Francis Asbury Society

Fall 2020: Covenant on the Ground (a Study of 1 & 2 Kings)
2020-09-15 - 2021-09-15 | Wilmore Free Methodist Church, 1200 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
In Joshua, Judges, and Samuel, we see the Covenant ideal served, lost, and recovered. But what then? Will the kings of Israel do what the covenant with Yahweh requires of them or not? If not, why? And what does that mean, both for them and for us? What are the obstacles to being faithful to God in the nitty-gritty of life? This study will often be inspiring, and when it isn’t, will always be challenging.

2021 Hemlock Inn Retreats
2021-08-24 14:00 - 2021-08-26 12:30 | The Hemlock Inn, 911 Galbraith Creek Rd., Bryson City, NC, 28713, United States
In the next to the last book of the Bible, Jesus’ brother, Jude, describes in twenty-five verses how believers can stand firm for the “faith once for all delivered to the saints.” Confronting the pervasive apostasy and blatant heretical teaching within the fellowship of Christ, Jude exhorts all true disciples of Jesus to persevere by embracing the holy faith and sanctifying power of the triune God who is able to “keep us from falling.” At this year’s Hemlock Inn Retreats, Dr. Andy Miller III will make us aware of the imminent, corrosive dangers of false teachings and encourage us to fight the good fight within our faith communities.
FEATURED SPEAKER
This summer, Dr. Andy Miller III and his wife Abby moved from leading the work of The Salvation Army in Tampa, Florida, to serving as vice president for Academic Affairs at Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi. His primary areas of interest include Salvation Army history and theology, holiness, and homiletics. Dr. Miller also serves on the Board of Directors of the Francis Asbury Society and is a consultant to the Southern Methodist University Perkins School of Theology Center for Preaching Excellence. He hosts a podcast called “More to the Story,” which shares weekly content from an orthodox Wesleyan perspective.
The Millers have three children: Andy IV, Titus Wesley, and Georgia.

Ephesians: My Heart, Christ's Home
2021-09-07 19:00 - 20:15 | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
What does it mean to live one’s daily life “seated in the heavenlies with Christ”?
Ephesians was written while Paul was in prison in Rome. It expresses Paul’s mature thought on such things as the identity of Jesus and, in particular, the nature of the Christian life. Paul talks about what it means to live one’s daily life “seated in the heavenlies with Christ.” He explains what it means for Christ to live in our hearts by faith, being the temple of God, and manifesting Christ’s love. He shows how all these things are possible because of the reality of the Spirit living in us. In this study, you will be challenged to rise above Christian mediocrity and to plunge beneath a superficial, world-absorbed faith.

International Day of Prayer
2021-11-23 18:00 - 19:30 | KY
Our world needs this divine healing. The Church, as a community of priests, must lead in this intercession. We acknowledge divine sovereignty and human responsibility. However, we are not simply to pray for a return to business as usual. We are not merely to ask God to stay his hand of judgment. We are to pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. May God give us the faith to trust God for healing from the pandemic and a corresponding reset of refreshment. The coming revival can be as pervasive as the recent pandemic!
The Francis Asbury Society is calling the church to corporate fasting and prayer. On November 23 we hosted a virtual international day of prayer from our Ministry Center. The basis of our petition is stated in Daniel 9:18, “We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act!”

Ezekiel: Death and Resurrection
2022-01-11 19:00 - 20:00, 2022-09-13 19:00 - 20:00 | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
Led by Dr. John N. Oswalt, an American scholar and distinguished professor of Old Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary.
SUMMARY: Humans are remarkably prone to foolish confidence which when destroyed leads to utter despair. The book of Ezekiel calls us to face the reality of sin and its consequences, but at the same time, it calls us to accept the reality of grace and redemption. This completed study explores the book of Ezekiel and its themes of death and resurrection.

FAS Student Society Spring 2022 Bible Study
2022-01-13 19:00 - 20:00 | KY
As we walk with Jesus and seek to look more like Him, we know that involves surrender so He can come in His fullness and take up residence in us. We will never surrender to someone we do not fully know or trust. This semester we are invited to the heart of God where we will experience His love and kindness as we look at the stories of others who were able to say “yes” to Him. And hopefully, we will find that the same God who walked with Adam and Eve in the garden and who provided for Abraham is our God, and we can learn to trust Him. In the Spring Semester, we will focus especially on the stories in the Old Testament.

Titus Women Bible Study - Stories of Faith
2022-09-13 09:00 - 10:30 | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
For this fall we will look at testimony messages spoken in the Old Testament. These testimonies continually pointed people to God, telling of his love and faithfulness, praising his character and his provision, and reminding them of God’s sovereign authority over all of creation. We will look at who is speaking, who they are speaking to, and the response of those that were listening. As we reflect on what is being shared, we can learn better how to share our own stories of faith. We serve a compassionate, faithful, and loving God that reveals himself throughout the pages of Scripture. God wants us to share about his character. He wants us to tell others how he has been faithful. He wants us to always remember who he is and what he has done. When these heroes of the faith speak, we can observe, listen, learn, and imitate what they have said and done and leave a legacy of our own—a legacy of declaring our allegiance to follow Jesus 100% and to tell everyone we know about him.
Let’s have the passion and excitement of the woman at the well after her encounter with Jesus. “So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” (John 4:28–29).

Messianic Prophecies: A Series for Advent
2022-11-29 19:00 - 20:00 | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
This study was led by Dr. John N. Oswalt, an American scholar and distinguished professor of Old Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary.
SUMMARY: It was an event that forever changed the course of human history. God came as one of his very own to save his own. The birth of the Messiah had been prophesied for thousands of years, yet many did not realize what had happened. In Advent 2022, Dr. John Oswalt looked at Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah. This 3-week series from the Francis Asbury Society helps orient you to celebrate anew the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.

7 Deadly Sins vs 7 Cardinal Virtues
2023-01-24 19:00 - 20:00 | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
This Bible study was led by several different speakers and produced by the Francis Asbury Society in 2023.
SUMMARY: In contrasting each of the seven deadly sins with their opposite virtues, we can gain insight and mature in holiness (see Colossians 3:5–17). Cultivating the cardinal virtues is not the solution for sin—only the atoning work of Christ does that—but it can lead to a healthy, holy life. In these 16 sessions, we’ll study each deadly sin in contrast to its opposite virtue so that we can grow in grace and be better equipped to present ourselves holy and pleasing to God, which is our spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1).

Hosea: God's Unchanging Love
2023-08-28 19:00 - 20:00 | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
This Bible study was led by Dr. John N. Oswalt, an American scholar and distinguished professor of Old Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary.
SUMMARY: The northern kingdom of Israel was facing destruction. Under the inexorable pressure of the empire of Assyria, one king after another was being bloodily replaced. The sins of the nation seemed to be multiplying. Defeat and exile were looming. What would God say to a people like that? He cannot ignore their sins and the consequences of those sins, but he also wants to tell them that while his love will not prevent those consequences neither will it be deterred by them. What that means is that there is hope beyond the destruction. If, in the midst of judgment, they will turn back to him, judgment need not be the end. As we in America look at what may be a grim future, we too need to be assured that God’s love extends through and beyond whatever judgment our bad choices may bring upon us.

DFK Symposium: Prevenient Grace
2023-09-26 | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
Colin Williams concluded that Wesley’s emphasis on preliminary grace enabled him to break “the chain of logical necessity” that seemed to be the inevitable consequence of original sin. But does Scripture teach this concept? A leading evangelical theologian dismissed it, saying, “The problem is that there is no clear and adequate basis in Scripture for this concept of a universal enablement. The theory, appealing though it is in many ways, simply is not taught explicitly in the Bible.”
However, Dr. Brian Shelton, chair of the Christian Studies and Philosophy Department at Asbury University, has written a solid introduction to the doctrine of prevenient grace from a biblical, historical, and theological perspective. He makes a case for original sin, conditional election, prevenient grace, and the universal opportunity for all to believe.
In this symposium Dr. Shelton will deliver the keynote address. After lunch there will be a panel discussion on the topic:

Dr. Chris Bounds will represent the thought of Arminius.
Dr. Suzanne Nicholson will represent the implications to systematic and practical theology.
Rev. Bill Kierce

REGISTRATION IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Speakers
Dr. Brian Shelton has worked in higher education for twenty years at four Christian colleges, serving as professor and as academic dean. He holds a Ph.D. in historical theology centered on early Christianity. His areas of interest include the early church in Rome, patristic exegesis, martyrdom, and Italian religious history. He has led several study tours in Europe, finding on-site experiences to be one of the best ways for students to grasp the significance of history. These have included Luther in Germany, Bonhoeffer in Berlin, the Renaissance in Florence, the early church in Rome, and the Holocaust in Poland. Brian spent ten years in biology research, recently leading a medical and sustainable development mission experience to Honduras. He is a CCCU Leadership Development Institute Fellow, a Georgia Governor’s Teaching Fellow, and a senior fellow with the John and Charles Wesley Center for Christian Thought. He serves on the board of the Manchester Wesley Research Centre. For more information about Dr. Shelton, see his full bio on the Asbury University website here.

Featured Book
Prevenient Grace: God’s Provision for Fallen Humanity (by W. Brian Shelton)
$24.95
God enables all people to exercise saving faith in Christ by mitigating the effects of depravity, an initiative that theologians call prevenient grace or ‘enabling grace.’ Dr. Shelton clearly identifies the proper place of this concept in the theological landscape and calls for a new dialogue about its role in individual salvation. Prevenient grace has been a bone of contention between Wesleyan and Calvinist Christians for nearly five hundred years. However, Dr. Shelton traces the biblical and historical roots of this concept and concludes that it is vital to understanding how God reaches sinful human beings. He explains, ‘This book endeavors to show that prevenient grace is implicit if not explicit in Scripture; that it is not contrary to any other biblical teaching about salvation; and that it offers the best coherence of the biblical data on saving faith.’ ‘Prevenient grace is just one part of the great drama of salvation. Some of the most brilliant theologians have been perplexed by it, so they have denied and even denounced the doctrine. However, prevenient grace effectively confronts the problem of inherited depravity and yet gives due regard to God’s role in the salvation of fallen human beings. The effect is captured by one contemporary theologian who said, ‘Man is set free to depend on God.”

2023-11-07 - 2023-11-09 | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
Holiness Collaborative 2023
November 7—9, 2023
The Language of Holiness

The Holiness Collaborative was launched to provide a setting for individuals passionate about the transformative work of the Holy Spirit to gather for a time of encouragement, equipping, and resourcing. We gather, carrying in our hearts the contexts and lives we are blessed to minister to, seeking the Lord’s help to faithfully continue serving and seeing His transformation take root.
This year’s Holiness Collaborative will look at “The Language of Holiness”. Through small group discussions, teaching sessions, and other collaborative approaches we will look at the power of our words as we share the powerful message of Holiness with those we serve.
Leadership Team
Bill Kierce is the President of The Francis Asbury Society, husband to Kim, father to three grown children, and grandfather to 8 grandkids. He is deeply convinced that we are incapable in our own strength to fulfill God’s call or to live a life that wholly pleases God. He recalls the experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit as “I was met that night with waves of God’s presence overwhelming me with the reality of His love and power. I have claimed that as my initial baptism with the Holy Spirit and entrance into entire sanctification.”
Josh Hallahan is the Director of Discipleship at The Francis Asbury Society, husband to Kelly, and father to Caleb, Seth, Elizabeth, and Rebekah. Josh firmly believes that discipleship ought to be at the heartbeat of all Christ followers, and he counts it an absolute joy to walk alongside the men and women Jesus has entrusted him with. Josh loves gathering like-minded individuals together to collaborate and encourage one another to continue serving Jesus faithfully.
Dr. Matt O’Reilly is the lead pastor at Christ Church in Birmingham Alabama Husband to Naomi. Father to Patrick, Vivian, and Jackson. Dr. Matt O’Reilly is Lead Pastor at Christ Church Birmingham. He is a fellow of the Center for Pastor Theologians, and Director of Research at Wesley Biblical Seminary where he leads the doctoral program and teaches New Testament, preaching, and pastoral ministry.
