Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Communion - Remember Me | Communion is not just a religious symbol that you take to affirm membership in a group. We remember deliverance. We remember what He has done.

Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Growing Deep - Silent Night | We are likely to embrace a new beginning and all the hope of what beginnings hold. However, it's equally important to embrace a healthy ending so that we don't carry baggage around from not ending something well.

Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Growing Deep - Silent Night | A common idea is that our peace is stolen away from us in the pressures of life. In reality, we often give it away in exchange for what we believe are certainty over faith. However, as followers of Jesus, our peace always comes from God, not our circumstances.

Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Growing Deep - Silent Night | We rest because God is at work. Every week, every day actually. We need a reminder that our day begins with God, not with our activity. The birth of Jesus is a message of God With Us, God at work among us. We can rest in Him.

Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Growing Deep - Silent Night | Slowing down to be with God is at the heart of what God did for us in giving us Jesus. Emmanuel, God with us, is how God communicates that being with us is His Priority. He can 'do' things for us, but his heart is to 'be' present with us.

Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Growing Deep - Silent Night | This week Pastor Andy continues to talk about rest and what it looks like to slow down.

Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Growing Deep - Silent Night | Lost in the shuffle of Jesus' teaching is the example of slowing down to be with the Father. It's out of our being WITH Jesus that our doing FOR Jesus can be fulfilled. Slowing Down our pace and taking time to cease from our activity is critical to understanding how to go deeper in discipleship.

Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Growing Deep - Beneath the Surface | There are three main areas to focus on when going beneath the surface in our discipleship; Facing our past without living in it, Growing through grief and loss, Living in transparency and humility. these three, coupled with grace, move us toward a deeper discipleship with Christ.

Speaker: Andy Lovelace | Series: Growing Deep - Beneath the Surface | When we define blessings to narrowly, we miss out on the different ways that we can experience God. In the teachings of Jesus known as the Beatitudes, we discover that there is a variety of ways we can experience God's blessing, and most require admitting we're needy.
