BUMC Daily Field Guide
I have chosen the Message for our daily reading because I enjoy its less formal language and I often gain additional insight into applying scripture to 2019. In his letter to the Ephesians Paul is painting a picture of unity in Christ…everyone belongs! “He [God] used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in…

Bible Teacher's Guide: Nehemiah--Becoming A Godly Leader
It is no surprise that when we look at many of our national and local elections, we often find ourselves not voting for a person we want but voting for the lesser of evils. The world is in a leadership crisis, and the answer is not more training or more education. The answer is God. God is the ultimate leader and the reproducer of leaders. In fact, Scripture declares that there is no authority but that which comes from God (Romans 13:1). Leadership…

I might even find myself called upon to trust and follow my inner intuition, to have faith where doubt may reside.I express that trust by placing one foot in front of the other, moving forward with conviction…
