newLife Astoria's Sermon of the Week

*Preaching begins at 40:00*

Joseph's life wasn't ideal. His whole life he went from favor and blessing to being thrown into pits. We're going to walk through three different pits Joseph gets into and how faith put him there every time. Joseph shows us what faith in God really looks like. How can you trust God in the season you're in?

*Preaching begins at 40:50*

Abraham is known for his growing faith; though he stumbled at times, he held onto the promises of God. Abraham simply obeyed what God said and his obedience led to faith. You see it not in his words, but in his actions towards God. His life is a beautiful example of how to obey the word of God and respond to the Holy Spirit. The writer of Romans gave him a great compliment: he believed in God's promises and it was counted to him as righteousness.

Noah's friends thought he was crazy for preaching about a flood and building an ark when the earth as yet had never experienced rain. Yet Noah had faith when no one else did, and this made Noah's faith stand out. What is God calling you to do in radical obedience to Him that might separate you from others?

What does it mean to have faith? For those mentioned in Hebrews Chapter 11, there were people who walked with God and demonstrated their faith by acts of courage. Despite their human imperfections, they won against great odds because they believed in a great God. If God can use them, HE CAN USE YOU, if you have the faith!

One of the most exciting movies I've watched in a theater was "Cliff Hanger" with Sylvester Stallone; especially the part where he's holding onto his friend's girlfriend, who falls to her death because of her inexperience and fear. When the experienced climber says to hang on and trust him, it's often hard for the inexperience to do so. This Sunday, I want to extend the series with simple teaching on how to hold on when your trauma becomes terror. ~Pastor Andy Roberts

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." ~Helen Keller

I got hurt and lost hope. This is the truth of trauma. Let's talk and, if you can, bring your broken friends.

Nehemiah caught a vision that led to a prayer. Prayer led to a miracle that changed a king's heart. Our prayers are just as powerful.

As devoted apprentices of Jesus Christ, we are welcomed into the Kingdom of God. One critical aspect of that kingdom is curiosity and counsel. We're going to dive into both today!
