Pruning Is Not Punishment - I AM Sermon Series Week 5 - Rev. Clark Chilton
A lot of people turn away from religion because they feel this pressure to be more than they are, that you never measure up, sort of like Michael Stipe singing "Losing my Religion". "I haven't said enough...I said too much." The sense of oncoming pressure to perform and be "fruitful" is too daunting a task.
However, Jesus doesn't put this pressure on us to perform. All of your religious striving, your failing, your falling short, Jesus says I’ve got you. Stop trying to do on your own what I can only help you do: bear much fruit. Fruit just comes through my Spirit at work in your life. If you abide in me, trust in me Jesus says...I will birth my love, joy, peace, patience and more through you. But apart from me...you can do nothing. You can't bear the characteristics of God apart from a relationship with me.
Jesus is saying to the nation of Israel and also to us today: you’re right. You can’t do this. I will now make this possible for you. WE are the same as they. We have the s…

Worship Grounds and Sustains Us In What Is True - Worship Living in Awe Week 2 - Rev Clark Chilton
Have you ever seen the show Married at First Sight? You basically marry someone sight unseen. The first time you meet them is on the altar.
One guy went to the altar, flowers in hand, and a gloomy and yet nervous expression on his face. But when she stepped through the doors, everything changed. She was beautiful! Suddenly his glum demeanor disappeared. The thought of marrying this woman was no longer a dreaded duty. I am delighted with how this has worked out.
What had changed? He'd seen her.
Sometimes, we can worship God out of obligation. We drag ourselves to church, force ourselves to serve others—but our hearts aren't in it. Nothing is grounding you. Nothing is sustaining you. We're like that guy on the show, grudgingly holding flowers for God. We're trying to live lives of worship because we know we should, but it's burdensome, joyless.
What can change this? Seeing God. Remembering that worship grounds us and sustains in us what is true.
In marriage, the vows draw you back…

Don't Resist The Resistance - Aha Moments Week 5 - Rev Clark Chilton
Sometimes if people want to kill you it doesn’t mean you’re doing the wrong thing. Just because its hard, doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path. Resistance Shouldn’t Always Be Resisted
CS Lewis said, When the whole world is running towards the edge of a cliff, he who runs in the opposite direction seems to have lost his mind.
Light in contrast to the darkness. Truth exposing falsehood. A voice in the wilderness calling sinners headed toward destruction on the broad path, calling them to take the narrow way to life, to choose Christ and his forgiveness.
The world has always opposed this message of the Gospel. It cost Jesus His life, and God used it for His glory. The world doesn’t need a church that tells them what they want to hear. The world needs a church that speaks prophetically with power, love and self control.
In this story we will look at today, people are literally trying to throw Jesus off a cliff.
We are going to pick up right where we left off last week, th…

Why Was Jesus Baptized? - Rev Clark Chilton - Aha Moments Week Two
so i've always encouraged people to ask questions i think questions are important in church i think they lead to answers of course and they lead to aha moments you're never going to get an answer if you don't ask a question god's not intimidated by our questions that's why i think christianity is true one of the reasons it's true is because it stands up to intellectual uh debate and rigor and in the bible is full of messy people it's not trying to be something that it's not uh and so questions are good they lead to aha moments now i've been asked many questions over the years that people that are wondering about faith and i was in youth ministry for a long time so i would speak to teenagers all the time um and when you speak to teenagers you got to keep it kind of short right you can't you can't go on for 30 minutes it kind of you know check out um you know squirrel that sort of thing so um you keep about five seven minutes maybe ten but you know so the all the these meetings were the…

The Author Has Made Himself Known - Advent V - Rev Clark Chilton
If Shakespeare and Hamlet were to ever meet, writes CS Lewis, it would have to be due to the author Shakespeare's initiative, not Hamlet. Without the author, Hamlet would not exist.
When Jesus Christ was born into this world, the author of life has written Himself into our story. This same Author longs to re-write your story from a tragedy into a redemptive comedy.

Obeying the King's Voice - Rev Clark Chilton - Nov. 21, 2021
“Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
Jesus is implying that as the King, his words are authoritative. His voice is truth and leads to truth.
Jesus’ Kingdom is not one of flesh and blood, castles moats and earthly conquest. Plunder. His Kingdom is of the heart. He is King of all that is righteous, pure and true. He can be King of our intentions, our motives, guiding us into holiness. So of course His kingdom is not of this world.
Whatever voice we listen to, is what we belong to. Because the converse of Jesus’ statement is that those who belong to lies do not listen to His voice.
But here’s the tough part: human beings, in our natural state, we tend to be really, really bad at listening spiritually.
And because we are not very good at listening to the King’s voice, at least, not initially in our walk with Christ, its the main reason many non-believers look around at the Church and the physical chaos of our world and ask, “Jesus is King? Really?…

Three Chairs - Rev Clark Chilton - Nov. 14 2021
All people sit in one of three chairs: we know God (a first generation faith), we know about God (a second generation faith) or they don't know God or even about God (third generation).
Listen as Rev. Clark Chilton leads through Joshua 26, Judges 2 and Genesis to learn more about these generational handoffs and how God wants all people to sit "in the first chair".
If you need prayer or want to make a commitment to Jesus Christ, please contact us at wesleymemorial.org
FULL TRANSCRIPT
so last week we heard about generational um handoffs we just all saints sunday it was time to hear about uh those who've gone before us and how what we have as christians is really given to us by generations before us a great cloud of witnesses that what we believe in the gospel is nothing new uh but it is our turn and every day is our turn to be the church just as the generations before us have done and today what what happens is the generational handoffs every single one is that once it gets handed of…

Finding Peace With Your Past - Rev Clark Chilton
If the past is in the past, can it be altered? Like a lazy river of life, time moves steadily on. The past is fixed, the future uncertain. However, Jesus is always far more ready to heal than we are ready to ask. The love and forgiveness of Jesus can change how we remember. Through His power, your test can become a testimony. Your mess, a message. And your scars can tell a story.

Finding Peace with Finances - Rev. Clark Chilton
Maybe this is you: “My finances are a wreck. I don’t have peace about it.” Or “I’m comfortable. I have peace.” Or maybe you’re somewhere in between. What matters is not how much we have or don’t have but what we DO with what we have. The problem is not having wealth, but how to BE wealthy for the Kingdom of God, because what God cares about is people.
The empire of the world uses people to win money. People in Jesus’ kingdom should use money to win people.
Listen to learn more about as god re-aligns our financial priorities, and therefore reorders our loves, we can have greater financial peace as we get out of debt, build wealth, and grow to be radically generous with all God has given us.

Finding Peace with _____ (Anxiety) Rev Clark Chilton - Sept. 12, 2021
In 2017, Google trends reported that searches for anxiety had doubled from the previous year. Nationwide polls indicated that anxiety had eclipsed depression as the number one mental health concern, especially among millennials and Generation Z. That was four years ago.
Then, COVID hit and anxiety about an unseen virus has driven the anxiety epidemic even higher.
Listen as Pastor Clark Chilton leads us through some Biblical teaching on anxiety. Remember three words when struggling with anxiety: Word, Weather (It together) and Watch (your gauges).

Jesus Is Life (Creed Week 12) - Rev Clark Chilton - August 22, 2021
All this week, hope has been the engine driving your life. Hoping for a new school year. Hoping for a better job. Hoping for better health. Hoping for a better world. Hope drives us every single day.
We can also have misplaced hopes and misplaced loves. Following Jesus Christ in many ways is allowing God to reorder your hopes and therefore your loves. Many hope in money and people, but money and people make terrible gods.
The hope of the Church of Jesus Christ for millennia has been not only in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but that all who believe in Christ will, as Jesus says, "live just as I live."
At the moment of death, to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. At death, the Christian is immediately in the presence of God, but what happens to the body?
On the last day, God will restore all creation, and that includes your body. Listen to learn more of visit wesleymemorial.org

Finding Forgiveness (Creed Week 11) - Rev Clark Chilton - August 15, 2021
This week’s phrase: I believe...in the forgiveness of sins
Do you believe in forgiveness? Do you believe in second chances? Because when we proclaim that message, along with the Resurrection, is the most distinct message the Christian church has. In this message of forgiveness, we are saying to the world: you can have a second chance. And a third, and a fourth. Forgiveness may not change your past, but Jesus will change your future.
It is critical to first find forgiveness for your own sin before addressing sin in someone else. Sin is first and foremost, against God. When we sin, we do so against the will of God, so there is a vertical aspect of sin. But there is also a horizontal aspect to sin: it can affect others, and the sins of others can affect us. What to do?

Why We Need a Righteous Judge (Creed Week 8)- Rev Clark Chilton - July 25, 2021
Imagine you break the law and go to court. You walk in the courtroom and the judge's bench is empty. No judge.
Empty bench, just attorneys. Without a mediator, a final decider, there will be chaos. Without a decider? With no one on the bench? Who’s to say what is right or wrong? Who’s to say?
Rejecting Jesus Christ as a holy and righteous judge is a dangerous proposition. This is a classic case of be careful what you wish for. The great irony is that many thirst for justice in our country but reject any idea of god as a holy judge.

In fact, the Resurrection has more historical basis than many other ancient historical events. Listen as Rev Clark Chilton leads us through the next line of the Apostles' Creed "the third day He rose from the dead" to see how the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a matter of faith, but of choice based on four words: Early, Execution, Empty and Eyewitnesses.

The "how" of the divine conception and virgin birth is a holy mystery, as it should be. However, just as an author can write himself or herself into a story, God is of course capable to write Himself into His own story, and He has in the person of Jesus Christ. If you have seen Jesus, you have seen the Father.
But why? Why has God sent His Son Jesus Christ into the world to be incarnated among us, as a prince being sent to live the life of a pauper and die a criminal's death on a cross?

I Have Some Good News For You - Rev Clark Chilton - December 13th, 2020
When we hear good news, or even if we hear the POTENTIAL for good news, we lean in. Could it be true?
Deeper than if its true, is the news good?
Because if the news is good news, it can be trusted. If the news is good news, it can be transformative.
God has good news for you. Your savior and deliverer is here. Your sin can be forgiven. You can have eternal life. This IS good news.

Make A Margin for the Marginalized - Rev Clark Chilton - November 22, 2020
If we do not build margins into our lives and our finances, we have little room for generosity. And if we spill over the margins of our lives, whether they be professional, financial or emotional, it always leads to the same conclusion: burnout.
When we make a margin for the marginalized, it keeps our own greed in check and in turn blesses the world. Additionally, when we make margins for the marginalized, we become happier and holier people.
And when we make a margin for the marginalized, we get that much closer to serving the poor in an intentional and fruitful way that fulfills the Lord's command in Matthew 25 "If you did it to the least of these, you did it to me."
May we be a people that are not known for what we possess, but for what and how we give.
