with Jesus sermon series, Rev. Julie Lewis looks at the story of the Feeding of the 5,000 as we reveal everything going on under the surface. This story really shows us who Jesus is an what he came to do. Jesus is able to provide the people with enough food and more to spare. We find that, when we trust God to provide, we have enough to share and that in sharing we are able to make a true declaration of who Jesus really is. For mor...20 min
- Dinner with Jesus | January 7, 2024Rev. Julie Lewis is back in 2024 and kicking off with a sermon series entitled Dinner with Jesus. This series is a look at the meals that Jesus shared with people during his earthly ministry; he ate with tax collectors, prostitutes, and other people unlike who you would think that the King of Kings would be spending his time with. In this study we see the way sharing food becomes a bridge that overcomes all and helps to build connections - we will model that as we journey together...21 min
