Series Overview
We are starting a new series in the month of April, “Why I Am a United Methodist.” This series examines the ways United Methodism has made and will continue to make a difference in our lives and in the lives of our community around us. This first sermon in the series maintains that our faith is not a personal faith, one to be kept to ourselves, a personal matter. But one that is lived out in the world in the social sphere. United Methodists don’t just talk about a life in Christ but live it out in ways that reflect God’s love. The depth of our love for God is revealed by the way we love with our words and our deeds, those whom God loves.

Sermon Overview
This week we will consider what God wants from us as disciples and how He empowers us to meet His expectations. We will talk about a fourfold test that United Methodists have to guide us in our decision making and help us live lives that are pleasing to God. We will also consider three aspects of our theology that define who we are and how we live. All of these truths point to our ultimate reality. God wants us to grow in our faith and maturity.
