Our series on Wesley would be incomplete without looking at the way John Wesley taught Methodists to use money. “Earn all you can, save all you can, give all you can” is the summary of his position; a very different take from orders like the Franciscans and other religious groups who take vows of poverty. Watch or read to learn why.

Graduations are a time when speakers frequently point the way forward by looking back. We’re reminded of the basics of life that we learned in kindergarten and the values absorbed through the most important people around us from birth forward.
In that spirit, we’ll look at the most fundamental lesson of both the Old and New Testaments and look at how we can recognize and, more importantly, how to become people who lead with love.

The Church of England took away John Wesley’s pulpit for daring to suggest that those who came on Sunday should live out their faith Monday through Saturday as well. As he tried to answer the question of where he might find a new parish, he wrote in one of his journals, “I look upon all the world as my parish.” That broad vision of who God called him to serve became foundational to what it means to be a Methodist. What did he mean by it, and how did he make it a reality?

One of John Wesley’s most controversial beliefs was that Christians could achieve perfection in this life. Since this could only be the work of the Holy Spirit, on this first Sunday after Pentecost, Pastor Anne introduced us to what Wesley thought about perfection, why he thought it, and how it came back to bite him.
