Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 7: 25-40 – The Throne of Our Heart
3d ago00:10:57Tap to summarizeIn today's episode of Reflections with Andy, we conclude 1 Corinthians 7:25–40 by exploring Paul's teaching on marriage, singleness, and keeping our priorities in the right order. While Paul speaks into the realities of his own time, his larger message is timeless: even the best gifts in our lives can never take the place of Christ. Whether we're married or single, our deepest identity and greatest devotion belong to Jesus alone.Join us for our daily reflections.

Transcribe →Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 7: 17 – 24 – Today
4d ago00:10:29Tap to summarizeIn today's episode of Reflections with Andy, we reflect on 1 Corinthians 7:17–24, where Paul encourages believers to be faithful in the circumstances where God has placed them. Along the way, we address one of the Bible's most challenging topics—slavery in the ancient world—and consider how the larger story of Scripture points toward freedom, dignity, and new life in Christ. Ultimately, this passage reminds us not to wait for some perfect future before living faithfully. God has given us today, and today's faithfulness is where discipleship begins.

Transcribe →Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 7: 1-16 – Who Do We Live For?
5d ago00:10:49Tap to summarizeIn today's episode of Reflections with Andy, we explore 1 Corinthians 7:1–16 and Paul's teaching on marriage, singleness, and Christian relationships. While some of Paul's instructions can be difficult to interpret, the heart of his message is remarkably clear: our lives are not our own. Whether we're married or single, our identity is found first in Christ, and we're called to love God and others before ourselves. It's a timely reminder that the healthiest relationships begin when Jesus—not our spouse, our family, or even ourselves—sits on the throne of our hearts.Join us for our daily reflections.

Transcribe →Sunday Sermon - Why?
6d ago00:19:36Tap to summarizeIn my message from July 19, 2026, I share from Revelation 12:11. We see that our testimony plays a huge part in how evil is defeated. It is not always the great and powerful things. It's sometimes simply telling the story of what God is doing in your life.

6d ago00:11:12Tap to summarizeIn today's Reflections with Andy, we explore 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, where Paul reminds us that not everything we can do is actually good for us. We talk about the difference between freedom and wisdom, why our bodies matter to God, and what it means to glorify Him with every part of our lives. Along the way, we unpack the biblical meaning of "the flesh," the dangers of living only to satisfy our desires, and the beautiful reminder that, through Christ, our bodies have become temples of the Holy Spirit.Join us for our daily reflections.

Transcribe →Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 6: 1-11 – Generosity and Grace
1w ago00:11:19Tap to summarizeIn today's Reflection with Andy, we explore 1 Corinthians 6:1–11, where Paul challenges believers to handle conflict differently from the world around them. Rather than rushing to judgment or insisting on our rights, Paul calls Christians to pursue reconciliation, value relationships, and even risk being wronged for the sake of the gospel. Along the way, we wrestle with one of our deepest fears—being taken advantage of—and ask what it would look like to extend the same generous grace to others that God has so freely given to us.Join us for our daily reflections.

Transcribe →Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 5 – Accountability
1w ago00:11:52Tap to summarizeAs we continue through 1 Corinthians, we come to one of Paul's most difficult chapters—a passage about church discipline, accountability, and protecting the witness of the Christian community. Rather than encouraging judgmentalism, Paul calls the church to lovingly confront patterns of unrepentant sin that damage both individuals and the body of Christ. In this episode, we explore the difference between condemnation and accountability, why integrity matters for the church's witness, and how grace and truth always belong together in the life of a healthy Christian community.Join us for our daily reflections.

Transcribe →Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 4: 14-21 – Talk, Action, and Correction
2w ago00:10:22Tap to summarizeIn this Wednesday reflection on 1 Corinthians 4:14–21, Paul's shift from sarcasm to direct fatherly warning crystallizes around one line: the kingdom of God depends not on talk but on power. It's easy to mistake the volume of our talking about faith for actual faithfulness — to feel like we're participating in the gospel because we say the right things, while our actions tell a different story. Paul is coming to find out which it is, and his arrival will come either with love and gentleness or with correction, depending on what he finds.Join us for our daily reflections.

Transcribe →Reflections with Andy - 1 Corinthians 4: 1-13 – Fools for Christ
2w ago00:10:22Tap to summarizeIn our Tuesday reflection on 1 Corinthians 4:1–13, Paul's biting sarcasm — already you have become kings! — skewers the Corinthians' tendency to boast about their gifts as though those gifts were their own achievement. Paul's point is simple: if what you have is a gift, the praise belongs to the giver, not the recipient. Humility is the only appropriate response to grace. But the heart of the reflection lands on verse 10 — we are fools for the sake of Christ — and the deeply countercultural math of the gospel. When reviled, bless. When slandered, speak kindly. When persecuted, endure. None of that makes sense by the world's standards, and that's exactly the point. Grace that makes too much sense probably isn't grace — real grace is always a gift that wasn't earned, always looks a little strange from the outside, always challenges the world's ledger of fairness and retaliation. Christianity should be a little weird. We serve a God who was raised from the dead, and we ought to live like it — foolishly, joyfully, and fully.Join us for our daily reflections.

Transcribe →Sunday Sermon - All Our Story
2w ago00:34:48Tap to summarizeIn my message from July 12, 2026, we read from Genesis 50: 20 and Romans 8:28. I share my testimony about all that has happened in my life, and I remind us that all things work for good, but not all things are good. Our pain shapes us, but it does not define us. The world does not need a perfect church. The world needs a broken church redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
