Sermons at St. Andrew’s

The Otherwayers

Jesus is the gate into God's kingdom, but we're constantly tempted to climb in some other way — each of which is really just forms of self-sufficiency that rob Jesus of his glory and rob his people of his grace. The good news is we don't have to scale the wall: there's a gate right there, and his name is Jesus.

Life of St. Andrew: Involve

A Sabbath for the Not Okay

Jesus did not come to Earth so we could get church right on Sunday. It's so that we could be set free from the bondage of sin, suffering, and death.

It’s Decision Time

My prayer for us all is that we continue to choose Jesus; that we continue to live into our baptismal commitment of bringing others into the body of Christ.

Life of St. Andrew: Instruct

Instruction matters, because without knowing Jesus, fear will triumph, and we will be led astray by someone, by some idea, by something that will claim to calm it when only Jesus can.

Prayers to Pray Better

You cannot pray wrong, but you can probably pray better; most of all don't stop praying.
