Your Week with St. Luke's St. Luke's UMC Orlando

Get ready for the summer with this special episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, where pastors Jenn & Melissa discuss the core values of St. Luke’s. 

In our last week in our Church on Purpose, we come together to look at what the church community is all about and how we find purpose in how we live and lead our lives together. Join pastor Melissa for a Pentecost episode looking at the beginning of the church and the inbreaking of the Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2. 

If I am the church, it means you, too, are the church: so what can we learn from Acts 15 about what we do when it seems like our different ways of being church are in conflict with one another? Continue exploring what it means to be Church on Purpose with Pastor Melissa as we look at a key conflict in the early church and how it shows us who we are called to be as a church. 

What does it mean to be Church on Purpose? We have to embrace that we each carry the resurrection power of Jesus with each of us. Listen to this lecture from Pastor Melissa on a story from Acts 9 that highlights an unexpected healing story of a disciple who leads a life of purpose in all she does.
 

This week's podcast, St. Luke's on Purpose: More Inclusion, we get to hear from Dr. Ebby Arnold from the Candler Foundry as she discusses, "How do we live on purpose as a church for the rest of the world."
