Joshua said “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord “ (Josh 24:15). This week Pastor Andrew reminded us how important it is to take a stance to follow God!

1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

We are reminded about how we need to prepare our hearts to receive the seed of God’s word

Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness;

Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground,

For it is time to seek the Lord,

Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.

Jesus says “you are the light of the world”, and “you are the salt of the earth” pastor Andrew reminds us that we need to live like that!

1 John 2:3-6

 3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

What comes out of your mouth can have a major effect on those around you. Pastor Andrew reminds us to guard that what you say and be sure it is “helpful for building others up”.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,

And those who love it will eat its fruit.

As we have seen in our country and in the world, there is a price we all pay for following our Lord Jesus Christ!

Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it

Faith is the substance of things hoped for according to Hebrews Pastor Andrew reminds us that we need to have an enduring Hope.

Romans 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

This week, Pastor Andrew reminded us of the one thing that God has called us to do the one thing that will make a difference in this world… Love!

John 13:34

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

This week, Pastor Andrew teaches us and how we can be a blessing to those around us.

Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that even in the crazy times we can find rest in the Lord

Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the Lord:

“Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it;

Then you will find rest for your souls.

But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

This week, Pastor Andrew reminds us that God has given each one of us gifts that are unique to us.

Proverbs 18:16

A man’s gift makes room for him And brings him before great men.
