About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ for salvation, and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.\"<\/p>\n<p>The name of the street where the event took place\u00a0 (ALDERSGATE) became in time the name or term\u00a0for his religious experience there.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED THERE?<\/li>\n<li>It wasn&apos;t his first encounter with Christ.<\/li>\n<li>He grew up in a devout Christian home.<\/li>\n<li>In college he joined a group of dedicated young Christians, including his brother Charles, who were very methodical in their approach to their Christian faith, and who were in time \u00a0nicknamed \"Methodists\"\u00a0 This term stuck and it became the name for their followers<\/li>\n<li>He and Charles even served for a time as missionaries in America, though not very successfully.<\/li>\n<li>What really happened at Aldersgate?<\/li>\n<li>He discovered, like Luther 200 years before, the truth of Romans 1:17c, \"the righteous (just) shall live by faith (in Christ).\"<\/li>\n<li>What does this actually mean?<\/li>\n<li>We must experience Christ first, in repentance and trust; then we can live a fruitful Christian life. Not the other way around.<\/li>\n<li>True religion begins on the inside, with a relationship with Christ, then moves outward in service to others.<\/li>\n<li>It gave Wesley and all who experience it; an assurance that their\/our sins are forgiven , and that we are saved for time and eternity.<\/li>\n<li>As a result of his Aldersgate experience Wesley became the leader of a revival movement that in time developed the Methodist Church and influenced all Protestant Christianity especially in England and the United States.<\/li>\n<li>An important part of his evangelistic efforts were to develop faith support groups.\u00a0 These stressed certain essentials for Chrisitian growth and\u00a0development.<\/li>\n<li>They met\u00a0together for Bible study\u00a0, prayer\u00a0 and mutual spiritual support. A question that was frequently asked was: HOW IS IT WITH YOUR SOUL?<\/li>\n<li>They stressed developing a Christian lifestyle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Developing a devotional life and regular worship at a local church.<\/p>\n<p>Developing personal Christian character.\u00a0 (Personal holiness)<\/p>\n<p>Developing \u00a0Christian service. (Social holiness)<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>As a result Methodism grew rapidly.\u00a0 In\u00a0America,\u00a0\u00a0In the 1800s,\u00a0 it became the largest Protestant denomination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Methodism seemed to be almost unstoppable.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY?<\/li>\n<li>Unfortunately today, Methodism seems to be in an increasing decline , along with much of mainline Christianity in America.<\/li>\n<li>Why has this occurred?<\/li>\n<li>There are probably many reasons.<\/li>\n<li>But I believe the main reason in that\u00a0we have come to neglect the truth that Wesley discovered at\u00a0Aldersgate.<\/li>\n<li>We seem much more concerned about people&apos;s physical well-being than their eternal soul.

As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.\u201d ~Luke 8:5-8<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 12\u00a0Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13\u00a0Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14\u00a0The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life\u2019s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15\u00a0But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop\u201d ~Luke 8:11-15<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction.\u201d ~2 Timothy 4:2<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel\"\n\t\t\t data-anchor-id=\"06162019-whose-neighbor-are-you\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-header-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-header\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" id=\"accordion-label-06162019-whose-neighbor-are-you\" aria-controls=\"accordion-content-06162019-whose-neighbor-are-you\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-title sow-accordion-title-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t06\/16\/2019  - Whose Neighbor are YOU?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-open-close-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-open-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-ionicons\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf218;\"\n\t\t \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-close-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-ionicons\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf209;\"\n\t\t \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-accordion-panel-content\"\n\t\t\t\trole=\"region\"\n\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"accordion-label-06162019-whose-neighbor-are-you\"\n\t\t\t\tid=\"accordion-content-06162019-whose-neighbor-are-you\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none;\"\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-border\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a id=\"6a2c7d765bcb6\" rel=\"wp-video-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TBTucmBtcgU&#038;rel=0&#038;width=640&#038;height=360\" title=\"\">Click Here to watch video<\/a>    <script>\r\n    \/* <![CDATA[ *\/\r\n    jQuery(document).ready(function($){\r\n        $(function(){\r\n            var width = $(window).innerWidth();\r\n            var setwidth = parseFloat(640);\r\n            var ratio = parseFloat(0.5625);\r\n            var height = parseFloat(360);\r\n            var link = 'https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TBTucmBtcgU&amp;rel=0&amp;width=640&amp;height=360';\r\n            if(width < setwidth)\r\n            {\r\n                height = Math.floor(width * 0.5625);\r\n                \/\/console.log(\"device width \"+width+\", set width \"+640+\", ratio \"+0.5625+\", new height \"+ height);\r\n                var new_url = wpvl_paramReplace('width', link, width);\r\n                var new_url = wpvl_paramReplace('height', new_url, height);\r\n                $(\"a#6a2c7d765bcb6\").attr('href', new_url);\r\n                \/\/console.log(new_url);\r\n            }\r\n        });\r\n    });\r\n    \/* ]]> *\/\r\n    <\/script><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"bg-margin-for-link\"><input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='6a2c7d765bcd14015393988' value='6a2c7d765bcd14015393988'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-6a2c7d765bcd14015393988' value='Show Notes &amp; Scripture References'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-6a2c7d765bcd14015393988' value='Close'><a id='bg-showmore-action-6a2c7d765bcd14015393988' class='bg-showmore-plg-link  '  style=\" color:#4219e6;;\" href='#'>Show Notes &amp; Scripture References<\/a><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-6a2c7d765bcd14015393988' ><\/p>\n<h3>Sermon Notes:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><u>Who were the Samaritans<\/u><\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Samaritans were hated by the <strong><u>Jews<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Prejudice has no place in <strong><u>Christianity<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is not who you are, but what you <strong><u>do<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Scripture References<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWhen a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, \u2018Will you give me a drink?\u2019 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)The Samaritan woman said to him, \u2018You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.

With the help of sand (grit), experiences of life,\u00a0\u00a0we are\u00a0 bumped together and as a result ,we\u00a0have rough edges knocked off \u00a0and are gradually smoothed\u00a0out \u00a0(matured)\u00a0 in the process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The experience of the jewelry maker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the children&apos;s moments I also illustrated how gems used for jewelry are developed.\u00a0 Gem stones which are first cut by a diamond saw from larger stones are placed in what is called a rock tumbler. They are placed together with grit\u00a0and then placed in the tumbler which is a little pot like vessel which is rotated by a motor\u00a0 often running for weeks at a time. First the stones are tumbled with rather coarse grit which helps knock off sharp edges. Then they are placed with less abrasive grit to help them become smooth.
