The pastors spend time praying and seeking God when they develop the sermons they share. They take this responsibility as an anointing from God and spend much time in prayer related to this process. But, they are always open to what the Lord might be telling the congregation as well. You can see the planned sermon topics and Scriptures by going to the web page (www.mzumc.com) and tapping the worship button and then the future sermons button.
Rev. Ray has developed a couple of series coming up when he returns. The first will be a series on the character of a Godly person which will run from August 6 to September 10 including the revival August 13-16. Following that he will preach a series on getting in spiritual shape from September 17 to October 22.
Of course these are just plans and the pastors are open to the Holy Spirit's change of plans and other changes that may occur. For instance there may be a community wide worship service this fall with the United Methodist Churches of Lothian coming together which would move the sermon series back a week.
As you review the list, are there topics through your prayer life that you feel would be helpful to the body at MZ? We can't promise to respond to each request but we can be open to the ways that the Spirit works through us all.
