Methodists to the Madness

Join us as we discuss Through Mary’s Eyes - Two Visitations . That’s right, listen to it now because we die, before Beth and I are at the current life expectancy of ancient near east women.

Join us for the phonia-est episode yet! We go through Acts 10:1-11, 18 where Pastor Jim shares how it's important to know what we believe and be firm in our religious convictions.

It's Lenten season! Join us as we dive into the new sermon series, Learn From the Trees, with the series opening up in Genesis 2-3. So many amazing things to take away, including the word used for ‘man’ is ‘adam … literally meaning ‘human being’ without gender designation - how cool! Also, remember to respond to Beth with, "Yes, Chef"!

It’s the last sermon of Pastor Jim’s five-week sermon series, and we gain a better understanding of Deuteronomy and how it’s the age-old debate between law and grace. Also, is Jessica giving birth in a tent?!?

As is .” (Brown) Also, great things only take a week?!?...

Join us (and a very special guest) as we discuss Pastor Jim’s first of two sermons in his Imperfectly You sermon series, focusing on the gifts of imperfection.
