Sermon | Luke 2:8-20 | THE HEART THAT GREW THREE SIZES - 4. "When Joy Is Our Song" by Rev. Dr. Jenothy Irvine at Grace United Methodist Church in Franklin, Indiana

Do we want God to work in our lives, friends? Do we want divine disruption? of course we don’t want disruption; we like thinking we know what is coming!!! Do we want divine encounter? Maybe ask it this way: Do we feel at peace with ourselves? Do we feel at peace with others? Do we feel at peace with God? Do we have an unshakeable hope? We might think we do until a disruption come, right?? We find...

Sermon | Matthew 3:7-12 | THE HEART THAT GREW THREE SIZES - 2. "When Christmas Isn't Christmas" by Rev. Dr. Jenothy Irvine at Grace United Methodist Church in Franklin, Indiana

We cannot ask others to change their behavior or see things differently until we have changed our behavior and done the hard work to see things differently. If Jesus’ home community of people would’ve just let go of their expectation and assumptions long enough to be more curious…to ask more questions…to be open to broader ideas…to a more humble approach to their thought process… maybe things woul...

Sermon | Hebrews 11 & 12 | "What Does Your Faith Mean Now" by Rev. Dr. Jenothy Irvine at Grace United Methodist Church in Franklin, Indiana

What a scene, huh?! A countless multitude…made up of all people groups and families…speaking all different languages…standing before God waving palm branches—the sign of victory—making a simple and powerful statement: “Victory/Deliverance/Salvation/Healing and Wholeness belongs to God and to the Lamb!” Saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb” both makes a...

Perhaps you feel captive yourself. You’re here this morning… You have come to worship and honor God… to give gratitude… But you feel like there is more to this faith than what you have experienced. Maybe you’ve come like that rich man—you’ve come to be told what a great job you are doing by following the commandments and not killing other people and betraying your relationships (because that’s so...

Sermon | Matthew 7:24-29 | WE ARE THE KIN-DOM - 8. "How Will You Do It?" by Rev. Dr. Jenothy Irvine at Grace United Methodist Church in Franklin, Indiana

“The one who DOES the will of God enters into the Kin-dom.” The one who DOES. Not knows… Not memorizes… Not the one who wows and impresses… The one who DOES what the Kin-dom is all about is a part of the Kin-dom. This is how you find life. This is how you avoid destruction. He says to the ones who aren’t doing that they are LAWLESS. The word for Torah is “LAW.” People who don’t do the will of God...
