United Methodist Chucks

The third installment of Seeking God is just in time for Thanksgiving! "Remember God" looks at why we are thankful. Do we give credit where credit is due? Do we share what we are given? What can we learn from Moses' words to the Israelites? When we seek God, we find hope. Our scripture reading comes from Deuteronomy 8:7-18.

This week in Seeking God we look at how we "Serve God." Joshua makes a covenant with the people of Israel, but he has some important questions first. Do we fully understand our responsibility? Do we fully understand what it is to serve God? When we seek God, we find hope. Our scripture reading comes from Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25.

"Trust God" is our first message in the Seeking God series. On this All Saints Sunday we look at God's promise to his children. What can we say about those who have completed their journey and our own future? When we seek God, we find hope. Our scripture reading comes from Revelation 7:9-17.

"Giving Your All" marks the end of the current series, Turning to God. Jesus speaks of the two greatest commandments in today's scripture. But how do we live them? What does it really mean to give our all for God? When we turn from earthly desires, we find ourselves turning to God. Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 22:34-46.

As we continue in Turning to God, we come to "God's Things." Jesus talks about giving back to the emperor what belongs to the emperor. But what belongs to God? Do we give God the credit he deserves? And do we get too caught up in our earthly things? When we turn from earthly desires, we find ourselves turning to God. Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 22:15-22.

This week in Turning to God, we talk about patience. "Waiting for God" looks at how we aren't so different from the Israelites making a golden calf. What idols do we make in our lives? How does an on demand society change our relationship with God? When we turn from earthly desires, we find ourselves turning to God. Our scripture reading comes from Exodus 32:1-14.

We begin our new series, Turning to God, with today's message "Pride in Flesh." We explore some of Paul's words about pride. Is pride always bad? What is it we have pride in? How can gain be considered loss? What example does Christ set for us? When we turn from earthly desires, we find ourselves turning to God. Our scripture reading comes from Philippians 3:4b-14.

As we finish An Overflowing Heart, we look at what unites us. In "Same Love. Same Mind." we look at how we love and share in Christ's love. What does it mean to be of one mind? Of one love? How do we get past what divides us? With Christ, we can live with an overflowing heart. Our scripture reading comes from Philippians 2:1-13.

Next in An Overflowing Heart is an exploration of giving in "Choose Generosity." We often talk about being generous, but what does it mean to be generous? What can we take away from the parable about the vineyard workers? Explore this and more today! With Christ, we can live with an overflowing heart. Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 20:1-16.

As we reach the midpoint of An Overflowing Heart, we come to "Merciful Hearts." How many times do we forgive? What does it mean to truly forgive someone? What example does Christ give us for forgiveness? When we give up resentment we make room for love. With Christ, we can live with an overflowing heart. Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 18:21-35.

As we continue our current series, An Overflowing Heart, we come to "Owe Only Love." What do we owe others? What do we feel we are owed. And what would it be like to owe only love? Or to only be owed love? With Christ, we can live with an overflowing heart. Our scripture reading comes from Romans 13:8-14.

As we begin our new series, An Overflowing Heart, we look at "Genuine Love." Love is many things, but how often do we think about love being strict? Maybe even harsh? How do we lovingly deal with big problems? Love is many things, but not always what we expect. With Christ, we can live with an overflowing heart. Our scripture reading comes from Romans 12:9-21.

As we reach the end of Finding Your Faith, "As You Wish" brings us to an unlikely example of great faith. What can we learn from this example? Are we always as inviting and accepting as Christ asks us to be?  Join us as we find our faith. Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 15:10-28.

"On the Sea" continues in our Finding Your Faith series. This week, we talk about weak faith. What do we do when our faith is weak? Are we alone? How do we strengthen our faith again? Join us as we find our faith. Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 14:22-33.

As we continue in Finding Your Faith,  we look at how God has faith in us. Today's message is "YOU Feed Them", and it explores how we can falter in faith. If God wants us to go and do, do we expect God to equip us? Do we sometimes try to push things back on Jesus that he's asked us to do? Join us as we find our faith. Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 14:13-21.

We begin our Finding Your Faith series with today's message, "The Kingdom Is..." What does it mean to have faith in the Kingdom of God? What can we learn from the many parables of Jesus? What is the Kingdom mean to you? Join us as we find our faith. Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52.

The last sermon in our Let Yourself Be series is “Be Hopeful. ” Our series comes together in hope. How does hope help us? What are we able to do with hope? How does hope bring us together? Can you let yourself be hopeful? Our scripture reading comes from Romans 8:12-25.

The third sermon in our Let Yourself Be series is “Be Kind. ” Today we have an example of people who weren't kind. How do we learn to be kind? How do we struggle to show kindness? Does a kind word make a difference in today's world? Can you let yourself be kind? Our scripture reading comes from Genesis 25:19-34.

The second sermon in our Let Yourself Be series is “Be Full of Grace. ” It explores the gift of grace. What does grace mean to you? How do we show grace to others? As we explore grace, we further explore our call to be together in Christ. Can you let yourself be full of grace? Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30.

This marks the first sermon in our Let Yourself Be series. "Be Humble" explores the call from Jesus to humble ourselves as we serve. As we celebrate our many blessings, how can we remain humble? How do we follow the example that Christ gives us for humility? Can you let yourself be humble? Our scripture reading comes from Matthew 10:40-42.
