Growing Season - Fruit of the Spirit

Pastor Andy's sermon on Galatians 5:16-25 from June 19, 2016.

How do you know if a plant is healthy?  How do you know if it’s doing what it’s supposed to be doing?  By it’s fruit!  Good fruit = good plant.  It’s the same way with Christians.  This week the Apostle Paul helps us talk about growth by telling us what fruit we should see growing in our lives and how it is grown.

Promise of Baptism

Pastor Andy's sermon on Acts 2:14-42 from May 22, 2016, Trinity Sunday.

We continue last week’s story and hear Peter’s sermon to the crowd, the first sermon in the history of the Church.  Peter tells the story of Jesus the Messiah and urges the crowd to repent and be baptized, to receive the promise of God which is “for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.”

Following Jesus: Gift of the Holy Spirit

Pastor Andy's Pentecost sermon on Acts 2:1-12.

This week we celebrate Pentecost, the birthday of the Church.  On this day, Jesus sent His Holy Spirit upon all the believers, and filled with the Spirit they went out into the streets to proclaim the name of Jesus.  The Holy Spirit is the life-breath of the Church and the wind that fills our sails.  Come, Holy Spirit!
