St. Matthew's United Methodist Church

This month, we will be looking at what it is that United Methodists believe about salvation. We'll look at what Wesley called "The Scripture Way of Salvation." We begin this series with these key points - all are made in the image of God, all need Jesus, all can be saved, and all can be saved to the uttermost!

In our final sermon from our Three Simple Rules series, we look at Matthew 8:23-27. We see Jesus calm the storm. Where in our lives do we find God?  Build your life around that, and no matter the storm, we will find life.

Brian shares with us from Matthew 8: 23-27. We see Jesus calm the storm, and we know that no matter the storm in our lives, Jesus can calm it and bring life.

In our Traditional message from August 24, 2025, Andy shares with us from Philippians 2 12-13. We are called to place ourselves in a position to experience God, and then God will do the rest.  In our disciples, we are faithful, but God does the work!

In our INTERSECTION message, Brian shares with us the importance of our spiritual disciplines and the difference they can make in our faith!

As we continue our series "Three Simple Rules," we look at what it means to do good. How do our simple acts of goodness make a real difference in the world? How do they help us build our lives around Jesus? 

As we continue our series "Three Simple Rules" we take time to talk about how doing good makes a real difference in our lives and in the life of the world. 

As we continue in our series "Three Simple Rules," we examine Wesley's call to the early Methodists to "Do No Harm." We may not always know the right thing to say, but we generally know what not to do. Sometimes the first step of healing is to avoid doing harm. 

As we continue looking at Wesley's Rules for the Methodists, we look at his first rule for us to live by, Do No Harm. In our divided world, often doing no harm is the first best thing we can do! 

As we start our new series in August, talking about the "Three Simple Rules," we take time to talk about what it means to have a rule.  We look at Deuteronomy 6:1-8 and talk about how it is, in the busyness of our lives, we build our lives around God.

In our INTERSECTION sermon for August 3, 2025 Brian shares with us how we can better build our lives around what God is doing in our lives in this new school year!

In our last series from our summer "Road Trip" series, we look at John the Revelator. While this book can be, and is, confusing, this book reminds us of this central truth. God wins!  We are a people of hope! 

In the last of our summer sermon series, we take a road trip with John the Revelator.  Take a moment to learn what this last book of the Bible teaches us!

In our Traditional sermon from July 13, Andy shares with us the story of Priscilla and Aquila.  We see in their lives the power of welcome and hospitality.  Their love changed Apollo's life and, through that, so many others!

In our INTERSECTION  sermon from July 13, Brian shares with us the story of Priscilla and Aquila.  We see in their lives the power of welcome and hospitality.

In our INTERSECTION message from June 22, we look closer at the life of Deborah. This judge was an unexpected person whom God uses. God uses all kinds of wonderfully unexpected people!

In our Road Trip Series, we look at Deborah, this great female judge and leader of the people. Her story, and all the book of Judges, shows how God will use unexpected people, like "them" and like us.

In our "Road Trip" series, Brian shares with us from Matthew 2: 13-23. We look at Joseph and how he was faithful to God, even when he was unsure. He trusted in God, even when it didn't always make sense!

In our Traditional message from June 15, 2025, Andy shares with us from Matthew 2: 13-23.  Joseph had plans for his life, good plans, but God came and upended all of these. Even though Joseph may not have understood it completely at first, he remained faithful. That's our call. Not perfection. Faithfulness.

In our Pentecost sermon, we read from Acts 21:1-21. We see that on this day, the Spirit was given to us. The church was born, but within that, the hope of Glory is Christ with us. We each have the Spirit, and we are called to that Good News of Jesus Christ with us outside the walls, into all the world!

Our VBS will explore different Road Trips in Scripture, so throughout the summer, in our sermons, we will examine various individuals who traveled with God. Today, we'll look at Abraham and the road trip of faith that takes us, with all of our faithfulness and faults.

In our Sunday sermon from May 18, 2025, Andy shares with us from Acts 11 1-18, the Lord pushes Peter to be uncomfortable, and to love people that can be hard to love. Let us not look at the world and see enemies where the Lord sees a harvest.
