Bedtime Stories...worth telling again. - Hamilton Mill United Methodist Church, Inc.

The Story of Queen Esther

June 9, 2024 • Rev. Diane Ward • Psalm 56:3–4

Join us Sunday as we have a visit from Queen Esther herself! She will share how her bravery saved her people. Hopefully she will teach us how to be brave as well!

The Story of Hannah

June 2, 2024 • Rev. Wendy Jones • 1 Samuel 1:1—2:21

Hannah’s story is worth telling again and again because it reflects what it looks like to trust God with every disappointment, dream, and commitment. If we lean into her story, Hannah teaches us how to pray, worship and keep our promises.

The Story of Rahab

May 26, 2024 • Rev. Steve Ring • Hebrews 11:31

God’s grace is available to everyone. There is no special club or pre-qualifications. Our faith and trust in God and the work that Jesus has already done on the cross saves us.

Deborah

June 25, 2023 • Rev. Wendy Jones • Judges 4:6–9, 1 Peter 4:1–11, Judges 4:4–5

A bedtime story about a judge, a warrior, a leader and a prophet – all wrapped up in ONE powerful woman! Deborah was set apart and appointed by God to lead her people in ways she could have never imagined! Deborah’s story of leading her people to victory reminds us that God uses everyone and anyone to guide, lead and protect his people.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

June 18, 2023 • Rev. Wendy Jones • Daniel 3:19–27

What could be better than a bedtime story comprised of an ego-driven king, three brave and faithful teenagers (with weird names) and a fiery furnace? Oh, maybe one that includes a God who climbs into the fire with them, to protect and deliver them! This ancient story points us to the love of God – a love that is willing to be WITH us – a love that protects, delivers and honors our attempts to be faithful.

I'm With You

June 11, 2023 • Rev. Natalee Dukes Hamby • Matthew 28

Join us for Pastor Natalee's Last Sunday with us! She'll be preaching at all three services. And after the 9:15 and 11am services, we'll celebrate her ministry here with a Merry & Bright Christmas-themed party! Help us send Pastor Natalee and her husband, Montana, to Athens with lots of love from her church family here!

Jonah

June 4, 2023 • Rev. Wendy Jones

Jonah’s tale of being swallowed by a fish has captivated the imaginations of children for thousands of years. And, for good reason, it’s a compelling and wildly crazy series of events in the life of one ordinary guy that make for a great story! But there’s so much more, if we read it carefully, this story reveals the human tendency to run from God and God’s tireless efforts to know, love and save. And it reflects the heart of a God who invites us into his plans to save others.
