Gardening has become a big activity during this pandemic as many people have decided to grow more of their own food. One thing is certain that without seeds, you have no garden. In the Kingdom of God you have a similar situation but the seed is the Word of God. Listen as Pastor Andrew tells up about how important it is to plant those kind of seeds.

1 Corinthians 3: 6 

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

This week Pastor Andrew takes a look at milestones, all through our lives we have them and try to remember them because we need to keep in mind what the lord has done for us.

Joshua 4:7

7 Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.”

This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that we can be calm even in the middle of a storm. Listen and learn how to weather the storm we are all traveling through!

 

Mark 4:38-40

38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”

"Run in such a way that you may win" (1 Cor 9:24 NASB) We are all in a race one that Pastor Andrew calls the "Amazing Race." As Paul says above, we should run to win! Listen as Pastor Andrew tells you how to win this race of your life!

 

Hebrews 12:1

 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

"Let the children come unto Me" was what Jesus said. In that same scripture in Mark 10 He made it clear that we need "childlike faith" to enter the Kingdom. Listen as this week Pastor Andrew talks about that kind of faith.

 

Psalm 75: 5-6

5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD;

You are my trust from my youth.

6 By You I have been upheld from birth;

You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.

My praise shall be continually of You.

Joshua 24:15 says "Choose this day whom you will serve" God has given us choices in our lives and he gave us the free will to make those choices.

Pastor Andrew talks about our faith this week and how it should be the foundation of our personal lives as well as our church life.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

"May you live in interesting times" is an English expression that purports to be atranslation of a traditional Chinese curse. While seemingly a blessing, theexpression is normally used ironically; life is better in uninteresting times ofpeace and tranquility than in interesting ones, which are usually times oftrouble. Listen as Pastor Andrew talks about these interesting times.
