    We Are the Church
    By: Jay Armstrong
    Series: Impact
    Matthew 28:11-20
    Yesterday, today, and until Christ comes again "We ARE The Church." This is Jesus' only plan for the redemption of individual souls and of the world. There is work still to be done. We cannot let Christ find us living in the past, or stewing in the moment. We must look to the next great movement of the Spirit, and why shouldn't that be right here at First United Methodist Church of Odessa?

    In Our Wake
    By: Jay Armstrong

    Acts 1:6-11
    What will we leave in our wake? Do we pass and leave the scene untouched by our passing? Are there ripples that bring others joy, or perhaps steal their peace?
    Jesus left a small band of disciples that touched billions of lives. What will we leave in our wake?

    Wandering Around
    By: Jay Armstrong
    Series: (All)
     Numbers 13:1-2, 25-31 Getting Direction from Wandering Around The spies of Israel wandered into the land that God had promised them to see what was there and from that to formulate a direction. When they came back, the spies were not uniform in the direction they offered. Joshua and Caleb were ready to take hold of the promise, but on this day fear would determine the direction and the people would go on living in their poverty.

    Freedom-The True Path
    By: Jody Wallin
    Series: (All)
    Matthew 7:24-27 Freedom is gained at a great cost and celebrated in many ways.  We celebrate our Nation's freedom this Saturday with family and friends BBQ, watching fireworks, or simply saying a prayer.  But true freedom from this world is a gift from God to all mankind through His son, Jesus Christ. Come home and be a part of that celebration and remembrance this Sunday as we explore the path to true freedom through Jesus Christ our Lord!

    Meaning to the Title
    By: Jay Armstrong
    Series: (All)
    John 1:43-51
     
    What is the meaning to the title "pastor?" We will have greater understanding of this title, as we get to know each other, serve with each other, laugh with each other, and of course weep with each other.  In this scripture, Nathanael is unsure of Jesus until he meets him. Jesus said to him that the relationship will grow in the days ahead.

    It’s Time
    By: Todd Salzwedel
    God is continually preparing us for things we might not ever fully know.
    Acts 9:19b-30       
    Throughout our lives, we are confronted with new challenges and opportunities.  Every experience builds upon each other.  And while we might desire to have a carefully planned future with expected results, the only thing that will remain constant is the presence and gifting of God.

    Ring, Ring
    By: Todd Salzwedel
    Series: (All)
    Paying attention to the call of God in our lives Hebrews 10:35 – 11:3 Throughout the Bible, we have the privilege of witnessing many amazing encounters where God calls people to amazing purposes to accomplish His will!  What if Moses and Samuel, Paul and the Disciples simply said no?  What is like when we are called?  How do we respond?
