Our Mission

The Mission of OFUMC is equipping Christian disciples

for ministries of worship, teaching, community building, and service. 

Thursday's Thought for Sunday's Service

Thursday's Thought for Sunday's Service

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him, but some doubted. Jesus came near and spoke to them, “I’ve received all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you. Look, I myself will be with you every day until the end of this present age.”” 

Matthew 28:16–20, CEB)

How can we carry the message of Christ, with continuing relevance?

Firstly, by comparing our current events to those in the past.  We can learn from history. It’s needed because we are always contending with the changeable characteristics of the world in which we live.  History can help provide a broader perspective.

Secondly, the Christian faith is more than just wandering around.  There is a purpose in Christ’s admonition... to make disciples, to teach obedience regarding God’s commands.

Finally, Christ’s calling establishes a bearing for moving forward.  We should take encouragement believing that God continues to guide through spiritual illumination.

Remembering the source helps chart a healthy course.
