Sundays: September 1-29, 2024
At Carlisle UMC our vision is to Live Like Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what living like Jesus means. The decision to follow Jesus means saying yes to a countercultural way of living as part of God's people and God's kingdom. This is the way.
Sundays: April 19 - May 21
How do we cultivate a life of inner joy that isn't dependent on external circumstances and the next big experience, but abides in the ups and downs of everyday life? Together we will explore practices from "The Book of Joy" that cultivate resilient and abiding joy.
Sundays: February 26 - April 2, 2023
Jesus spent much of his life among the lowly and outsiders. The gospel account of Luke highlights this more clearly than any of the other gospels. It is a joyful invitation to know and love Jesus who loved all people, and to follow his lowly way as we Live Like Jesus.
Sundays: February 5-19, 2023
God is always at work in our lives and the lives of others, but God depends on us to tell God's story and make God's loving kindness visible. Learning to speak of God's work in our life increases our faith and lifts the faith of others.
Sundays: January 8 - 29, 2023
We all know information is easy to find, but wisdom can be hard to come by. Start 2023 with some time-tested wisdom from the book of Proverbs. Read a chapter each day in January of this ancient book of wisdom. On Sundays we will explore what wisdom is, why we need it, and explore topics like friendship, words, and happiness.
Sundays: November 27 - December 18, 2022
We will look at the messages of the angels (messengers) in the Christmas story. We will learn about the role of angels and consider what it means to see and be messengers of hope, peace, joy, and love.
SUNDAYS: October 30-November 20, 2022
Generosity has the power to touch lives...partner with God...grow our faith...increase our joy...decrease our fear...and take hold of what is truly life. Interest rates are rising. Inflation is driving up prices. Housing costs are through the roof. Even with these circumstances, you can arrange your finances so that you do more than survive.
Sundays: October 2-30, 2022
In a time of political polarization and divisive issues, BE part of this movement to make our communities and the world more like the Kingdom of God!
In 700 BC, in a time with many similarities to today, the prophet Micah asked and answered the question: What does God require of us? The answer was simple: Do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God. (Micah 6:8)
We believe we can love our neighbors and recover and reclaim these three essential practices.
Sundays: August 28 - September 18, 2022
From the day we are born we are told who we should be. We compare ourselves to others, conform to fit in, and project only the best parts of who we are. All of this keeps us from our true identity. When we learn to love ourselves as God loves us we begin to see that God created us to be unique. We invite you to join us for a series dedicated to discovering how to Be Yourself. (Based on a Sermon Series from Matt Miofsky - description from that series).
A series about who we are, where we go wrong, and how we get back to who wee are created to be.
Sundays: July 24 - August 21
Many of us know about the people of the Old Testament from what we knew as a child. Hearing their stories as grown-ups can help us find courage, hope, and purpose and find the same God that was faithful in their lives is also present and faithful in ours.
Sunday, June 26 - Sunday, July 10
Just before he ascends into heaven, Jesus gathers his disciples together one last time to give them his final instructions. He leaves them with the directive to 'go and make disciples of all nations.' Road Trip Sermon Series will explore the adventures of being a follower of Jesus. Are you ready to go?
Sundays: April 24-May 15, 2022
In this series we will explore 4 practices of peace-making that can serve as guides for us to have courageous conversations. 1. Ask anything; 2. Listen well; 3. Freely disagree; & 4. Love regardless. We hope that these can become 4 marks of our life together as a church and can be a guide for us to have better conversations even when we disagree.
Sundays: March 6-April 10, 2022
We will explore Jesus' 7 Last Words from the Cross. We will see how they offer a window into the heart of God and the heart of the gospel. Throughout the series we will also take time to understand the meaning and atoning work of the cross as understood in multiple 'theories of atonement.'
