Andy Talks

In Nehemiah 2: 11-20, we look at Nehemiah taking and honest inspection of the wall.  It was in bad shape. It needed to be rebuilt.  Until we know where we are and where we stand, we can't fully rebuilt.  But we want to make sure we rebuilt to be who God is calling us to be, not rebuilding on nostalgia and what we used to be.  

In our Traditional message from June 19 we look at Nehemiah 2: 1-8.  Today we see that Nehemiah is motivated to rebuild the wall because he remembers his people. As we rebuild, we need to remember the importance of our community here, remember our mission, and remember how much we love each other.  

In our Traditional sermon from June 12, Andy shares from Nehemiah 1: 1-11.  We look at what happened after the exile to Jerusalem. The wall needed to be rebuilt.  It took everyone. Post COVID, we need to rebuild. We are a different church now than we were before.  To rebuild, it will take all of us. Will you be a part?  

In John 17: 20-26, we see Jesus pray that the church may be one. We don't often think about unity as an important virtue of the church, but we see how important it was to Jesus today. What does it mean to have unity, and how is that something we can do? 

In our message from our Traditional service from May 22, 2022, Andy shares with us from Acts 16: 9-15. We see in this passage that our job is not the be the hero and save the world, our job is simply to be faithful in join in what God is already doing. 

A uniform identifies what a person does or who a person is.  In our INTERSECTION service from May 15, 2022, Andy shares with us from John 13: 31-35.  Jesus tells us that the uniform we were, as His followers, is love. 

In our Traditional message from May 8, 2022, Mother's Day, Andy shares from John 14: 23-29.  What is it that holds our families together?  What is it that holds our church together? What are our birthmarks? 

In our message from April 24, Andy looks at John 20: 19-31. We look at Thomas and his doubt. We all doubt, but how do we learn to surrender to God's grace in the midst of doubt? 

In our Easter Message from April 17,  Andy shares with us from John 20: 1-18.  During Lent, we looked at Jesus' Last Words.  On Easter, we look at His First Words after the resurrection. What can learn from what He says to Mary?  

In our Palm Sunday message, andy shares with us from Luke 23: 44-46.  What is Jesus telling us about trust when He commends His spirit to God?  What does this last saying mean for us today? 

In our series "Last Words" we look at Jesus' saying on the cross - "It is Finished" in John 19: 29-30.  What is Jesus talking about here?  What is it that is finished?  

In our series, "Last Words" we look at Jesus' last words on the cross.  On Sunday, March 27, we look at John 19: 28 where Jesus says "I Thirst."  We see how this passage plays into God's larger plan to save humanity! 

In our INTERSECTION message from March 20, 2022, Andy shares with us from Matthew 27: 46.  We see Jesus cry "why have you forsaken me."  What we do not understand is that He is quoting Psalm 22. What does this Psalm have to teach us about the cross?  

In our Traditional message from March 13, 2022, Andy shares with us from John 19: 25-28.  We see Jesus tell Mary today behold her son, and John to behold his mother.  In the family of faith, we see that water is thicker than blood.  

In our Traditional Sermon from March 6, 2022,  Andy continues our "Last Words" series looking at Jesus' last words on the cross.  Today we see Jesus tell the thief on the cross that he would be in Him in paradise.  What did this thief understand about Jesus and what did this mean for him? 

We begin our Lenten series "Last Words" by looking the first of the last words of Jesus on the cross - Father forgive them, they know not what they do. In our Ash Wednesday message, Andy helps us consider the power of forgiveness.  

In our Traditional message from February 27, 2022, Andy shares with us what Revelation is really all about. The book inspires fear in the hearts of so many, but when we understand what it is, it should inspire real hope.  

In our INTERSECTION message from February 20, 2022, Andy teaches us about what Paul's letters were about and what the General or "catholic" letters were about.  Then we take a deeper look at what Scripture teaches us about faith and works. 

In our February 13 Traditional message, Andy shares with us what the Gospels are all about, how each one is different, but all serve the same purpose, that we may know that Jesus is the Son of God.  

In our sermon from Sunday, February 6, Andy shares with us about who the Old Testament prophets where and what we can learn about faith and our God's plan for us as His people through them.
