In this Sundayâs message, Pastor Andrew preaches from Song of Solomon 2:8â13 on the call of the Bridegroom to His bride: âRise up, My love, My fair one, and come away.â
The Song of Solomon may seem like just a love story between a man and a woman, but Paul reminds us: âfirst the natural, then the spiritualâ (1 Corinthians 15:46). Spiritually, this passage paints a powerful picture of Christ and His church. Just as the Bridegroom calls His bride, Jesus is calling His people today into intimacy with Him.
In this message, Pastor Andrew challenges us with three calls:
1ď¸âŁ Come away from the world â We cannot cling to the world and still pursue the presence of Christ.
2ď¸âŁ Come away from religion â God is after relationship, not ritual.
3ď¸âŁ Come away to the secret place â Beyond separation, Christ invites us into deep intimacy with Him.
The season is changing. Winter is past. Flowers are appearing. The voice of the Beloved is calling: âRise up, My love, and come away.â
đ Key Scriptures:
Song of Solomon 2:8â14
Isaiah 6:1â5
Romans 6:1â2
1 John 2:15â17
2 Corinthians 6:17
Matthew 6:6
Psalm 91:1
đ Whether youâre seeking renewal in your walk with Christ, healing in your marriage, or simply longing for more of His presence, this word is for you. The Bridegroom is callingâwill you answer?
Shady Grove Church â Study in Romans
The book of Romans is one of the richest, most powerful, and most theologically profound letters in all of Scripture. Written by the Apostle Paul around A.D. 56, Romans provides a clear and orderly presentation of the gospel messageâshowing that both Jews and Gentiles alike are in need of salvation, and that justification comes by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
In this video, Pastor Andrew walks through Romans chapter 2 and the beginning of chapter 3, where Paul addresses both Jews and Gentiles, showing that all are accountable before God. Having the Law is not enoughâwhat matters is true righteousness, which comes only through faith in Christ.
Together, weâll explore:
Godâs impartial judgment of Jews and Gentiles alike (Romans 2:1â29)
Why outward religion or heritage cannot save us
How all humanity is guilty before God (Romans 3:1â12)
The good news that justification is by faith, not by works
Weâll also draw personal application from Paulâs message, including:
â
Trusting Christ alone for salvation
â
Rejecting self-righteousness
â
Understanding Godâs righteous judgment
â
Rejoicing in the gospel that saves both Jew and Gentile
Romans is more than theologyâitâs the gospel applied to everyday life. Join us as we dive deep into this life-changing book and discover the righteousness of God revealed through faith in Christ.
đ Rivers of Revival | Isaiah 35:1â10 đ
Â
(Apologies that the beginning of this sermon starts abruptly)
In this powerful message, Pastor shares from Isaiah 35 about Godâs promise of restoration, joy, and revival. While Isaiah spoke prophetically of Christâs future reign, these promises arenât just for tomorrowâthey are available to us today through Jesus Christ!
Â
đ§ The desert shall blossom.
đ§ The weak will be strengthened.
đ§ Streams will burst forth in the wilderness.
đ§ The redeemed will walk on the Highway of Holiness.
Â
This sermon is a call for the Church to rise up, stand strong, and walk in the victory Christ has already given us. Itâs time to strengthen weak hands, firm up feeble knees, and allow the Spirit of God to bring rivers of revival into our lives, our families, and our churchesâright here, right now.
