June 21st "Spiritual Dynamics: Created and Loved"

06/19/2026

Psalm 86
A prayer of David.
86 Lord, listen closely to me and answer me,
because I am poor and in need.
2 Guard my life because I am faithful.
Save your servant who trusts in you—you! My God!
3 Have mercy on me, Lord,
because I cry out to you all day long.
4 Make your servant’s life[a] happy again
because, my Lord, I offer my life to you,
5 because, my Lord, you are good and forgiving,
full of faithful love for all those who cry out to you.
6 Listen closely to my prayer, Lord;
pay close attention to the sound of my requests for mercy.
7 Whenever I am in trouble, I cry out to you,
because you will answer me.

8 My Lord! There is no one like you among the gods!
There is nothing that can compare to your works!
9 All the nations that you’ve made will come
and bow down before you, Lord;
they will glorify your name,
10 because you are awesome
and a wonder-worker.
You are God. Just you.

16 Come back to me! Have mercy on me!
Give your servant your strength;
save this child of your servant!
17 Show me a sign of your goodness
so that those who hate me will see it and be put to shame—
show a sign that you, Lord,
have helped me and comforted me.

O, God, you are the one who hears the cries not heard by human ears. Our earthly existence reveals much injustice and harm in our world, even this very day. Forgive us, we pray, when we are participants. Make us aware of our complicity and sensitize our ears to hear the cries of the needy. And God, we also are the needy ones; give us confidence to pray again, to cry out again to you with the hope that you will again hear our voices and reveal your Presence. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.

Dear friends,

Happy (Sort of) Birthday John Wesley!

According to the formerly used Julian calendar, today is the birthday of the man credited with starting the Methodist movement in England. Born in 1703, today is his 323 birthday. England adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752 and thus Wesley's birth date became June 28.

This Sunday is the first day of summer. While Spring is still my favorite season, summer is a close second. I love the warm days, the opportunities for travel, and longer amounts of sunlight. What are some of your favorite summer activities?

This Sunday is also the third Sunday in June, which means it is Food Bank Sunday. The Joliet Food Bank receives the non-food items we collect each month and distributes them to others who may need help stretching their food budget. Please contribute. The collection box is in the foyer at the church. Thanks to May and Corb who make sure our donations reach Joliet.

Most of us are familiar with Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion. The famous third law says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What if there were “laws” in the spiritual world? What might they look like? I am not talking about things like the Ten Commandments, but rather observations that reveal some truth about our relationship with God. This Sunday I want to start a new summer sermon series on “Spiritual Dynamics.” These are principles, the underlying reality of truth that I believe the Bible emphasizes that help us focus our energy and work as Christians.

Our first Spiritual Dynamic comes from our understanding that we are created by God and that God is Love. Both of these truths are found in scripture. But what does it mean for us individually, personally? How does knowing these truths at a deep level affect us as Christians?

Over the next six weeks we will look at a variety of scripture passages and see what the dynamic truth is in those passages and how they might help us in our Christian Walk. I hope you will join us.

Our worship begins each Sunday at 9:30 am and is also live streamed on our page. We are located on the corner of Second Street and Pine in beautiful Roberts. You are always welcome, and we are blessed by your presence.

Blessings

Pastor David

Psalm 116:1-2
Common English Bible
Psalm 116
116 I love the Lord because he hears
my requests for mercy.
2 I’ll call out to him as long as I live,
because he listens closely to me.

Psalm 116:12-19
12 What can I give back to the Lord
for all the good things he has done for me?
13 I’ll lift up the cup of salvation.
I’ll call on the Lord’s name.
14 I’ll keep the promises I made to the Lord
in the presence of all God’s people.
15 The death of the Lord’s faithful
is a costly loss in his eyes.

16 Oh yes, Lord, I am definitely your servant!
I am your servant and the son of your female servant—
you’ve freed me from my chains.
17 So I’ll offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you,
and I’ll call on the Lord’s name.
18 I’ll keep the promises I made to the Lord
in the presence of all God’s people,
19 in the courtyards of the Lord’s house,
which is in the center of Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!

Dear God, Giver of Surprises! We confess that there are many times when we expect things to be a certain way and don't pay full attention. We give thanks for the reminder of the joy of laughter and pray that we will be people sensitive to your Spirit who can join in your work with joy. May we have the humility to receive your surprises with an open heart and give thanks for your unexpected blessings. Amen.

Dear friends, The 2026 Annual Conference of the Mountain Sky Conference of the United Methodist Church begins in Billings tomorrow. The last time it was held in Billings was in 2019. This is where UM pastors and laity from our churches in Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and one church in Idaho gather to celebrate who we are as Christians. Today, as part of a pre-conference event, many will be taking advantage of Mission trips to see the Free Store in the Evangelical United Methodist Church on Broadwater Ave, the Women’s Prison, and visiting with tribal leaders on the Cheyenne Reservation. Later this week, new clergy will be ordained, retiring clergy will be celebrated and lay people and clergy who have died during this past year will be remembered and honored. Votes will be taken on closing some churches that have seen dwindling attendance, and on the Conference Budget for the coming year.

Wes Hill and Cherie Mondragon will be attending as they can. I will also be there to represent our church. We invite your prayers for a meaningful and God-inspired gathering.

This Sunday in worship we will hear from the ninth chapter of the gospel of Matthew, where Jesus is called to heal a young girl, who is the daughter of the leader of the local synagogue. It is a moving story, but not a simple one. For instance, Jesus gets interrupted before he even gets to the house where the young girl is. He is laughed at by mourners and criticized by some of the disciples of John the Baptist. A day like that would test anyone. So, what can we learn about how to deal with interruptions? What might Jesus mean when he says no one can put new wine into old wineskins? I invite you to come this Sunday as we discuss all of this.

Our worship starts at 9:30 each Sunday morning and is livestreamed on our page for those who cannot worship with us in person. We are your hometown church located on the corner of Pine and Second Street in Roberts. You bless us with your presence and we would love to see you.

Blessings,
Pastor David

June 2nd "Friends in Low Places"

Psalm 33:1-12
Common English Bible

33 All you who are righteous,
shout joyfully to the Lord!
It’s right for those who do right to praise God.
2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre!
Sing praises to him with the ten-stringed harp!
3 Sing to him a new song!
Play your best with joyful shouts!
4 Because the Lord’s word is right,
his every act is done in good faith.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
the Lord’s faithful love fills the whole earth.
6 The skies were made by the Lord’s word,
all their starry multitude by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathered the ocean waters into a heap;
he put the deep seas into storerooms.
8 All the earth honors the Lord;
all the earth’s inhabitants stand in awe of him.
9 Because when he spoke, it happened!
When he commanded, there it was!

10 The Lord overrules what the nations plan;
he frustrates what the peoples intend to do.
11 But the Lord’s plan stands forever;
what he intends to do lasts from one generation to the next.
12 The nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom God has chosen as his possession,
is truly happy!
