Andy Talks

This morning we read Luke 4:31–37, where Jesus, fresh off a brutal rejection in Nazareth, walks right into another synagogue in Capernaum and keeps preaching. That really struck me—he didn’t let one bad experience shake his calling. And that’s a great reminder for us too. Sometimes we try something for God and it flops. We teach, serve, speak up—and it doesn’t go the way we hoped. But failure doesn’t mean we’re not called. I shared a story about my first sermon (it was rough!) and how, over time, I grew because I didn’t give up. If God has placed something on your heart—whether it’s music, teaching, behind-the-scenes service, or anything else that brings you joy and purpose—keep going, even when it’s hard. You won’t get it perfect, but if you’re walking in your calling, God will meet you there.Shameless plug: here’s a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
