Special Message
If you are alive and have any contact with any other human being on the planet, you know that we are struggling with a new pandemic. Everyone has heard of Covid-19. People are scared. People are reacting in fear - it is difficult not to do that. Faith is easy when life is good. That doesn't make...

Adulting When Faith Is Difficult
Have you ever heard the turn or phrase, “you have arrived”? We associate that phrase with success. We hear it from our phones when we arrive at our destinations that we plugged into Siri or Google Maps. The phrase denotes that we are at the pinnacle of our lives. We’ve reached the top. We are...

Age-Appropriate Spirituality
Have you reached The Summit? Are you an Adult-Christian? Or, are you still in the stages of childhood and adolescence? As members at Mt. Pleasant UMC and as Christians, we have responsibilities. All of us have responsibilities. Lots of people think church membership is simply about coming once in…

What's Missing?
What's missing from your faith? Could it be compassion?

Its Up to Us
We are the Legacy Holders of our church. We inherited the good things from our predecessors here at Mt. Pleasant. And with that gift comes responsibility...
-
One Day At a Time
What you do every day matters much more than what you do once in a while. It's easy to look at someone making an impact and wonder how they got there. We often assume impact is instant, but more often it comes from the small daily decisions we make where we get about the Father's business. We…

One Decision at a Time
You make your choices, then your choices make you! Choices, tiny though they may seem, determine your life, your destination and your happiness. Sooner or later, everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences...

Tempted to Give Up!
Maybe you've been trying so much and trying for so long that you don't know why you're trying anymore. It happens to all of us. It most definitely happened to Elijah...

The Fourth Christmas
What would happen if we all gave it all when God called? That's what Mary did. She was up against a lifetime of ridicule and finger pointing. She gave up a good name to bring into this world the Savior.
-
What's in a Name?
Names mean everything. In Matthew's Gospel, he lists the genealogy of Jesus. He does this on the side of Joseph instead of Mary. Joseph is descended from David--that is King David. Because of Christ, we have the ability to become Children of God. What if we really knew we were royalty? Would it...
-
Redemption of Scrooge
Yesterday, we explored the life of Ebenezer Scrooge. How did he come to be the way he is? Some things in life have the tendency to make us bitter people. How do we not end up like Ebenezer Scrooge? What if we already are? And finally, if we are, how do we break the invisible chains of ignorance,...
-
Facing the Whirlwind
The first thing we ask each other around early November is, "Are you ready for Christmas?" People mean all kinds of things by this question, but mostly, what people mean by this question is, "Are your decorations out and is your tree up? Have you bought presents?" But really, are we ready for...
-
Miserable Comfort
We all have those friends. Ever heard that saying, "With friends like you, I don't need enemies"? Job had those kinds of friends. If you've been following us, you'll already know we've been going through the book of Job...

Real Faith: Problem of Suffering (Part 2)
"Sometimes God calms the storm, but sometimes God lets the storm rage and calms his child." Listen for more!

Real Faith: Problem of Suffering
Yesterday, we talked about the problem of suffering. We covered the text of Job - you probably know the text. "In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil..." Job had everything. He had kids. He had wealth. He had his...

UnCommon Church Continued
What do you want to be when you grow up? We ask that question to kids all the time. When we ask it, we usually mean, what career do you want to have when you grow up? At this point, anyone close to retirement age or already there may be checking out. DON'T DO THAT! Because, we're really asking…

UnCommon Church Continued
Charles Dickens wrote a Tale of Two Cities. It starts out this way: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of…

UnCommon Church
Counterfeit Church -or- UnCommon Church? Welcome to an Uncommon Community This is not your average church. This is not what most people expect, and that's a good thing. We are cut from a different cloth, walk a different path and work for a different purpose. We enjoy exploring the sacred…

The Uncommon
It is not at all uncommon for people to spend their whole lives just waiting to live. Someday, I'll be able to this or that. Someday is always just outside of our reach. So often, we just look for someday to arrive. Today is the day! Listen for more!

To God be the Glory
As Christians, we have responsibilities. We have the responsibility of sharing Christ with others. In order for people to have a relationship with Christ, people need to know Christ. In order for people to know Christ, they have to be introduced. We love God. God loves people. If we truly love…

Parables: The Power of a Mustard Seed
Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a mustard seed, which to be strictly accurate, is not the smallest of seeds, but in the east, the mustard seed was proverbial for its smallness. For example, the Jews talked of a drop of blood as small as a mustard seed; or, if they were talking of some…

Parables: So What Now?
We often think that we have nothing to give to God because we are not famous or spectacular in any way that we can see. However, we have gifts that God has given us in order that we use them for God's glory and Kingdom. This week, we continued on with our series in parables by covering the…

Parables: Are You Ready
We've been on a series of parables for the last couple of weeks. Most of us fall into the working class of people. In Jesus' day, it was no different. There was the aristocracy, and then there was the working class. Most of us reading this fall into that working class. The people in the days of...

Children Matter!
This week is a little different. This week, we are celebrating our children and our Kids First program here at Mt. Pleasant UMC!

My 'AHA!' Moment
Parables get us to look at our lives from the back side. What do our lives look like from the outside? What do our lives look like from God's perspective? In Genesis 3, we see that Adam and Eve sewed together fig leaves in order to cover up and hide from God. If we think that we are a little…

A Modern Parable
We live in the age of forgetfulness. We are not where we were meant to be. Camus cays "Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is." Luke 19:10 says "The Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost." Sometimes we get lost. We run away to our jungles of our 9-5, filling our…
