Andy Talks

Join us as we pray together and reflect upon Luke 20. 

Join us for prayer and reflection upon Luke 20: 20-26. 

Join us today for our morning prayer and reflection upon Luke 20: 9-19  

In our Traditional Service from June 13, 2021, Andy shares with us from Genesis 22: 1-19. What are we to make of a God who asks Abraham to sacrifice his son? What can we learn about this concept of testing within the Bible? What does this say to us today? 

Today we look again at Ephesians 6: 5-9.  In this passage, Paul tells us a simple truth, everything we do is for God's glory. Everything. No task is too great, or too small, that it is not to be done for God's glory.  All of our life is worship.  All of it.

In this passage today, we see Paul have words for us regarding slavery.  What are we to do with this?  How are we to interpret and understand passages such as these that deal with things like slavery?   Understanding the whole teaching of scripture is a great start. When we see the movement and teaching of the whole of scripture, it helps passages like this make better sense in context.  Here is a...

Today we look at Paul's teaching regarding parents and children. First, we see that children are to obey and honor their parents. What does that mean, especially as we grow older?  And what about if our parents aren't acting in ways that really deserve that honor and obedience.  We also see that Paul has a word for children. How are we to raise and discipline them in the Lord?

Today we begin a section in Ephesians that deals with the different relationships within our lives. Today, we look at what Paul says for husbands and wives, and it is words that you have heard before.  Join us as we look deeper.

Today in our readings, we see that constant battle between light and darkness. To live in the darkness may seem comfortable and appealing, but it does not lead to life. To walk in the light means that first we must wake up and let Christ's light shine upon us. That first light can seem blinding and can even be painful. But when we wake up and live in the light, we find life.

In our reading today, we see Paul offer some very practical advice for us as Christians in how we live our daily lives.  One of the things that we see, that comes up in this passage is this, anger. We are told, be angry, but do not sin. How do we deal with anger? What does that look like within our lives?

In our INTERSECTION sermon from May 30. Andy shares with us from John 3: 1-17.  We see in this passage that even the serpent, the cursed one from Genesis 3 is used as a symbol of God's love and repetition. Even the serpent is used by God.  

Today we look at Ephesians 4: 17-24. We are told that the renewed mind is the key in our battle to live a life seeking that honors God. But, what does that mean? What does it mean to renew our minds?

In our Pentecost 2021 message, Andy shares with us from Acts 2: 1-21.  We see on this day the Spirit fall and God do amazing things in the church. Our church desires to be faithful as well, and we hear some specifics about some of the options God has giving our church as part of our building campaign today! 

Today in Ephesians, we are told that we are to live a life worthy of the Gospel. Goodness, that sounds tough. What does that even mean?   I used to struggle with that concept.  I still do, but today for an entirely different reason.

Today in Ephesians, we see this truth. We are loved more than our minds can ever truly know and understand.  You can know this love that surpasses knowledge. Today, you can know the unknowable; all through faith.

In our Traditional Message from Sunday, May 16,  Andy shares with us from 1 Samuel 3: 1-13.  There was a time where the people walked without a vision, but at the right time, God spoke once more. Today, it may not feel like God is speaking, but He is calling us to something glorious.  

Today we read through Ephesians 3: 1-13.  We see this beautiful word from Paul, we can go before God with boldness.  You are loved by God, but you are forgiven through Jesus. Today, you can boldly go to the Father.  

Today in our readings, we look at Ephesians 2: 1-10. We see that God is building a big house, a holy house, a temple for His dwelling.  The foundations for this house are the teachings of the Apostles and the Prophets, which Jesus as the cornerstone. What exactly is this house being built upon?

Today we look at Ephesians 2: 1-10.  In this passage we see that we are saved by grace through faith, so no one can boast. But we learn as well that the same God who gives us salvation is also the same God who gives us the good works that He has prepared for us.

Today we continue in Ephesians, we look at 1: 15-23.  In this passage, we are reminded once again at the greatness of our God.  Sometimes we forget just our great our God is because we forget to look up!  Our God is greater than all things!  Look up and be reminded!

Today in our reflections, we started Ephesians.  We'll look at 1:1-14.  We see today that not only are we not saved by our works, but even our faith, that is a gift of God.  God is at work in all things and is bring us to salvation for His glory! 

Today in our final passage from Galatians Paul tells us that if he is going to boast in anything, it will be in the cross of Jesus Christ.  Nothing else in this world can satisfy.  Only Jesus.

Tonight in our final bible study of the semester, we talk of the importance of the return of Christ, and the hope that this truth provides to us.  This truth is not something that is scary; it is something that gives us great hope! 

Today in our readings, we look at Galatians 6: 1-10.  In this passage we see Paul tell us to bear each others burdens. But we are to bear our own burdens as well.  In this, Paul gives us a beautiful picture of what life can be like.  

In our Sunday Traditional Sermon, Andy looks at John 15: 1-17.  Every branch that bears fruit, Jesus prunes.  His pruning doesn't mean that He is done with us.  It means He sees fruit in us.
