Andy Talks

Today in our Traditional Service, Andy looks at Psalm 90.  In this passage we are told to count our days. What does it mean to consider how brief our lives are in the scope of eternity.  How can this lead us to wisdom? 

Today as we start our week of looking at Matthew 25: 31-46, we talk about the Christian Year and how worship is organized.  We specifically talk about this Sunday, Christ the King Sunday. What would it look like if we realized that Christ was king now? 

Today as I think about Psalm 90 and how brief life is, I think about what I would tell my younger self if I could.  I used to run so hot and the things I worries about were of no importance in the light of eternity.  Our passions and energy matters.  Let's use them on what truly counts.  

In our Wednesday Night Bible Study, we look at Wesley's concept of holiness and how that effects every part of our lifestyle.  How we use our money, live, and even how we fast should be a reflection of our love of God and Neighbor and should better help us love God and Neighbor.  

Today we look deeper at Psalm 90, specifically at the world in front of the text.  What does this passage have to do with how we live our lives today?  When we consider our lives, and what a gift each day is, how do we keep from wasting it?  What is the right path for us to walk? 

Today we look at the world of the text of Psalm 90.  We pay special attention to verse 12, as we are told in this verse to number our days.  Wisdom comes from understanding how sacred and brief life truly is. What can we learn from numbering our days? 

Today in our morning reflection, we look at the world behind the text of Psalm 90.  This Psalm was written by Moses, which is a rare thing within the Psalms, most of them were written by David.  Moses lived a unique life. What can Moses' life teach us about worship, about wisdom, and about God?  

This week in our reflections, we will be looking closer at Psalm 90.  Today, though, we ask the question, "what is a Psalm?"  What is a Psalm trying to do, how is a Psalm useful to our faith, how were the Psalms useful to the Jewish people, to Jesus, and to the church?  

In our Traditional Service message from November 8, 2020, Andy shares with us from Joshua 24: 1-13, 14-25.  We see the people of Israel renew their covenant and Joshua implore them to put their whole faith in God and God alone. 

Today we finish up looking at Joshua 24: 1-3, 14-25, and we ask this question. What happens next?  What happens after the convent is renewed?  Do the people follow perfectly?  What do you think?  We find that they don't, but we also find this, for every time they fall and fail, for every time, they find God's grace waiting on them. They can start over every time. So can we.
