Sermon audio from Taylorville United Methodist Church in Tuscaloosa, AL.
We believe that God is always present, which means that every moment is an opportunity to experience His grace! Scriptures: Psalm 121 and Exodus 34:29-35. Sermon from May 17, 2020.
We believe that God is always with us, and it's easy to feel that during good times, when everything seems to be going right. But what about when your strength starts to fade? Or what about when you’re just tired? You know God says that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains, but what about when you feel like you can’t even move your own tongue to pray? This week, we talk about finding God when your faith starts to weaken. -------------------- First Scripture: 21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, 22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. 25 He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.” - Exodus 14:21-25 (NIV) Second Scripture: 22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” - Matthew 14:22-33 (NIV)…
Chances are pretty good that you've never been threatened with death by blazing furnace, but you know what it means to walk through the fire! This week we look at where God is in times of danger. Sermon from May 3, 2020. Scriptures: Psalm 27:1-5 and Daniel 3:13-33.
We believe that God is with us through every situation, whether good or bad, whether easy or hard. But what about when we fall short? Is there anything we can do that's bad enough to make God leave us? Sermon from April 26, 2020.
Thankfulness is more than just writing a note — it’s about truly appreciating what’s been done. As it turns out, that’s a good starting point for faithfulness! Scriptures: 2 Kings 5:9-15 and Luke 17:11-19.
There are several times in scripture that Jesus heals people, and not just physically — the healing of Jesus is for spiritual problems too! Scriptures: Acts 19:11-18 and Mark 1:29-34.
If we’re looking for ways that God has revealed Himself, why not look at the miracles that Jesus worked? This week, we look at His first miracle and see how God uses ordinary things in extraordinary ways.
The first people invited to see the newborn Jesus weren’t kings, but shepherds. This week, we consider what we can hear in the invitation to come and see.
As we conclude our stewardship sermon series, we think about the powerful statement, “Jesus is Lord,” and what it means to make our whole lives an offering to God
What skills do you have? Has God gifted you the ability to sing? To paint? To build? Regardless of your talents, the most important question is this: how can you use them in service of the Kingdom? Scriptures: Proverb 22:29 and Matthew 25:14-30. Sermon from 11/10/2019.
When we think about generosity, we mostly think about giving away money. But stewardship is about so much more than financial donations -- it's about how we use all of the resources we've been blessed with! We start this series on generosity by talking about how we can use our time well in service of the Kingdom of God. Scriptures: Mark 13:28-37 and Colossians 4:2-6. Sermon from 11/3/2019.…
Resisting temptations in our lives is important, but it isn't the end. The apostles didn't just resist demons as they travelled -- they cast them out wherever they found them! We're called to have an outward faith that fights for good in the world by rejecting evil. Scriptures: Acts 16:16-21 and Romans 12:9-21. Sermon from 10/27/2019.…
There is evil in our world, and you don't have to look far to see it -- just turn on the news and you'll see stories of violence and tragedy. How can the Church stand against those forces of wickedness, and how can we, with the power of Jesus Christ, resist the temptations in our own lives? Scriptures: John 10:7-13 and James 4:1-7. Sermon from 10/20/2019.…
Since the earliest days of the Church, Christian community has been built around celebrating Holy Communion. Transformation happens when we gather at the Lord's Table! This week, we talk about the ways that regularly receiving the sacrament of Communion can help you experience the renewing grace of Jesus Christ. Scriptures: 2 Kings 2:19-22 and Mark 14:22-25. Sermon from 10/6/2019.…
Christian fellowship is such an important part of our faith, but it can be hard to know exactly what that looks like. This week, we talk about building and maintaining Christian community in service of God’s Kingdom. Scriptures: Matthew 18:15-20 and Galatians 6:1-11.
Of all the common spiritual disciplines, fasting is perhaps the least popular and least discussed, yet it's found all throughout the Bible! This week we're talking about how fasting can be incorporated into your life, how it can bring renewal, and how it's sometimes good to be a little uncomfortable. Scriptures: Joel 2:12-15 and Luke 4:1-4. Sermon from 9/22/2019.…
There's something special about coming together with other people to praise the Lord, and worshipping regularly can be a refreshing and uplifting practice. This week, we talk about how we can take worship beyond the sanctuary and into our relationships, communities, and every part of our lives.
