Our Story

Join Matt and Phil as they discuss the second week of our "It's STILL a Wonderful Life" series"! On more than one occasion in the Bible, God gets someone's attention by striking them blind or mute. This week we're talking about Zechariah, who was muted by the angel Gabriel upon hearing that he and his wife would have a son (who turns out to be John the Baptist). Start the conversation here, then t...

The Christmas story plunges us headlong into an inner battle between worrying about the future or remembering that God has the final say.

Join Matt and Phil as they discuss the first Sunday in our new "It's STILL a Wonderful Life" series, starting this Sunday, November 29! Start the conversation here, then tune back in on Sunday for the sermon!

How we treat the "least of these" really matters to Jesus. Are you a sheep or a goat?

What should we do with that which God has entrusted us?

Join Matt, Phil, Calissa, and Michael & Jeannie Culver as they discuss the "All In" journey we've been on as a church. Also, this Sunday Phil will be discussing the parable of the talents. What should we do with that which God has entrusted us? Start the conversation here, then tune back in on Sunday for the sermon!

Why do we so often give our leftovers to God? The world tries to part us from our money in a myriad of ways--oftentimes by getting us to invest in things that are temporary rather than eternal . What would our lives look like if we didn't fall into the trap, but trusted God with our first fruits .

Where you're from isn't nearly as important as who you follow.

Join Matt, Phil, and Tambryn (DUMC's Children's Minister) as they discuss the third Sunday of our sermon series, "A Joyful Embrace." This week we're talking about a children's worship takeover! Our children will be participating in this Sunday's worship services in a very special way. Sometimes our adult mindset can get in the way of approaching our faith in a genuine way. What does it look like t...

We live in divided times...not just in the world or in politics, but also in the church. In this chapter Paul encourages the church at Philippi to imitate and put their focus on Christ--believing that through that common focus we can truly find unity. When the world looks from the outside in, will they recognize the main ingredient?

Join Matt, Phil, Kathy, and Calissa as they discuss the second Sunday of our sermon series, "A Joyful Embrace." This week we're continuing our conversation of how to read the Bible and looking at Philippians Chapter 2!  As we've talked about in past episodes, we live in divided times...not just in the world or in politics, but also in the church. In this chapter Paul encourages the church at...

Paul's letter to the Philippians reads like "a joyful embrace." How does it look for a community of faith to live in such a way toward one another? "When God gives you something good, you ought to share it!" Our physical distance from one another doesn't have to mean isolation from one another. Send a hug!

Join Matt, Phil, and Calissa as they discuss the first Sunday of our new sermon series, "A Joyful Embrace." How do you read the Bible? Have you ever even thought about it? Knowing how we tend to engage this ancient and sacred text will help as we seek to understand its place in our lives. As we begin our exploration of Paul's letter to the Philippians, maybe we can discover some joy and hope for o...

"Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend." Christians have a pretty short list of things that define our belief: Father, Son, Holy Spirit...communion...forgiveness of sins...resurrection...you know the rest. So why do we figure out more and more ways to further divide ourselves? Can we peacefully exist under one banner? Or do we "run the risk of knowing that our...

"Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend." Join Matt, Phil, Calissa, and special guest Mark Lamback as they discuss the fourth (and final) Sunday of our sermon series, "Don't Let It Be." Christians have a pretty short list of things that define our belief: Father, Son, Holy Spirit...communion...forgiveness of sins...resurrection...you know the rest. So why do we...

According to our current (some would say "worldly") ideas of fairness, some of Jesus' parables just don't make sense to us. They might even make us uncomfortable! Can we let go of our ideas of fairness and embrace the realities of God's gift of grace? What if it means others don't get what we think they deserve? What if it means we don't get what we think we deserve?

Join Rev. Matt Stone and Rev. David Melton as they discuss the third Sunday of our sermon series, "Don't Let It Be."

Can we let go of our ideas of fairness and embrace the realities of God's gift of grace? What if it means others don't g...

"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Easier said than done, right? God has already set the example of how we are to forgive, and Jesus makes it very clear--whether it's 77 times or 490 times--that we should forgive. But what does that look like?

Join Rev. Matt Stone, Dr. Phil Schroeder, and Rev. Kathy Brockman as they discuss the second Sunday of our sermon series, "Don't Let It Be." "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Easier said than done, right?

Welcome to the first Sunday of our new sermon series, "Don't Let It Be." As Christians, we often assume we should avoid conflict and just "keep the peace." But that's not how Jesus told his followers to handle our relationships. What would happen if we didn't just "let things be"? How should the church look in polarized and contentious times?
