Prison, Prayer, Pride

God Guides the Humble, Not the Hurried or Haughty

God guides the humble, not the hurried or the haughty. This past Sunday, Pastor Brad Andrews showed us from 2 Samuel 2:1-32 that the spiritually mature listen before they act, but that the spiritually immature rush ahead of God. Are you running ahead of God or walking with Him?

God's Purposes Advance Through Painful Providences

God's purposes advance even through painful providences. From 2 Samuel 1, Pastor Brad Andrews showed us how, in David's grief, faithfulness didn't mean pretending loss wasn't loss. We can grieve honestly while trusting confidently b/c sorrow and hope are never at odds with God.

Prison, Prayer, Pride

Acts chapter 12 presents us with a profound paradox that challenges our understanding of faith and divine sovereignty. We encounter two apostles, both faithful servants of Christ, yet facing dramatically different outcomes. James is executed by the sword, while Peter miraculously escapes from prison through angelic intervention. This stark contrast forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: faithfulness to God does not guarantee immunity from suffering. The passage reveals that God's sovereignty operates beyond our human preferences and limited understanding.

The Seismic Shift in the Scope of God's Mission

Building community with like-minded believers is good, but it should stretch our vision out toward those we might overlook rather than shrink it. Listen in as Brad Andrews shows us from Acts 10 that we often confuse our preferences & comfort with God's actual mission in the world.

God's Unfailing Power for the Depleted and the Devoted

Whether you're depleted and despondent or faithful but exhausted, Jesus has the same message: you never outgrow depending on Him. Listen in as Brad Andrews shows us that your need is the very place God chooses to display his power - to meet you with his mercy and might. #Acts9
