St. Matthew's United Methodist Church

As we begin looking at the Lord's Prayer in this season of Lent, we turn to Matthew 6:9-13.  What does it mean to pray to Our Father, who art in Heaven?  What does it mean for us to say that His name is Holy?

In our INTERSECTION message from February 15, 2026, Steve shares with us from Hebrews 10: 19-25. May we always be the kind of church where we know that God is in our midst.

In our Traditional message from February 15, Andy shares with us from Hebrews 10: 19-15.  He explains why he considers himself a moderate. A moderate is not someone who does not have real theological or political thoughts and opinions. They will not break relationships over those differences.  This has been the historic reality of the United Methodist Church, and may it remain so 

In our INTERSECTION message from February 8, 2026, Andy shares with us from Philippians 4:4-7. We have a God to whom we can take all things in prayer. As we seek Him in prayer, we find His love, grace, and mercy.

In our sermon from February 1, 2026, Andy shares with us from Colossians 3:16-17. We are supposed to marinate ourselves in God's Word, let it drench up every part of who we are.  And when we do that, it will change how we live our very lives.

In our Traditional message from January 19, 2026, Andy shares with us from Matthew 5: 13-16.  We all want to leave a mark, we want to leave a legacy.  By being salt and light, we see what a true legacy looks like.

In our final sermon of the year for 2025, Andy looks at Psalm 148. We see the importance of praise to our lives; it is the metronome, it keeps the rhythm and beat to our lives.  Where was that rhythm of praise in 2025?  Where will you keep it in 2026?
