2010 02 07 Emmanuel -Going Up the Mountain

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:26:00 GMT

Like the disciples we don't alway feel like walking up a high mountain, but Jesus so full of Grace wants us to follow him. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it because it leads to God's presence.

01 31 01 Emmanuel -Celebrating Others' AH-HA

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:26:26 GMT

Have we grown to expect the negative. Jesus proclaimed the "Good News" right now - not in the future. We are already living the everlasting life with a transition at some point. As Christians we should be celebrating the ultimate AH-HA of Jesus.

2010 01 24 Emmanuel - Inviting to Your AH-HA

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 21:20:15 GMT

Give yourself the opportunity to find your AH-HA moments within the Church, and when you do; share your moments with others through invitation. Don't let cynicism stop you from sharing your excitement with others.

2010 01 10 Emannuel - AH-HA Moments

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 21:55:05 GMT

In the season of Epiphany or AHA moments we find we always have another step to take to keep moving forward in our walk with God. We should never be content or complacent. We are never called to quit, but to see what may be ahead and take that next step forward.

2010 01 03 Emmanuel - Why Would Lords Leap?

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 20:52:44 GMT

Authority of a new king can cause people to react in different ways. In order to move forward in your Christian walk what steps are you willing to take? Are you willing to submit to the authority of God or justify your inactions while becoming stagnant in you walk.

2009 12 27 Emmanuel - The Cost of Three French Hens

Emmanuel UMC — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:33:26 GMT

Is Jesus missing in the Christmas Exhale? Like Mary and Joseph we need to search for Jesus in the Church. Take a step forward in faith development, and try what God is calling us to do. Find a way to embrace Faith, Hope and Love, with activity and productivity going into the new year.

2009 12 13 Emmanuel - Are We There Yet? (Part 3)

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:23:25 GMT

Who are we going to take with us on the journey to prepare us for the destination? By God's Grace we are chosen long before we choose God. Advent is just the beginning. Anyone can go along. Who will we invite to go on the journey with us? Be ready for those who will seek out the manager.

2009 12 06 Emmanuel - Are We There Yet (Part 2)

Emmanuel UMC — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:13:42 GMT

As we sit in our comfortable seats in the sanctuary we must never forget that we are not at a place that has perfect justice in the world. We are called by Jesus to make it right. We are more than just one small church. We make up the United Methodists and together we can pool our resources so there is a little more justice and hope in a world that has much injustice. We are called to help in the global mission along with other churches, and we can try to make it right.

2009 11 29 Emmanuel - Are We There Yet? (Part 1 of 3)

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:17:50 GMT

Before all the Christmas hype the waiting was for a new way of life. The destination was Jesus, our rescuer. It is the job of the Church to keep us focused on our destination. Don't get distracted from where hope lives by the depression, anxiety, and despair of the season. The joy is being rescued.

2009 11 22 Emmanuel - Living Out of Gratitude for Time

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:15:35 GMT

We can treat time as an opportunity or a burden. If we prioritize time, focus on relationships, and let relationships guide our tasks we can go to bed with a full heart.

2009 11 08 - Living Out Of Gratitude of Wealth

Emmanuel UMC — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:45:22 GMT

We are so blessed to have the wealth that we have. Every person in our Church today is wealthier than 98 percent of the world, so we need to tithe and give back to God out of gratitude for his blessings.

2009 11 01 Emmanuel - Pass It On

Emmanuel UMC — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:01:53 GMT

Who played a part in connecting you to Jesus? This is the day we remember those who connected us to God. Now we consider opportunities to pursue others, and pass it on.

2009-10-18 - The Delicate Nature of Children

Emmanuel UMC — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:37:56 GMT

What is our attitude toward children. What does our community feel about children, and where does the Church fit in, and finally why is a strong children's ministry important.

2009-10-11 Compationate Care

Emmanuel UMC — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:17:09 GMT

Identify those who want to be part of the Church and lift them up in prayer, and look for those that have fallen out of the circle to fulfill the purpose of the Church.
