Healing Story

Stan & Ruth Burgess share their powerful healing story. This video was shown over last weekend at Schweitzer UMC's services.

2010 Mantreat

The High School men of Schweitzer's Youth Group embarked on the 2nd Annual Mantreat. We took the guys down to Jasper, AR to camp over night on Saturday night, and then got up early, and drove to Compton, AR on Sunday morning. We then hiked down to Hemmed-In Hollow where the guys got to check out the 200+ foot waterfall (largest between the Rockies and Appalachians). We went from 2000 ft. at the trailhead down to 720 ft. above sea level at the bottom of the waterfall over a 2.5 mile hike. We also got to take a dip in the Buffalo River. This is a picture of all the guys and chaperones once we hiked back out of Hemmed-In Hollow.

NT90: Day 2

Day 2: Matthew 6-9

The Golden Rule. Jesus probably isn't just concerned that we know the "rule" as much as he is that we live the "golden life." This idea of doing for others what we would want done for ourselves summarizes Jesus' teaching to his disciples about how to live for others. It also captures the spirit of the law of the OT and the teaching of the prophets. In other words, living to bless others is God's will for us in all of our relationships. We are not here to live for ourselves, but to live for others. God can use it in ways we would never anticipate to touch the lives of others.

NT90: Day 1

Sept. 1, 2010

Day 1: Matthew 1-5

What if the fullfillment of God's greatest promises depended on my faithfulness (or yours)? That's a tough question to answer. But Matt. 1:23-24 emphasize how this happened with Joseph and Mary. In very simple terms, Matthew tells us how God spoke his will through the prophets and angels as well as how Joseph and Mary obeyed what God told them to do. That's still the same way God's promises to people come true in today's world. God uses the simple obedience in little or big matters to make known his promised salvation. We will not always know why God calls us to some task, challenge, or opportunity, but we can be sure that he will use our faithfulness to him, to his glory and our greater good.
