Factory Church

Happiness and joy might sound like the same thing, but they could not be more different!

In this message, we are joined by Guest Speaker, Pastor Ian Montalto. As Pastor Ian interviews students about their experiences with God at summer camp, we are brought to one important truth: happiness can fade, but joy in Jesus is secure.

Gleaning from the life of David, Pastor Ian teaches us that our circumstances will always change and often fail us… But our joy can be secure when we place it in God! Hope will never be found within ourselves. Rather, it’s found in the moments when we remain faithful to God in adversity, and place our hope in the hands of Jesus.

Our God is a God of promises. But how do we unlock those promises in order to receive what He wants to give us?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through a powerful recap of Factory Church’s Serve Week. As we celebrate all the ways this house was able to serve and give back to the community, we come back to this powerful biblical truth: our giving unlocks God’s promise of blessing toward us!

Over and over again, the Bible tells us that we should never turn our backs on those in need. And neither should we be grieved when we give! Because for our faithfulness, God has promised and abundance of blessing to us in everything we put our hands to!

God stands watch over His Word to perform it… So we hold tight to His promise today that the more we love and serve the least of these, the more God will pour out a harvest of blessing on us! He has made the promise… Unlock it today!

God is powerful enough to perform massive miracles on His own… So why does He so often choose to involve us?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to a story most of us know very well—the feeding of the 5,000. And while many of us would say Jesus is the one who fed the crowd that day, a closer look shows us the truth… The DISCIPLES fed the crowd!

While Jesus performed the miracle of multiplying the loaves and fish, He handed off the miracle to the disciples so THEY could carry it to those around them. And nothing about that has changed today!

Jesus is still performing miracles in our lives every day for this one purpose: so we can carry them to others to bring hope, life, and freedom! Our miracles our not just our own… We’re meant to carry them to others!

Some moments require strength… Some require gentleness… But every moment requires discernment!

In this special Sabbath Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to a story we know very well: the woman caught in adultery in John 8. As we watch Jesus diffuse a tense situation with love, we become aware of this important truth: every interaction we engage in requires supernatural discernment on how to act!

Too many of us get lost in fighting battles that don’t matter, or not fighting for the things that do. As we find freedom and grow in the mind and character of Christ, it is our duty to use His holy discernment to know how to act in every situation.

So begin to exchange your mind for the mind of Christ! And let His discernment follow you into every interaction you have with those around you!

A little gratitude goes a long way… In fact, it changes EVERYTHING!

In this message, we are joined by guest speaker Pastor Kenny Mills! Pastor Kenny is a close friend and brother of this house, and he pulls us deep into James 2 and what it means to serve not only with your head and heart…but with your hands!

Too often we lose the wonder of salvation, and just what a GIFT we’ve been given in the resurrection of Jesus. But constant gratitude should be our response to God’s incredible generosity to us! So much so, that it should overflow into how we love and serve those around us!

So stop and take a look around! Look at all that God has given you and allowed you to be a part of… And then lift up a shout of, “Thank you!”

They say thankfulness can change your life… Turns out, it can change EVERYTHING!

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us on a deep dive of 1 Corinthians 1-2. As we explore the unsearchable wisdom of God, we learn that the Almighty has revealed His wisdom to us through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. And as we receive the Spirit of God, we receive the very mind of Christ!

We can’t seek God through human wisdom… But we can know His very thoughts toward us through the power of the Spirit!

Let us receive the mind of Christ today, so that every moment can be lived in a life of praise! A life of thankfulness! A life of alleluia!

We’ve been told too often to not get our hopes up… But scripture tells us having high hopes is exactly what we SHOULD be doing!

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to Pentecost and the moment God poured out the Holy Spirit on His church in Jerusalem. That influx of power, energy, excitement, and hope did not go unnoticed then… And neither does it go unnoticed now!

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit couldn’t remain locked in the upper room, nor can it remain locked inside of us today! As the Holy Spirit overflows out of each of us, we receive the assurance to come BOLDLY before the throne of God, with great confidence!

There’s no need to fear being in the presence of the Almighty when He’s given us the greatest gift… All He wants is our hearts in return!

In a world constantly vying for your attention, today’s most precious commodity is time.

In this message, Pastor Mike Griffin teaches us not only how precious our time is to our family and friends, but also how precious it is to God. Teaching from Luke 10, Pastor Mike shows us that while the gifts of food Martha gave to Jesus were valued, the gift of Mary’s time and attention at Christ’s feet was worth even more!

So while presents can be nice, the gift of your PRESENCE means so much more!

So take time to slow down and be present with those around you today, Factory! And above all, be present at the feet of Jesus!

How do we get back on track when the wind is knocked out of our sails?

We come BOLDLY before God’s throne!

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined by a daughter of this house, Chrissy Zittinger, who is embarking on a teaching mission to the country of Uganda. As we celebrate the mission Chrissy is setting off on, we also look at the missions God has given each of us.

Drawing from Joshua, Nehemiah, and Hebrews, Pastor Andy teaches us that God equips us for our missions through the power of His Word! And just as Chrissy is setting off with great courage, so can we come with courage before His throne when we are in need!

God has given us His Word as a means to learn, draw strength, be encouraged, and above all — know Him. So dive into his Word, Factory! And be filled with great courage and boldness!

Often we pray for God to help us see others how He sees them… But how often do we ask him to help us see OURSELVES through His eyes?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us that the power of the Church to love others begins with letting Jesus love us. Teaching from Peter’s restoration to Jesus in John 21 after having denied him, we learn that accepting the unconditional grace of Jesus is the launching point for loving and making a difference for those around us!

We cannot give until we first learn receive! And learning to love others begins with learning to love ourselves!

So receive His love and grace today, Factory! And pray for God to help you see yourself as He sees you: called, chosen, set apart, and LOVED!
