Episode 430: Just Start Talking | Learning to Pray, Week 1 | Psalm 13
Have you ever felt like you’re not very good at prayer? Maybe you don’t know what to say, your mind wanders, God feels distant, or you’ve prayed about something for a long time and nothing seems to have changed.In the first message of Learning to Pray: Growing a Real Relationship with God, Pastor Mark Reynolds explores Psalm 13 and the remarkable honesty of the Psalms. Prayer isn’t about finding perfect words, mastering a spiritual technique, or pretending to be more faithful than we really are. At its heart, prayer is about relationship with God—and we can bring our whole, honest selves into that relationship.Whether you come with gratitude, fear, doubt, anger, questions, or simply don’t know what to say, you can begin exactly where you are. God already knows you. God already loves you. Grace has already reached toward you.You don’t have to be good at prayer. Just start talking.Scripture: Psalm 13; Psalm 42 Series: Learning to Pray: Growing a Real Relationship with God Message: Just Start Talking Pastor: Mark Reynolds Church: First United Methodist Church of Cocoa Beach, Florida🙏 Support Our Ministries: If this message has blessed you, consider making a donation at www.fumccb.com to help us continue our work. 📅 Worship with us: Sundays at 9:30 AM (in-person/online) & 11:00 AM (in-person).

Episode 429: Can You Love America Too Much? Patriotism, Nationalism, and Following Jesus
Can patriotism become idolatry? And what happens when Christianity becomes a tool for political power?In this message, Pastor Mark Reynolds confronts Christian nationalism and argues that it fundamentally conflicts with the way of Jesus. Loving your country isn’t the problem. The danger comes when national identity becomes sacred, political opponents become enemies, and Christianity is used to gain power and impose one group’s vision on everyone else.Drawing from the prophet Amos and the teachings of Jesus, Mark explores the difference between patriotism and nationalism and offers a radically different vision of power—one shaped by service, love of neighbor, justice, and the Kingdom of God.Love your country—but don’t worship it. The Constitution is not our Bible. The flag is not our cross. America is not the Kingdom of God.Get the 5-Day Devotional based on this sermon at revmarkreynolds.com. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss other uplifting messages and practical tips for spiritual growth. 🙏 Support Our Ministries: If this message has blessed you, consider making a donation at www.fumccb.com to help us continue our work. 📅 Worship with us: Sundays at 9:30 AM (in-person/online) & 11:00 AM (in-person).
