Metter Methodist Messages

Jesus said a real disciple bears much fruit, fruit that lasts. But what is that fruit, and how do you actually produce it? In John 15, Jesus gives the answer in one picture: stay connected to the vine. In the third message of “Jesus Defines Disciple,” Pastor Allen Cason walks through John 15:1-17 and the third statement Jesus makes about what a disciple is (John 15:8, 16). He shows the two kinds o...

Jesus called it a new command: love one another the same way He has loved you. Not romantic love, not family love, but Agape love — the unconditional love of God with no strings attached. In this message from John 13:31–35, Pastor Allen Cason unpacks what that love actually looks like and why Jesus says it’s the clearest mark of being His disciple. This is week two of “Jesus Defines Disciple,” a s...

Believing in Jesus and following Jesus are not the same thing. In John 8, Jesus turns to a crowd of brand-new believers and tells them what it actually takes to be one of His real disciples. Pastor Allen Cason opens a new series, “Jesus Defines Disciple,” with the first of seven statements Jesus makes about what a disciple actually is. Reading John 8:31-47, he shows why belief alone was never enou...

A pastor’s firsthand account of the Global Methodist Church’s 2026 General Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, where delegates from six continents prayed, voted, and broke into the doxology together. Pastor Allen Cason served as a delegate to this year’s General Conference and came home with more of a testimony than a sermon. He shares what it looked like when nearly 400 delegates and 600 vo...

Peter denied Jesus three times beside a charcoal fire. The next time John mentions a charcoal fire, the risen Jesus is standing beside one, cooking him breakfast. In this message from John 21:1–19, the final week of the A Place at the Table series, Pastor Allen Cason walks through the morning Jesus meets Peter and the disciples back on the Sea of Galilee, fishing again after the resurrection becau...

Hours before He was betrayed, Jesus sat down and ate a meal with the very people who would betray Him, deny Him, and abandon Him. Here's what that meal still means for anyone who feels too broken to come to the table. In this message from Luke 22:7–32, Pastor Allen Cason walks through the Last Supper and the Jewish Passover meal behind it, tracing the four cups of Passover (sanctification, pro...

You know the Sunday school song: Zacchaeus was a wee little man. But before he was a punchline, he was a man willing to run, climb, and risk looking foolish just to see Jesus. In this message from Luke 19:1–10, Pastor Allen Cason looks at what it actually takes to encounter Jesus: removing whatever stands in the way, whether that’s busyness, pride, or worry about what other people think. Zacchaeus...

You don't have to fix your life before Jesus wants you. In this message from Luke 5:27-32, see how Jesus called a hated tax collector named Levi exactly as he was, and what that means for you today. Levi was despised by his own people for collaborating with Rome, and Jesus found him sitting at his tax booth, in the middle of his compromise, before a single thing had changed. This message walks...

You know how the prodigal son story ends. But the real point of Jesus’s most famous parable isn’t the son who wasted everything. It’s the father who ran to bring him home. In this message from Luke 15, Pastor Allen Cason walks through the parable of the prodigal son, alongside the lost sheep and the lost coin, to show that both the wayward younger son and the resentful older son are trying to earn...

Some people never wander far from God. They just go quiet right where they already are: in the pew, in the family, in the house. This message walks through the parable of the Lost Coin (Luke 15:8-10) and asks what repentance actually looks like for someone who has been a believer for decades.

Ever wonder how you can drift away from God without ever making one big decision to leave? In this message on Luke 15:1-7, we look at the Parable of the Lost Sheep and what it means for every one of us, whether we're the one who's wandered or the one who's stopped looking for who's missing.

The boldest people in the book of Acts were untrained nobodies. But where did their courage come from?

Real courage is not a feeling you wait for. It is something you do. In this message from Joshua 2, the story of Rahab shows that faith only becomes real when you act on it, even with everything on the line.

Ever felt like you are just not enough for what God is asking of you? That is exactly where Moses stood at the burning bush, and God's answer to him changes everything. In this message from Exodus 3, we meet an 80 year old shepherd with a criminal past and no platform, and we watch God call him anyway. When Moses asks, "Who am I?", God never tries to convince him he is good enough. I...

Following God courageously starts with one thing: learning to hear His voice and obey it, even when you do not understand why. In this message from Acts 16, we follow Paul's journey to Macedonia and his surprise meeting with Lydia to see how God leads us one step at a time. 00:00 Starting a New Series on Courage 02:30 Paul Listens to the Spirit (Acts 16:6-15) 06:00 When God Says "Be Quiet...

You are always imitating something. The question is whether it's your Father or the world around you. This message from Ephesians 5 shows how beloved children of God walk in love, redeem their time, and are filled with the Spirit instead of the counterfeits that never satisfy. Pastor Allen Cason is the pastor of Metter Methodist Church in Metter, Georgia, where the mission is building the king...

You were made to follow Jesus, but not alone. Ephesians 4 shows that the calling that saves us also binds us to each other, and the Christian life only works the way God designed it when we live it together.

Rev. Brock Burnett guests preaches on the topic of prayer.

A warning sign on the Jerusalem temple said any outsider who crossed the barrier would personally be responsible for their death. Jesus didn't negotiate with that wall. He absorbed it into his own body on the cross and replaced it with himself.  00:00 The Wall That Could Get You Killed 04:00 Ephesians 2:14-18 05:30 Three Walls You Have Been Climbing 13:00 How Jesus Wrecked the Wall 20:00 The C...

Before you can understand the grace of God, you have to be honest about the grave you were in. In Week 2 of (UN)PUZZLED, Pastor Allen opens Ephesians 2 and shows us what it really means to be spiritually dead — walking around, living life, never knowing — until Jesus tells you.

Discipleship doesn't begin with doing more for Jesus — it begins with learning to live freely from Jesus, out of the abundance of what he has already done. In Week 1 of (UN)PUZZLED, Pastor Allen opens Ephesians and shows us why Paul starts with identity, not instructions.

The hunger fasting creates is not meant to be permanent—it is meant to lead us to Jesus, the Bread of Life. In this message from John 6:25 -40, Pastor Allen explores how the crowd chased Jesus for more bread, but Jesus redirected them to the only bread that truly satisfies—Himself.📖 Scripture: John 6:25 -40🎯 Series: Holy Hunger – A Lenten Journey Through Fasting⛪ Metter Methodist Church | Mette...

Jesus is asked why His disciples do not fast. In His response, we learn why the Church still fasts today.
