MUMC Sermons

Pastor Jisun reflects on the impact of being task-oriented vs being people-oriented on our ability to renew relationships. Baptism enables us to renew our relationship with God. Shared worship enables us to renew our relationships with each other. Clothing ourselves with patience, forgiveness and love promotes a journey of healing and the renewal of relationships. The peace of Christ in our hearts helps to heal, renew and strengthen our relationships by telling us what to say

In today's world of AI-generated images and documents, authenticity and integrity are more important than ever. Digital watermarks are used to verify authenticity and ownership of documents and images. Baptism is God's watermark on our lives. It does not change our outward appearance, but remains invisible and indelible within us. Baptism reminds us that we are beloved children of God. When we attend a Baptism we renew our Baptismal covenant with God.

Pastor Jisun reflects on Time and the role it plays in renewal. As 2025 turns into 2026 we welcome in the new year and make resolutions to renew ourselves. But true renewal begins when we turn towards God with a contrite heart and ask to be cleansed of our sins. As David says in Psalm 51, "Create in me a clean heart O God, and renew a right spirit within me".
