Loneliness is one of the most painful parts of modern life—but it doesn't have to be the end of the story. Today we explore how eight intentional minutes of connection can break isolation, build community, and remind us that we're not alone. Plus, we remember that broccoli has no place on pizza!
When conflict shows up, we often default to fight or flight—but Jesus shows us there's a wider set of tools. From yielding to standing firm to working together, the Thomas-Kilmann model offers five ways to respond with intention and love. Even the smallest step toward another person can open the door for transformation.
What does it mean to live with humility, gentleness, and patience in a reactive world? This message explores how these Christ-like virtues—often misunderstood as weakness—can actually ground us in grace and transform our relationships. Through real-life stories and scripture, we're invited to choose love even when it's difficult.
True unity isn't about sameness or silence—it's about love across differences. Drawing from Acts 15 and Ephesians 4, we're reminded that unity means honest dialogue, healthy boundaries, and shared purpose. When we live this way, we reflect God's heart and help heal a divided world.
Happy Easter from TUMC Loveland!
When the current pulls us toward hard choices and uncertain outcomes, will we pass the buck or take responsibility? This Palm Sunday message explores the courage of Jesus as he enters Jerusalem, facing the cost of his mission head-on—and invites us to do the same.
Resurrection isn't just Jesus coming out of the tomb, it's for people here and now! Whether it's a quiet healing over time or a sudden jolt of grace, both are signs of little "r" resurrection. It's available to all right now!
How do you know if the voice you're following is really God's? A blind man recognized Jesus without ever seeing him—so what set that voice apart? Join us as we explore the qualities that bring peace, purpose, and transformation, and learn how to cut through the noise to hear God with clarity.
This sermon explores the story of the woman at the well and the transformative power of Living Water. Too often, we go through life without expecting renewal in the ordinary, just as she never expected to encounter the Messiah at a familiar well. But Christ meets us where we are, offering grace, purpose, and the kind of refreshment that never runs dry.
Faith is passed down through teaching and lived experience. Just as Jesus was shaped by those who taught him scripture, we grow through the wisdom and encouragement of others. How can we continue that cycle and be a source of faith and strength for someone else?
During Lent, we embark on a journey of transformation, much like salmon fighting their way upstream to new life. This week, we explore how true giving, prayer, and service require humility and intention—offering ourselves without seeking recognition, engaging with God without distraction, and serving without expectation.
Retired UM Local Pastor Linda Meyer preaches on the Transfiguration and it's message of hopeful change.
The church isn't a building or an institution—it's a movement of people, called out for a purpose. When we embrace that, even small actions can have a big impact. This conversation explores how we can step into our calling, take simple steps, and let God's power work through us.
Struggles with mental health can leave people feeling isolated, but the church is uniquely equipped to offer support through genuine relationships. This sermon explores how faith communities can provide healing spaces, following the Wesleyan tradition of small groups that foster connection and care. By showing up for one another with love and vulnerability, we embody Christ's call to serve and bring hope to a world in need.
Life wounds us, and like the Apostle Paul, we ask, “Why, God?” But instead of answers, God offers grace: “My power is made perfect in weakness.” This message explores how honesty with God leads to strength, how grief can be met with hope, and how—even without clear answers—grace holds us steady until we one day understand.
Burnout is real, and it's not just a modern problem—it's been around for centuries. Isaiah 40 speaks to a people who've been through the wringer, exiled and exhausted, yet on the verge of something new. We'll explore how their time in exile became an unexpected season of rebuilding, reflection, and reconnecting with God.
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when depression clouds everything. But what if healing doesn't come through dramatic breakthroughs or sudden changes? What if it's found in small, deliberate steps—like the whisper of a still, small voice?
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? You're not alone—but you don't have to stay stuck. Today we unpack the difference between worry and anxiety, the power of mindfulness, and how Christ offers a path to peace. With practical tools like the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique, prayer, and insights from Scripture, discover how God's peace can calm the chaos and transform even the most anxious heart.
Mental health challenges are one of the biggest "elephants in the room" as we head into 2025. Historically, the church hasn't always been the best place to address these issues—but that needs to change! In this series, we'll explore the intersection of faith and mental health. This message tackles common myths about mental health and highlights the truths that can help us reclaim our lives in Christ.

The blessing of home isn't about a building, a town, or a group of people. Home is where you're loved for who you are and fully in God's presence. This Christmas, we remember that true home is found in God's love and the warmth we share with one another, wherever we may be.
The notions of home and Christmas often go hand-in-hand. Being home accentuates the emotion and allows God to use joy to reorient our lives. But how do we handle joy's fleeting nature? Or try to accept it when it comes in hard times? Join us today and learn how to better experience the joy of going home!
Sometimes when we go home, we face conflict. It's can be scary. So, what do you do if you are the one called to be a peacemaker?
One of the most cherished holiday traditions is the idea of going home for Christmas. It brings to mind warm images of cozy living rooms, falling snow, hot cocoa, and gifts under the tree. But Advent isn't Christmas, and home isn't always a place of comfort. The journey to the manger reveals a deeper, more challenging side—one filled with its own profound beauty.
As if hard conversations aren't difficult enough, many times they don't end the way we hope they will. So rather than avoid the conversation because we dread the outcome, what if we prepared for it? How do we set good boundaries or end relationships well? Join us today as we find out.
It's so difficult to have hard conversations. So many things can go wrong! Today, we hear about a method that could help us in times of tension. These 4 Ds could be a great tool to use to help your holidays become a time of connection and hope!

It might not sound like a huge difference at first, but it transforms how we live and how we share our faith in powerful ways.
Have you ever found yourself in an "odd couple" relationship, where differences seem insurmountable? Rather than retreating from it, what if you stayed in the tension. Discomfort can lead to deeper connection, unity, and even transformation. How can we invite those who challenge us into our lives and create something greater together?
Today we flip the script on what it means to "win" by showing how coming in second—putting God and others first—leads to a deeper, more fulfilling life. Discover how embracing humility and serving others can reveal a greater victory than we ever imagined and a civil political season.

When we think of Thomas the Disciple, the first word that often comes to mind is "doubter." He's known for having the most trouble believing when the Risen Christ appears. But is that really all there is to his story? Today, we'll dive into John 20 and explore the issue of doubt. It turns out Thomas has many redeeming qualities, and he might have been unfairly labeled. Take a closer look with us today and discover what we can learn from his journey.
Anger is the cause of so many problems in our world. From pundits yelling at each other on TV to people using it to demonize those they disagree with, anger seems to be out of control. But could anger also be the solution to our problem? In the Bible, Jesus got angry, and the way he expressed it teaches us how anger can be used for good.
The world feels like a very dull place right now. Where is God's miraculous power when we need it? Today we learn the sure way to see the ordinary become extraordinary as we continue our look at the Gospel of John.
