camp-meeting-croppedWe 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 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

New Sermon Series: Campmeeting

New Sermon Series ~ Campmeeting – LOST

Aug. 4:  LOST Sheep – Luke 15:1-7

The parable of the Lost Sheep is one of the most famous in stained glass.  But the story is about real issues and real difficulties in life.  All of us feel LOST at some point.  When we simply wander off and get lost it is all the worse.  Let’s see if the lost can be found this Sunday.

Aug. 11:  LOST Coin – Luke 15:8-10

A lost coin can mean a lot or not anything at all these days.  Who stoops down to even retrieve a penny anymore?  Yet the coin mentioned here has GREAT worth.  What would you do to find it?  Let’s see what happens when we lose something because of carelessness.

 

Aug. 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 here.  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.

 

Aug. 25:  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.

At 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00AM

Sunday’s Sermon, July 7, 2013

genuine-love

 

Sunday, July 7 – Judging Others/Judging Ourselves –Romans 14:1-19

What does it mean to judge someone?  Is it necessary? Is it loving?

Do we take stock in our own lives before we look at others or is it vice versa?

Let’s explore if the word judging should be in our vocabulary and if so, how do we live it?

At Pender UMC, Sunday July 7: 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 am.  The sermon archives will be available early next week.

 

 

 

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.”    (Romans 14:19)
