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: February 6 - 20, 2022
In a world in which we can be anything, the good life comes when we learn to live in the power of the Spirit and receive the gift of living like Jesus. It's the life that we yearn for. It's the life of our families, communities and world are hungry for.
Sundays: January 9 - 30, 2022
"This is the marvel of marvels," said C.S. Lewis, "that he called me Beloved." We are beloved by God. His love is where we find our identity, our security, our authority. Then, and only then, can we become what Dr. King called the beloved community. We lead with love - we love because He first loved us.
Sundays, November 28 - December 19, 2021
Following the story of Scrooge's redemption, we see a picture of the redemption promised to each of us in Christ. Christ comes to break our heard hearts wide open to grace and joy as God redeems our past, present, and future. This Christmas, let us all travel from Bah! Humbug! to Merry Christmas one and all!
Sundays: October 31 - November 21, 2021
As children, many of us received a leather-bound book full of long words and difficult names we couldn't pronounce. We were told everything in it was true and we should do our best to abide by its teachings. Then we grew up. What was oh-so-simple then is...well, it's not simple. Perhaps that's because we were taught Bible stories but not the story of the Bible.
Sundays: October 10-24
As we celebrate God's faithfulness during our first year and move to celebrate our Grand Opening 2.0 on October 24, we give thanks for God's love and look forward to being rooted and grounded in love for many years to come.
Sundays: August 29 - October 3, 2021
When Jesus taught he often spoke in parables - short stories from real life that address important questions: What is God really like? How are we meant to live? Why do we struggle to do the right thing? Through the parables, Jesus sought to reveal what the Kingdom of God is like to teach us the meaning of life. Some are simple to understand. Some are challenging. Join us as we sit at Jesus' feet and hear the stories Jesus told.
Sundays: July 25 - August 15, 2021
The Olympic motto is: Faster, better, stronger. Watching the Olympics is not only fun, it can inspire us to reach for new heights in our faith.
Sundays: June 6-July 18, 2021
In a recent survey, 80% of Americans say they have prayed at one time. Yet, we struggle with prayer. Does God hear us? Is God tired of our please? Do our words seem superficial? Does prayer matter? How do we pray?
This summer, we will have 2 ways to grow together in prayer: This sermon series on the Lord's Prayer and the 333 Congregational Prayer Initiative. The 333 Prayer Initiative gets it's name from our church address, 333 S. Spring Garden St. We will challenge each other to pray daily for our church and take prayer walks in our neighborhoods.
More on the 333 Prayer Initiative can be found here.
Sundays: April 11-May 16
The best stories have surprising twists, unexpected encounters, and new life. The best stories give us hope. These are stories we all need. These are the stories God wants to write with us.
Sundays: February 21 - March 28, 2021
We will see Jesus Christ through the eyes of his earliest followers as we do an inspiring sermon series based upon the first book ever written about Jesus: The Gospel according to Mark. You will learn about the culture and times in which Jesus lives. And you'll come to understand his ministry and message like you've never known before. Ultimately Mark's Gospel was written to reveal the identity of Jesus. Each narrative in this gospel answers the question, "Who is this man?" These sermons are for anyone who would like to know more about Jesus Christ. Each week you can follow along in reading through the book of Mark and discover for yourself who this man is.

January 17-February 14, 2021
Sometimes it seems like the world gives us every reason to tear each other apart and dehumanize people who are not like us. On a personal level, sometimes it’s easy to look around and find all the reasons that we are not enough in who we are. What’s missing is what we hold in common: the recognition of the image of God in the face of the other AND in the face in the mirror. Recognizing the image of God in others is foundational to convictions like God’s love, equality, human dignity, and justice. Recognizing the image of God in ourselves firmly grounds our own sense of worth, potential, purpose, and calling. Let’s see ourselves as God sees us as we take a transformational look at some of our most pressing challenges from the vital Biblical idea that we are all created in the image of God.
