Winter Retreat 2012 Recap

February 29, 2012

To wrap up February I wanted to recap our big event for the month. We had an amazing time on our winter retreat to Beech Mountain, NC! Other than one dislocated shoulder and some sub-zero weather, it was a great trip. Our teaching time was focused on the transfiguration in Mark 9. We studied how the disciples had a mountain top experience. We also reflected on what transfiguration means for our own lives.

John Wesley’s Holy Club Q & A

February 27, 2012

This past Wednesday during Statesboro First United Methodist Church’s Ash Wednesday service, Pastor Jimmy Cason read John Wesley’s 22 questions small group questions. These are historic questions Wesley would have his Holy Club (small group) members ask themselves everyday. The questions got a great response so I thought I would post them.

John Wesley’s Holy Club Questions

1.       Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
2.      Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?
3.      Do I confidentially pass on to another what was told to me in confidence?
4.      Can I be trusted?
5.       Am I a slave to dress, friends, work, or habits?
6.      Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
7.       Did the Bible live in me today?

16.   Am I jealous, impure, critical, irritable, touchy, or distrustful?
17.    How do I spend my spare time?
18.   Am I proud?
19.   Do I thank God that I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees who despised the publican?
20.  Is there anyone whom I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold a resentment toward or disregard? If so, what am I doing about it?
21.   Do I grumble or complain constantly?
22.  Is Christ real to me?
