This week Pastor David A. Phelps fills in while Pastor Andrew is away. He speaks on something we all need to learn more about, prayer.

Luke 11:1-4

1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’  

This week Pastor Andrew talks about something we all experience, grief. But he continues the discussion by talking about something we all need - Hope! 

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

There are a few things that are certain in life. One of them is we will face dissapointments. Listen as Pastor Andrew talks about how the bible says we should face them.

Job 1:21-22

 21 And he said:

"Naked I came from my mother's womb,

And naked shall I return there.

The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;

Blessed be the name of the LORD."

22 In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.

Everyone of us has a choice to make each day. We get to choose our opportunities. Those opportunities to do good and follow the Lord. Pastor Andrew speaks this week on how we can take these opportunities. 

Galatians 6:10

10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Pastor Andrew speaks this week on something we all need to be doing and that is "Seeking God"

1 Chronicles 16:8-10

8 Oh, give thanks to the LORD!

Call upon His name;

Make known His deeds among the peoples!

9 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;

Talk of all His wondrous works!

10 Glory in His holy name;

Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD!

Easter is the greatest celebration in Christendom and it should be for this is a day where we celebrate life. Not only Jesus rising from the dead but because of this, we are no longer living in death, for Jesus came to bring us life and life more abuntantly! Listen as Pastor Andrew expounds on this.

29 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed

This week, Pastor Andrew talks about the promise of the changing seasons in his message, "Waiting for Spring"

Genesis 8:22

Seedtime and harvest,

Cold and heat,

Winter and summer,

And day and night

Shall not cease."
