August 22, 2025 8/17/2025 | Dr Pamela Lightsey Methodism: Why We Do This
When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment, he summed up the law and prophets in two calls: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind — and love your neighbor as yourself. Justice work begins here. In community, we turn love into action — showing up, speaking out, and standing with those in need. #LoveYourNeighbor #LoveHeals #Matthew22 #UVC

August 10, 2025 8/3/25 | Rev Dr Pamela Lightsey | Methodism Why We Do This
Cain's question—“Am I my brother’s keeper?”—still echoes today.

John Wesley, founder of Methodism, answered with a resounding yes—especially when confronting the horrors of slavery. He called slavery “the sum of all villainies,” recognizing that to ignore the suffering of others is to deny our shared humanity.

In this story, God hears the cry of Abel’s blood—just as God hears the cries of the oppressed across time. The call is clear: we are responsible for one another.

As Methodists, as Christians, as people of faith—we are our siblings’ keepers. We are called to stand against systems that kill, exploit, and discard.

Purity culture doesn’t get the final word. God’s love is embodied—and so are you. #GospelOfOurBodies #SexIsSacred #HolyDesire #FaithAndFreedom #UVCChicago #LoveHeals

You were made in the image of God — not in spite of your body, but through it. This week, we reclaim the truth that our bodies are not mistakes to be fixed or burdens to be carried — they are good. Sacred. Wonderfully made. Come hear the good news your body’s been waiting for. 💜
