United Methodist Theology comes from the great mind, writings, and example of John Wesley, one of the founders of Methodism.  To know the church’s theology, you have to understand his theology.  This study will seek to help you do this.

Using Theodore Runyon’s book, The New Creation: John Wesley’s Theology Today, as a guide, we’ll focus on how and why Wesley’s theology changed throughout his life.  This study may even help us to change (or at least better understand) our own theology!

Thursdays, beginning January 14, 2010;

The phrase “the will of God” is used loosely, says Leslie Weatherhead, and the consequence of that looseness to our peace of mind is serious. Weatherhead’s recognition of this problem led him to write The Will of God, a classic that has helped grieving persons better understand the meaning of the phrase. It can help you as well.

It was during the tumultuous era of World War II that Leslie Weatherhead preached five sermons on understanding the will of God for the congregation at City Temple in London. These sermons became the book we will be studying, and these sermons have helped hundreds of thousands of Christians explore how God’s will is related to God’s character and ultimate intentions for us.
