Called Together

Posted by admin Categories: Rev. Clay Andrew, Worship Services

Called Together As Jesus started His ministries in Galilee, he began to call his disciples who dropped everything to follow Him. They were not theologians or scholars, but fishermen, and yet He chose them to become “fishers of men.” Anyone can follow Jesus. How are you called to follow Him? Read Mathew 4:12-23 and 1 Corinthians 1:10-18 in preparation for Sunday’s sermon,…

A Disruptive Peace

Posted by admin Categories: Advent, Christmas, Rev. Clay Andrew, Worship Services

A Disruptive Peace The peace promised by the Messiah is one that disrupts the normal order. The Pax Romana constrained conflict by force. God’s peace is a holistic and healing, not violently enforced, but disrupting the power of the empires and powers of our world. Read Matthew 1:18-25 in preparation for Sunday’s sermon, “A Disruptive Peace.” Join us at 9:00…

Advent 1: A Strange Hope

Posted by admin Categories: Advent, Hope, Rev. Clay Andrew, Worship Services

A Strange Hope Isaiah and Paul both remind us that, as people of faith, we live in hope. But the hope to which we are called is not like hoping to give or receive a great gift. It is a hope for a world that looks radically different than the world we live in. But that dream of a transformed…
