Sermons on 2 Timothy
Fulfilling Your Ministry
Today, our Lay Leader and Church Council Chair, Ken Brown, guides us in finding our path and becoming equipped to fulfill our ministries in these complex times. On Laity Sunday, we celebrate the significant role that every member of our congregation plays in the life and mission of the church. Each person’s unique gifts and service are vital to fulfilling the ministry that God has entrusted to us all.
Rekindle
Today we meet Timothy, a young minister in the early church who experienced ups and downs in his life of faith. Perhaps like us, Timothy struggled as he navigated paths of suffering and uncertainty.How might Timothy’s story connect with ours? And what can we learn about faith, hope and resilience from this snippet of correspondence between Timothy and his mentor?
I’ve Been Meaning to Ask… What Do You Need?
Our July sermon series, “I’ve Been Meaning to Ask,” continues this morning with the question, “What Do You Need?” What we know for certain about need is that we need each other. How does today’s question invite us to lean in with curiosity and openness in order to strengthen the connections between us? How does this question invite vulnerability and open heartedness in relationship? What are scriptural examples of those in need and the people around them who responded in an effort to help? We’ll spend time with Job in the First Testament and Paul in the Epistles as we explore this question together.
Scripture
This Sunday we conclude our exploration of our Wesleyan theology and tradition – and specifically the Quadrilateral – with our foundation of Scripture.
