Factory Church

Building the Kingdom starts with sowing seeds… And what better place to sow seeds than into the next generation?

In this message, we get to see the sowing and reaping that occurred on Factory Youth’s summer camp in Atlanta. Through powerful testimonies of decisions made for Jesus, we get to witness the next generation of believers take up arms for the Kingdom of God!

The faith is alive and well in the hearts of our youth!

In this Sabbath Sunday message, Pastor Andy takes us through Galatians 6 and teaches us how we can sew our summer seeds of: New Heart. New Hope. New Vision. New Courage. New Action.

But to be able to sew these seeds and love others well, we must be not only a friend of God, but a friend to ourselves. Galatians 5:14 says, "For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" We must first love ourselves and what God has created us to be to be able to share that love with others around us.

So as we go throughout our summer and our sewing these seeds, let us remember that through HIM we are given a new heart, which produces a new hope in us, and through that He gives us new vision to have new courage to be able to take new action for His Kingdom!

Who better to teach us to be a friend of God than Jesus’ own brother?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to the book of James in order to learn what becoming a friend of God looks like. Through James’ own journey of unbelief, to apostle, to leader of the first century church, Pastor Andy shows us that becoming a friend of God doesn’t end with hearing God’s word, but in living it out.

Though we are not saved by our works, good works are the fruit of a genuine relationship with our Savior. The difference between going to church and BEING the church begins when we decide to live out what God has called us to.

So as we become friends of God, may we never tire of serving our God and living out the full and selfless lives He has called us to!

The grind isn’t always fun. But it’s important.

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined by his dad, Pastor Jerry Williamson, and friend, Toby Foreman of Haerfest Coffee Roasting Co, for a conversation on the power of potential. Through the conduit of a cup of coffee, these three men teach us to not look at things the way they are, but rather, at the potential of what they can be.

Just as a coffee bean must change to reach its fullest potential, so are we refined by the journey of life. Christ isn’t going to leave us how He found us… He’s going to turn us into what we’re meant to be!

Words have the power to hurt…but also to heal.

In this message we are joined by Guest Speaker, Dr. Joel Johnson. Pastor Joel takes us on a deep dive into not just what the Bible says about the power of words, but what science can now verify about to power of prayer and spoken words over people and things.

The Bible has long taught us that the tongue is sharper than any sword… And as we learn more about words’ power to build or destroy, it’s our hope to use words to bring life!

It only matters what God thinks about us!

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson addresses something many of us are familiar with: feeling unqualified. Drawing from his own experiences, as well as those of the 120 disciples in the upper room, Pastor Andy shows us how time and again God uses people whom the world sees as unqualified, but whom He sees as CHOSEN. 

Pastor Andy reminds us that when we humble ourselves before the Lord, He will use us in amazing and unimaginable ways. And with His strength, we will be able to resist the enemy and build the Kingdom for God’s glory.

He calls us qualified!

In this special Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson brings us to the conclusion our “Journey to the Upper Room”.

Focusing on God’s promises for the believer, Pastor Andy shows us that immeasurable life and power is still available to us today through the power of the Holy Spirit. And once filled with that power, Pastor Andy teaches us how we are to steward it to love our fellow man.

Just as the disciples in the upper room were called to minister to their generation, so are we being equipped to take the Good News to the world we live in now. We can’t pass the baton to anyone else… It has to be us. Because if it’s not us, then whom?

How you see HIM Matters…

In part five of our series, Pastor Andy takes us through Pre-Pentecost, identifying some trends happening with the events and people that are leading us to the Upper Room. During this part of our Journey To The Upper Room, Pastor Andy shows us how the disciples and others were scared by religion, circumstances, and other world powers when Jesus is arrested, beaten and killed. These disciples were not world-changers by any means.

We are given these accounts to show that it’s absolutely impossible for a person to live the Christian life through our own human strength. The Christian life FULLY depends upon the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.

The promise of the Holy Spirit is for us TODAY! But we must make the choice ourselves to just be near the room, or whether we want to fully receive the power of the Holy Spirit! We must pray for the filling of the Spirit!

Are you willing to make the choices necessary to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit?

In this special Mother’s Day message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues leading us on our “Journey to the Upper Room”. He teaches us about the beautiful relationship Jesus had with His mother, Mary, and how that relationship connects to the experience in upper room…

As Mary waited with the disciples for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, she held fast to the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit she had experienced as a young girl… The same empowerment that gave her the courage to stand by and love on the very disciples who abandoned her Son in His hour of need.

The Holy Spirit is ready to free you from all hurt and bitterness, and equip you to do miraculous things through His power. Make room for Him today!

You can’t be filled the new if you won’t empty out the old…

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson leads us into the next chapter of our “Journey to the Upper Room”. As we dive further into the events of Pentecost, we must ask ourselves this question: why did Jesus wait 10 days after leaving before sending the Holy Spirit to the disciples?

The answer is simple: because they could not be filled with the Holy Spirit until they were empty of themselves.

The emptier we are, the more useful we become as instruments of God! As we rid ourselves of our ego, our selfish desires, and our preconceived ideas, we find that we make room for the Holy Spirit to inhabit our hearts and empower our lives. 

The Spirit is ready to pour himself out… Will we make room for Him?
