They teally don't know ? The UMC has turned against God !!!!

Beautiful 😍

Why Methodist church is splitting you ask? Homosexuality is absolutely incompatible with the bible.. and you all need to be ashamed of yourselves to try to change the words of God to justify abomination in LGBTQ skubalon.. I used to attend Methodist.. in fact I was married inside of a methodist church.. that version of Methodist was still orthodoxy Christian Church which is not what I can say about you all..

I love this, and her, despite all the naysayers on here.

After hearing these two beautiful women play, my piano and organ playing cannot help but improve greatly. They are both a real inspiration to me.

Two beautiful women who are a real inspiration to me and inspire me to play both the piano and organ both of which I enjoy playing.

You both play beautifully and inspire me to want to play the piano and organ too.

While it’s great having organ shoes, there are organists who play in their socks, stockings and even bare feet. They are all acceptable and can get the job done.

These two women play beautifully and inspire me to want to take my turn on both the piano and organ which I would love to play.

Two beautiful women who really inspire me and want to play both the piano and organ too.

Beautiful. I would love to play those two beautiful instruments too.

The LGB alliance has splintered from the whole rainbow ideology. This is comprised of people that disagree with the trans ideology and pedophilia

Im a former UM pastor. I left over over the issue of the authority of scripture and failure of bishops to enforce the rules. I was a solo conservative pastor in a liberal district. Ironically, i would likely join the Gobal Methodist Church but i wish to be sure they are who they claim to be. . Personally i grew up in a traditional conservative methodist church and would feel comfortable in another theological tradition.

Thru out this whole thing not once was the Bible introduced or referred to although the book of discipline was referred to. I would advise running from that place!

Alright, people's.... I'm 63, gay, methodist. I left the US and spent a wonderful, successful life in Europe. I returned to the United States recently to discover this split. As a kid my father invited a Jewish congregation to use the church while a synagogue was being built. A large segment of the congregation left.... honestly, 40 years later, in hindsight, there was no loss. The global UMC, well, it's there task to replace whatever it is they've gained with something substantive. Discrimination seems the flavor of the month, I'm sitting by and reading about the decline of Christianity à la Tim Alberta. Good riddance. 🎉

I remember when the United Methodist Church was about learning the scriptures and seeking the word of God. When the church leaves the Bible that was when I left the church.

Women are not pastors, read the Bible. Women WILL NOT teach over men. REPENT.

Openly LGBTQ lifestyles are not acceptable to God. Ordaining LGBTQ clergy in UMC or any other church is absolutely an abomination. And what about the UMC stance on unrestricted abortion? And pulling support from Israel? And removing the moral code for pastors being faithful to their spouse? It’s time for Bible-believing Christians to STAND UP AND DEFEND THE WORD OF GOD.

I'm pastor Shahbaz Rafiq from Pakistan keep in prayer 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 May God bless you more in Jesus name

We are watching you from pace, fl. We have family in that area in Franklin and sylva

Awesome helped me a lot! Thanks for this video in such a short notice

Is the new pastor gay?

Many of my relatives are Methodists. They know it is not Biblical, but their religion is so habitual they cant see any alternative.

That is why the Catholic Church is the only option

You forget to mention God. The Bible comes alive at your Church yes but what does it say about sin. Stop sugar coating your words and preach God's word not forgetting to preach about sin.

If you really want scripture to come alive, you have to believe that everything God says is true.

Peace be with all of you ❤

United Methodist Church of SATAN

She never actually stated what the conference actually voted in! Such a farce! Get out now!

When a congregation allows themselves to have their ears tickled and desires preached to them, this is what you get. Oh, that’s in the Bible. 2 Timothy 4:3-4, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth,.

Anything that threatens the promotion or protection of humanity is sin. It's just that simple.

Women in leadership is unbiblical. This was the beginning of the end for Methodism.

It makes me sick. Taking God's word and trusting like Satan does to suit your beliefs. May God gave mercy you for desecration his word.

I’ve heard it for years from people wanting to justify their sins saying, GOD understands. The truth is, we have to understand GOD, not GOD understanding us!!!! And it’s all written in the Bible!!!!!!

The current focus has been on LGBTQ but the church has been normalizing sin for a while now. Divorce and remarriage were once taboo and was considered adultery since it was in the Bible. Now, it has become the new "norm".

This is a prime example of the devil dividing the church

She’s said a bunch of nothing.

Women priests is a problem, too.

As a former lay leader attending Houston conference. All I saw was old elderly broken down people bitching about modern life. No joy in their hearts. I tell my staff don't bring me problems bring me solutions. Old people talking about how great America was in the 50s. Dear Lord!!!

This like saying, we have people who also worship Zeus, and everybody is included. We support Zeus believers because they dont hurt anybody. Those things in the Bible about idolatry? Nah, we are inclusive. And our feelings are more important so let us keep having fun!

Most of my life I have been a member of and active in a beautiful and caring UMC in South Carolina. In that period of time, I have been proud of who we were and are in saving lives for Jesus and helping our community grow in a positive way. We have members of all age groups and a very active youth group. We are a large church with 1800 plus members. Thoughout my life I have been taught that there is a right and wrong way to act. We have certain actions/activitties that fall into right or wrong, good or evil. When certain "progressive" churches have decided they knew best on what was good and bad and they didn't give a hootabout how their actions/decisions might negatively impact other people, other churces. They vigoriously embraced the latest liberal ideas. After all, they had all the answers and all their answers were correct and only way. Sadly, for me and thousands of others, we saw the UMC leave us. We didn't leave the UMC- the UMC left us. Fortunately there are other choices for the people of God. Some have decided to become independent and some have joined the Global Methodist Church. Progressive politics has caused many problems in our country. We see the destruction of our culture in every aspect (crime, homelessness, higher taxes, lower standard of living, less respect for any authority, especially for law enforcement officers). And now the progressive destruction has entered our churces. Many foolish people have gone along with this. It's a go along to get along philosophy run amuck. So this is the sad state of affairs in our world and in the UMC. The cancer has spread but the patient is still alive. There is still hope. Thank you Jesus.

First, pastors, elders and deacons, those who lead the church and preach the word (teaching bishop), are only to be male. The downfall of any church is if it allows women this role. The reason Paul forbade women to teach men is that their role is to be housewives and mothers, and to keep silent in the church, asking their husbands questions at home. Of course, women can lead the choir, play the instruments, teach women's and childrens groups, etc. but are forbidden to have the teaching authority over men. This is very clear in I Timothy and Titus. When a church become apostate, as has the UMC, Episcopal, PCA, ELC, etc it abandons Biblical doctrine in favor of a watered down message that the "itching ears" Paul refers to, then apostasy sets in and God's spirit abandons the church, not wanting to follow "sound" biblical doctrine, as churches are commanded to do, especially with sexual ethics and marriage.

I think actions speak louder than words (and some of the commenters here have a lot of words but I doubt fruitful action). Sylva First UMC is known for being a force for God's love and goodness in their community and that's truly what matters. And Rev. Mary Brown is a far better preacher and leader than some of the male pastors I have met and known in my life. I hope and pray that someday Christians everywhere will actually live by the words of Jesus, rather than judging one another on their gender, whether they said the right words or followed the rules to the letter and start bearing fruit. Jesus said, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples” (John 15:7-8, NIV)

please show true love to the community. making personnel choices as your criteria idolizes yourself over the Creator.

The people splintering off will never be happy. These people always live each looking for issues to be aggrieved. Next up abortion? Immigration? Role of women in not just church but society?

Need to change the name to the biblical cosmology church. Satan invented the globe.

Women can not be preist, this is heresy

Good Sunday morning!
