The Wesley Covenant Prayer Challenged

by

A Wednesday Evening Online Discipleship Study

4 Weeks Starting January 19 on Zoom

Wednesday Evening 4 Week Study

The Wesley Covenant Prayer has been used in Methodist services around the world on the first Sunday of the year since John Wesley introduced it in 1755. Wesley expected that people would pray this prayer as a way of remembering, renewing, and surrendering themselves in complete trust to God. When we pray it, we are to remember what living like Jesus looks like and what loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind and loving our neighbor as ourselves requires of us.

The Difficult Words of Jesus

Jesus provided his disciples teachings for how to follow Torah, God’s word; he told them parables to help them discern questions of ethics and of human nature; he offered them beatitudes for comfort and encouragement. But sometimes Jesus spoke words that followers then and now have found difficult. He instructs disciples to hate members of their own families (Luke 14:26), to act as if they were slaves (Matthew 20:27), and to sell their belongings and give to the poor (Luke 18:22). He restricts his mission (Matthew 10:6); he speaks of damnation (Matthew 8:12); he calls Jews the devil’s children (John 8:44).

In The Difficult Words of Jesus, Amy-Jill Levine shows how these difficult teachings would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how have they been understood over time, and how we might interpret them in the context of
the Gospel of love and reconciliation.

Dinner  RSVP for Messy Church, Dinner and Craft Bag Here

Sharing a meal is always an important part of our Messy Church and we would like to treat your family to dinner.  For families that will be joining us on Zoom, we will continue to deliver a ready to bake pepperoni pizza with your craft bag between 10am and noon on Saturday morning before Messy Church. Because the pizza will need to be refrigerated, you’ll want to be home near that time so your pizza isn’t sitting outside. For our in person families, pizza will be served at your table.  To RSVP for Messy Church and dinner, please click on the link above.  We would appreciate all reservations by noon on Thursday, October 7th.
