Andy Talks

In our Tuesday reflections, we start our look at Scripture as a "bookshelf."  We'll start our shelf by placing our first books on there, the Torah, or the books of Moses. These books are very important in understanding the Old Testament and all of Scripture.

In the next two weeks in our reflections, we are going to be looking at what is sometimes called "the shelves."  How is scripture organized?  How does it all fit together?  We'll look at the Bible the next few weeks as a bookshelf as we seek to understand it better.

In our message from Sunday, Andy shares from Joshua 2: 1-21.  In this passage, we look at Rahab. We see that her faith motivated her to take bold action of faith.  Today, what does our faith cause us to do? 

In today's reading, we see a charge leveled against the Christians. They turned the world upside down. What a powerful thing to have had said against you. The world was not the same because of them.  May they say the same thing about us today! 

In our reading today, we see Paul and Silas in prison, when something amazing happens.  How they handle this changes their lives as well as the lives of all the folks around them.  They live in such a way that folks get saved.  That should be our mission as well.  

In our weekly study, we continue looking at the Eight Life Enriching Practices of United Methodists.  The next few weeks we are going to look at some Methodist distinctive.  Tonight we'll look look at the Wesleyan Quadrilateral. This is how we do our reflection.  We start with Scripture and we add to it, Tradition, Reason, and Experience. What this mean and look like?  Join us and learn more.  

In our reading today, we see Jesus share with us some controversial words.  We must hate our lives.  What does this mean?  What could He be talking about? Join us as we go a little deeper today.

In our reading today from Job we look at God's continued response to Job.  We see that God tells Job about all the great things that He has done.  What does this mean to the living of our faith today? 

Today we look at Number 21: 4-9.  Moses lifts high the image of the serpent, and all who are bitten by the snakes are saved.  What does this tell us about grace, the cross, and Gods' redemptive power?  

In his Sunday sermon from September 13, 2020 Andy look at Exodus 32: 7-14. In this passage we see Moses and God having a conversation where Moses changes God's mind. What exactly is happening here?  And what can this tells us about our faith today?
