Sometimes it is easy to believe, do we act on what we believe? Pastor Andrew reminds us that there is belief, and there is action, we need to do both. 2 Corinthians 4:13  And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 

Last week, Pastor Andrew reminded us that if we look, we will see God everywhere and in everything. Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.

This week, Pastor Andrew reminds us that God gives us detailed instructions for our lives. We need to pay attention to those instructions. Deuteronomy 4:5-6  5 “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. 6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’

This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that we all have influence in some area of our lives. We should always try to use that influence for good and to advance God’s kingdom. Jude 20-23  20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction; 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

Jesus said “when you pray…” not “if” Philippians 4:6-7 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Pastor Andrew reminds us that the Word of God is life. We need to learn to live. 2 Peter 1:5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

This week Pastor Andrew reminded us of an important characteristic of our God, His faithfulness! Luke 16:10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.

This week, Pastor Andrew reminds us that every day is an important day when you are serving Jesus. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 

“We love because He first Loved us” (1John 4:19) listen as Pastor Andrew teaches us how we can love even more! Luke 7:41 “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”

This week Pastor Andrew reminds, that God’s Word (ie Jesus) is the same today, yesterday and forever… (Heb 13)   Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

This week Pastor Andrew has returned to remind us about the power of God’s Word! Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

Brother Steve Nedde brings the message during this final week of Pastor Andrew’s vacation. Haggai 2:4-5 NKJV Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says the LORD; 'and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,' says the LORD, 'and work; for I am with you,' says the LORD of hosts. 'According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!'

This week Pastor Chris joins us again to bring the message as Pastor Andrew is away. He asks a simple question for us all to think about but this time dealing with the future! Luke 6:12-13 NKJV. Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

This week Pastor Chris joins us to bring the message as Pastor Andrew is away. He asks a simple question for us all to think about. Matt 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that we should always be ready for whatever comes our way! Acts 21:13 Then Paul answered, “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

“Keep an eye out for…” was an old adage to be aware. Pastor Andrew and Jesus reminds us that we always need to stay vigilant and be aware. Mark 13:37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

Joshua said “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord “ (Josh 24:15). This week Pastor Andrew reminded us how important it is to take a stance to follow God! 1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

We are reminded about how we need to prepare our hearts to receive the seed of God’s word Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.

Jesus says “you are the light of the world”, and “you are the salt of the earth” pastor Andrew reminds us that we need to live like that! 1 John 2:3-6  3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

What comes out of your mouth can have a major effect on those around you. Pastor Andrew reminds us to guard that what you say and be sure it is “helpful for building others up”. Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
