Smoky Hill Umc Weekly Sermon

Paul, in his second letter to Timothy, writes these words: “For this reason, I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you…”  In Paul’s absence, it seems that Timothy’s zeal and excitement about sharing the Gospel has waned a bit.  There is something about presence – both physical and spiritual – that helps us to remain steadfast and focused in our lives of faith.  During the past eight months, we have needed to be physically apart as a local expression of the Body of Christ.  For some, myself included if I am being honest, there have been times when being separated from our siblings in Christ has brought challenges to keeping the light of faith burning bright.  This Sunday morning, Stewardship Celebration Sunday, is an opportunity for us to be renewed and reminded that our faith in Christ is never in vain, and that God continues to work miracles of love and hope – and that God does this not only FOR us but THROUGH us.  Are you ready to be used by God?   We will see you on Facebook Live Sunday m
