We're trying a new thing!

Dr J's Sermons are now recorded and the audio is on Youtube (and will be on podcast sites soon!)

The Notes:
The Scripture: First Thessalonians 4:13-18
⁠The Song: Emily Scott Robinson "Overalls"⁠

⁠John Wesley is influenced by Jeremy Taylor's The Rules and Exercises for Holy Living and Holy Dying⁠

Helpful here are John Wesley's Sermons, including ⁠Sermon 58 "On Predestination" §10,⁠ ⁠Sermon 120 (127 in modern editions) "On the Wedding Garment" §6⁠

For my interpretation of Paul's writing, I rely heavily on ⁠Beverly Roberts Gaventa⁠'s commentary on First and Second Thessalonians in the Interpretation Commentary for Teaching and Preaching Series.

Theological Considerations from: Jean-Luc Nancy⁠ Dis-Enclosure: The Deconstruction of Christianity I, ⁠ ⁠Jean Luc Nancy: Adoration: The Deconstruction of Christianity II. ⁠ and Jacques Derrida, ⁠The Gift of Death

04/18/2026

Starting April 19, join us for a new sermon series called Mixtape Church: Connecting with the Church through Music.
Each week Dr J will use a different song from popular culture to help us explore the meaning and importance of the church.
This week: The Church and Dying Well featuring country folk singer Emily Scott Robinson's Song "Overalls."

Macedonia: 9:45 AM
Reeps Grove: 11 AM
