S7E15: You Are Not Lacking (Somos del Senor pt. 1)
Monday Jan 20, 2020
Monday Jan 20, 2020
In this ordinary time between the Baptism of the Lord and the Transfiguration, we are going to be examining Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth, commonly called 1 Corinthians, in a series titled "Somos del Senor" (We Belong to Christ). Over the next few weeks we will be looking at what it means to be a part of the body of Christ, sealed by His blood, and one in our faith in Him. Even though we may belong to many different denominations, it is our love for God in Jesus Christ that draws us together to proclaim, "We belong to Christ." Today we look at Paul's greeting to the church in Corinth, his thankfulness for their faith and the grace of God, and we see how this letter may be addressed to us today. Yet we must also understand that this is a letter written to the members of Christ's body, and not to the pagan society surrounding them and us.

S1E7: New Beginnings (Baptism of the Lord 2014)

Monday Jan 13, 2020
In the Methodist tradition, there are few who can actually remember their baptism. But we believe that it's not about what we do, but what God has done. In today's message, I challenge our congregation at Hudson United Methodist Church to remember their baptism, and to rejoice.

S2E34: Arise, Shine! (Epiphany 2015)

God is the source of all light. So when Jesus calls us the light of the world, he meant that we reflect the light of God in a world of darkness and sin. But God is the source. In today's reading, Isaiah says that God's glory will rise upon his people and they will arise and shine in the world, and will attract others out of the darkness. So grab your Bible, turn it to Isaiah chapter 60, and prepare your heart and mind as we heed the words of Isaiah, to arise and shine.
