Factory Church

It’s often in our lowest moments when we take a look around and ask ourselves, “How did I get here?”

It turns out God asks us the same question.

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches from 1 Kings 16 and the testimony of Elijah’s triumph over Ahab and the prophets of Baal. And though God showed up in a mighty way in Elijah’s defense on Mount Carmel, Elijah’s heart was still gripped with fear following the threats of Jezebel on his life.

Finding him alone and hiding in a cave, God asks Elijah the question, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

Just as Elijah allowed himself to become prisoner of the fear he created in his heart, so do we become prisoners of what we create. Whether it’s fear, shame, isolation, guilt, or hurt, we allow ourselves to be bound by it.

But there is hope! Just as we can be bound by the negative, we can also become prisoners to the great POWER and HOPE we have in Jesus! Whatever rules your heart rules you… But you have the choice: be a prisoner to fear and shame…or be a prisoner to future, hope, and LOVE!

The choice is yours.

In the final hours before His crucifixion, Christ found himself alone, cursed, and abandoned by those who were supposed to love Him most… And yet, it was the very people who abandoned Him that He went out of His way to pursue after His resurrection!

In this Baptism Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to the shore of the Sea of Galilee. As the dejected disciples try in vain to bring in a catch, Jesus shows up in the most miraculous fashion, and recreates a miracle from when He first called them to follow Him!

Even though the disciples abandoned Jesus in His hour of need, we need NEVER fear Christ doing the same thing to us. There is NO record of sin against us in His presence! He pursues us with a wild love and grace we’ll never understand!

And just as He chased after His disciples in love, so is He chasing after you today… And He always will!

When God is the room…there is always hope.

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson sits down for a conversation with Casey Johnson, talking all things Factory, all things hope, and all things being prepared for the moment when the Savior walks in the room!

So don’t let the moment pass you by… When Jesus walks in your room, He wants to bring healing, hope, and joy to your spirit! All it takes is faith… All it takes is trust… And you can be ready for a miracle!

Sometimes in life, the promise of a scripture grips our hearts and doesn’t let go.

In this message, Factory Church is joined by not one, but FOUR Factory pastors, as well as guest speaker, Casey Johnson, for a round table discussion like no other. As each of these pastors share the testimonies and passages of scripture that have assured them, encouraged them, and carried them through life’s toughest battles, we are given the gift of faith overflowing!

May these words be a reminder that Christ’s mercies will never reach an end. They are new every morning, and they are meant for YOU. He who has done great things before will do them again… For He is still on the throne! And He’s still in love with YOU!

Little things are little things… Until they become big things.

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through Judges 5 and the repeated pattern of the children of Israel turning away from God before crying out for deliverance. Because one doesn’t fall out of love with the Savior right away, how is it possible for the Israelites to have done it so often?

Because all it takes is allowing little things to create VAST distance over time!

So today we RESET and RENEW our love for the Savior who paid it all! Who gave His life to deliver us from sin! We close the gap and allow the Savior to pull us closer than ever.

And as we do, we will receive His prophetic blessing of rising like the sun in all its power!

We’ve often heard the phrase “Make room for God”. But have we ever considered that God is making room for us?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson celebrates Factory’s fifth birthday by reminding us about the heart of who Jesus is, and consequently, the heart of who Factory is. Drawing from three separate accounts of Christ’s faithfulness toward the marginalized, broken, and forgotten, Pastor Andy teaches us that whereas religion tries to force you out, the love of Jesus pulls you in!

Factory finds it’s calling in the way our Savior makes room at the table for EVERYONE. No matter your circumstances, no matter you past or your background, Jesus is making room for YOU! And you can claim freedom in Him today!

God wants to pour out His blessing on us… But only those who trust and MOVE in faith will receive it!

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson take us back to Judges 4 and the account of Israel’s delivery from Sisera in the time of Deborah the prophet. While all the Israelites may have wanted to claim God’s blessing after being delivered, scripture is clear that those who didn’t join the fight would not receive the blessing… Only those who gave themselves to the fight would claim it!

And the same is true today! Faith is not a spectator sport. We are called to join the action and take ground against the enemy! And we are promised that when we do, we will rise like the sun in all its power!

Factory has gone through a four-part series focusing on how God wants us to operate as believers: “Big, Strong, Fast, And…”

Today, we continue to learn more about how our lives are anchored on this one word: FAITHFULNESS!

Drawing from the book of Judges, Pastor Andy Williamson shows us that God’s faithfulness to us is found only in closeness to Jesus… And it is meant to bring us VICTORY!

Our Savior is WITH us in the battle, if we’d only draw close to Him and allow Him to go before us! In His name, we receive the supernatural power that belongs to Him. With Christ, our victory is assured! For He has already won the war!

Factory has gone through a three-part message focusing on how God wants us to operate as believers: “Big, Strong, Fast, And…”

Today, we learn that all of these descriptions rest on one word and attribute of God: FAITHFUL!

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us that our call to be faithful is not without a model… Rather, God shows us again and again through His Word just how He expresses His faithfulness to us, and how we are to model our faithfulness back toward Him and toward one another!

His faithfulness builds confidence, strength, and hope inside us as He draws us near to Him. And as we draw close, we receive all that God wants to do in and through us!

So this is your call, Church. Draw close. Receive His faithfulness and grace. Then, we will overflow into one another and take ground for the Kingdom!

When you’re preparing for a fight, the last thing you want to be is weighed down. But how many of us walk around with the heavy burden of unforgiveness every day?

In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us into the third part of our series, “Big, Strong, Fast, and…” As we dive into how to be FAST in our fight against the enemy, Pastor Andy teaches us that the burdens of bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness will never hurt those who’ve wronged us… They will only hurt ourselves.

Whether we hold resentment toward others, or we’re struggling to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, the weight of unforgiveness slows us down. It’s only in learning to give and receive forgiveness that we shed the weight that binds us as we fight against the enemy!

So what grudges are you holding in your heart today? What shames keeps you from forgiving yourself? It’s time to release the unforgiveness in your heart and live the life of fullness God created you to enjoy!
