This term Maundy Thursday helps us to recall Jesus’ mandate to remember Him, using the observance of Holy Communion/The Lord’s Supper… Today’s scripture comes from two segments of Luke Chapter 22.Luke 22:19-20 “And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given

God in us

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV)“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”I did not grow up in a household where giving something up for Lent was a custom. When I was a little older, there seemed to be a trend where it became more popular. Perhaps that is simply my perception. For a period, one of the more popular trends seemed to be giving up something you love like chocolate. And then there seemed to be a trend of sermons that taught us why

Welcome to Grace for All, a daily devotional podcast written and produced by the people of First United Methodist Church in Maryville, Tennessee. Today we are replaying an episode that we posted more than a year ago. Its title is "Sweet Tea," and it was written by Barbara Barton. In that episode she mentions that she has been in hospice for some time. Sadly, Barbara passed away last week. Her life was a blessing to our church and our community. We believe that sharing her words again today will be

Matthew 6:16-18 (CEB) “And when you fast, don’t put on a sad face like the hypocrites. They distort their faces so people will know they are fasting. I assure you that they have their reward. When you fast, brush your hair and wash your face. Then you won’t look like you are fasting to people, but only to your Father who is present in that secret place. Your Father who sees in secret will reward you. One of my friends (let’s call her Ann) once shared a memorable story about her daughter, Tina, who

God’s Mercy and Forgiveness

Psalm 103:8-12 (KJV)“The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide, neither will he keep his anger forever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” This verse from Psalms allows me to breathe easier. I certainly have accumulated a long list of actions and thoughts that could provoke God’s anger and retribution. But I know from this verse and many others that this is not how God deals with us. He

Luke 5:29-32 NRSV Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others reclining at the table with them. The Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick; I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” We look down on the Pharisees for assigning

King David, a young shepherd boy taken to become king and represent God’s will, after many years of success, is tempted by Bathsheba and commits sin compounded by sin.

II Corinthians 5:17This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!In the spring of 2010, Easter came early. It was one of those years where you wondered if you would need winter boots with your pretty new Easter frock, or if the spring sun would break through the crisp air just enough to keep you comfortable.

Isaiah 58:6-7 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? I grew up in a church tradition that did not observe Lent and therefore Lenten practices like fasting or “giving something up.” Save that

Jesus In the Desert

Matthew 4:1-2 "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry." I'm not proud of this, but I often find myself reading the Bible so quickly and superficially that I miss the deeper meaning of the stories. The account of Jesus’ temptation in the desert is one of those stories for me. I’ve read it dozens of times, and my mind tends to jump straight to the conclusion, and the realization that in

Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, very patient, full of faithful love, and ready to forgive. The Prophet Joel was tired of the shallow faith he saw in the lives of the people around him. Theirs was a “surface” type of faith. Saying all the right things but without remorse or commitment to real and
