Sun Prairie United Methodist Church Podcast

When we re-read a familiar story we sometimes notice something we hadn't before. Pastor Jenny invites us to approach Bible reading with the anticipation of new insights or of hearing scripture in a different way.  

Prayer is a way of unlocking the door of our heart, so that God can sneak in and speak to us.

When we sit silently in prayer, we often remember who we are as children of God.

We step out on our Lenten journey embracing our vulnerability, because we are confident that the God who keeps us neither slumbers nor sleeps. 

Pastor Jenny shares how an ancient prayer practice focusing on the words, phrases, and invitations of scripture can shape and inform these days of Lent.

This week's devotion challenges us to practice our spirituality "in secret" rather than to be seen and admired by others.

A seven-minute guided meditation for children and youth.

A ten-minute, guided meditation for adults.

As the season of Lent begins this week on Ash Wednesday, Pastor Jenny invites us to use the keys of our faith to open ourselves to God's presence. May prayer be a key for us this Lenten season.

We are invited to linger with God and to experience God's presence in so many places. As we do, we will find ourselves changing.

During the storms of life, we can experience calm by holding onto the promise that God will never abandon us. 

Psalm 119 is both a hymn of praise for the help that God has provided and a prayer for help to stay on the path of obedience.

The people who have the greatest influence in our lives are those who put a lot of love into what they do. Each act of love, however small, is like a pebble dropped into the water, creating ripples that reach far beyond the starting point.

How does God's wisdom compare to human wisdom? How can silence help us determine whether or not God's wisdom is guiding us?

Now is the acceptable time to live like God's presence is with you!
