February 15, 2026Sermon Series: "The Time Has Come"Sermon: “What About Justice?” Scriptures: Isaiah 42:1-9, Matthew 25:31-46Rev. Dr. Peter MoonLike last week’s conversation, we struggle in the church to speak about “justice.” The kingdom conversation gives us a biblical way to do it. As we will see, God’s kingdom justice is central to who he is, and how the kingdom works. The challenge is to make this world look more like the kingdom and its justice. How do we do it? As we will see, it requires something that most of us do not desire. There are times when the church, seeking justice, must address the politics of our world. Try as we might, it is difficult to ignore the 66 Bible chapters and the battles within between the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of the world. Justice helps us define and clarify what constitutes these two embattled kingdoms. Prayerfully, as we pursue a biblical picture of kingdom justice, our comfort level will rise as will the quality of our kingdom and political discourse.

February 8, 2026Sermon Series: "The Time Has Come"Sermon: “Kingdom Style Diversity"Scriptures: Isaiah 56:1-8, Revelation 7:9-12Rev. Dr. Peter MoonWe have many different factions fighting over the term diversity. To many, it is just one word in the “woke” concept of DEI. Many process the term politically and as a result, reject it or shy away from it. This solely political lens upon diversity has not been as transformational as we would like. The sermon will highlight a different way. Ethnic diversity is a fundamental characteristic of the kingdom of God. It is clear in our reading from Isaiah, among others, but especially in the picture of the eternal kingdom is Revelation, as all the tribes and nations gather around the throne. Using some contemporary stories of diversity, or lack thereof, the sermon will make a case for forming a new narrative for all of us around diversity, based on the image of the kingdom instead of politics. Prayerfully, this will also enable us to think about our inclusion efforts as a church with deeper understanding and renewed passion.

Class Video Week 5 v2: "The Time Has Come: Kingdom Style Diversity"

Sermon Series: "The Time Has Come: New Kingdom Life for a New Year"Sermon: "The Upside Down Kingdom"Scripture Reading: Matthew 5:1-11Rev. Dr. Peter Moon, Lead PastorJesus turned everything upside down. The Sermon on the Mount makes that clear. But the statement is not exactly accurate. As it turns out, Jesus is the one who is right side up, and we are the ones who are disoriented. He reminds us that we are to change and become like little children if we want to enter the kingdom. How do we do that? How do we change so that we are aligned with him? The sermon will speak to the priority of discipleship and the spiritual disciplines as the means through which the Spirit changes us and, in the words of Wesley, moves us toward “perfection”.

Members of Reveille attended United Methodist Day at the General Assembly. They met with Delegate Rodney Willett and attended the event's closing worship. The day was hosted by the Conference Legislative Network (CLN), and this annual event offers clergy and laity a chance to meet with legislators, learn about key issues, and advocate for policies that reflect our call to love our neighbors. #unitedmethodistchurch #virginia_umc
