Sunday (8/28)

We are at the halfway point in our journey through The Gospel of John all-church worship and small group series. During the first week our theme was the “Identity of Jesus.” The second week we focused on the theme of “Eternal Life.” Last week we turned our attention to “Jesus as Food.” This week we will focus on “Light” within John’s Gospel. The worship services, small group discussions, and memory verse for this week are all connected to the theme. You can watch The Gospel of John small group study videos and discuss them with others. The videos can be found on the AUMC website using the following link:

The Gospel of John all-church worship and small group series began on August 7th. During the first week, our theme was the Identity of Jesus, which includes “the Word,” “Christ,” “the Lamb of God,” “the Son of God,” and much more revealed by the gospel writer in his account of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Last week, we focused on the theme of “Eternal Life” within John’s Gospel. This week, we are turning our attention to “Jesus as Food.” The worship services, small group discussions, and memory verse for this week are all connected to the theme.

Sunday (8/14)

Our seventh annual all-church worship and small group series began on August 7th. During the next few months, we will seek to center our lives in Jesus and walk closer to him as he is revealed to us through the Spirit of Christ, the church, and within The Gospel of John. We hope you will join us for weekly worship services either in-person or online throughout the series, as well as go through the small group study with at least one other believer and read John’s Gospel using this Your Faith Journey weekly plan. On Sunday mornings and within the small group study sessions we will focus on eight of the themes John uses within the gospel account he wrote to reveal the truth about who Jesus is and what his life, death, and resurrection means for us. You will be encouraged to look for those themes as you read, beginning with the first four in August and then the last four in September. The theme for this week is “Eternal Life.”

Sunday (7/31)

This week we will conclude our reading of the book of 2 Kings. The books of 1 & 2 Kings were written together as one scroll to tell the stories of the various kings and the divided kingdom of the Israelites during hundreds of years after the death of King David from about 970 to 561 B.C. Although the final chapter of the book describes the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple, 2 Kings ends with a glimmer of hope.

 

During the next few months, we will take a break from our 2022 journey through the Old Testament to focus on the Gospel of John during the all-church series, which begins on August 7th. As a congregation, we will read John’s Gospel together. If you would like to purchase a Gospel of John Scripture Journal for $4, which includes all of the verses from the gospel account as well as space for writing notes and journaling, they are available at AUMC on Sunday mornings.

Sunday (7/24)

This week we will finish reading the book of 1 Kings and begin 2 Kings. The books of 1 & 2 Kings were written together as one scroll to tell the stories of the various kings and the divided kingdom of the Israelites during hundreds of years after the death of King David. The season of history within 1 & 2 Kings concludes with the Temple and city of Jerusalem being destroyed by the Babylonians and the people of God forced to leave their homeland to go to Babylon.

Sunday (7/10)

This week we will conclude our reading of the book of 2 Samuel, which reveals the disfunction and brokenness of King David’s family.

This week we will begin reading the book of 2 Samuel, which is a continuation of the stories of 1 Samuel. Samuel was a prophet chosen by God to anoint the first two kings of Israel. 1 Samuel shared the prophet’s story as well as the story of King Saul and David. Our reading plan for this week is a continuation from the past few weeks, but it now focusses specifically on the story of King David.
