St. Paul United Methodist Church - The Message

Sometimes we wonder where God is, but the answer is in one of Jesus' names: Emmanuel. It means "God With Us."

Dr. Don's message includes a freedom plan for living and inspiration for ways churches are combining ministry and income.

What lessons can our church today learn from Zechariah's vision of the ruins of Jerusalem?

We may not always agree on everything, but we are all part of one body: the church.

This message is about transformation, or metamorphosis. With God's help, we can change.

The story Jesus tells reminds us that we are all in need of mercy. We are both sinners and saints.

It is disheartening when our prayers are not answered. Jesus encourages us to not give up. Be persistent.

This commandment is about enjoying your life and what you have instead of comparing with what others have. The antidote for coveting is gratitude.

In our current society the truth has become more rare and precious than ever, and seeking it is more important than sticking to our tribes, prejudices and narratives.

The commandment not to steal points us toward a world where no one needs to steal to survive, and where we enjoy what we've worked for and earned.

Dr. Don puts the seventh commandment, do not commit adultery, in context and shares the joy of faithfulness that God intends for us.

Dr. Don shares how the commandment not to murder is a call to cherish life.

What does it mean to honor your father and mother?

What does it mean to keep the Sabbath? How is rest an act of resistance?

What does it mean to take the Lord's name in vain? If we take God's name and call ourselves Christians, but don't live out Christ's teachings, we have taken his name in vain.

Why do we settle for substitutes instead of putting our trust in God?

The first commandment is "You shall have no other gods before me." What it means is put God first.

Our final Road Trip Song is about blessing God and being blessed in return.

Psalm 133 gives us a picture of what it means to get along and live together in unity. It's wonderful, beautiful, extravagant and messy.
