This week Pastor Andrew talks about what we focus on. In this day and age, there are so many distractions, learn how to focus on what is important.

Luke 10: 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

How is your life right now? Is it what Timothy calls "Quiet & Peaceful"? That almost seems impossible in today's world and yet Jesus was able to sleep right though a huge storm and then calm it. It's almost as if the peace resided in Him, not something from outside. Listen as Pastor Andrew talks about how you how you can have that peace even in turbulent times.

1 Timothy 2:1-2

 1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence

This week pastor Andrew talks about a twist on the traditional way to remember to set the clocks ahead or back - Spring Forward and Fall Back. But the bible always instructs us to fall forward or "press on" no matter the circumstances. This is a very relevant lesson with all that's happening in our world today.

This week pastor Andrew talks about what God is doing behind the scenes all though the bible and in our lives. Its pretty amazing when you see what he has done and is doing.

Galatians 4:4-5

4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

This week Pastor Andrew talks about what love is. This is a appropriate topic on Valentines day. Most don't know that The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honor of Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269. So it's not just a "Hallmark Holiday". And since Jesus said "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." And since Saint Valentine was a martyr for his faith and for helping others, it seems to be an appropriate example of this love that Jesus spoke of.

John 15:17

 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.

This week Pastor Andrew continued his message about "What's in a Name" which as he said last week that the word name in the Greek and Hebrew means character, honor and authority, and the bible says a good name is more to be desired than riches. Listen as he continues teaching us about the importance of a good name.

Romans 1:7

This week Pastor Andrew talks on the importance of a good name and God promises us a new name. In Rev 2:17 God promises us "To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no on knows except him who receives it.” Listen and learn the importance of what is in a name!

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,

Loving favor rather than silver and gold.

We all have traditions in our lives and families. This week Pastor Andrew will talk about how we need to be careful if our traditions don't line up with God's Word.

1 Corinthians 11:1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

This week Pastor Andrew talks about submitting to God. We usually think about submitting as giving up our freedom but with God, true freedom begins with submission. Listen and learn more about this important topic.

James 4:6-7 

6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:

“God resists the proud,

But gives grace to the humble.”

This week Pastor Andrew talks about trusting God. Learn more about how God is always with us and is trustworthy.

Psalm 46:1-2

 46 God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,
