No Sunday Activities for January 7, 2018
News

Due to the hazardous road conditions and frigid cold, we have decided to cancel all Sunday activities at Evangelical Methodist Church for January 7, 2018. We do not want to jeopardize anyone’s safety, so please keep safe and warm and check in on friends and neighbors.

Pastor Sean will still be preaching via Facebook Live at 10:30am from Mark 1:40-45. This is his first sermon of the new series, The Untouchables. To tune in, please visit the EMC Facebook page (facebook.com/ecityemc) and be sure to click the ‘Like’ and ‘Follow’ buttons for updates and notifications (see picture below).

May God bless you and your family as you worship together this very cold and icy weekend!

The Untouchables
Sermon Series

A leper. A cripple. A sinner. A man possessed by devils. A bleeding woman. A dead girl. All persons whose paths crossed Jesus. All broken. All dirty. By the standards of ordinary people, all untouchable.

But Jesus is no ordinary person.

The Son of God came into the world to touch it. To transform it. To make all things new. He wasn’t disgusted by our “stuff.” He didn’t avoid it, instead he touched it and made it clean.

This collection of sermons from the gospel of Mark are about those who needed a touch the most – those who were avoided, were reviled, who were written off by the world. But Jesus reached out to them and changed their lives forever, something he’s still in the business of doing today.

“Jesus reached out and touched him.” (Mark 1:41)

The night of the Father’s love….

Expecting Christmas
Sermon Series

There’s something special about the season of Advent. It’s a season of preparation, a season of waiting. It’s the time of the year where we begin to prepare ourselves to celebrate the coming of the Lord. It’s a season that is pregnant with promise. Promise for hope. Promise for peace. For love and for joy. For God to make things new once more. And so we wait.

The Bible encourages us to “wait upon the Lord.” This is a special kind of waiting. It means “waiting with hope,” not “wait and see what happens.” It is not just the passing of time. It is anticipation. We have God’s promises to anticipate. He cares for us. His plans are good, not evil, toward us. We can trust Him. He keeps His promises.

Christmas declares “God always keeps his promises.” In His way, in His time. He asks us to wait…with hope. He promises to return. He promises to come into our heart. He promises us pleasant surprises.

“You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!” (Luke 1:31-33)
