THE FAITH, HEART, AND POWER OF A METHODIST
Revelation 2:1-4 (NIV)
1. ALL MAY COME.
“And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to
teach their family, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone,
from the least to the greatest, will already know Me.” Hebrews 8:11(NLT)
2. ALL MAY RECEIVE.
“In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when
even one sinner repents.” Luke 15:10 (NLT)
3. ALL MAY ENJOY.
“After He said this, He showed them His hands and said, ‘Peace be
with you!’ The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.” John 20:20 (NIV)
4. ALL MUST LEARN.
“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness
through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and
goodness.” 2 Peter 1:3 (NIV)
5. ALL MUST SERVE.
“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a
drink. I was a stranger and you invited me into your home, I was
naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I
was in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25:35-36 (NLT)
6. ALL MUST SHARE.
“And now God is building you, as living stones, into His spiritual temple.
What’s more you are God’s holy priests, who offer the spiritual sacrifices






The founder of the Methodist church, John Wesley took the church to the people. He took the church to the fields where farmers worked their crops. He took the church to wherever the people were, that’s where he preached. It’s kind of like Pastor Steve’s approach with the ipod ministry. This gives our church a way with technology to take the church to where people are. Some have to work on Sunday morning. Some may be frail or in poor health and not able to make it to a traditional church service. The Ipod ministry and other uses of technology offer a way to take the weekend’s message to where the people are in a very efficient way.
