Waiting is generally something that the world does not like to do. Waiting is inconvenient and, dpeending on the source of the waiting, can be seen as some kind of affront to our personhood or perceieved as the result of incompentance or malice. Sure, there are times when the frustration of waiting is justified and worthy of challenge. But I believe that learning to wait well, no matter the reason or the season, is a spiritual discipline that contributes to emotional health, spiritual vitality, and actions that are grounded in faith. Our Advent sermon series will look at ways in which we can wait well, challenging the negaive assumptions that waiting means inaction, apathy, or a lack of passion, and moving toward waiting that is deliberate, discplined, and just.
Epiphany Sermon Series - "Jesus: Man of Mystery"
As Jesus' public ministry began, he remained a somewhat mysterious figure. He played things close to the vest and revealed things only when he was ready. So, who was he? Who IS he? You're invited to join us at Broadmeadow in this season after Epiphany as we explore "Jesus: Man of Mystery."
No Fair!
Life can be unfair. We often do not get what we believe we deserve.
For the the rest of September at Broadmeadow UMC, we'll be focusing on three passages from Matthew's Gospel that challenge our notions of fairness, and how God's idea of fairness is fortunately very different from ours.
Everyone is invited!
Get Behind Me
What does Jesus mean when he says, "Take up your cross and follow me"? Is being a follower of Jesus just saying you believe, or is there something more? We'll be talking about that this Sunday at Broadmeadow. Everyone's invited to join us!
Who Do You Say I Am?
Who do we say Jesus is? Not who does the Church say he is. Not who does the culture say he is. But who do you say Jesus is? It's a big question. We're going to talk about that at Broadmeadow this Sunday. You're invited to join us. We hope to see you there!
