Andy Talks

In his sermon from August 23, Andy shares with us from Abraham's life as found in Genesis 18: 1-15.  At time when he was tired and exhausted, God sent to him revival.  He will do the same for us.  

In our Friday time together, we look at Cokesbury hymn 207.  This beautiful hymn tells us that there will come a day with no more labor, no more pain, no more hurt, not more loss.  No more clouds.  Let's remember today that this world is not our home.  

Today in our journey with the Cokesbury, we look at an old favorite of many of ours, Brining in the Sheaves, number 165.  This is a beautiful song that paints the Christian life as one of faithful labor in the field.  But we will reap in time! 

As we continue with our week in the Cokesbury hymnal, today we look at hymn 141, The Way of the Cross Leads Home.  This hymn reminds us that it is through the blood of the cross that we are forgiven and that we are able to return to our home with God. 

Today we look at hymn 100 in the Cokesbury, Let the Lower Lights be Burning.  This hymns paints a powerful picture of God's grace and mercy as a lighthouse, callings sailors to the shore.  We, though tend that that light.  

This week we are going to look at different hymns from the old Cokesbury hymnal.  To we look at one of Andy's favorites, number 177.  It is entitled "Others" and shows us a beautiful way forward for living life.  

In his sermon, Andy looks at Noah's story, as found in Genesis 6 and 7.  We see God call Noah. And then he waited. What did Noah do as he waiting on the rain? 

In our reading today we see that Jesus passed by His hometown because they could not hear the truth from Him.  Today, don't let someone's criticism of you affect your faithfulness, and be sure to listen for all the ways that God may want to speak to you. 

Today we see many Samaritans come to believe in Jesus, not just because of the women's word, but because they have heard for themselves.  Do we tell others?  Do we hear ourselves?  

Join us as we look deeper at the end of James 5!
