Andy Talks

In our Traditional message from Sunday, January 10, 2021, it is Baptism of the Lord Sunday.  We read from Mark 1: 1-11. We see how for Jesus His baptism wasn't the end of His journey, but the beginning.  The same is true for us!  

Today in our Gospel reading, we see Jesus tell us that we will not believe until we have signs and wonders.  The father believers, however, before the miracle, and then he sees it.  We may need to have faith before we can see the miracle.

Today we look at Psalm 103 and Isaiah 52: 3-6.  When we read these passages together, we see something amazing. God is determined to show us grace and mercy.  God is determined to save us.  If we aren't saved, if we don't know God's love, it won't be because God didn't try.  He knows we are weak and frail, and he desires us in spite of it all.  Today, God is determined to be in a relationship with us.  Our job is to respond. 

Today on this Day of Epiphany, we look at how we are all ushered into the kingdom of heaven through Jesus.  And we see that every time we experience God, every time we feel the Holy Spirit, that is a foretaste of heaven.  

Today in our reflection, we look at Psalm 2.  Here the Psalmist asks a question, why do the nations rage?  Why do they plot and scheme?  The Lord in Heaven laughs.  This passage is a great reminder.  No matter what the turmoil may be in the earth, no matter what the angst may be in the world, no matter how high the anxiety, remember this.  God is God.  He is in control.  Do not fear.  The Lord laughs.  Remember, He is God.  

In our Epiphany Sunday message, Andy looks at Matthew 2: 1-12.  We see the Wise Men come and worship Jesus.  What can the dangers of their journey teach us about ours?  

In our message from December 27, 2020, Andy looks at Luke 2: 21-40.  In this passage we see Simeon and Anna, they had looked for the Messiah for years.  They finally see Him.  Today, do we have eyes to see what God is doing?  

In our Christmas Eve message, Andy shares with us about the Prince of Peace.  We seem to have no peace in our world.  Peace will only come through a relationship with Jesus Christ.  He is our peace.  When we know that, we can live out His peace each day.  

In our Traditional Sunday sermon we look at Luke 4: 16-21.  In this passage we see Jesus give His first sermon and we see that it is a message shows use what life will look like if we lived out the Good News in His name.  

In the message from our Blue Christmas service,  Andy shares from Matthew 23: 37-39.  In this passage we see Jesus pain as Jerusalem rejected Him.  He shares our pain and our loss and comes to us in our pain and loss.  Don't give up on Jesus.  He has not and will not give up on you, and me.
