Pushing Through

January 20, 2013

Picking up on last week's theme, Pastor Andrew reminds us that our hope in God does not disappoint us, because God's love never fails us. We persevere, pushing through all trials and hardships because of the faith we have, and the reality that God, as the focus of our faith, is always good, solid, dependable, and sure.

The Tale of Three Temptations

February 26, 2012

During this first Sunday of Lent, we are sacrificing something meaningful in observance of the sacrifice of Christ. Pastor Andrew takes us back to the temptation Christ experienced in the wilderness. Like us, Jesus gave up meaningful things for 40 days in order to increase His dependence on the Father, culminating in the temptations Satan threw at him at his weakest moment. We explore these temptations in this message, and see how they apply to our lives today.
