Students

"No Longer Strangers" is a walk through the letter to the Ephesians that teaches the church how to be a community of faith. In the midst of familiar, interpersonal conflicts, the writer of Ephesians reminds them that they are “now in Christ Jesus”, no longer strangers to God, and, importantly, no longer alienated from each other. This six-week series explores what it looks like to live rooted in reconciliation, vertical and horizontal, with God and neighbor.This week, Pastor Beth looks at Ephesians 4:25-5:2 and how God is the master teacher, showing us through Christ how to live so we can imitate, internalize and claim as our identity as his beloved children.

Gentleness and Self-Control

The sermon series uses some of Forrest’s most famous quotes in our exploration of the fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. The Galatians passage is used weekly, along with another scripture passage in which the “fruit of the day” is evident. May our faith be more “fruit-full” as we run the race set before us with perseverance and endurance, keeping our eyes on Jesus, and encourage others to run alongside us. Run, First UMC, Run! This sermon examines the fruits of gentleness and self-control using Colossians 3:12-17 where verse 17 says “And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.”

Psalm 104

The hymn, “All Things Bright and Beautiful,” was written by Cecil Frances Alexander and published in the book, “Hymns for Little Children” in 1848. This composition came out of her desire to teach the Apostle’s Creed to young students and illustrates the phrase, “I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven earth.” As we grow closer to another holiday season of thanks and giving, the wonderful words of this hymn remind us of our calling to be good stewards of all that God has generously provided. Our talents, our families, our privilege, our time, our earth, our finances, and more are ours to “do all the good we can” with always and everywhere. This week, we focus on Psalm 104 and in particular, verse 24 that says “O Lord, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.”

Recognition

Our choice of actions, both big and small, have a cascading impact on others, spreading outward like ripples on a pond. This visual metaphor emphasizes the power we have to create change in our communities through our choices and interactions with others. Every act of kindness and compassion, or negativity and hate, can have far-reaching consequences. In this series, we explore the beginnings of Jesus’ ministry in the Gospel of Luke. What can we learn from the choices that Jesus and those around him made? What difference did the “ripples” of those choices make both then and now? As followers of Jesus, how will the “ripples” of our choices make a difference on our campus, in our community, and around our world? In this sermon, we see that this isn’t the first time in scripture that Jesus has been recognized by God as his Son and Chosen which brings home the point that his disciples of then and now should listen to him.

Christ-Centered Action

As a faith family, we’re called to respond to the questions and challenges of life by seeking to find Christ in the midst of them. Our best action is to move in close to where God is, to seek God’s redemption and solution.

2 Corinthians 9

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. The words of the beloved hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness” was written by Rev. Thomas O. Chisholm in 1923. He was ordained a Methodist minister in 1903, but served only a single, brief appointment at Scottsville, Kentucky, due to ill health. Despite this unexpected adversity, Rev. Chisholm saw God’s faithful hand in the gifts that still surrounded him, and it was in that spirit of generous gratitude he not only survived, but he thrived! This three-week stewardship series uses both the Psalms and this classic hymn, to guide, encourage, and challenge us to be faithful caretakers of the gifts we’ve been given. As together, we love boldly, serve joyfully, lead courageously, and give generously, the ministries of First UMC will THRIVE!

Increasing

Of the four Gospels, Mark’s was written first and is the shortest. Its tone is also the most urgent. There are fewer details in the telling of events and the word “immediately” is used often. Our capital campaign, “Fulfilling the Master’s Plan: Honoring the Past and Ensuring the Future,” challenges us to do the work that’s urgently necessary “under our roof” so we can be better prepared to reach out and do the work that’s urgently necessary “beyond our walls.” The work of sharing Christ’s love in the heart of downtown Gainesville and far beyond with open hearts, open minds and open doors. Like countless others have in First UMC’s 160+ years of faithful discipleship, let’s say “Count me in!” Jesus modeled self-sacrificial love always and everywhere, ultimately giving up his own life through death on a cross. How can we increase our own commitment to self-sacrificial love on behalf of a world that God loved so much that he gave his only Son and raised him from the dead to show that LOVE WINS!
