I am currently preaching a sermon series called “A Blueprint for Becoming Disciples.” In this sermon series we are looking at the method that caused our spiritual forebears to be called Methodist. John Wesley instituted an intentional method that he believed would help people move from initial faith in Jesus to a deep, life changing relationship with God. This sermon series is based on the conviction that many people want to grow in their relationship with God, but they aren’t always sure how. This series uses the General Rules and the accountability structure of early Methodism as a guide for a contemporary blueprint for becoming disciples.
Here are the titles of the sermons I will be preaching:
- The Method Behind the Madness (January 20, 2008)
- Just the Beginning (January 27, 2008)
- Rule # 1: Do No Harm (February 3, 2008)
- Rule # 2: Love and Serve Your Neighbor (February 10, 2008)
- Rule # 3: Love and Serve God (February 17, 2008)
- Watching Over One Another in Love (February 24, 2008)
- Finding the Balance (March 2, 2008)
- Where Are You Going? (March 9, 2008)
The first sermon in this series has been uploaded to my podcast and I plan to get the second one up today or tomorrow. (I have been having some trouble with gcast, which is why I am behind.) You can listen to the sermons here. If you do listen to them, I would love to hear your thoughts, reactions, criticisms.
Kevin – I had forgotten about the podcast! I had lost all of my podcasts and had missed putting this one back on. I am excited to hear đŸ™‚
Thanks Andrew! I will be interested to hear your thoughts.
Kevin – I am listening to the first sermon of this series on the podcast and am loving it. I wondered at first if it was being preached for the congregation at Lamont as well as a larger audience. I liked how you sought to make it real for the people of Lamont as well as addressing issues that affect much broader parts of the country. Great stuff!
