Beyond the Sermon
This podcast features the sermons preached at First Methodist Church of Collingswood, NJ and follow-up conversations from the pastors, ministry leaders, and the people of FUMC Collingswood. These conversations get us "Beyond the Sermon" and into what we learned through our sermon preparation, answering questions that arise from the sermons, and what God has done and is doing in our lives.
