Jesus personally seeks and transforms the overlooked, offering immediate grace and acceptance that leads to genuine change and restored identity through His love.
Some of us walked in today feeling unseen, unheard, and maybe even unwanted. We’ve smiled for others, but inside there’s a quiet ache that keeps asking, “Does God notice me?” Picture dusty Jericho streets and a short man with a tall stack of regrets. A tree-climbing tax collector—pockets full, ...read more
Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
Topics: Zacchaeus, Jesus
God’s love and glory empower us to shine with Christ’s light and purpose, overcoming darkness and reflecting His presence wherever we are.
Some mornings feel like a fresh page; others feel like a fog. You wake up to headlines that bruise the heart, to to-do lists that shout instead of whisper, to memories that linger longer than you prefer. Yet into that very real world, God speaks a word that warms like sunlight through a window: You ...read more
Scripture: Romans 8:30, Isaiah 60:1-2
Topics: God's Glory, Carriers, Glory Bearers
Jesus sees, calls, and transforms the overlooked and broken, offering grace and belonging to all who respond to His invitation, no matter their past.
Friends, picture it with me: a crowded street in Jericho, hot dust swirling, elbows and shoulders jostling for a glimpse of a traveling Teacher. At the edge of that scene is a man who feels small in more ways than one. He has money that can buy him furniture but not friends, status that sparks ...read more
Topics: Jesus' Love, Undesirables
True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.
Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more
Scripture: Luke 18:9-14
Topics: God's Mercy, Divine Compassion
God’s promises are fulfilled not by our strength or timing, but by His faithfulness, even when hope seems impossible and waiting feels endless.
Good morning, friends. If your heart has ever ached in the waiting room of life—if you’ve watched calendars turn while prayers felt unanswered, if you’ve listened to the echo of your own questions and wondered whether God still remembers your name—then you are in good company today. Abraham and ...read more
Scripture: Genesis 17:15-22, Romans 9:6-9
Topics: God's Character, Identity
Trusting God at life’s uncertain crossings requires both faith and obedience, as He calls us to step forward and follow Him into the unknown.
Have you ever stood at the edge of something new—heart thumping, hands trembling—wondering how you’ll make it across? Maybe it’s a decision you can’t delay, a diagnosis you didn’t ask for, a door you’re afraid to open, or a river of unknowns that seems swollen and wild. You can hear it rush; you ...read more
Scripture: Joshua 3:1-9
Topics: Courage, Conviction
True gratitude is not dependent on circumstances but is a daily response to God’s faithfulness, shaping our hearts and sustaining us through every season.
Friends, some weeks feel like a kaleidoscope of errands and emotions—school drop-offs and late invoices, texts we forgot to answer, headlines we wish we hadn’t read. Yet right in the middle of muddy shoes by the door, burnt toast on the counter, and the ache we can’t name, there is a whisper from ...read more
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Topics: Thankfulness, Gratitude
True satisfaction comes not from physical needs but from seeking God through prayer and His Word, which alone nourishes and sustains our deepest hunger.
There’s a kind of hunger that a full pantry can’t fix. You know the feeling. You stand in front of an open refrigerator—food everywhere—yet your soul still feels thin. Our bodies crave calories; our hearts crave a word from God. In a world of buzzing phones and bulging schedules, the deepest ache ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 4:4
Topics: All You Can Eat, Spiritual Hunger
Trust God to fight your battles; respond with prayer and praise, knowing His presence and power are greater than any fear or opposition you face.
Some mornings the alarm clock sounds like a starter pistol. We leap from bed straight into a race we didn’t sign up for—emails, meetings, bills, a stack of must-do’s. And then there are the battles no calendar can predict: the doctor’s report that makes your heart pound, the prodigal child who has ...read more

The second in a series of messages on the topic of an invisible "unseen" world that impacts our visible world. This sermon focuses on authority, submission, and rebellion.
Get the logos, graphics, and videos Andy used to preach this message. Visit www.andystanleysermons.org. Rebellion equals freedom. We didn’t actually know how to say it like that, but that’s the premise from which we operated from the time we were about 12 or 13 years old, right? It just made ...read more

I want you to write on the top of your notes, "AQ equals --" this is like algebra -- "AQ equals E," as in Edgar, "plus P," as in Peter, "0 -- times 0426." I wish I had a -- no, I’ll give that to again. Ready? AQ equals E plus P times 0426. AQ is your anger quotient. You know you have an IQ? ...read more

“Welcome people who are weak in faith, but don't get into an argument over differences of opinion” (Romans 14:1; GW). The bottom line was that they were to be a help, rather than a hindrance, to these less mature Christians.
