St. Matthew's United Methodist Church

In our Road Trip Series, we look at Deborah, this great female judge and leader of the people. Her story, and all the book of Judges, shows how God will use unexpected people, like "them" and like us.

In our "Road Trip" series, Brian shares with us from Matthew 2: 13-23. We look at Joseph and how he was faithful to God, even when he was unsure. He trusted in God, even when it didn't always make sense!

In our Traditional message from June 15, 2025, Andy shares with us from Matthew 2: 13-23.  Joseph had plans for his life, good plans, but God came and upended all of these. Even though Joseph may not have understood it completely at first, he remained faithful. That's our call. Not perfection. Faithfulness.

In our Pentecost sermon, we read from Acts 21:1-21. We see that on this day, the Spirit was given to us. The church was born, but within that, the hope of Glory is Christ with us. We each have the Spirit, and we are called to that Good News of Jesus Christ with us outside the walls, into all the world!

Our VBS will explore different Road Trips in Scripture, so throughout the summer, in our sermons, we will examine various individuals who traveled with God. Today, we'll look at Abraham and the road trip of faith that takes us, with all of our faithfulness and faults.

In our Sunday sermon from May 18, 2025, Andy shares with us from Acts 11 1-18, the Lord pushes Peter to be uncomfortable, and to love people that can be hard to love. Let us not look at the world and see enemies where the Lord sees a harvest. 

In our Baccalaureate Service sermon, Mary Beth shares with us from John 4. In His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, we see Jesus look past labels and see her. And love her.  Jesus offers us grace, which, like water, flows to the broken places of our lives.

In our Traditional message from May 4, 2025, Andy shares with us from John 21: 1-19. We see Jesus restore Peter. He forgives Peter's sin and restores him.  He calls Peter by his name. Today, Jesus will restore. Listen for Him calling your name.

Come to the table: Just like the day on the seashore, Jesus is waiting to meet you. Jesus has answers for your questions. He has questions for you. He is waiting. He wants you to follow him and feed his sheep.

In our Traditional message from April 27, Brian shares with us from John 20: 19-31. We see the story of Thomas and his doubts, but this is, more importantly, a story of fear. Today, even in light of the resurrection, what are you afraid of?

In our INTERSECTION message from April 27, 2025, Mary Beth looks at John 20 19-31. We see Thomas and his doubts, but we also see the disciples and their fear. Why are you afraid? 

In our Easter sermon from our Traditional service, Andy looks at the story of John, Peter, and Mary, and how they came to believe in the resurrection. We don't need any gimmicks. We have the greatest story of all time, as Christians. He is Risen!  He is risen indeed! 

In our INTERSECTION Easter message, Brian shares with us from John 20: 1-18.  We as Christians have our great hope, because of Easter. He is risen! 

In our Good Friday message, Brian shares with us the true power of the cross.

In our Maundy Thursday service, Andy preaches from John 13. Before He goes to the cross, Jesus leaves with His disciples, and each of us, three things. An example of service. The promise of presence. And a new command. 

In our Holy Wednesday Message from our combined service with St. Columb's Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. Natalie Houghtby-Haddon shares about Jesus's all-embracing love, which takes in Peter, Judas, and even each of us. 

We welcome our guest preacher, our incoming District Superintendent, the Rev. Trey Haper, to share with us on Palm Sunday from Luke 19: 28-40. Jesus's entry into Jerusalem changed everything.
