Andy Talks

Join us tonight for our online Bible Study as we continue in the Eight Enriching Practices of United Methodists.  Tonight we talk about the power of community. And we hear as well Andy's call to prayer in the light of our national election.

In our look at  Joshua 24: 1-3, 14-25 today we look at the world in front of the text. What does this passage mean for us?  What does it mean for me and you, today, to choose to serve God over the gods of our neighbors? This passage has a TON do with our we define ourselves. How will we choose to live? 

In light of our election yesterday, Andy shares with us some words about prayer, unity, and the cross.  May we work for the good of our city and may we lift high the cross. 

Today we look again at Joshua 24: 1-3, 14-25.  What is this passage actually telling us?  What are the words on the page?  What does it really mean when Joshua says that his house will worship the Lord? Why is he pushing the people so?  Join us as we look deeper at these passages.  

Today we continue with our look this week at Joshua 24: 1-3, 14-25.  Today we are going look at the concept of covenant, what does it mean to say that God made a covenant with the people? What is a covenant and what does this mean for us that God makes covenant with us, especially thought Jesus?  

In our Tradition Sermon from Sunday, All Saints' Day, November 1, 2020, Andy shares with us from Revelation 7: 9-17.  We see here a beautiful picture of heaven, of worship and what is to come. We see our true home. And we reminded that we are just passing through.  

In our morning reflection today, we are doing something a little different.  Our reflections this week are going to walk side by side with the Rooted Daily Bible reading at St. Matthew's UMC.  This week our text is Joshua 24: 1-3, 14-25, and today we are going to look at what happened up to this point with the conquest of the Promised Land. 

Today we look at what it means for us love our neighbor in a public means. These are at the works of justice.  In the Lord's Prayer, we see that we are supposed to, as a public body, the church, work to live out God's will here on earth, as it is in heaven. That means we are the church are supposed to work against hatred, evil, and sin, wherever it is found.  

Join us for our Wednesday Night Bible Study as we continue in our book The Eight Life Enriching Practices of United Methodists.  Today we are talking about Renewal and Healing and will be talking specifically about the church year.  

Today we look at what it means for us love our neighbor in an individual means. These are at the works of compassion.  Matthew 25 shows us to for us to love our neighbor, it is not simply enough to "feel" compassion or love for our neighbor, but we are called follow through with these works of mercy with our individual compassion.
