When we find ourselves in difficult times, we can sometimes lose heart. We see the problems ahead as not just trying, but insurmountable.
When we remember who we are and whose we are, however, we begin to view challenges not as obstacles, but as opportunities to follow God into the future.
In these video clips excerpted from his August 2022 President's Address to The United Methodist Council of Bishops, Bishop Thomas Bickerton uses the story of Moses to remind us that we are not called to trust our own strength and abilities. Rather, we are to trust God to equip us for the work to which the Lord has called us in the world. Bishop Bickerton reminds us of who we have been as The United Methodist Church—serving God and neighbor together. And he asks us dream about what we want for our Church in the future.
