A Year with John Wesley and Our Methodist Values
F. Douglas Powe Jr., Henry H. Knight III, Henry H. Knight, ...

A Year with John Wesley and Our Methodist Values is an engaging and provocative study of the practices of discipleship that are of "the Methodist way." Brief scholarly reflections on Wesleyan themes are followed by short essays making recurring Wesley tenets timely and relevant to today's world. Covering on...
Celebrating the Offering
Melvin Amerson, James Amerson
In a culture where it's easy to think of ourselves as self-made, we need a reminder that all blessings have been given to us by a generous God.
In many congregations, the offering happens without much forethought. We may even consider it a crass interruption to the spiritual flow of worship. But it's actually an important, biblical part of the service. It gives us a chance to focus on giving thanks and giving back to the God who has so generously given to us.
If you're looking to revitalize ...
Mission Trips That Matter
Embodied Faith for the Sake of the World
Don C. Richter

Mission trips and alternative spring breaks are on the rise. Millions ...

Afire with God
Becoming Spirited Stewards
Betsy Schwarzentraub
Stewardship is a dirty word in most churches.
Pastors preach about it knowing they must while members sit uncomfortably through the "it's-that-time-again" sermons and other appeals. Afire with God urges ministries and congregations to become stewards-in-action of all God has entrusted to us. Members go beyond thinking in terms of dollars contributed to see stewardship as becoming living examples of the gospel.
"Real stewardship is radical, which means going to the roots of our faith," writes ...
The Jesus Priorities
8 Essential Habits
Christopher Maricle
"Imagine my surprise at learning that I needed to get to know my God a lot better."
Despite lifelong Christian devotion, Maricle came to this startling realization after experiencing a crisis of faith.
"I needed answers that are so fundamental to Christian living," he writes. "Why is this life, at times, so hard? Why isn't my faith helping me? Why am I finding no comfort in prayer? These questions—and the struggles behind them—challenged all my notions of faith, my perception of God and the...
Living into the Mystery
A United Methodist Guide for Celebrating Holy Communion
Taylor Burton-Edwards
Available only as a PDF
Rituals help us identify with a group of people and pledge what we share. Such communal events help us express the often inexpressible. "United Methodists strongly affirm that the Lord's Table is the Lord's," the writers of this timely resource say. "We also affirm with the whole church that in the Great Thanksgiving 'we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving, a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ's offering for us.'"
The sacrament of the Eucharist is...
Reclaiming the Wesleyan Tradition
John Wesley's Sermons for Today
Robert McDonald-Walker, Kevin Watson, Douglas M. Strong, ...
Come back home to God!
Salvation is a central theme in John Wesley's writings. Wesley urged people to become and continually grow as committed disciples of Jesus Christ. His appeals and reasoning are just as relevant today as they were in the 18th century.
"Wesley's 'Way of Salvation' is a road map of the journey of humanity toward God," write the authors. "It's a pathway of grace in which we respond to God with increasing self-awareness of our separation and our need to come back home. Our a...
