    Sunday Sermon - Hallowed Be Thy Name

    As we begin looking at the Lord's Prayer in this season of Lent, we turn to Matthew 6:9-13.  What does it mean to pray to Our Father, who art in Heaven?  What does it mean for us to say that His name is Holy?

    Sunday Sermon - Go to Church

    In our Traditional message from February 15, Andy shares with us from Hebrews 10: 19-15.  He explains why he considers himself a moderate. A moderate is not someone who does not have real theological or political thoughts and opinions. They will not break relationships over those differences.  This has been the historic reality of the United Methodist Church, and may it remain so

    Sunday Sermon - Pray

    In our INTERSECTION message from February 8, 2026, Andy shares with us from Philippians 4:4-7. We have a God to whom we can take all things in prayer. As we seek Him in prayer, we find His love, grace, and mercy.

    Reflections with Andy - Luke 24: 36-53 - The Greatest Story

    In finishing Luke’s Gospel, we see that the Resurrection is not a ghostly myth but a physical reality that affirms the goodness of our own bodies and our physical presence in the world. We recognize that Jesus opens our minds to Scripture not for mere head knowledge, but for heart transformation, turning us into witnesses who carry His love to all nations—from our neighbors to our enemies. We understand that the Ascension is the ultimate victory, placing Jesus at the right hand of the Father where He lives to intercede and pray for us personally. Ultimately, we are called to live victoriously rather than defeated, knowing that because Christ has conquered sin and death, we are "clothed with power" to tell the story of His grace to the entire world.

    Reflections with Andy - Luke 24: 13-35 - Finding Jesus

    The walk to Emmaus provides a powerful template for how we encounter the resurrected Christ in the midst of our own ordinary, and often discouraged, journeys. As Cleopas and his companion walked away from Jerusalem, trapped in the "we had hoped" stage of grief, Jesus met them in the mundane rhythm of their commute, proving that He is never absent even when our eyes are too heavy with sorrow to recognize Him. Through the dual "shorthands" of Scripture—where He traces the messianic promise from Moses through the Prophets—and the "breaking of the bread," He reveals that the Cross was the centerpiece of God’s plan rather than a tragic detour. This encounter teaches us that our "burning hearts" are a spiritual signal of His presence, urging us to look for Him not just in the sanctuary, but in every conversation, every meal, and every mile of our daily lives.

    Reflections with Andy - Luke 24: 1-12 - Telling the Story

    As we sit with the early morning rain today, I’m leaning into that powerful question the angels asked the women at the tomb: "Why do you look for the living among the dead?" It’s a challenge for all of us to stop searching for Jesus in the "dead" places of our lives—our past mistakes, our old shames, or the general ugliness of the world—and instead look for Him where life, grace, and beauty are actually breaking through. Even though the very first sermon of the Resurrection was dismissed by the apostles as an "idle tale," those women stayed faithful to what they had seen, reminding us that while we can’t control whether people are ready to hear the Good News, we are still called to proclaim it. We should take heart knowing that even when our witness feels ignored, God is often at work in the "wondering" hearts of those around us, and our only job is to keep pointing toward the One who is fully alive and walking beside us today.

    Reflections with Andy - Luke 23: 44-56 - Who Are We?

    In reflecting on the death and burial of Jesus in Luke 23, we see a profound contrast between those who viewed the crucifixion as a mere "spectacle" and those who responded with genuine faithfulness and sacrifice. We recognize that while the crowds were drawn to the drama of the event, the Centurion recognized Jesus' innocence, and the faithful women remained present even when the world seemed to have won. We understand that Joseph of Arimathea’s gift of a costly tomb serves as a model for how we can offer our best to the Lord, even in moments of perceived defeat. Ultimately, we are challenged to move beyond the search for spiritual "adrenaline rushes" and "cosplay" and instead embrace the quiet, consistent devotion of those who stayed by Jesus’ side until the very end, trusting that the stillness of the Sabbath is not the conclusion of the story.

    Reflections with Andy - Luke 23: 26-43 - Mercy

    In Luke 23, we see the profound theme of mercy unfolding through the final moments of Jesus' life. From the physical burden shared by Simon of Cyrene to the spiritual grace extended to those mocking and crucifying Him, Jesus consistently chooses forgiveness over retaliation. This mercy is most poignantly captured in His promise of paradise to the repentant thief, reminding us that no matter the "size" of our sins—whether they are public acts or private struggles with pride and envy—we all stand in equal need of God's grace. Ultimately, this passage challenges us to move beyond our own suffering to reflect that same transformative mercy to the world around us.
