  • Come...

    It's not uncommon for us to wait until we are in immense positions of need to call out to God. And sometimes, we get so buried that it feels like we are calling out to Him, but we can't seem to find Him. We get lost and we don't know where to turn.

    Join us as Andy Williamson leads us through the miracle of Jesus walking on water. It started with the disciples making their way across the Sea of Galilee in a small fishing boat. As they made their way back, a violent storm came out of nowhere, crippling the disciples with fear and anxiety. Jesus saw that they were afraid and decided to walk out to them – on top of the water and waves. The disciples thought they were seeing a spirit. It wasn't until Peter recognized that it was Jesus when he asked, "If it's really you, can I come out to you?"

    What a powerful question. Peter didn't ask, "If that's you, can you stop this storm that's about to drown us?" He didn't ask, "If that's you, can you lead us out of this storm that is making us so afraid?" No. He looked at Jesus and asked if he could step out into the deep and walk on the water, just as Jesus was doing.

    Jesus simply answered back, "Come." What a miracle of faith. And Jesus rewarded the faith of the disciples in a mighty way.

    You may be facing the impossible. It may seem like there are storms and challenges in your life that don’t add up. You are looking for a God to deliver you from these difficulties when all Jesus is asking you to do is "Come."

  • You're Not Alone

    No matter how good yesterday seemed, there will inevitably be an issue waiting for us tomorrow. No one is immune to it.

    Listen in as Andy Williamson teaches on how to deal with these challenges and how we aren't alone in feeling them. These feelings are normal and should be expected. Life will bring hardships and no one is exempt from them.

    Andy takes us on a journey through the eyes of the last great Old Testament Prophet, John, who was called the Baptist. John the Baptist was a powerful man, and Jesus himself said there was no man greater than John the Baptist. And still, there came a time in John's life where he was struck with doubt, frustration, and pain, all which ultimately led to his death by the hands of man.

    If this great man of God faced doubts and frustrations, why would we think ourselves immune to these issues?

    We learn in Matthew 11 how Jesus handled situations like these with grace and power. What's remarkable is that Jesus looks at each of us with the same grace and power as we go face the same exact challenges that John the Baptist faced.

    You’re not alone and you weren’t created to be alone. There’s a great God that is pursuing you and waiting on you right now! Will you answer His call?

  • Living Water

    Going through life can be monotonous. Listen in as Andy Williamson takes us through the journey of a woman who was simply going through her daily routine when she just happened to meet Jesus. It only took that one moment to cause her life to change forever!

    There is life-changing power when we lift up our heads and look to the One who created it all. Jesus showed great compassion towards this woman and her home city. Jesus knew that just to be seen with this woman and in her city was frowned upon in the Jewish culture, yet He still showed her compassion.

    This is just one instance where Jesus is able to move across social lines and impact people from all backgrounds and upbringings. He sets an example for us to follow where we can learn to both love and serve as He does.

    When we fully start to grasp this idea and love and serve as Jesus did, we find that His resources become our strength and energy. He wants more for us and He gave His life so that we can have more through Him. But above everything, He wants us to share this good news with others, just like giving a fresh glass of water to those who are suffering from thirst.

    No matter where we're at in life, God is ready to move for you, help you, cover you, and bring you great hope. We've been called to pass on this good news – it’s too great to keep it to ourselves!

  • Life In Clarity

    Living in Clarity means you’re living with great health and purpose! Life will inevitably challenge us, becoming messy and hectic. When this happens, we don’t see in clarity, which creates confusion and frustration.

    The good news is that we don’t have to live that way. God has a plan to cover us where we won’t have to live a life in bondage! Sin is what separates us from God. But Jesus...Oh what Savior we have in Him!



    Andy Williamson leads us through the most amazing truth about God‘s plans for us. Through Jesus and His work on the cross, we are justified in front of Almighty God. And with that justification, we are reconciled to a perfect relationship with Him!

    What life. What clarity!

  • Slavery Was Never An Option

    It's not uncommon for us to get enslaved by things throughout our lives. We get caught up in routines and overwhelmed by the stress that tends to weigh us down. When we're in that spot, it's tough to break free and leave things in our rearview mirror.

    Andy Williamson helps us understand how God sees us and how He has purposefully made us in His image. God has set each of us on a unique journey in life, equipping us along the way for the exact moments that He will use us.

    God is actively pursuing us. He didn’t come to enslave us to rules, religion, or to things that make us feel like robots, repeating the same tasks day after day.

    Instead, God desires to be close to us and to see us living in hope and harmony with Him and with one another. God will meet us right where we're at in life. The great thing is that He loves us so much He won’t leave us where He found us!

  • Eat Then Feed

    We know from the Bible that God has a strong desire for us to live healthy and full lives. Many times, we feel disconnected or defeated, only to then experience the great victories in life that we love. We innately want to have more of these victories!

    We go through ebbs and flows in our life. These moments are what define our story and our journey. But no matter if you're on an ebb or flow, the amazing thing is that God loves us right where we are thanks to His son, Jesus.

    This is a major blessing! And one that we should recognize and look for ways to make an impact and difference in our world. So, how do we do that?

    Well, we invest ourselves in and eat from God's Word. We feast on His goodness and then we share it with people as we move through the world. Our world needs support and encouragement, and we have a unique and amazing opportunity to reach others and make an impact.

  • I Have Jesus For This

    Fathers are a blessing to all of us. If we take time to listen to our fathers, we'll realize that they're often filled with wisdom, encouragement, and even a funny story along the way. We had the amazing opportunity to have both Andy Williamson and his father, Pastor Jerry Williamson on stage teaching together this Father's Day. Andy took this time to focus on three main items that his dad has taught him over the years, and both Andy and Pastor Williamson taught on these topics.

    1. Wisdom: Knowing one's self, knowing one's God, and knowing one's neighbor.

    2. Conflict resolution: How to operate in harmony with others.

    3. Pulling on His Substance: I have Jesus For This.

    We find great value in seeking out the wisdom that God provides for us. By being eager and relying on Him, our eyes will be opened to what our calling is and we'll learn how to serve through leadership and how to love through the eyes of our great Father in Heaven.

    Listen in as a father and son share their love, respect, and admiration for one another throughout this special service. You'll find a love that goes far beyond that of a father and a son, but one that can only be created and sustained by God.

  • Life Is Like A Balloon

    Your life can take many twists and turns and there's no telling what the next surprise may be. Just like balloons over time, the life can be popped and zapped right out of you. You can lose your air – the things that once brought you joy – and you'll find yourself in a difficult situation.

    This was a special service for us as celebrated a birthday, which always brings a good bit of fun – and balloons!

    Andy Williamson takes us through Ephesians 1 and 2 and shows the absolute love that God has willingly given us through redemption.

    Often times, we find ourselves putting boundaries and stipulations on life and our relationships, including our relationship with God. But what you don't realize is that these stipulations don't change the way God feels about you. He loves you and accepts you for who you are all the same!

    Andy shows us how we tend to put these stipulations on our lives, but as we see in Ephesians 2, God has already overcome your stipulations and paid it all!

  • What If?!

    Do you get bogged down or overwhelmed? Do you feel like you're working off of a partial charge and not to your fullest potential? Life is constantly tossing curveballs, distracting us from the fact that Jesus came to bring us great victory and life!

    Andy Williamson leads us through Luke 7, which exemplifies the great freedom that we have through Jesus. This chapter shows us the true character of our Almighty God and how He consistently pursues us no matter what we are facing in life.

    God doesn't want us to live broken lives. He wants to give us life through Him! Sin is only a problem if there is no answer for it. But there is an answer through the cross. By walking out of the grave, Jesus brought us incredible life, hope, and freedom – the truest form of freedom that no man can take away from us.

    So, what if we were in the way? What if we could be powerful and full of life, hope, and joy? Would you be interested? It's closer than you think...

  • The Commander Gets… What The Commander Wants…. Sometimes!

    Commanders have a reputation of being great leaders. But often times, they only get what they want by demanding it.

    Listen in as Andy Williamson takes us through the journey of two commanders in the Bible. Both are men of notoriety and beloved by those around them. However, these commanders needed the provision of God to help them in their times of great need, and they each approached God with their needs in vastly different ways.

    One commander approached these needs with a stubborn, selfish attitude and wanted things his way and only his way. And when things didn’t go his way, he was willing to throw it all away and walk away from the miracles that God had been providing him.

    The other commander was selfless and humbled at the thought of Jesus even being willing to help him.

    While both of the commanders received the miracles they desired, each came with unique experiences and twists in their journey.

    But what if…what if, like the first commander, we demand things and get frustrated when things don’t go our way? What if our selfishness is in the way of God’s miracles in our lives? What if He is actively working for us, but we don't get to experience His miracles because we put blinders on?

    He is for us. Not against us.
