To the Lost Sheep
Continuing the series on starting with “why,” Pastor Bob wrestles with a difficult scripture about a Canaanite woman who seeks healing for a loved one.
You Give Them Something
We begin a new Sermon Series called Starting with Why during this month August. In this first message of the series, Pastor Bob explores the familiar story of a large crowd receiving a needed meal.

Consider the role that compassion holds in our life of faith and how we are called…
Living in Prayer
We conclude this short sermon series with the reminder that prayer isn’t necessarily easy. Even the disciples asked how to pray, and Paul reminds us that we don’t always have to have the right words to do so. But we also must remember that prayer isn’t limited to just words! Scripture: Romans 8:26-39
Creation Waits
We continue the series, Nothing Can Separate Us, with a connection with creation alongside the idea that even in suffering we are connected. Scripture: Romans 8:12-25

We begin a new three-week sermon series acknowledging the feeling of separation when we’re unable to gather together. Where might God be calling us, how might God be strengthening us, and how is God’s Spirit in our midst? Scripture: Romans 8:1-11
Origin Stories
This first message during a new “appointment” at LJUMC includes a dialogue message with both Pastor Bob and Pastor Lea as they discuss their beginnings of faith and their calls to ministry. Scripture: Genesis 11:1-9; Acts 2:1-11
