  • 8/12/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ The Call of Joy
    Ever feel that you have been trying so hard to live a life of blessing in the midst of hardship and sadness – so hard to answer God’s call on your life no matter what obstacles arise and things – but you just never seem to get a break? Hard not to check out isn’t it? Hard not to go back to the way things used to be– life seemed so easy then (even when we kno […]
  • 8/5/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ The Call to Serve
    When people are preparing to die to their lives in this world, they often speak their most important words and often take very significant actions – all those things they want us to remember when they are no longer with them. That night in the upper room as Christ and His disciples ate their last meal together this side of the cross, John 13 reminds us of th […]
  • 7/29/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ The Call that Troubles
    Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the ability to act in the presence of fear.’ Sometimes we are called by God in ways that might make us afraid – call us to change our mind – from the fear we have of what will happen when others find out we are wrong about something we were so sure of, to the fear of what will happen to us if we unreasonably put ours […]
  • 7/22/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Called to Stand
    Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. His most memorable quote is a good reflection point as we consider the call to stand as spelled out in this week’s sermon from the book of Esther.   First they came for the S […]
  • 7/15/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Impossible Call
    The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” […]
  • 7/8/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ First Call
    Did you know that even though God calls us each to different opportunities within our lives, each and every one of us is initially born to live out the ‘first call.’ It is a call that is sorely needed in our world – now like never before. It is a call that was ‘in the beginning’ and continues on today and into the future. What is this first call? How are we […]
  • 7/1/18, Rev. Dr. Catharine Guest ~ Call
    People are always talking about being called…..or not called…..to do things. It’s an expression that is tossed around a lot: and just as often misused to express preferences or to avoid unpleasant tasks. “I feel called to go to Hawaii" "I don’t feel called to be part of the community trash pickup." If I can sing, so I must be called to Broadwa […]
  • 6/24/18, Pastors Jay and Dan ~ One More Comment We'd Like to Make...
    As Dan and Jay complete their pastoral ministries at Pender Church this Sunday, they have chosen to have a dialogue with each other as the sermon. The scriptural text for the dialogue will be the end of the second chapter of Acts, as well as other scriptures which are a part of the dialogue. The dialogue will be mostly serious, and will be facilitated by our […]
  • 6/17/18, Thom Jones ~ Change and Serenity
    Thom Jones preached at the 8:15 service Thom is a Certified Lay Servant and has begun his journey toward full-time ministry at Asbury Theological Seminary. The scripture was Matthew 7:7-14 A written transcript is included and a video of the 9:30 Common Ground service is available on PenderUMC.org
  • 6/10/18, Rev. Jay Hanke ~ S-h-i-f-t the Paradigm
    Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. Often it feels like we live in a crowded world – there are many of us! And yet, each of us is one . . . unique . . . loved as a child of God. Do you ever wonder about your uniqueness, how you stand out, what makes you distinctive? Is it the way you dress, or walk, or say “Y-All,” or chew on an ear of corn? Jesus has def […]
