St. Andrews Assembly of God

What do you do when you finally have the chance to get even and every voice around you says go for it? David had that moment in a cave with King Saul. What he chose instead will challenge everything you think about pain, justice, and trusting God. Just because the circumstances line up does not mean God is giving you permission to retaliate. Are you holding something right now that belongs in His...

What if the valley you are walking through right now is not proof that God has left, but proof that He is closest? David was anointed as king and then spent years running for his life. Yet Scripture keeps saying the same thing: the Lord was with David. God's promise is not permission to force God's timing. Are you trusting Him in the waiting, or are you trying to force open a door that onl...

What if you have been reading the story of David and Goliath wrong your whole life? Everyone on that battlefield saw the same giant. But David saw something more. Faith does not pretend the hard thing is not hard. It simply refuses to leave God out of the picture. What giant are you facing right now, and what would change if you truly believed the battle belongs to the Lord?

*Please excuse the audio, as there were technical difficulties* What if the very thing that looks like God is absent is actually the moment He is working most? Samuel almost missed God's chosen king because he was looking for the wrong thing. Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. If your life does not look the way you thought it would, this one is for you.

Israel had just watched God win the battle. One chapter later, they were asking someone else to fight for them. Fear does that. It gives us spiritual amnesia. What are you trusting right now to give you the security that only God can provide? Whatever you trust to save you will eventually rule you.

Is Jesus a part of your life, or is He your life? There is a difference, and it changes everything. Colossians 3 makes it clear that God is not trying to remodel your old life. He ended it and raised you to a completely new one. The answer to the chaos you are feeling is not more control. It is Christ. What is your life actually organized around right now, and can it hold the weight of your soul?

You say you are free. But what do your repeated choices actually reveal? Jesus said that everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. Real freedom is not doing whatever you want. It is finally having the power to say no to what has been controlling you and yes to the life God designed you for. Are you living in that freedom, or are you still letting Egypt call you back?

What if the thing you are waiting on to finally bring you peace was never meant to carry that weight? Solomon had wisdom, wealth, and the favor of God, and still ended up empty. The woman at the well had been through five relationships and was still thirsty. Jesus told her there is a kind of water that never runs dry. What well do you keep going back to?

When life starts falling apart, most of us do the same thing Adam and Eve did. We grab our fig leaves and hide. But what if the chaos in your life is not something to fix on your own? What if it is an invitation? Genesis 3 reveals that God did not walk away after the fall. He walked toward it. The same is true for you today. Stop hiding. He is already calling your name.

Loneliness in a crowded church. Political opinions that feel more shaped by cable news than Scripture. Wounds from past relationships that still have not healed. These are real struggles, and the Bible speaks directly to all of them. Here is a question worth sitting with: who is actually discipling your thinking right now? Jesus, or your favorite news outlet? Because they are not the same. Bring y...

What if "is this a sin?" is actually the wrong question? The Bible does not speak directly to everything we face, but that does not leave us without answers. It leaves us with a better question: whose are you? When you know who you belong to, it changes how you approach everything else. Here is a framework from 1 Corinthians 6 that will help you navigate the hard calls with clarity and c...

God has always existed in a community of love. Before the world began, the Father loved the Son. That changes everything about why you were made and how you were meant to live. What does it actually mean that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and why does getting that right matter so much for your everyday faith? Dive into one of the most important questions in the Christian life.

You promised yourself you would never be like your parents. And then you heard their words come out of your own mouth. What if the patterns you inherited do not have the final say? Nowhere in Scripture does it say your family history holds greater authority than God's grace. Nowhere.

What if the goal of parenting was never about raising obedient kids? What if it was always about raising people who love God? Before you can shape your children, God has to deal with you first. Your kids are not just listening to what you say. They are watching how you live, how you handle failure, and whether your faith is real. Are you parenting out of faith, or out of your own unhealed wounds?

We're not becoming more secular - we're becoming more spiritually restless, just like ancient Athens. The question isn't whether you're worshiping, but what you're worshiping. What modern altars have you built? Your office? Your bank account? Your phone? Every idol makes promises it can't keep. Augustine was right: Our hearts are restless until they find rest in God.

Ever wondered if your choices actually matter if God already knows everything? The answer might surprise you. God didn't predestine you to heaven or hell—He predestined you to look like Jesus. That changes everything about how we understand grace, choice, and our relationship with Him. What if predestination is actually about God's promise that you'll be transformed, not His arbitrary...

You can have spiritual gifts without spiritual character. The Corinthian church proved this - they were charismatic and talented but struggled with basic Christian maturity. What's the difference between emotional intensity and true transformation? It starts with what captures your attention. Are you trying to change through willpower, or are you positioning yourself to behold Jesus and lettin...

Are you waiting for a supernatural sign to know God's will, or do you already know what He's asking but need courage to obey? Sometimes the Spirit leads us not around difficulty, but through it. The goal isn't comfort—it's faithfulness. What step of obedience is God asking you to take today, even without all the answers?

Are you exhausted from chasing the next spiritual high? What if being filled with the Spirit isn't about multiple fill-ups but about continuous surrender? The Greek grammar of Ephesians 5:18 reveals a life-changing truth about how God's Spirit actually works in our lives. Stop running on spiritual empty and discover what it means to live in the ongoing presence of God. Pastor Luke Williams...

Are you trying to live the Christian life in your own strength? The Day of Pentecost reveals there's more available than just salvation - there's empowerment for supernatural living. The disciples waited for God's promise, and their waiting wasn't weakness but faithful surrender. What would change in your life if you stopped striving and started surrendering to God's power? Pas...

Feeling distant from God? The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in YOU right now. Not a weaker version. Not sometimes. Every single moment. What if the problem isn't God's absence but our awareness? Stop trying to earn His presence and start awakening to the Spirit who already dwells within you. Pastor Luke Williams This is an edited recording from our corporate worship gath...

What if your biggest failure could become your greatest strength? Peter denied Jesus three times, yet Jesus chose him to lead the early church. Sometimes God uses our failures to prepare us for our calling. Your past mistakes don't disqualify you from God's purposes - they might just be preparing you for them. What failure has God been wanting to redeem in your life? Pastor Luke Williams T...

The disciples went from hiding behind locked doors to changing the world. What's the difference? They learned that God's peace doesn't make sense - it surpasses understanding. Are you letting fear keep you locked away from the life God has planned for you? Sometimes you have to do it scared, but you still have to do it. Pastor Jonathon Drose This is an edited recording from our corpora...

Ever felt like your faith was falling apart? Thomas went from demanding proof to declaring My Lord and my God! What changed everything? Sometimes our deepest doubts can lead to our strongest faith. Are your questions leading you closer to Jesus or further away? Pastor Luke Williams This is an edited recording from our corporate worship gathering on Sunday, April 12, 2026. Web:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

What if Easter reveals something even deeper than Jesus rising from the dead? What if it shows us exactly who God is? When Jesus called Mary by name at the empty tomb, it revealed a God who sees you personally. When women became the first witnesses despite having no social standing, it showed a God who chooses the unlikely. The resurrection isn't just proof Jesus is alive - it's the receip...
