Always Be Ready – Have Hope

We continue with the sermon series, “A Living Hope,” on this Sixth Sunday of Easter. The focus in this series is the epistle of 1 Peter and its message to the nascent church of Jesus Christ. The sermon this morning focuses on Hope, a quality and value that is much needed today. As followers of Jesus Christ we are called to be people of hope and to share that hope with a world that is in desperate need of the…

Loosening The Bonds

Our Scriptures this Sunday are:Acts 2:14a, 36-41Psalm 116Luke 24:13-351 Peter 1:17-23 On this third Sunday of Easter, the question that arises is this: Are we being saved from something or are we being saved for something? Today, Pastor Wayne considers that we are saved for something. And that something is to make a difference where we are planted. Yesterday, Saturday, April 22, 2023, was a watershed day in the life of the Holston Conference of the United Methodist Church. We met as a called…

Easter 2022

It was early in the morning on that first Easter Sunday. The sun had just come up and the women who followed Jesus were coming to the tomb to finish preparing his body for burial, a task that they had no time to complete on the day of his crucifixion. It had only been a few days, but it seemed like an eternity. As they approached the tomb, they realized that something was wrong. The stone was rolled away. As…

Can You Hear Me Now?

Our scriptures for today tend to describe Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Through Psalm 23 and John 10:11-18, an image of caring and encouragement is portrayed. Jesus tells us that the sheep will hear his voice and know him. But do we listen for his voice? And if we listen for his voice, do we do as he commands? Join us for this worship service on the 4th Sunday of Easter. We examine the character of the Shepherd and the…

Eating With Ghosts

In this message on the third Sunday of Easter, we find Jesus making another post-Resurrection appearance to the Disciples. This time, the story is told from the perspective of Luke’s Gospel. During this encounter, Jesus invites the Disciples to grab hold of him and hold on for dear life. He demonstrates once and for all that he is as real as they are. He is no ghost or figment of their imagination. He is the real deal. Jesus is inviting…
