Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Marcus Lane "Peter" and hear from Amy Duncan and Nate Zuellig on "Made For More". Digging Deeper Questions:  Have you experienced instances where living a self-directed life feels like spinning your wheels in futility? If so, what made self-direction so frustrating?   What freedom is found in living a divine-directed life?   Can you see a clear connection between the restoration Jesus brings and the purpose Jesus gives you in your own life and work? Where do you see opportunities to live as a minister of reconciliation like Paul talks about in 2 Corinthians 5?     Scripture Reading: John 21:1-19 1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.   4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, "Children, do you have any fish?" They answered him, "No." 6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.   9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught." 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.   15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16 He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go." 19 (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, "Follow me." Intro/Outro Song: "Only One" Nate Zuellig ULC Artist In Residence    "Made For More" Bethel Music CCLI Song # 7207758   CCLI License # 11254293

If so, what made self-direction so frustrating? What freedom is found in living a divine-directed life?

Sunday Worship Service | May 10th, 2026Sermon: "You Will See Me" from Pastor Bridie Roberts.Scripture Reading: John 14:15-21—LINKS:Bulletin: https://qrco.de/bfQliPCheck-in: https://qrco.de/bdKf0RGiving: https://hollywoodumc.churchcenter.com/.../general-giving...#HollywoodUMC #AllAreWelcome #SundayService #WorshipLive

Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Gabe Kasper "Thomas" and hear from Amy Duncan and Nate Zuellig on "Faithful Now". Digging Deeper Questions:  Why do you think Thomas was so resistant to the testimony about the resurrection from his fellow apostles?   Pastor Gabe told the story of his friend Kyle who walked away from the faith and how that unsettled his own faith. Have you ever had an experience like that? Something that caused you to doubt?   Pastor Gabe gave 5 steps to walk through in the midst of doubt. Which step is most helpful for you? Least? Why?   In the midst of doubt, we were encouraged us to cling to the promises of God. Admittedly, this feels circular, "I doubt God's promises, so I should cling to his promises? How does that work?" Well, how does that work?    Scripture Reading: John 20:24-29 24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe."   26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe." 28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

In the life of faith we can feel dauntless as we follow Jesus only be followed by moments of doubt, but it's in moments of doubt we are invited to depend on the promises of God we have in the resurrected Jesus.   Scripture Reading: John 20:24-29   Digging Deeper Questions: Why do you think Thomas was so resistant to the testimony about the resurrection from his fellow apostles?   Pastor Gabe told the story of his friend Kyle who walked away from the faith and how that unsettled his own faith. Have you ever had an experience like that? Something that caused you to doubt?   Pastor Gabe gave 5 steps to walk through in the midst of doubt. Which step is most helpful for you? Least?

The Question of the Intermediate State B. The Confidence for the Intermediate StateIII. In the Final State A. By the Resurrection of the Body B. For the Joy of all EternityRev. Greg Lubbers

Scripture Reading: John 3:1-8, 16-21 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16) The most beloved and memorized verse in the Bible is John 3:16.  In this wondrous sentence we have a summary of God's glorious plan for securing a people for Himself for all eternity.  Considering who God is and who we are, the actions of the Almighty on our behalf in this verse are staggering to see. First, there is a warning in this verse.  For those who do not hope in Jesus Christ, there is a perishing.  This perishing is not just to die and leave this world.  This perishing is more than physical death.  It is an eternal, conscious penalty away from the presence of God (2 Thess 1:9).  Second, there is a plan revealed in this verse.  God the Father, because of His infinite love for us, sent His only Son to die on our behalf. Nothing God could have given would have been more precious than His Son.  It shouts to us of the depth of His love. Third, there is a plea in this verse.  Believe!  Whoever believes in Christ has life.  This belief is not just agreement with the facts about Jesus, but a wholehearted trust in Him alone.  Fourth, there is a promise in this verse.  For those who hope in Jesus Christ, they have eternal life.  Their hearts are changed and they are never again separated from God.  To know God is eternal life (1 Jn 5:20).  Immortality is a reality in Jesus Christ.  He is the answer to the soul's longing for life, because He is life.

Most of us know what it's like to experience significant disappointment in life. And when our lives aren't going the way we had hoped, we sometimes begin to feel disappointed in God.

Scripture Reading: John 18:28-40 What is truth? It's a direction, and it's a person. It's Jesus. "The cross is the moment when the power of evil did its worst and was defeated by the stronger power of God's love"~N.T. Wright

Scripture Reading— John 9:1-41As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God's works might be revealed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man's eyes, saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see.The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am he.” But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.' Then I went and washed and received my sight.” They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”

Scripture Reading— John 1:29-42The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.' I myself did not know him, but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.” And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One. The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by he exclaimed, “Look, here is the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed). He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
