This week pastor Andrew reminds us that “no man knows the hour”

Mark 13:35-36 

35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.

This week, Pastor Andrew reminds us that God is looking for those who are humble.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the High and Lofty One

Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place,
With him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
To revive the spirit of the humble,

And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Sometimes we need to just read the instructions! God created us and gave us a “manufacturer’s handbook” (The Bible) on how to live. As Pastor Andrew reminds us…“follow the directions!”

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that obtaining wisdom from God, should be one of our greatest goals.

Job 28:12 “But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

Sometimes it is easy to believe, do we act on what we believe? Pastor Andrew reminds us that there is belief, and there is action, we need to do both.

2 Corinthians 4:13  And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,

Last week, Pastor Andrew reminded us that if we look, we will see God everywhere and in everything.

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.

This week, Pastor Andrew reminds us that God gives us detailed instructions for our lives. We need to pay attention to those instructions.

Deuteronomy 4:5-6 

5 “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. 6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’

This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that we all have influence in some area of our lives. We should always try to use that influence for good and to advance God’s kingdom.

Jude 20-23  20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction; 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

Jesus said “when you pray…” not “if”

Philippians 4:6-7

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Pastor Andrew reminds us that the Word of God is life. We need to learn to live.

2 Peter 1:5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,
