Something to Think About:Statistically, the best way for children to develop a faith that “sticks” is for families to worship together. Intergenerational worship is key to helping the next generation learn to love and follow God. How are you at making families with young children feel welcome in services? How are you modeling worship for other generations (up and down)? Parents and caregivers, are you bringing your children to worship with you every Sunday? Will you do this for them?”
Excerpt from the Sermon Journal, Monday, December 3, 2018Written by Pastor Tom Harrison
ADORE HIM, FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION
The singular, “generation,” occurs 96x in the Bible. Jesus said He was living in an “evil generation.” The New Testament often uses this word in that way, too. Whether secular or religious, Jesus described a culture living apart from God.
The plural, “generations,” occurs 119x in the Bible. The transmission of the faith through the generations is of extreme importance. The church must do some things differently to reach new generations (while retaining the essential message).
Mary realizes it is NOT all about her. Even though she is living in a period where there is much evil (e.g. Herod), she looks back and remembers “father” Abraham, the father of the Jews. She also leans into the future and anticipates her place effecting all the generations to come.

SHARE THE SEASON OF LIGHT✮
Not currently in a community?January will be a great time
to begin. All Adult Discipleship Communities will be studying
our Wesleyan Heritage.
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, established “a method”
for growing in the knowledge and love of God through disciplined Christian
living. Most distinctively, Wesley gave us a deeper understanding of God’s saving grace. In this series we’ll look at who we are, what we believe and
how we will live - all in the context of Wesleyan theology.
Pastor Charlie Ryser’s Retirement Reception Join us TODAY to celebrate Charlie Ryser's 13 years at Asbury.
FREE donuts will be served after the 9:15 and 11 am service in the CLC.
