Andy Talks

Today in our morning reflections, we look at Luke 1: 1-4.  Today we reflect upon Luke.  God used this this Gentile doctor in amazing ways to spread the Good News all across the world, in the just the same way He desires to use each of us.  

In our Traditional Message from October 18, 2020, Andy shares with us from 1 Corinthians 12: 12-26.  In this we see that every part of the Body of Christ matters, everyone one of us matter. We need the body and the body needs us. 

In our Friday reflections we look the Transfiguration.  In this passage, we see Jesus in His full glory.  Peter, James, and John get a glimpse of Jesus fully power, they get an awesome experience. But, they couldn't stay on the mountain forever, they had to come down.  We are the same. We need to have powerful experiences with God. But we've got to come down from the mountain and share what we've seen and heard.  

In our passage today we see Jonah come to see that God is going to bring mercy, even to Nineveh, when they repent.  God is a God who abounds in steadfast mercy and grace.  God is a God who loves to forgive His people.  Today, may we show the world His grace.  

Join us for Bible study as we talk about why and how we can read Scripture. Reading they bible can do more to grow our faith than nearly anything! 

In our reading today, we see Jesus feeding the 5,000.  What is interesting though is the reaction of the Disciples when Jesus tells them to feed them.  They can't do it.  Though earlier, they had done many great deeds. Why could they do it in one setting, but not in another?

In our reading today we see two people in desperate need of Jesus' power and healing.  We see Jarius and we see the woman who was ill and bleeding.  In their moment of great need and desperation, they turn to Jesus and they find what they need. So will we.  

In our Monday morning reflection, Andy shares with us from Acts 26:1-18.  This is one of the times in Acts when Paul shares his testimony.  Here it includes a neat line - he kicks against the goads.  What does that mean?  This was a very powerful truth for him, and for us!  

In our message from October 4, 2020, Andy shares with us from Hebrews 12: 1-3.  We are reminded that we are surrounded by a mighty cloud of witnesses.  We can run this race that is before us.  We have been faithful.  We will be faithful.

In our final look at scripture, we give a method of studying scripture called the SOAP method.  Scripture, Observation, application, and prayer.  Today we talk more about this and learn how it can help us better understand scripture.
