Encounters of God: Who Brought the Church to You?
Happy Mother's Day from Wesley UMC Macon! Colossians 3:12-17 (NLT) Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Happy Easter from Wesley UMC Macon! Luke 24:1-12 (NLT) But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.

Foundational Values of Spiritual Growth: Keeping a Part of God’s House
Luke 2:41-52 (NLT) Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. When Jesus was twelve years old, they attended the festival as usual. After the celebration was over, they started home to Nazareth, but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents didn’t miss him at first, because they assumed he was among the other travelers. But when he didn’t show up that evening, they started looking for him among their relatives and friends. When they couldn’t find him, they went back to Jerusalem to search for him there Three days later...

Luke 8:26-39 (NLT) So they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee. As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet him. For a long time he had been homeless and naked, living in the tombs outside the town. As soon as he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down in front of him.
