March 23. Give up the Enemies Within Luke 11:37-52
Are we really willing to look at what’s inside? Coming clean with ourselves? That’s what the cross asks of us and Lent is calling us to do.

Joy is the GIFT that is given to all the world by Jesus. A promise made not only in his birth but also in His living. But do we really take the joy, live in the joy and share the joy?
As Christmas is only a few days away is it really “Joy To The World?”
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” (John 15:9-11)

| Sermon Series ~ Campmeeting – LOST |
| We return to a part of our heritage as Methodists, the Campmeeting. It will be a time to sing the old hymns, enjoy the upbeat worship and hear the Gospel preached that will help those who are lost and wandering in our community.
Sermon on August 25: The LOST Brother – Luke 15:25-32
We normally look at the lost as being those outside the church. But what about the lost brothers. Those within our fellowship and yet still are lost. How do we minister to them and what good news do we have for them? Let’s see this Sunday.
“And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.” (Luke 15:31)

Sermon on August 18: LOST Son – Luke 15:11-24
This parable is second only to the Good Samaritan in familiarity. It is because at one time or another we have all been there. People get lost as well. Most of the time it is our own choice. What happens when we are lost? How do we get home? Let’s see this Sunday.
“For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.” Luke 15:24
