Jedi Pastor Ken: Being United Methodist: We Pick You!
http://jedipastorken.blogspot.com/2015/05/being-united-methodist-we-pick-you.html
Being United Methodist: We Pick You! Take a moment and read John 15:9-17. When did you get picked? I was a perrenial bench warmer through most of my baseball years. I admit it! It may seem rather odd that I would choose this sermon as one of those in my series about being United Methodist - “We Pick You! If you go to the website umc.org and look up what we believe. John bookmarks these words in 15:9 and 15:17 with the concept or characteristic of love. The Bible doesn’t portray love as a sappy ...United ...

Prayer: It’s Time: Questions and Answers. Could you not watch one hour? 38) Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.". To this day, my parents have one way of annoying me more than any other thing. No matter how many times I hear it, man, it gets under my skin. I love my parents but when they say “No,” UGH! 8221; I did and my parents said “Yes” and you can bet, I was in school the next day too! So how does God go about answering prayers?

Jedi Pastor Ken: Praye: It's Time - Pray Like Jesus
http://jedipastorken.blogspot.com/2015/07/praye-its-time-pray-like-jesus.html
Praye: It's Time - Pray Like Jesus. 7 ‘When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 ‘Pray then in this way:. Our Father in heaven,. Hallowed be your name. Your will be done,. On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts,. As we also have forgiven our debtors. But rescue us from the evil one.

Jedi Pastor Ken: Being United Methodist: We Stand Connected
http://jedipastorken.blogspot.com/2015/05/being-united-methodist-we-stand.html
Being United Methodist: We Stand Connected. I suspect like all of us. You make a statement or post something on Facebook and somebody makes an observation: “Hey, you don’t have all the facts here! You’re clearly mistaken (or maybe they don’t say it so nice).” Your response? Yep, you’re right. "I stand corrected." Thankfully there is Snopes.com and FactChecker websites to help keep us and our politicians inline. These days correcting can truly be a full-time job! Following Hurricane Katrina, FEMA, for the...

Jedi Pastor Ken: March 2015
http://jedipastorken.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Give Up: It Isn't That Easy. It isn’t that easy. How do you follow a crucified God and expect there to be no effort? The advent of social media allowed many of us to reconnect with others from our past. As I reconnected through MySpace and then Facebook, with friends and schoolmates, I got comments such as, “How did you make it into ministry? 8221; “How did you keep your faith going? I think it is a matter of choice, “do you want knowledge OF God” or “do you want to KNOW God? If you’ve been with th...

http://jedipastorken.blogspot.com/2015/06/prayer-its-time-freedom-to-know-god.html
Prayer, It's Time: The Freedom to Know God. To the leader: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord;. Give heed to my sighing. Listen to the sound of my cry,. My King and my God,. For to you I pray. O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;. In the morning I plead my case to you, and watch. You may feel ill equipped to pray: “What do I say to GOD! Surely God has better things to do than listen to me talk, right? Does God even listen? It was when I started to listen. When we look at ...

Jedi Pastor Ken: Supernatural: What We See Isn’t What We’ve Got
http://jedipastorken.blogspot.com/2015/08/supernatural-what-we-see-isnt-what-weve.html
Supernatural: What We See Isn’t What We’ve Got. Take a moment and read from Ephesians 6:10-18. Of course this is all make believe. Because we can’t prove it by the scientific formula, the conclusion is the supernatural doesn’t exist. It is fairy tales and anyone who believes otherwise is merely deluded. Of course there are also those who disagree vehemently too. Don’t believe me? 8221; ( Walter Knight. Master Book of New Illustrations). What shall we do? 16) He said, "Do not be afraid, for those who are ...
