newLife Astoria's Sermon of the Week

*Preaching begins at 47:17* Noah's friends thought he was crazy for preaching about a flood and building an ark when the earth as yet had never experienced rain. Yet Noah had faith when no one else did, and this made Noah's faith stand out. What is God calling you to do in radical obedience to Him that might separate you from others?

*Preaching begins at 37:51* What does it mean to have faith? For those mentioned in Hebrews Chapter 11, there were people who walked with God and demonstrated their faith by acts of courage. Despite their human imperfections, they won against great odds because they believed in a great God. If God can use them, HE CAN USE YOU, if you have the faith!

*Preaching begins at 34:16* (This recording was abruptly interrupted at the last 8-10min of service. You can watch the rest on our YouTube channel. We apologize for the inconvenience.) Homer Simpson is a joke and Archie Bunker is a jerk, but a modern day Christian father loves Jesus. He is a heavily involved family man who leads his home to serve the Lord.

The family structure that produces the best outcomes for children on average are two biological parents who remain married. Divorced parents produce the next best outcomes. Next Sunday, we will examine how biblical marriage is best for the family and how to thrive in one, but also how to survive with hope when it fails. --Preaching begins at 32:47--

God's design for the family is to make God's Word a part of everything we do. Whether it be family meals, attending church, schooling our children, playing sports, everything is to involve the Word of God. They're called House Rules. Let's do this! --Preaching begins at 32:16--
