Sermon: The Guardian of the Soul

Posted on May 1, 2023 by Jonathan Tullos

More or less, here’s the sermon I delivered at Salem UMC and Pleasant Hill UMC on April 30, 2023. 1 PETER 2:19-25 (NLT) For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment. 20 Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But…

Sermon: Revival!

Posted on February 12, 2023 by Jonathan Tullos

More or less, here is the sermon I preached today at Salem United Methodist Church and Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church. Initially, the title was “I Say…” but I made a game-time decision (appropriate since it’s the day of that big football game that I don’t have permission to use the name of) to talk…

Epiphany Sermon: “Magi, Did You Know?”

Posted on January 6, 2023 by Jonathan Tullos

More or less, here’s my sermon from Epiphany Sunday at my two churches. As soon as I started studying for this sermon, the title popped into my head and wouldn’t leave, so I ran with it. I hope my attempt to share the story of the Magi and ponder whether they knew who they were…

A Sermon (more or less): “Keeping the Christ in Us”

Posted on January 1, 2022 by Jonathan Tullos

This is, more or less, a sermon I preached on December 26th at my churches. This sermon is my ordination sermon, meaning this is the one I’m submitting to my annual conference’s Board of Ordained Ministry as part of my application to be ordained as an Elder. I wanted to share it here for any…

A TL, DR Sermon: The Lost Sheep

Posted on August 15, 2020 by Jonathan Tullos

Matthew 15:21-28Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32 Going into my final year at Asbury Seminary, I did an internship where I worked with some of the homeless population in Lexington, Kentucky. The experience was a profound eye-opener that had a major impact on my life and my ministry. Among the lessons I learned was that much of what…

A TL, DR Sermon: “YOU Give Them Something

Posted on August 1, 2020 by Jonathan Tullos

(I’m at new appointment – more on that another time – and we have not been meeting in-person for nearly a month due to COVID-19. For people in my midst who don’t have reliable internet access and are unable to watch our worship service recordings, I’ve been including condensed versions of my sermons for the…

Sermon: Real Talk about Racism

Posted on June 7, 2020 by Jonathan Tullos

More or less, what follows is the sermon I gave this morning at Druid Hills UMC in Meridian, MS (Lost Gap had a different sermon because they were voting on closure today). I’m sharing this here because I believe this is a message that we all need a reminder of right now. The recent racial…

Sermon: Stories of the Saints

Posted on November 12, 2017 by Jonathan Tullos

Here is today’s sermon from Shiloh United Methodist Church in Stanton, KY. We are doing a series based on material from the United Methodist Church Disciple Ministries regarding the saints. In the UMC, our understanding of saints is not the same as our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters. We believe that saints are all of…

Sermon: The Apostle’s Tale – Groaning

Posted on August 13, 2017 by Jonathan Tullos

Note: This is, more or less, my sermon from this morning’s worship service at Shiloh UMC in Stanton, Kentucky. Last week I began a series called The Apostle’s Tale which mostly is based on readings from Romans 8. This series was designed to go along with readings from the Revised Common Lectionary from a few…
