Sower and the Seed sermon
The Parable of the Sower and the Seed (Luke 8) is about radical transformation from dirt to new life that happens from God's Word and the dangers that come for those seeking spiritual growth!
Honest Faith: Suffering
Satan challenges God by saying that Job is only faithful because of the blessings God has given him. God allows Satan to take Job's possessions and children but not harm Job. Messengers tell Job that raiders have taken his livestock and servants, and a wind has killed his children. Job tears his clothes and worships God, saying "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away" without blaming God.
Amazing Life - Overcoming Paralysis 01.06.19
The document discusses the importance of obedience to God and choosing life over death. It contains passages from Deuteronomy 30 instructing the Israelites that God's commandments are accessible and not too difficult to follow. It warns that disobedience and worshipping other gods will lead to destruction, while choosing life through obedience to God will result in blessings. The document emphasizes some ways people can become too distracted or short-sighted to obey God, and encourages focusing on living in a way one's mature children would advise.
Amazing Life - Overcoming the Emptiness

based on Ecclesiastes 1 & 2
Every wrestle with being too busy and yet too unfulfilled? Solomon holds the key.
Restore to Nobility
This document discusses nobility and having a greater purpose in life. It references finding desires within oneself that cannot be satisfied by worldly experiences, suggesting this may indicate being made for another, non-worldly existence. The document also references Mt. Pleasant and repeatedly features the phrase "The Heart of Nobility".
Restored from Exile
God speaks hope to a Valley of Dry Bones. Sermon prepared for Mt Pleasant UMC, for May 6, 2018. Audio and video available at www.mympumc.net
Restore 3
This document contains excerpts from the Bible discussing living as a new creation in Christ and having a true identity in Him. It encourages overcoming fear and acting courageously like Esther, who risked her life to save her people. Three key messages are to not be afraid to stand alone for what is right, to rock the boat if needed, and to act on God's leading through worship, prayer, and studying the Bible. The overall message is about finding identity and purpose in Christ rather than living in fear.
Restore 2
The document discusses various items and their appraised values, including an Easter item valued at $100 originally but now $500,000, a picture of a grandmother valued at $700,000, and a Navajo blanket valued over $1,000,000. It also contains several biblical passages about being restored, receiving a new heart, and God healing his people. Key themes are restoration, faith overcoming obstacles, and not giving up despite present suffering.
Restore: to bring Back, to return to it's Original condition
We've got to allow God to strip down all the years of grime and cheap paint piled on top of each other. He needs to get down to the bare original so He can begin to fill the cracks, sand the rough edges, and make our hearts beautiful again. He’s already looked beneath the layers and has determined that we're all worth doing over.

Rise and Shine 3
This document contains quotes and passages about compassion. It encourages the reader to unleash compassion by finding God through silence, helping the hungry and oppressed, and bringing sunshine to others' lives. Practicing compassion consistently and courageously makes one's light shine and brings happiness, understanding, love, and a more beautiful world.
Rise and Shine 2
This document contains excerpts from Isaiah 58:1-12 discussing true fasting and compassion. It urges people to loose chains of injustice, share food with hungry, and clothe the naked to call God. True fasting involves acting with justice and mercy, not just outward rituals. It promises that acting with compassion will lead to healing, righteousness, and God's presence and help. The document encourages rising up with courageous, consistent, and contagious compassion to witness happiness, deeper understanding, love, and make the world more beautiful.

Rise and Shine
The document encourages Christians to pursue a Christ-centered life as children of light. It reminds them that through faith in Jesus, who died for their salvation, they have been given life even in death. Christians are urged to speak encouraging words to one another, build each other up in hope, and not sleepwalk through life like unbelievers. They belong to the day and should act like children of the light by walking in faith, love, and hope of salvation.
Living a Better Story
from Mt Pleasant United Methodist Church

sermon notes and video available at www.mympumc.net
How to Live a Better Story 3
Philip tells Nathanael about Jesus and invites him to "come and see." When Jesus sees Nathanael approaching, he says he saw Nathanael under a fig tree before Philip called him. Surprised, Nathanael declares that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus promises Nathanael that he will see greater things, including heaven opening and angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.
How to Live a Better Story 2
The document discusses living a better story and soaring like eagles. It encourages the reader not to stay down in depression but to rise up and see the sky. It says one cannot soar without growing wings through faith and cannot soar without training, commitment, and setting deadlines to avoid an ambiguous life. The reader is asked if they are ready to soar with eagles.
How to Live a Better Story
This document discusses living a better story and finding the life you were meant for. It references several Bible verses about belief, adventure, wealth, faith, and God. It includes quotes about awakening the soul and living urgently instead of with complacency. The overall message encourages the reader to live purposefully and not settle for less than their full potential.
Because of Bethlehem Part 1
The document summarizes Jesus beginning his ministry in Galilee after John the Baptist was imprisoned. It quotes passages from Matthew and Isaiah about Jesus preaching in Galilee and the land receiving light after being in darkness. It also discusses how through Christ, people are no longer strangers, separated from God, or slaves to sin and darkness but can walk with God.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
