  • Episode 344: Love Actively (Message 3: Wesleyan Rooted)

    21/10/2024 Duração: 29min

    We often hear the words "I love you," but without action, they feel empty, and relationships suffer. The Bible teaches that love is more than a feeling—it's something we do. In the Wesleyan tradition, Christians are called to live out their faith through loving action, making love the foundation of a dynamic, growing relationship with God and others. In this message, we dive into what it means to love actively and how it leads to true holiness in heart and life.If this message is a blessing, you can support our ministries by donating at www.fumccb.com.  Speaker: Pastor Mark Reynolds Venue: First United Methodist Church (Cocoa Beach, FL) Connect with Pastor Mark:www.revmarkreynolds.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PastorMarkReynolds 

  • Episode 343: Read Faithfully: Understanding the Inspiration of Scripture (Message 2: Wesleyan Rooted)

    14/10/2024 Duração: 27min

    In this message, we look at how United Methodists understand the inspiration of scripture. As Wesleyan Christians, we are rooted in the Bible. It is both the source of our faith and the measure of our spiritual authenticity. However, instead of insisting on a strict literal reading, we teach a dynamic and contextual way of interpreting scripture. When we read prayerfully and carefully with other Christians, the Bible becomes the living word of God in the power of the Holy Spirit, and we are transformed into the image of Christ.Of all the beliefs that set us apart from many other denominations, this one may be the most significant. So, check out this message and learn how God works through scripture to transform us in love!Sources: Adam Hamilton, "Making Sense of the Bible" (2016) and "Half Truths" (2016); Randy Maddox, "Responsible Grace" (1994)If this message is a blessing, you can support our ministries by donating at www.fumccb.com.  Speaker: Pastor Mark Reynolds Venue: First United Methodist Church (Cocoa

    We are excited to begin a new message series, "Wesleyan Rooted." Over the next five weeks, we will explore what it means to follow Jesus in the United Methodist tradition. This series invites us to reflect on our unique spiritual heritage and embrace the core principles of our faith.In this message, we dive into the theme, "Grow Deeply" and see how being rooted in God's love allows us to follow Jesus daily and become a new creation.

  • Episode 338: Discerning the Spirits Within (Message 2: Discernment)

    09/09/2024 Duração: 24min

    In this second message from the "Discernment" series, we explore the challenge of distinguishing truth from falsehood in a world filled with conflicting voices, both externally and within ourselves. Using 1 John 4:1 and Galatians 5:13-25, the sermon emphasizes the importance of testing the spirits, discerning between good and evil, and recognizing how the Holy Spirit guides us toward love, peace, and unity. As we learn to identify the impulses of the flesh that lead to division and self-deception, we are reminded of our need for spiritual community, humility, and daily alignment with God's will.

  • Episode 337: Listening to God in Solitude and Community (Message 1: Discernment)

    02/09/2024 Duração: 21min

    Do you sometimes struggle to make hard decisions? In this message, we explore the process of discerning God's will in our lives. Grounded in scriptures from Colossians 1:9-11 and Hebrews 11:1, the sermon emphasizes the importance of both solitude and community in hearing God's voice. By practicing spiritual disciplines such as prayer, meditation on scripture, and engaging in authentic relationships with fellow believers, we can cultivate the spiritual senses needed to discern God's guidance, even in the midst of uncertainty and risk.If this message is a blessing, you can support our ministries by donating at www.fumccb.com.  Speaker: Pastor Mark Reynolds Venue: First United Methodist Church (Cocoa Beach, FL) Connect with Pastor Mark:www.revmarkreynolds.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PastorMarkReynolds 

  • Episode 336: Beyond Even (Message 2: What to Do About Mean People)

    26/08/2024 Duração: 29min

    When mean people hurt us, our natural impulse is to get even. But reacting in anger perpetuates conflict, increases the control that mean people hold over you, compels you to violate your values, and remakes you in the image of your enemies. Thankfully there’s another way, a way that honors God, builds our identity in Christ, and diminishes the power that mean people hold over us. Jesus modeled this third way in the New Testament, and Paul talked about it too, but it is also taught in the Old Testament by a woman named Abigail.

  • Episode 335: Respond, Don't React (Message1: What to Do About Mean People)

    19/08/2024 Duração: 34min

    This message is the first in a new two-week series, "What to Do About Mean People." We focus on how our impulse to get even perpetuates conflict and multiples our problems. If we can resist this impulse long enough to ask ourselves a few questions, we can respond (instead of react) in a way that honors God and diminishes the power that mean people try to hold over us.If this message is a blessing, you can support our ministries by donating at www.fumccb.com.  Speaker: Pastor Mark Reynolds Venue: First United Methodist Church (Cocoa Beach, FL) Connect with Pastor Mark:www.revmarkreynolds.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PastorMarkReynolds
