newLife Astoria's Sermon of the Week

*Preaching begins at 31:39*

Have you ever said "yes" to something before you knew what you were saying "yes" to and lived to regret it? Faith really is risky or so we will learn.

*Preaching begins at 27:42*

Today, we will learn how to be rooted and grounded in God's love.

*Preaching begins at 36:10*

There was a day when parents in my childhood neighborhood would all perform a cleansing routine not acceptable in 2023. When a child would use words deemed inappropriate by society, they would cleanse the mouth of said dirty words by applying Dial soap to the area of filth. This was not only performed by my own parents, but if I was caught by other parents, they had permission to perform the cleansing routine on me as well. To this day I refuse to use Dial soap out of fear it might trigger past trauma, though it did change me. (Pastor Andy)

The greatest mistake mankind can make is to live as if there is no God.

*Preaching begins at 31:33*

Man often neglects to acknowledge that while we live under human authority, God is the true authority. We live as if God is distant or distracted instead of fully devoted to our world. Yet while the world turns, God rules and reigns from His throne on high. Another lesson from Isaiah 6:1.

*Preaching begins at 34:12*

Man believes that success, popularity, and power is often due to the abilities of the human, but the truth is, even man's great achievements are really God's. This week, we will look at the life of King Uzziah in Isaiah 6:1 to see this truth about God's place in our lives. If you want to prepare, read 2 Chronicles 26 & 28 and 2 Kings 15:1-7 (Azariah is another name for Uzziah).

*Preaching begins at 26:34*

Familiarity can lead us straight into danger. Isaiah 5:8-23 is God yelling to get our attention and a warning to save us from our own reckless behaviors!

*Preaching begins at 27:55*

Here's the question: why do we resist the real work of God and instead settle for the religious work of faith? (Isaiah 5:5-6)

*Preaching begins at 26:56*

The Word of God is not always sweet. Sometimes it's bitter, but you've got to taste it to see. Take a risk and take a bite (Isaiah 5:1-7).

"And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. ~Revelations 10:10 (ESV)
