A Devotion for Ash Wednesday

Lent is a time in the church calendar to step back, reflect, contemplate, and be still. In our busy world of constant noise, stress, and worries we need not only time each day to pray and listen to God, but we also need extended time. The season of Lent is this time. For activists, stillness is a challenge. We want […]

A Hopeful Call to Foster Ministries

By:  Camille Pook What began with resistance has turned into a propelling passion in my life.  I started with foster ministries at First Free Methodist Church in Seattle, WA, reluctantly filling in for a volunteer who was sick. “Lord, I know this is something I should do but I’m tired and don’t feel like giving up another night.” My heart […]

Sharing God’s Love in Hungary

By: Zsuzsa Mecséri-McNamara , Set Free Movement Coordinator No matter where we come from, no matter where we live, we all have a desire to love and to be loved. This is absolutely true about the children that we minister to in Hungary. Traffickers try to use this desire for love and belonging against them and attempt to trick and coerce […]

A Unity that Brings Freedom

By: Kayleigh Clark, Lead Pastor at the Uniontown Free Methodist Church and Set Free Movement Leader When I was in middle school, the Disney Channel phenomenon, “High School Musical” debuted after a year of advertisement and hype. “We’re All In This Together,” was the moral of the story told by Disney through basketball games and play practices. As cheesy as […]

The Crucifixion and the Exodus

Jesus suffered and died. Theologically this is our foundation. His suffering and death are the means to our salvation.  Jesus is our redeemer. This word is used a great deal. In Hebrew, the word for redeemer, gō’ēl, is a kinsman protector, a family member who is powerful and works to protect the family. (5) Think of Jesus as a brother, who […]

Leaning into Suffering

In these uncertain times, we realize that many of you may be suffering. The COVID-19 virus has disrupted the normalcy of our lives and our world. If you are not suffering directly, you may be burdened by the suffering of your neighbors, friends, community members, and others around the world.

Embracing our Poverty

It is precisely when we see and experience poverty — whether far away, close by, or in our hearts — that we need to become the Church; that is, hold hands as brothers and sisters, confess our own brokenness and need, forgive one another, heal one another’s wounds, and gather around the table of Jesus for the breaking of the […]

Our Eyes are on You

We are becoming more aware of the global misery of human trafficking. But awareness is only the beginning. In my Facebook news feed, I see more “likes” for tragic stories about human trafficking but little engagement on strategic action to counter it. But both are needed. Knowing without acting is like faith without works—it’s incomplete. 2 Chronicles 20 provides a […]

What small thing do you have that God can use?

Scripture is described as a “living word”. Though it was written many years ago, it still speaks to our contemporary situation. This story from II Kings 4:1-7 is a case in point. The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the […]

A Prayer for Hope

The psalms are the prayer book of the Bible. This psalm is balancing many things: the greatness of God, the frailty of humanity, and the hope that the God of creation will also be the God of justice. Meditate on these verses from Psalm 146: 1 Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live; […]
