Pastor Josh Rhone preaches on November 20, 2022, at Zion Church, a United Methodist congregation, in York, Pennsylvania.

Pastor Josh Rhone preaches on November 6, 2022, at Zion Church, a United Methodist congregation, in York, Pennsylvania. This weekend Pastor Josh preaches from Luke 6.20-31, a passage in which Jesus talks to his disciples about blessing. "Blessed are..." Jesus declares. However, the blessed, the blessing, and the benefits are extended to those who hunger; those who are poor; and those who weep. As Pastor Josh says in his message: "Someone once said to me, 'That sounds like a lot of blessed frustration!'" On this All Saints and Souls Sunday, as we remember those who have gone before us and finished their course in faith, we ask: Is it blessed frustration? Or, Can blessing be found as we weep and as we remember? Join us for this weekend's message.

Pastor Josh Rhone preaches on October 23, 2022, at Zion Church, a United Methodist congregation, in York, Pennsylvania. This weekend Pastor Josh preaches from Luke 18.9-14, a passage in which Jesus tells a parable about a self-righteous religious leader and an ashamed, looking-only-at-his-shoes tax collector. One prays only about and/or to himself. The other stands at a distant and won't even lift his head. One serves as an example of faith. One pushes and/or directs us to faith.

Pastor Josh Rhone speaks on October 2, 2022, at Zion Church, a United Methodist congregation, in York, Pennsylvania. This weekend Pastor Josh preaches from Luke 17.5-10, a passage in which Jesus' disciples come to him and ask that he "increase [their] faith." It was a request that made sense. A request rooted, quite possibly, in their circumstances. Quite possibly, we, too, have reason to request increased faith. It could be health worries, concerns stemming from the news, economic frustrations –– whatever it is, each of us have a reason (or two or three) as to why we want and/or need our faith to increase. Yet, today, Jesus reminds us that only a small amount of faith is needed. A little bit of faith will do. This is comforting to those who are worn out. This is good news to those who are exasperated. Join us for this important conversation!
