And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Ezekial 34:23-25(KJV)

FAITH

Faith: Read Hebrews chapter 11. It tells us that Christ Jesus is better than anything any other religion has to offer.

One topic the book speaks to most extensively is faith. Paul wanted the readers to hold fast to their commitment to God no matter what came their way. Faith in Christ was the foundation for this level of commitment. In this get-back-to-basics book, Paul wrote with the purpose of clarifying that only Christ, not sacred traditions or new ideas, was to be the center of a life of faith.
According to Hebrews 11, faith is believing that God exists, that He rewards those who seek Him and that we can place hope in Him because His promises will always be true. After Paul defines faith, he puts flesh on it in ways that both the intended readers and Christians today can look to to understand how to live an authentic life of faith.

There are two Ordinary Time periods in the Methodist liturgical year, the weeks after Epiphany and Kingdomtide, and the weeks after Pentecost. The Christian year focuses upon two major periods in the life of Christ: Christmas (Advent-Christmas-Epiphany) and Easter (Lent-Easter-Pentecost).

 

Ordinary Time follows each period.

The word "ordinary" does not mean "routine" or "not special," but refers to the "ordinal numbers" (first, second, third, etc.) used to count the Sundays (such as the Third Sunday after Epiphany). This term comes from the Latin ordinalis, meaning "numbered" or "ordered," and tempus ordinarium, "measured time."

The first period of Ordinary Time, called the Season after Epiphany, begins on Epiphany Day and ends on the day before Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent). The central theme of this season is the calling of disciples and the early ministry of Jesus.

The second period of Ordinary Time, the Season after Pentecost, follows the Easter period. It begins the day after Pentecost and continues to Advent. The purpose of this season is to support new disciples and the whole congregation in living out the gifts and callings discerned during the Easter Season and commissioned on the Day of Pentecost.

Every year, Christians experience the contrast between the central seasons of Christmas and Easter, and the in-between times, where we see, speak about, and join God's ongoing work in the world. We thus experience two regular periods of preparation, celebration and action in ministry each year, with the Ordinary Times as the primary periods of action.
