These are the weekly sermons from Kelsey Memorial UMC in Corpus Christi, TX, The Sparkling City by the Sea.

Doing good means going where the need is. The need might be great, but God is greater.

The Sprit of God makes known to us how to avoid evil. In doing so, we can keep from hurting ourselves and each other.

The love of every disciple of Jesus shows the world that we belong to Christ. In Christ’s love, we have the power to overcome discord.

Jesus promises to be our shepherd. We don’t have to wander in darkness or feel lost. We have the power to live free for God’s glory and give all that we have to Jesus.

You can’t fake ministry. Sharing the gospel is about sharing yourself, too.

We live in a time when people say you’re supposed to be able to take care of yourself. But God created us to need each other.

The love that God has shared with us is eternal. The love that God allows us to share with each other also lasts forever.

Have you ever done something you knew was wrong? Something you didn’t really want to do? You did it because there’s a struggle within all of us. The good news is we don’t have to keep doing those things.
