In the midst of life’s turmoil, the writer of the 116th psalm invites us to raise the cup of freedom and call upon the Lord. In both the 23rd psalm and Luke’s story about the apostle Peter raising Tabitha from the dead (Acts 9:36-42) there is a sense of revival and restoration in what God is doing for us during dark and dreary times. In this podcast, Pastor Russ will remind us to listen for the voice of God inviting us to Rise Again when life tends to get us down.

Forgiveness is not easy. In today’s episode, from the Apostle Peter’s perspective in the 21st Chapter of John’s Gospel, Pastor Russ talks about how Jesus stands at the shore of our lives inviting us to remember forgiveness begins by first forgiving oneself, freely offering to us all the life sustaining bread we need.

When God Laughs 22:32

16 days ago22:32

22:32

This week Russ is out exploring so DeAnne Heersche filled the void today: God has a sense of humor that he uses to communicate with us, mostly to teach us humility and to focus on our humanity. Jesus began his ministry with humor, as prophesied in the Old Testament. We encounter God's sense of humor through our interactions with other people, with God giving us signs - literally as bumper stickers or other signs, or through songs that play at opportune times. Mostly God demonstrates his humor through our experiences when things don't go as planned and he teaches us that he is with us, or that maybe we didn't act as we should have. Learn to listen to God's humorous communications to grow closer to him. Prefer to see the service live and hear the choir also? https://youtube.com/@faithmulvane4557?si=KoEmghKxxWNyT4Lw…

In the 24th chapter of Luke's Gospel, Luke shares the story of frightened and grieving women making their way to the tomb on that very first Easter morning only to discover it is empty, and two men in "dazzling clothing" telling them to "remember." And remember they did! Prefer to see the service live and hear the choir also? https://youtube.com/@faithmulvane4557?si=KoEmghKxxWNyT4Lw…

Lust 23:14

23:14

Lust, the last of the Seven Deadly Sins, and yet, in a lot of ways, it is one of the most “deadly.” Deadly, not only because it affects the heart, but when used in ways that are contrary to God’s will a multitude of other sins grow from it.

The Easter Cantata 36:11

36:11

It’s been a week, literally. Last week was Youth Sunday and I did not have a sermon to share. This week (being a busy lenten season) was the Easter Cantata (Choral with narrations) and did not want to leave another week without a sermon. So in lieu of a sermon this Sunday, I give you the (all volunteer) Mulvane United Methodist Church Choirs’ Easter Cantata with narration by DeAnne; along with solos in order by Mandy, Dan, Rae, and Mary. Knowing most podcast players are not made for music, if you would like a copy of the file that made this then let the church know that you would like the AV guys copy of the Easter Cantata and I will find a way to get it to you. Peace be with you this upcoming Holy Week. - Robert the AV Guy Prefer to see the service live and hear the choir also? https://youtube.com/@faithmulvane4557?si=KoEmghKxxWNyT4Lw…

Anger 22:12

22:12

Anger happens. It’s simply part of what it means for us to be human. Yet despite it all, it still shows up as the third deadliest on the list of the Seven Deadly Sins . In this sermon, Pastor Russ will examine the ways in which our anger causes harm not only to our relationships with others, God, and ourselves, but how we can keep our anger in check using it as a force for good.

Truths come in all shapes and sizes, and serve as the foundation of our relationships. God's promises are something that bring a universal truth for our foundations for navigating today's challenges.

Pride 22:42

22:42

Pride Goeth before the fall (Proverbs 16:18). The ideas of vice and virtue predate our modern Christianity and harken back to Greek philosophers. The balance between those vices and virtues were socratic but let's not put pride in a little box. Can I be proud of my family, my ministry, my job? I think I can but not if that pride picks me up by putting someone else down, that kind of pride is what satan tempted Jesus with in the wilderness. - Synopsis by Robert the AV guy - Russ is traveling Prefer to see the service live and hear the choir also? https://youtube.com/@faithmulvane4557?si=KoEmghKxxWNyT4Lw…

Fill My Cup with Meaning 15:41

15:41

Accumulating more resources than we need is a game that can leave us feeling empty and frightened inside, as if we’ll never have enough. But when we spend our time playing a different kind of game finding meaning for our lives, we find a richness within our soul and that we always have more than enough even in difficult times.

Fill My Cup With Grace 18:42

18:42

A scarcity mindset, fearful there’s not ever enough, ravages our energy and keeps us mindful of only caring for “our own.” God’s vision is about investing our interest in the wellbeing of all people, holding nothing back. By dipping into the jar of God’s abundant grace, freely giving it away, we learn it will never run out.
