Give Me Water

https://whitesburgumc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Give-Me-Water-By-Rev-Martha-Dye-March-12-2023.mp3

By Rev. Martha Dye

[ John 4:5-42 NASB20 ] 5 So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; 6 and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, tired from His journey, was just sitting by the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away to the city to buy food. 9 So the Samaritan woman said to Him, “How [is it that] You, [though] You are a Jew, are asking me for a drink, [though] I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus replied to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” 11 She said to Him, “Sir, You have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do You get [this] living water?

A Shallow Faith

https://whitesburgumc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/A-Shallow-Faith-by-Rev-Martha-Dye-March-5-2023.mp3

By Rev. Martha Dye

[ John 3:1-17 NASB20 ] 1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2 this man came to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God [as] a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a person be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and [the] Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

SUNDAY’S COMIN’!!!!!!

Good Friday Evening to you all!

Jim and I had a wonderful trip to Richmond, Virginia to see our son Joey and his family. You know how some visits with your kids are just better than others? Well, this was at the top of the list! Glad to be home though and looking forward to seeing each and every one of you!

Sunday is the second Sunday in Lent and our scripture is about Jesus’ nighttime visitor Nicodemus. We have so much to learn from him!  Don’t miss worship…… and don’t miss Sunday School either! Beth Destasio is a wonderful teacher, and she will be leading us in our Lenten study on “Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws,” by Rev. Adam Hamilton. I know you will enjoy this class and that it will enhance your Lent and Easter in so many ways. The class starts at 9:45.

Here are a few things to be looking forward to:  Sunday, March 19:  Jim and Joy’s Amazing Breakfast (Time TBA). Jim and Joy want to cook us breakfast… I know it will be good, and I know the fellowship around the table will be even better! No reservations  necessary.

God’s Wall

https://whitesburgumc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Gods-Wall-by-Rev.-Darryl-Hessel-February-26-2023.mp3

by Rev. Darryl Hessel

[ Psalm 51:1-19 NASB20 ] 1 For the music director. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithfulness; According to the greatness of Your compassion, wipe out my wrongdoings. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my guilt And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my wrongdoings, And my sin is constantly before me. 4 Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in guilt, And in sin my mother conceived me.

Glory on the Mountain

https://whitesburgumc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Glory-on-the-Mountain-by-Pastor-Martha-Dye-February-19-2023.mp3

By Rev. Martha Dye

[ Matthew 17:1-9 NASB20 ] 1 Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James, and his brother John, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If You want, I will make three tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!”

It’s Really All Quite Simple

https://whitesburgumc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Its-Really-All-Quite-Simple-by-Pastor-Martha-Dye-February-12-2023.mp3

By Rev. Martha Dye

[ Matthew 5:21-37 NASB20 ] 21 “You have heard that the ancients were told, ‘YOU SHALL NOT MURDER,’ and ‘Whoever commits murder shall be answerable to the court.’ 22 “But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty [enough to go] into the fiery hell. 23 “Therefore, if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.

This Little Light of Mine

https://whitesburgumc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/This-Little-Light-of-Mine-by-Rev-Martha-Dye-February-5-2023.mp3

By Rev. Martha Dye

[ Matthew 5:13-20 NASB20 ] 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty [again?] It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor do [people] light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 “Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 17 “Do not presume that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

SUNDAY’S COMIN’!!!!!!

Good Morning!

Hope you are all well and staying warm! My goodness! It’s 33 degrees right now, and that is warm compared to our neighbors up north! Spring is coming! It always has. It always will. So I guess we should find the beauty in winter. Here are some interesting facts you perhaps did not know:

The earth is closest to the sun in winter.

Squirrels save more than just seeds for the winter. The red squirrel is creative. Along with nuts and seeds, these critters actually dry out mushrooms in trees to make their own mushroom jerky!

The residents of Bethel, Maine built the largest recorded snowwoman that measured over 122 feet! It took 13 million pounds of snow!

By Rev. Martha Dye

[ Matthew 5:1-12 NASB20 ] 1 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. 2 And He opened His mouth and [began] to teach them, saying, 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 “Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
