St. Paul United Methodist Church - The Message

Have you ever found yourself praying, waiting for God to do something, but there is no response. When will God do something about your troubles? Why is God waiting to act?

What do you do when God seems silent? Just because you don't hear him, doesn't mean he is absent. Just because you don't sense his presence, doesn't mean he isn't there.

Why does coming together help us to learn more of the character of God and go deeper in our faith journey?

There are many temptations in the world and none of us are immune to all of them. Having a confidant you can be honest with who will offer prayer, confession and encouragement helps to keep us accountable and on the path God wants for us.

Life was never intended to be lived alone. Having a group of people who care about you is what God had in mind when he created community.

All of us have two things we want more than anything in life: "to love and to be loved." Coming together in intimate community leads us to our destination.

Jesus is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, but he is also with us during the "messy middle."

Jesus the Christ is Lord - Lord of our individual lives, Lord of the Church, Lord of the nations, and Lord of all creation. His Lordship is unlimited and complete. The immense power and expanse of his Lordship was demonstrated by his final victory...

What makes "Jesus the King" so different from what we normally imagine a king to be?

Too often we seek only physical nourishment rather than the spiritual nourishment offered by our Lord. Will you seek the spiritual food that Jesus offers?

Because he is both fully human and fully divine, Jesus is the mediator, or the bridge, between us and the Father. What exactly does this mean for us in our daily lives?

Jesus calls himself a gate we must pass through that gate to find everlasting life, but Jesus is not only the gate – he is also the guide who shepherds his sheep through the doorway to heaven. Instead of trying to find our own way in our own...

Jesus is often called the cornerstone of a reconciled creation and the Church. So why is he also called a stumbling block for those who reject him?

Jesus came to minister to the least, lost and marginalized so that all might be reconciled to God. How do we treat those for whom Jesus demonstrated such unconventional love?

Good neighboring has always been about God’s plan to reach others and offer redemption to all. The goodness of Jesus Christ is tangible; it seasons lives like salt, shines bright as light and sounds like the songs of love. How good are your...

When we let go of judgment and see people as people, that's when we are able to truly love them as Jesus commanded.

There are many different kinds of poverty and many people who are suffering. How are we ministering to them? How can we do more?

Loving our neighbor means leaving behind whatever fears we have in reaching out to new people, strangers. Jesus gives us the power to overcome our fears.

We seem to have added rules, regulations and systems to how we are to do life, but Jesus’ original mandate was quite simple: “Love your Neighbor.”
