St. Matthew's United Methodist Church

In our Traditional message from December 21, 2025, Andy look Matthew 1: 18-25.  We see in Joseph's story that love is not merely an emotion that we feel, but love is simple, kind, sacrificial actions. Love is not what we feel; it is what we do.

In our INTERSECTION message from December 21, 2025, Brian shares with us from Matthew 1: 18-25. In Joseph's story, we see what love really looks like.

In our Traditional message from December 7, 2025, Andy shares with us from Matthew 3: 1-12. Repentance is a gift, because repentance reminds us just how much God loves us and longs to forgive us.

In our INTERSECTION message from December 7, 2025, Brian looks at Matthew 3: 1-12. We see John the Baptist's call for repentance. That gift of repentance leads us to peace.

In our message for the first Sunday of Advent, Brian and Mary Beth remind us that our hope is in Jesus' coming. He is coming to save us!

In our Traditional message from the first Sunday of Advent, we look at Matthew 24, 36 44 we look at the hope that comes from Jesus' second coming. We heard this passage with fear, but that is not the intent.  He is not coming to get us, He is coming to save us!

In our Traditional sermon for November 23, 2025, Christ the King Sunday, we look at what it means to say that Christ is King?  His kingship is not like the earthly, human kings, but His kingship is found in His wounds. He inhabits our praise, but He also inhabits our suffering and hurts.  Jesus, alone, is King! 

In our INTERSECTION service, Mary Beth preaches from Luke 23: 33-43.  We see Jesus upon the cross, and see His call to love, even those who may be different from us. He is Lord, and He loves us. He calls us to do the same, love all we meet.  His Lordship pushes us away from the edges of our society, but to the middle, where we smash idols and love all. 

In our Confirmation message from November 16, 2025, Mary Beth Ashely Davis shares with us from Isaiah 65: 1-5.  God is making all things new, including us.  This isn't a future hope, but a present reality! 

In our INTERSECTION message, Brian shares with us from Psalm 17.  God is our defender and our shield because we are the apple of His eye.  

In our Traditional message from November 9, 2025, Andy shares with us form Psalm 17.  We see that we are the apple of God's eye. He will defend and He will protect us, because He truly loves us. 

In our Traditional sermon from October 26, 2025, Andy shares his favorite Biblical character, Barnabas.  Barnabas is called the Son of Encouragement because he believes in what others can be through Jesus. We need people who believe in what we can be, and what we are doing, through the power of the Holy Spirit. We need sons and daughters of encouragement!

Barnabas is called the Son of Encouragement because he believes in what others can be through Jesus. We need people who believe in what we can be, and what we are doing, through the power of the Holy Spirit. We need sons and daughters of encouragement!

We see in Luke 8: 1-3 that Mary and the other women supported Jesus' ministry. They were thankful for what He had done for them. That thanking should be our motivation as well! 

In our sermon from October 19, Andy shares with us from Luke 8 1-3. We see how Mary and the other women gave to Jesus because they were thankful. Jesus has done so much for us; He deserves all that we can give Him.

In our message from October 12, 2025, Andy shares with us from Genesis 14:17-24.  Where does tithing come from? Why is it important? We see Abram gives 10% of what he has to Melkizedek, who is a spiritual forerunner to Jesus (Psalm 110, Hebrews 7).  He had a vision for what God was doing. It is the same for us. That is why we give.

In our message from October 12, 2025, Andy shares with us from Genesis 14:17-24.  Where does tithing come from? Why is it important? We see Abram gives 10% of what he has to Melkizedek, the first tithe in scripture.

In our Traditional message from October 5, 2025, Andy shares with us from 1 Timothy 6:3-10.  Wesley told the early Methodists to "earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can."  Our budget is our greatest theological statement.  

In our INTERSECTION sermon from October 5, 2025, Brian shares with us from 1 Timothy 6:3-10.  We are reminded of Wesley's call to the first Methodists—to earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can. 

In our final message on the Scripture Way of Salvation, Brian shares with us, from Mark, Jesus's greatest commandment to us, to love God and neighbor. This is what sanctification truly looks like! 

Our sermon got dropped today. Andy gives us a quick recap of the sermon. We see that holiness is love when God sanctifies us through His grace, we are able to love, forgive, and extend mercy. In a cold world, that shows the effect Jesus has on our lives!

As part of our series "The Scripture Way of Salvation," we look at Justifying Grace. This form of grace is what we see in "getting saved," or a "profession of faith," or "conversion."  This is when we walk through the door and enter the house, when we truly follow Jesus.  And this step is all about grace!

In our series on Wesley's understanding of Salvation, "The Scripture Way of Salvation," we talk about Prevenient Grace, the grace that goes before our conversion. God is always seeking us, calling us, saving us. He doesn't love us because we are perfect. He loves us because He is perfect.
