“Jesus. Superhero?” Sermon Series
May 19/20-June 2/3
Our culture seems obsessed with superheroes — millions of dollars are spent on comic books, tv shows, and movies celebrating figures that have special powers or stand above the depravity that exists in this world to fight for something larger. In a three-week series, we look at these extraordinary figures and see what it tells us about the human condition and how it might inform our view of God. Do we treat Jesus like God, or like one more superhero?
“A Cape or a Cross”
With Rev. Charles Stokes
Fantasy superheroes in comics, TV, and movies grab our attention, heroes like Superman, Batman, Avengers, and others. As Christians our hero, of course, is Jesus Christ. Superman came from outside the earth, was raised by a farm family, grew up to rescue people. Sounds a little like Jesus, doesn’t it? Superman is make-believe; Jesus is real. Superman has power; Jesus is power. Superman rescues; Jesus saves. I’m not faster than a speeding bullet, or more powerful than a locomotive, nor able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but I can tell the love of Jesus and say he died for all. See you in church.
Saturday
5:30 p.m. in Wesley Hall
The Saturday evening service features traditional Christ-centered, biblically-based sermons, along with a relaxed atmosphere and casual dress. You will experience a variety of worship music from various ensembles, soloists, and instrumentalists. Saturday night is truly alive at St. Andrew!
“Jesus. Superman?”
With Rev. Arthur Jones
Superman and Jesus seem similar, but as Christians, we worship a God who died on a cross, a sign of his humility and weakness. Superman was ashamed of his kryptonite. Christians boast in the cross.

The Well ~ New Contemporary Service
The Well, led by Rev. Arthur Jones, is a contemporary service at St. Andrew United Methodist Church that will launch in the fall of 2012. Over the past few years, St. Andrew has offered a variety of traditional services and is now thrilled to be offering a contemporary service of the highest quality. We are renovating the original Sanctuary on our property with a new sound system, new lighting system, and a series of projectors to articulate the basic truth of the Gospel in a new and high-tech way. The Well is a service for all people to come and receive the living water that God offers all those who have faith in him. Be a part of this exciting new chapter in the life of St. Andrew!
