What Does It Mean to 'Love One Another'? | John 13:31-35

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 series looking at the moments Jesus described exactly what a disciple is and isn’t. Right after Judas leaves the Last Supper to betray Him, Jesus gives His remaining disciples this new command and unpacks six specific ways His love showed up: He served, He touched the people everyone else avoided, He ate with the wrong crowd, He told the truth even when it cost Him a friend, He forgave the people hurting Him, and He laid down His life. Agape love isn’t a feeling. It’s a direction you choose to move toward people, even the ones who haven’t earned it.AboutMetter Methodist Church is a Global Methodist congregation in Metter, Georgia, led by Pastor Allen Cason, building the kingdom of God one disciple at a time.

What Makes You A Disciple of Jesus | John 8:31-32

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 enough, even for the crowd that day, and why James calls us to be doers of the word and not hearers only. He walks through what it means to hold to Jesus’ teaching, to abide in Him the way a branch abides in the vine, and offers scripture memory as one practical, doable way to start. The message closes with Jesus’ promise that the truth will set us free, and an honest look at what still holds so many of us as slaves: our own sense of being good enough, a faith we inherited but never made our own, or a sin we know is destroying us. It ends with an invitation to become a real disciple of Jesus, not just a believer in Him.

What Happened at the Global Methodist General Conference

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 volunteers from countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, India, and Bulgaria found themselves unified around a new Articles of Faith, the first update to the church’s historic statement of belief in 455 years. Reading from John 17:20-23, he connects that unity to Jesus’ own prayer for His church: that they may be one. This message covers the global reach of the Global Methodist Church, what it means to hold onto Methodist and Wesleyan doctrine after disaffiliating from the United Methodist Church, and why the local church, not a denomination or an annual conference, is where disciples are actually made.

Why Jesus Built a Fire Peter Would Never Forget | John 21:1-19

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 because they don't know what else to do. Jesus doesn't wait for them to get their lives back together. He builds a fire, feeds them breakfast, and then asks Peter the same question three times: “Do you love me?”, undoing each of Peter's three denials and recommissioning him with the words, “Feed my sheep.” This message traces the phrase “charcoal fire,” which John uses only twice in his Gospel: once in the courtyard where Peter denied Christ, and once on this beach where Christ restores him. Whatever failure you're carrying, this is a picture of what Jesus does with it. He doesn't erase it, he redeems it, because restored people become sent people.

Why Jesus Ate With the Man Who Would Betray Him | Luke 22:7-32

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, proclamation, redemption, and completion) to show what Jesus meant when He said “This is my body given for you” and “This cup is the new covenant in my blood.”Jesus knew Judas would betray Him, Peter would deny Him, and the rest would argue over who was the greatest, and He still eagerly desired to share this meal with them. That same invitation stands today: no self-help book, 90-day plan, or subscription can fix what's broken in you, but the blood of the Lamb can.

Would You Climb a Tree for Jesus? | Luke 19:1-10

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 does all three, and Jesus responds by calling him by name and inviting himself to dinner. Zacchaeus’ story ends with a total reversal: he gives away half of what he owns and repays everyone he cheated four times over. It’s proof that a real encounter with Jesus doesn’t just forgive you. It changes what you do with your time, your money, and your relationships.

You Don't Have to Clean Up Before You Meet Jesus | Luke 5:27-32

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 through what happened next: Levi got up and followed without negotiating the terms, his heart began to shift from grasping to generosity, and by the end of that same day he had gathered his entire community to meet Jesus. Along the way we talk about grace, what real surrender costs, why transformation takes community, and why welcome that truly lands can't stay small. This is week one of our series "A Place at the Table," where we're taking communion every week as we look at the meals Jesus shared.Visit us online at mettermethodist.comFollow along on Facebook at facebook.com/mettermethodistSubscribe for a new message every week

The Real Main Character in the Prodigal Son Story | Luke 15:1-3, 11-32

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 their way back into their father’s good graces. Neither has to. The father’s love is already extravagant, running out to meet rebellion and quietly correcting resentment before either son can finish making his case. Whether you find yourself further from God than you’d like to admit, or closer to the older brother, keeping score and running on empty, this sermon on the prodigal son points to the same invitation: come home. 00:00 Welcome and Recap: The Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin 03:31 Scripture Reading: Luke 15:1–3, 11–32 06:30 The Younger Son Comes to His Senses 14:05 The Older Son’s Hidden Resentment 18:43 The Real Main Character: A Prodigal Father 22:31 Which Son Are You? 27:04 Three Questions to Take Home 27:53 Closing Prayer Metter Methodist Church is a Global Methodist congregation in Metter, Georgia, led by Pastor Allen Cason.
