  Reflections with Andy - Psalm 140 – Sowing and Reaping

  Aug 21, 202611 min

  In this reflection, we continue looking at the difficult and often uncomfortable imprecatory Psalms with Psalm 140. David cries out to God for protection from those who have hurt him and asks God to bring judgment upon his enemies. How do we reconcile these words with Jesus' command to love our enemies? As we wrestle with that question, we explore the difference between karma and grace. Christianity isn't about getting what we deserve; it's about receiving the grace and mercy of God. At the same time, our choices have consequences, and what we sow can shape the harvest of our lives. Psalm 140 gives us permission to be honest about our anger and pain while reminding us to choose what we want to plant in our lives: mercy, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and grace. Join us for our daily reflections. In 10 short minutes, we’ll dig a little deeper into Scripture and help us better understand God’s Word. You can read today’s passage here .

  Reflections with Andy - Psalm 109 – Go Get ‘em!

  Aug 20, 202611 min

  What do we do with the parts of the Bible that make us uncomfortable? In this reflection on Psalm 109, we look at one of the imprecatory Psalms—an intense prayer in which David cries out to God for justice against his enemies. These words can be difficult to reconcile with Jesus' command to love our enemies and pray for those who hurt us, but perhaps that's exactly why we need to wrestle with them. The Psalms give us permission to be honest with God about our anger, hurt, injustice, and desire for things to be made right. That doesn't mean every feeling is a feeling we should hold onto forever, but it does mean we don't have to hide our deepest emotions from God. Sometimes we have to name our pain before we can let it go, trusting that ultimate justice and vengeance belong to God. Join us for our daily reflections.

  Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 16: 5-24 – The People of God

  Aug 19, 202611 min

  As we finish our journey through 1 Corinthians, we look at Paul's closing words and the many people he names at the end of his letter. Timothy, Apollos, Priscilla, Aquila, Stephanas, and others remind us that the work of God has never been about one person doing everything. Paul may have been the apostle, but he understood that the ministry belonged to all of them together. In this reflection, we talk about why the Christian journey isn't meant to be lived alone, why church is about more than Sunday morning worship, and what John Wesley meant when he said there is "no holiness but social holiness." Ultimately, the church isn't just the preacher, and our faith isn't built around any one person. It's us together—the people of God—encouraging one another, serving one another, and living out God's mission together. Join us for our daily reflections. In 10 short minutes, we’ll dig a little deeper into Scripture and help us better understand God’s Word. You can read today’s passage here .

  Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 16: 1-4 – Remember the Poor

  Aug 18, 202613 min

  Today we look at 1 Corinthians 16:1–4, where Paul reminds the church of one of the earliest and most essential marks of Christian life: remember the poor. Paul ends this letter with a grounding reminder: after all the debates, disagreements, and distractions, the church must not forget the poor. We talk about why this mattered in the early church and why it still matters today — for our churches, our communities, and our personal walk with Christ. Join us for our daily reflections. In 10 short minutes, we’ll dig a little deeper into Scripture and help us better understand God’s Word. You can read today’s passage here .

  Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 15: 35-58 - The Imperishable

  Aug 17, 202611 min

  What happens to us after the resurrection? In this reflection on 1 Corinthians 15, we explore Paul's attempt to describe the resurrection body and what it means for our hope as Christians. Paul uses the image of a seed becoming something far greater than what was planted to help us understand that while our resurrection bodies will be connected to who we are now, they will be transformed—imperishable, glorious, and no longer subject to sin, sickness, weakness, or death. We may not know exactly what eternity will look like, but we can trust that God's future is better than anything we can imagine. And that hope doesn't mean we simply wait for heaven; it calls us to live boldly and joyfully now, working to make life on earth look more and more like the kingdom of God.
