Rekindling The Flames: Christianity as Wesley Lived It

The Movement of People Called Methodists was born in the 1700s, at a time when English society was highly polarized. Rationalism and the Enlightenment had led people to believe they no longer needed God. The rich struggled with materialism while the poor with lack of necessities. In this world a priest and Oxford professor named John Wesley came to trust in Christ and began preaching a faith that would spark a revival of Christianity that brought together the head, heart and hands. That movement would spread throughout the British Isles and across America and Wesley’s message and faith continues to speak today. This 3-week sermon series will take you back to England where it all began, retracing Wesley’s life and the beginnings of Methodism by exploring together, as 21st Century Christians, God’s calling for us today. Wesley’s story is our story – it is our heritage, it defines our faith, and it challenges us to rediscover our spiritual passion. Use this as you seek revival in your life together as people called Methodists. You’ll find series resources, along with the weekly sermons.
