    Learning to fast forward our thinking about the consequences of our actions will lead to a more godly life.

    Have you ever been distracted? Accused of not paying attention? Look at some of these fine examples... It seems an epidemic has encompassed our culture. Distracted drivers.

    Jesus paid the debt of sin for us. Now we are obligated to pay it forward. We repay this debt by writing checks of love and forgiveness to others.

    Pay it Forward Romans 13:8-10 A woman and her husband came to the pastor and said, “We're going to get a divorce, but we want to come to make sure that you approve of it.” There are people who come to the pastor hoping that when they say there is no feeling left in their marriage, the ...read more

    God calls us to march on through hardships and discouragements.

    I believe the Bible is the most inspiring, encouraging book ever written! I also believe we often miss the fullness of inspiration God desires for us. We miss it partly because we live in a VIDEO world (we would rather watch something than read it). We miss it partly because we live in a very ...read more

    This message deals with the fact that fear is the basis of faithlessness, often resulting in accusations toward others, and absurdity in one’s thinking. However, one who will choose to put their faith in God, will find their faith strengthen.

    Forward by Faith Text: Ex. 14:10, 13-15 Intro: Many Christians these days possess a distorted view of the life of faith. Some tend to think of faith as nothing more than a positive attitude, or the mindset that everything is going to work out all right in the end. This is sort of a “power of ...read more

    The third in a series of messages on the topic of an invisible "unseen" world that impacts our visible world. This sermon focuses on the bondage of our human bodies to decay and suffering, and that God remains present and active through it all.

    Get the logos, graphics, and videos Andy used to preach this message. Visit www.andystanleysermons.org. The irony of pain and suffering, or one of the ironies, is that it’s really the shortest route to God.

    We must work to understand what God has revealed, but it takes determined people to put that truth to work.

    Going Forward (Acts 11:19-30) 1. Sometimes in life we want to do something, but we feel awkward about it. 2. At a funeral, we sometimes have a sharing time; I usually say, "Nobody likes to be first, so who will be second?" 3. And sometimes we simply don’t make the changes we need to make because ...read more

    When we look forward to Jesus' coming again, here is how we should do so...

    1. TENACIOUSLY (vs 18) Romans 8:18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. Let’s not forget the verse that we ended with last Sunday: Romans 8:17 (NLT2) And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are ...read more

    Exploring the paradox of planning for tomorrow while living for today.

    Do you know what a paradox is? A paradox is defined as “a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.” Our faith as Christians is rife with paradoxes. Let me name a few: Christians conquer through ...read more

    Once forgiven and assured that we are in Christ we can face the future with confidence, not because we have learned from our mistakes, but because we know we are getting nearer in time and spiritually, to God our Almighty and heavenly Father.

    Text: Hebrews 12: 1-3 Sermon: Looking forward and to God So much then for looking back, and looking down; let us look forward, as Christians have been encouraged to do ever since the 1st century. According to the Bible, when we look forward there's good news and there’s bad news. The bad ...read more
