    Reflections with Andy - John 17: 20-24 – Make Us One

    In this final standalone reflection before beginning a new Bible study series, Andy reflects on Jesus' High Priestly Prayer in John 17:20–24, where Jesus prays not only for His first disciples but for everyone who would one day believe—including us. Exploring the difference between unity and uniformity, this episode considers why Christian unity is so difficult, why it matters so deeply to Jesus, and how only the Holy Spirit can shape us into a people who truly love one another. As we celebrate Independence Day and prepare for a new season together, we're reminded that one of the Church's greatest witnesses is not that we all think alike, but that we love alike.

    Reflections with Andy - Zephaniah 3: 14-18 – God’s Song

    In today's reflection, we turn to Zephaniah 3:14–18 and one of the most beautiful images in all of Scripture: a God who rejoices over His people with singing. Together we'll explore what it means to be loved by God, why the prophets continue to speak hope into seasons of uncertainty, and how our understanding of ourselves changes when we remember that the Bible begins not with humanity's failure, but with God's declaration that His creation is "very good." This reflection offers an encouraging reminder that God's grace is greater than our past, His love is constant, and every new day is an opportunity to hear His voice calling us His beloved.

    Reflections with Andy - Isaiah 43: 18-21 – Something New

    Today we look at Isaiah 43:18–21, and are reminded that God is always at work doing "a new thing," even in seasons of uncertainty and transition. Spoken originally to Israel as they faced exile, God's promise to make "rivers in the desert" demonstrates that He brings life and hope where none seems possible. While our past experiences—both successes and failures—shape us, they do not define us. Like Peter, Paul, and John Wesley, we are continually renewed by God's grace. The invitation is to stop living captive to yesterday, trust that God is already working ahead of us, and faithfully join Him in the new work He is accomplishing today.  Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

    Reflections with Andy - Lamentations 3: 21-25 – New Starts

    Today, we start a new season of our Reflections as we reflect on Lamentations 3:21–25, We see that new beginnings are grounded in hope. Looking to the example of Jeremiah, who proclaimed God's faithfulness while witnessing the destruction of Jerusalem, we remember that following Christ does not guarantee an easy life, but it does offer a meaningful one sustained by God's steadfast love. Faith is trusting God's presence even when circumstances are painful or uncertain, believing that His mercies are "new every morning." Whether life is joyful or difficult, we hold fast to God's faithfulness, knowing that every new day is evidence of His grace and that hope remains because God never abandons His people.

    Sunday Sermon - The People and Jesus

    In my final service at St. Matthew's, we read from Romans 16. We are reminded that our church is not any one person, but it's all of us together. But in the end, none of that truly makes our church what it is. Jesus is all that really matters.

    Reflections with Andy - Ecclesiastes 12 – The Duty of Everyone

    In this final reflection on Ecclesiastes 12, the Teacher brings the entire book to its ultimate conclusion after wrestling with wisdom, pleasure, mortality, anxiety, and the fleeting nature of life. After exploring nearly every avenue for meaning, Ecclesiastes ends with a simple but profound truth: “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of everyone.” The devotion explains that fearing God is not about terror but about reverence, awe, and recognizing God’s greatness and holiness. From that reverence flows obedience, which Jesus ultimately summarizes as loving God and loving neighbor. The reflection closes by emphasizing that, after all the searching and existential struggle in Ecclesiastes, the purpose of life is found not in wealth, success, or control, but in faithfully loving God and others.

    Reflections with Andy - Ecclesiastes 11 – We Are All Going to Die

    In this reflection on Ecclesiastes 11, the Teacher continues offering wisdom sayings while wrestling with anxiety, uncertainty, and the temporary nature of life. Though Ecclesiastes often feels filled with angst and existential frustration, the chapter also points toward an important truth: life is fleeting, and recognizing that reality can bring wisdom and clarity. The devotion explores how human beings naturally worry about aging, death, and the uncertainties of the future, yet Scripture invites believers to hold those fears in perspective. While this life is beautiful and full of meaningful gifts, it is not ultimate. The worries consuming us now will eventually fade in light of eternity, and Christians can live with hope because there is something greater still to come in Christ.
