St. Matthew's United Methodist Church

 In our sermon for Sunday, May 24, Andy preaches from Matthew 20: 16-20. Jesus gives the disciples a great task, one that may seem impossible. But through Him, they were up to the task. So are we! 

 In our sermon from May 17, Andy preaches from Acts 1:6-11. When Jesus ascended He went to the right hand of the Father, where now He is praying for us and giving us the support that we need. We should do the same. We should pray for each other and we must be there for each other. Let's pray for and love one another. 

From our March 29 online service, Andy shares with us from Ezekiel 37: 1-14.  Even in a foreign place, God still speaks and gives life. Even when life is not normal, God speaks.  Even during COVID, God still speaks.  

In our Palm Sunday message, April 5, And shares with Matthew 21: 1-11.  There are difficult times in our lives. Really challenges.  We know it. But don't rush into those times.  Look for moments of grace, ever day.  

In our Easter message, Andy preaches from Matthew 28: 1-10.  Jesus rose from the dead.  He overcame. But for Him to overcome, there must have been something for him to overcome. The cross was real.  But so is resurrection.  Come on up for the rising.  

In our message from April 19, Andy preaches from John 20: 24-31.  We see Thomas adjusting the reality of the cross. Others clung to hope, but he knew Jesus was dead.  How could he hope?  Be careful that we don't grow too used to the darkness of this moment.  Light and life always win.  

In our message from April 26, Andy reads from Luke 24: 13-35.  We see Jesus encounter disciples on the road to Emmaus. They didn't see Him for who He was, they were prevented. Jesus used Scripture and the Meal to show them (and us) Himself. May we see Him in the word and in the sacraments today and each day.  

In our May 3 message, Andy preaches from John 21: 15-19.  Peter thought he had failed beyond Jesus' ability to redeem.  He thought he had done too much.  He hadn't.  Jesus loved him and restored him.  Just as He will for us today.  

Andy shares with us from 1 Corinthians 15: 1-11.  In Corinth, Paul took every dispute they had back to the Gospel.  And what is at the center of the Gospel?  The resurrection. Today, how do we see our families, our relationships, and even our economic stress through the Gospel?  How do we see these things in light of the resurrection?  

In our Online Worship from March 22, 2020, Tim and Anse Rigby lead us in worship and Andy shares with us from John 9: 1-5.  God is not against us, He is for us and He is with us.  Be encouraged! 

Here's our podcast from our online worship, March 15, 2020.  In this message, in this time of worry and fear and stress, we need to be reminded that God is with us, and we need to be that reminder to someone else.  

In our Traditional Service Commitment Sunday, Andy shares from Jeremiah 32: 1-15, 36-44.  He shares with us why he believes in our church and why is choosing to "buy a field."  

In our message from February 16, Andy shares from Genesis 12: 1-5 and Matthew 5: 13-16.  As Christians, we live for the world, and our church exists to be a city on a hill.  We shine our light wherever it is that we go. 

In this message, Andy preaches from Luke 11: 1-4.  In this season of the life of our church, what does it look like for us to be Rooted in Prayer? 

In this message, Andy preaches from Psalm 1.  What does it mean for our church to be rooted in a vision? And what is that vision?
