He encourages believers to embrace new faith and generosity, highlighting how the early church’s unity and selflessness resulted in remarkable growth and miracles.
By stepping out in faith, we activate God's blessings and become integral to His transformative work in the world.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson ushers us into a new season of spiritual growth and action. He calls us to "Take Ground" as we prepare for a powerful harvest ahead, adding that it won’t come without each of us taking ownership of what needs to change in our lives.
Just like David writes about in Psalm 23, we acknowledge God's presence and guidance even in the hard times! We are not alone, and we will continue “Taking Ground” as we move toward the victory already we’ve already won through Jesus!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson emphasizes the profound significance of Communion, describing it as a sacred opportunity for believers to deeply connect with God through the remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice.

In this message, Factory is joined by Guest Speaker, Pastor Corey Alley. Pastor Corey takes us on a deep dive into Matthew 6:33 and what it really means to seek first the Kingdom of God.
Whether we realize it or not, every one of us is building a kingdom. It’s simply a matter of what we give our time, attention, effort, and devotion to.
So the question is, will we labor to build our own kingdom? Or will we seek first His Kingdom…and trust His promise that everything else will be added unto us?
A new year means new goals. But what if we’ve neglected to create goals in an area God is deeply invested in?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us that having goals for ourselves in the new year is a good thing. But while most of our goals fall into personal, physical, and spiritual categories, there’s one more category we need to add: Kingdom goals!
Kingdom goals are spiritual goals ON THE MOVE. They are putting faith in action in such a way as to impact our community and those around us.
So in this new year, let’s set goals for ourselves… And also for the Kingdom!
The King of Creation chose to meet us in a manger.
In this special Christmas Eve message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to that first Christmas night. By choosing to be born in a lowly manger, away from the pomp and circumstance of royalty and nobility, Jesus actually cleared to way for the least of these to fall on their knees before Him.
From Heaven’s throne room to Bethlehem’s manger, Jesus has always closed the distance between us. And He always will!
We can have confidence in the Holy One.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to the moment when the angel Gabriel brought news to Mary that she would bear the promised Messiah. And while that message fills us with great hope today, we must recall a young girl who had her plans, hopes, dreams, and life turned completely upside down.
Often God’s timing in our lives seems insensitive. And in our confusion, we can remove ourselves from the miracle He is trying to work in our lives. But if we can remember who it is we’re placing our hope in, and trust that He’s for us and not against us, we can experience the move of the Spirit we so desperately need.
His name is holy, and He can’t lead us astray… Will you trust Him in the unexpected circumstances you find yourself in?
“Don’t be afraid. Instead…”
These are God’s words to us, and in this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us of the confidence we have in our Savior. Anchoring in Isaiah 9 and the promise of the Messiah to come, we can stand firmly on who Jesus is and the nature of His character.
We don’t have to wait for a promise in the future… Jesus is here NOW, and ready to move in your life today!
Betrayals from the ones closest to us hurt most.
In this message we are joined by guest speaker, Dr. Joel Johnson. Joel opens up about his own troubled relationships with the father figures in his life, and how those injuries often start to influence our view of God—our perfect Father.
Joel teaches us how to navigate those lingering hurts, and begin a journey of healing so we can enter into the full and abundant life Jesus promised. And in doing so, we can experience freedom like we’ve never imagined.
Christmas is meant for MORE.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson kicks off the holiday season by taking us back to the original Christmas story. As we revisit a story we’re familiar with, we learn that the shepherds entrusted with the news of the Messiah’s coming weren’t men of stature… Rather, young kids.
If God trusted the news of Jesus’ coming to a group of children in the fields, may He also be wanting to do something great through you? Would you be willing to open yourself up to Him, and step out in faith to bring His message of hope to the world?
Divinely favored, successful, and fortunate. Blessed and prosperous!
In this message, Pastor Andy sets the table on what it truly means to be blessed and to prosper, and how that is absolutely what God wants for us as believers in HIM. Hearing this may be interesting, but for a lot of us it is hard to believe because we don't think we deserve this.
If we actually believe what God's word says and are willing to stand on what we believe, then we will certainly receive the blessings that He is wanting to pour out on us!
The unknown can be scary. But if you’re not careful, you might just let a blessing pass you by.
In this message, Factory is joined by guest speaker, Pastor Josue Rodriguez. Pastor Josue pulls us into 1 Kings and the story of the widow of Zarephath. He shows us that just when we think we know how our story will end, we have to think again. Because our God is a God of unexpected endings.
When it looks like you don’t have what you need to step into God’s calling, think again! God has put inside you what it takes!
Don’t tell us He won’t do it!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson picks up where he left off in sharing his story with us. Through his personal testimony of life change through generosity, Pastor Andy challenges us to take God at His word and trust Him to provide for our needs AND BEYOND.
The enemy wants one thing—to steal, kill, and destroy. But Jesus came to give life and give it ABUNDANTLY! And we’ll testify of His goodness!
When we start to actually BELIEVE God’s word, EVERYTHING shifts!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us about the power of giving to change our lives. By sharing his own testimony of God’s miraculous restoration and provision in his life, Pastor Andy dares us to take God at His word; to tell the world of the amazing things God does for us, or tell them if God hangs us out to dry.
We can stand on God’s promises! And we can trust Him to bless our offerings as we sow into His Kingdom generously.
You can need a miracle, or be a miracle—the choice is yours.
In this message, Factory is joined by guest speaker, Pastor Mike Griffin. Pastor Mike takes us on a deep dive into what the Bible teaches about finances, and how God has called us to steward the money He blesses us with.
Through our finances, God has given us an amazing tool to do His work and see His supernatural provision in our lives and our communities!
WE are the ones who will change the world!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson brings us to the conclusion of our series on how to bring Heaven to earth: “See We”. He teaches us that once we’ve recognized who God is and who WE are in His eyes, WE have the responsibility to begin walking in the calling He has given us!
We might not get it right every time… But it’s our turn to get off the sidelines!
We’re one in Christ—but that doesn’t mean we’re all the same.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues teaching us how to unlock Heaven on earth in part three of our series: See Us. Pastor Andy teaches us that while we all make up the body of Christ, we each have different roles and spiritual gifts given ONLY by the Holy Spirit.
As Pastor Andy invites worship leader, Anthony Wise, to share his testimony, we’ll see that we can’t try to force the Holy Spirit to work in someone’s life the same way He worked in ours; nor can we expect our brothers and sisters in Christ to look or behave in the same ways we do. The work of the Holy Spirit is unique in each one of us, bringing great healing and purpose to our lives.
You see yourself differently when you’re looking through God’s lens.
In this message, Pastor Andy takes us into the second part of our series on how to unlock Heaven here on Earth: “See Me”. He teaches us that the only way to fully see ourselves is to first see God, who He is, and what He’s done. And as we see Him fully, we’ll start to connect who we are and what our purpose is.
We have been given the opportunity to be called children of God! And as God’s sons and daughters, our relationship with the Father is an intimate one.
Draw close to the Father’s heart today!
The mind is a battlefield, and we have no hope of winning that battle without the help of the Holy Spirit.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us into part 4 of our series on the “Sounds of Renewal”. He takes time to show us how we can spot the difference between someone operating with a Holy-Spirit-renewed mind, and someone without one. And not just that, Pastor Andy also gives us 5 actionable steps to begin renewing our own minds!
Don’t let the enemy win the battle in your mind! Begin a supernatural renewal today!
God wants to transform you in order to fulfill His great purpose in you!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues our series on “The Sounds of Renewal”. He goes deeper into what true renewal looks like, as well as what it DOESN’T look like: namely, behavior modification.
In a culture focused on outward changes, true renewal happens from the inside out! With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can all see transformation in our lives through His renewing of our minds.
If you’re feeling desperate… You’re exactly where God is going meet you.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues our series, “The Sounds of Renewal”. He teaches us that too many of us cling to a past experience of salvation, but neglect the daily RENEWING of our minds that we are called to as believers. A renewing that leads to TRANSFORMATION, according to Romans 12:2.
This transformation is what prepares us to face life’s challenges with confidence, resting assured that our greatest moments of desperation set the stage for God to show up in a big way!
Christ isn’t interested in leaving us the way He found us… He’s interested in making us new!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us that the sounds of Christ’s renewal in our lives manifest as the activity of transformation. Like scripture tells us in Romans 12, God will renew and transform our minds as we surrender to Him; as this happens, our transformed lives will ring out with such a sound that they overflow to everyone around us!
Christ’s invitation to us comes in two parts: come, and go.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson expounds on God’s desire for us to come nearer to His heart, and once filled, GO and take His heart to those around us!
We were never meant to keep God’s love to ourselves. In the abundance and overflow of His goodness, He commands us to tell the world that that goodness is available to them as well.
So we won’t just come into His presence… We will go and tell the world!
Building the Kingdom starts with sowing seeds… And what better place to sow seeds than into the next generation?
In this message, we get to see the sowing and reaping that occurred on Factory Youth’s summer camp in Atlanta. Through powerful testimonies of decisions made for Jesus, we get to witness the next generation of believers take up arms for the Kingdom of God!
The faith is alive and well in the hearts of our youth!
In this Sabbath Sunday message, Pastor Andy takes us through Galatians 6 and teaches us how we can sew our summer seeds of: New Heart. New Hope. New Vision. New Courage. New Action.
But to be able to sew these seeds and love others well, we must be not only a friend of God, but a friend to ourselves. Galatians 5:14 says, "For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" We must first love ourselves and what God has created us to be to be able to share that love with others around us.
So as we go throughout our summer and our sewing these seeds, let us remember that through HIM we are given a new heart, which produces a new hope in us, and through that He gives us new vision to have new courage to be able to take new action for His Kingdom!
Who better to teach us to be a friend of God than Jesus’ own brother?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to the book of James in order to learn what becoming a friend of God looks like. Through James’ own journey of unbelief, to apostle, to leader of the first century church, Pastor Andy shows us that becoming a friend of God doesn’t end with hearing God’s word, but in living it out.
Though we are not saved by our works, good works are the fruit of a genuine relationship with our Savior. The difference between going to church and BEING the church begins when we decide to live out what God has called us to.
So as we become friends of God, may we never tire of serving our God and living out the full and selfless lives He has called us to!
The grind isn’t always fun. But it’s important.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined by his dad, Pastor Jerry Williamson, and friend, Toby Foreman of Haerfest Coffee Roasting Co, for a conversation on the power of potential. Through the conduit of a cup of coffee, these three men teach us to not look at things the way they are, but rather, at the potential of what they can be.
Just as a coffee bean must change to reach its fullest potential, so are we refined by the journey of life. Christ isn’t going to leave us how He found us… He’s going to turn us into what we’re meant to be!
Words have the power to hurt…but also to heal.
In this message we are joined by Guest Speaker, Dr. Joel Johnson. Pastor Joel takes us on a deep dive into not just what the Bible says about the power of words, but what science can now verify about to power of prayer and spoken words over people and things.
The Bible has long taught us that the tongue is sharper than any sword… And as we learn more about words’ power to build or destroy, it’s our hope to use words to bring life!
It only matters what God thinks about us!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson addresses something many of us are familiar with: feeling unqualified. Drawing from his own experiences, as well as those of the 120 disciples in the upper room, Pastor Andy shows us how time and again God uses people whom the world sees as unqualified, but whom He sees as CHOSEN.
Pastor Andy reminds us that when we humble ourselves before the Lord, He will use us in amazing and unimaginable ways. And with His strength, we will be able to resist the enemy and build the Kingdom for God’s glory.
He calls us qualified!
In this special Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson brings us to the conclusion our “Journey to the Upper Room”.
Focusing on God’s promises for the believer, Pastor Andy shows us that immeasurable life and power is still available to us today through the power of the Holy Spirit. And once filled with that power, Pastor Andy teaches us how we are to steward it to love our fellow man.
Just as the disciples in the upper room were called to minister to their generation, so are we being equipped to take the Good News to the world we live in now. We can’t pass the baton to anyone else… It has to be us. Because if it’s not us, then whom?
How you see HIM Matters…
In part five of our series, Pastor Andy takes us through Pre-Pentecost, identifying some trends happening with the events and people that are leading us to the Upper Room. During this part of our Journey To The Upper Room, Pastor Andy shows us how the disciples and others were scared by religion, circumstances, and other world powers when Jesus is arrested, beaten and killed. These disciples were not world-changers by any means.
We are given these accounts to show that it’s absolutely impossible for a person to live the Christian life through our own human strength. The Christian life FULLY depends upon the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.
The promise of the Holy Spirit is for us TODAY! But we must make the choice ourselves to just be near the room, or whether we want to fully receive the power of the Holy Spirit! We must pray for the filling of the Spirit!
Are you willing to make the choices necessary to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit?
In this special Mother’s Day message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues leading us on our “Journey to the Upper Room”. He teaches us about the beautiful relationship Jesus had with His mother, Mary, and how that relationship connects to the experience in upper room…
As Mary waited with the disciples for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, she held fast to the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit she had experienced as a young girl… The same empowerment that gave her the courage to stand by and love on the very disciples who abandoned her Son in His hour of need.
The Holy Spirit is ready to free you from all hurt and bitterness, and equip you to do miraculous things through His power. Make room for Him today!
There’s life in the breath!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues leading us on our “Journey to the Upper Room”. He dives into the nature of the relationship between Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and into the foundation of BREATH from which the Holy Spirit takes His name.
It is through breath that Christ created all we see and don’t see… And through the breath of the Holy Spirit that the church is filled and empowered to do incredible things!
Just as the upper room was filled with a mighty wind, may the Holy Spirit be poured out on us today!
A life of abundance is accessible to all of us!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson introduces us to a power player standing in our corner: the Holy Spirit. As we begin a series taking us toward the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost, Pastor Andy teaches us that the key to unlocking a rich and satisfying life lies in the presence of the Holy Spirit!
He is our Helper, our Healer, our Intercessor, and Advocate! And if Christ said it’s in our best interest for Him to leave so the Holy Spirit could come to us…we better listen!
We receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirit today!
There’s no need to walk in darkness!
In this special Baptism Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to John 8 and Christ’s promise that “If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
We don’t serve a God who wants to entrap us; we serve a God who wants to help us so we don’t have to stumble in darkness! We won’t don’t have to look for answers and hope… Because we have the light that leads to life!
As we celebrate the lives of those who’ve chosen to follow Jesus and be baptized, may we never forget the light that we’ve been given!
If you thought the Easter story was unlikely, just as unlikely is one of its biggest players!
In this special Easter message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to the root of the salvation story. As we relive the brutality of the cross and the joy of the resurrection, we’re reminded of the cost of our freedom, and the great victory Christ claimed when He walked out of the tomb!
But not just that… Jesus then chose to ignite the fire of the Gospel using the most unlikely of persons: Mary Magdalene, the once demon possessed woman.
God takes joy in using the most unlikely people for the most unthinkable miracles! And just as He chose the broken and unqualified then, He’s ready to use YOU now!
You can’t experience what God is doing if your senses aren’t awakened to see it!
In this special Palm Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson sets the stage for us the experience Christ’s triumphal entry in a real way. As we place ourselves on the streets of Jerusalem two thousand years ago, we understand the symbolism of what that moment meant.
While Israel wanted deliverance from earthly oppression, Jesus rode into Jerusalem to bring deliverance from spiritual bondage. So today we celebrate the true victory Palm Sunday symbolizes: victory over sin and the grave!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us on a deep dive into Jewish Passover tradition, and what that Last Supper meal would have been like for Jesus and His disciples.
While Jesus’s followers looked to Him for deliverance from the political and military authorities of the time, Jesus showed them (and us) through the symbolism of Passover the TRUE freedom that was to come through His death and resurrection!
We’ll miss the weight of the Last Supper if we don’t understand Passover… As we look in detail at scriptural accounts of Christ’s Passover meal with the disciples, and as we consider the traditions and customs tied to that event, our understanding of our own salvation will grow!
It’s less about DOING, and more about DANCING!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to John 15 and the Jesus’ beautiful illustration of the true grapevine. Whereas too many of us strive for the fruitfulness it speaks of, we’re looking at it all wrong! Fruitfulness shouldn’t be what we strive for; fruitfulness should be a byproduct of being in sync with our Savior.
Love is like dancing…and Jesus wants to share that dance with us! As we draw closer to our Savior and fall into His rhythm, we’ll find the fruitfulness of our lives will happen on its own.
You can’t win a fight if you don’t know what you’re fighting for.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues teaching us what’s required to receive fresh fire from heaven: fresh remembrance. Drawing on the Psalms of David, Pastor Andy shows us how David constantly reminded himself of who God is, what He has done in the past, and the assurance that God held his future. And this constant remembrance of the character of God is what allowed David to receive fresh fire and Spirit from heaven.
The same is still true today! Through every distraction, we must call to mind the heart God we serve. And as we keep our eyes on Him, we’ll find the Spirit of God descending on us as well.
Yesterday’s meal won’t sustain you today. And it’s the same way with the Holy Spirit.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us that a past encounter with the Spirit is not enough to sustain us indefinitely. Each day requires fresh discipline as we seek out the Spirit, and put in the work to make our relationship with Him grow.
We MUST stay hungry, friends… Yesterday’s meal won’t keep us fed today. May we receive a new portion of the Spirit each day!
God may be wanting to move in your life in more powerful ways than you realize.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to Mark 6 and the encounter Jesus had with the crowds in His hometown. Scripture tells us that because of their unbelief, Jesus was unable to perform great miracles in Nazareth, except to lay hands on a few sick people and heal them.
This begs the question: what miracles are we missing out on because we aren’t postured to receive them?
The work of God and the pouring out of His Spirit require complete surrender from us! We will always receive our miracles in part, so long as we cling tighter to our own agendas than to His leading. To see God move in greater ways than we can imagine…we must be willing to fully surrender!
Fresh fire comes from fresh repentance…
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us the relationship between repentance and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He shows us that a move of the Spirit isn’t out of reach… It can begin when we remove the barriers that stand between us and God.
Revival can begin NOW. As we repent and remove what’s between us and our Father, may we receive a new fire…a new spirit…and see miracles break out!
We know God loves us… But have we ever asked ourselves, “Why?”
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson celebrates Valentines Day with us by exploring the love God has for His children. A love that’s anything but ordinary.
It’s not a casual love… It’s a love that pursues. That can’t be stopped. That calls us worthy and rests in victory!
May this supernatural love infect our hearts, minds, and spirits, and overflow into those around us!
Dr. Joel Johnson joins us for a special message addressing Trauma.
Every human can find better life than their dreams through a whole heart by doing these three things:
Life comes through the heart.
Binding of trouble/trauma starts with inviting him into your heart. Invitation starts there!
Want to see Jesus? Look at us.
In this message, guest speaker, Pastor Antoine Lassiter, shows us what our job is as believers: to show others the love and character of Christ.
Whether we reflect God’s character like a mirror, or allow people to see Christ’s love through us like a window, the world will know what hope looks like when they look at the church!
So if you want to see the power and presence of God in a hurting world…look at us!
When we talk about jealousy, it’s often in a negative context. But what does it mean when God says His very name is jealous?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson sets the stage for the next season at Factory: a season of pursuit. As he shows us the nature of God’s love for us, we learn that this jealous love comes from God’s relentless pursuit of our hearts.
The Father’s love is unwavering, and it demands a response. Through countless generations, God has broken down every barrier in his pursuit of our hearts… Today, we receive that lavish love.
We will seek no other! We will pursue the one who first pursued us!
With God on our side, victory is the only outcome.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined by three single moms that Factory had the honor of financially blessing during the holiday season. As these moms share their testimonies of that experience, we learn just how much one life can impact another… And that when God adopts us as His own children, there is no one and no thing that can stand against us.
Nothing that can separate us from the love of God! No power in heaven or on earth, no fear, no shame, no burdens or circumstances. He has made us His own… And in His name we can claim victory!
There’s no room for old when you are made new.
In this special New Years Day message, Pastor Bruce Conser talks to us about what it means to truly be made new in Christ. Being made new doesn’t mean we are reformed, rehabilitated, or reeducated… Instead, we are fully RECREATED in the image of our Heavenly Father!
We are no longer bound to the person we used to be, or to the sinful nature we were born into… Jesus Christ lived the perfect life so that we could one day exchange our lives for His, and be made free through Him.
So let go of the old man in side of you, and begin the new life Christ wants to give you! The old is gone, the new has come!
The best present you can give is to be present.
In this special Christmas message, guest speaker, Pastor Mike Griffin, teaches us what it means to celebrate the “present”: both the gifts we’ve been given, and the present time we have.
Each of us have been given amazing gifts and blessings that others pray for… Not only material gifts, but even the very time we have! We get to choose how to spend that time, and we pray you spend it with us at the feet of the Father and surrounded by those you love!
We sing about a silent night… But the night Jesus was born was anything but silent.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to the night Mary and Joseph were turned away by family, friends, and even the innkeepers in their hometown… Rejected, marginalized, and belittled, Mary and Joseph brought the King of Heaven into the world in the filth of a stable, only to run for their lives shortly thereafter.
If we think Jesus doesn’t understand our darkest moments, we’re wrong. Our Savior knows what it’s like to feel sorrow and grief… To be marginalized and looked down on… But He came to deliver us from it.
Hope was born on a dark night in Bethlehem, but take heart! The Light has come!
You don’t see many Christian churches celebrating Hanukkah… But why not?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson take us through the story of Hanukkah. As he teaches us the history and meaning of this traditionally Jewish holiday, we learn that the heart of it is something we should be celebrating every day: God’s presence and provision!
Just as the Jews rededicated the temple to God, so do we rededicate ourselves to our Savior and His work! We celebrate that He will never leave us nor forsake us, and that even in the midst of loss and chaos, He is ALWAYS with us!
When the proximity of the Holy Spirit has the power to ignite others, what you carry MATTERS!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to where the Christmas story begins: a visitation. After an angel tells Mary she will bear the promised Messiah, the gravity of what she carried inside her was evident once again: this time, when her cousin, Elizabeth, and Elizabeth‘s unborn baby both respond to the nearness of the Savior.
And just like Elizabeth responded to the Spirit Mary was carrying, so do those around us respond to the Spirit inside of us! What we carry MATTERS. So let go of the shame, hurt, and baggage that weigh you down… Release it, and make room to carry the greatest gift the world has ever seen: the promise of a Savior!
Gratitude: a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible.
In this weeks message, Pastor Eric Burris takes us through multiple passages in the book of Psalms and how we can truly show Gratitude to our Creator!
No matter our circumstances, God will never leave us or forsake us!
Our God is absolutely a God of moments!
In this weeks message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us the true meaning of the Thanksgiving Holiday and how we must know what our Savior did for us in order to be able to thank Him!
Our God is a God of fun, moments, laughter, and celebration! Let us not forget that as we enter into the holiday season because of what HE has done for us!
God has called us to be His Agents - Ambassadors of Reconciliation and Life!
In this weeks message, Pastor Andy takes us through 2 Corinthians 5 and how God has not only made us a new creation, but how He has called us to reconcile people to Him to make them a new creation.
We might look a little crazy in how we reach those people! But if it brings even one to know HIM, then mission accomplished!
We always love when God does what we want Him to do, but if we aren’t leaned into His spirit, we will miss the Spirit-filled God moments!
Jesus says “…And on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
In this message Pastor Andy Williamson takes Factory behind the scenes of what God has been working on in our Youth Program, and what can happen with a simple Yes to God and a willing heart.
God is calling us to put all of our trust in Him, and fully believe that HIS plan for our life is the path to eternal blessing!
It’s often in our lowest moments when we take a look around and ask ourselves, “How did I get here?”
It turns out God asks us the same question.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches from 1 Kings 16 and the testimony of Elijah’s triumph over Ahab and the prophets of Baal. And though God showed up in a mighty way in Elijah’s defense on Mount Carmel, Elijah’s heart was still gripped with fear following the threats of Jezebel on his life.
Finding him alone and hiding in a cave, God asks Elijah the question, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Just as Elijah allowed himself to become prisoner of the fear he created in his heart, so do we become prisoners of what we create. Whether it’s fear, shame, isolation, guilt, or hurt, we allow ourselves to be bound by it.
But there is hope! Just as we can be bound by the negative, we can also become prisoners to the great POWER and HOPE we have in Jesus! Whatever rules your heart rules you… But you have the choice: be a prisoner to fear and shame…or be a prisoner to future, hope, and LOVE!
The choice is yours.
In the final hours before His crucifixion, Christ found himself alone, cursed, and abandoned by those who were supposed to love Him most… And yet, it was the very people who abandoned Him that He went out of His way to pursue after His resurrection!
In this Baptism Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to the shore of the Sea of Galilee. As the dejected disciples try in vain to bring in a catch, Jesus shows up in the most miraculous fashion, and recreates a miracle from when He first called them to follow Him!
Even though the disciples abandoned Jesus in His hour of need, we need NEVER fear Christ doing the same thing to us. There is NO record of sin against us in His presence! He pursues us with a wild love and grace we’ll never understand!
And just as He chased after His disciples in love, so is He chasing after you today… And He always will!
When God is the room…there is always hope.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson sits down for a conversation with Casey Johnson, talking all things Factory, all things hope, and all things being prepared for the moment when the Savior walks in the room!
So don’t let the moment pass you by… When Jesus walks in your room, He wants to bring healing, hope, and joy to your spirit! All it takes is faith… All it takes is trust… And you can be ready for a miracle!
Sometimes in life, the promise of a scripture grips our hearts and doesn’t let go.
In this message, Factory Church is joined by not one, but FOUR Factory pastors, as well as guest speaker, Casey Johnson, for a round table discussion like no other. As each of these pastors share the testimonies and passages of scripture that have assured them, encouraged them, and carried them through life’s toughest battles, we are given the gift of faith overflowing!
May these words be a reminder that Christ’s mercies will never reach an end. They are new every morning, and they are meant for YOU. He who has done great things before will do them again… For He is still on the throne! And He’s still in love with YOU!
Little things are little things… Until they become big things.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through Judges 5 and the repeated pattern of the children of Israel turning away from God before crying out for deliverance. Because one doesn’t fall out of love with the Savior right away, how is it possible for the Israelites to have done it so often?
Because all it takes is allowing little things to create VAST distance over time!
So today we RESET and RENEW our love for the Savior who paid it all! Who gave His life to deliver us from sin! We close the gap and allow the Savior to pull us closer than ever.
And as we do, we will receive His prophetic blessing of rising like the sun in all its power!
We’ve often heard the phrase “Make room for God”. But have we ever considered that God is making room for us?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson celebrates Factory’s fifth birthday by reminding us about the heart of who Jesus is, and consequently, the heart of who Factory is. Drawing from three separate accounts of Christ’s faithfulness toward the marginalized, broken, and forgotten, Pastor Andy teaches us that whereas religion tries to force you out, the love of Jesus pulls you in!
Factory finds it’s calling in the way our Savior makes room at the table for EVERYONE. No matter your circumstances, no matter you past or your background, Jesus is making room for YOU! And you can claim freedom in Him today!
God wants to pour out His blessing on us… But only those who trust and MOVE in faith will receive it!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson take us back to Judges 4 and the account of Israel’s delivery from Sisera in the time of Deborah the prophet. While all the Israelites may have wanted to claim God’s blessing after being delivered, scripture is clear that those who didn’t join the fight would not receive the blessing… Only those who gave themselves to the fight would claim it!
And the same is true today! Faith is not a spectator sport. We are called to join the action and take ground against the enemy! And we are promised that when we do, we will rise like the sun in all its power!
Factory has gone through a four-part series focusing on how God wants us to operate as believers: “Big, Strong, Fast, And…”
Today, we continue to learn more about how our lives are anchored on this one word: FAITHFULNESS!
Drawing from the book of Judges, Pastor Andy Williamson shows us that God’s faithfulness to us is found only in closeness to Jesus… And it is meant to bring us VICTORY!
Our Savior is WITH us in the battle, if we’d only draw close to Him and allow Him to go before us! In His name, we receive the supernatural power that belongs to Him. With Christ, our victory is assured! For He has already won the war!
Factory has gone through a three-part message focusing on how God wants us to operate as believers: “Big, Strong, Fast, And…”
Today, we learn that all of these descriptions rest on one word and attribute of God: FAITHFUL!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us that our call to be faithful is not without a model… Rather, God shows us again and again through His Word just how He expresses His faithfulness to us, and how we are to model our faithfulness back toward Him and toward one another!
His faithfulness builds confidence, strength, and hope inside us as He draws us near to Him. And as we draw close, we receive all that God wants to do in and through us!
So this is your call, Church. Draw close. Receive His faithfulness and grace. Then, we will overflow into one another and take ground for the Kingdom!
When you’re preparing for a fight, the last thing you want to be is weighed down. But how many of us walk around with the heavy burden of unforgiveness every day?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us into the third part of our series, “Big, Strong, Fast, and…” As we dive into how to be FAST in our fight against the enemy, Pastor Andy teaches us that the burdens of bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness will never hurt those who’ve wronged us… They will only hurt ourselves.
Whether we hold resentment toward others, or we’re struggling to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, the weight of unforgiveness slows us down. It’s only in learning to give and receive forgiveness that we shed the weight that binds us as we fight against the enemy!
So what grudges are you holding in your heart today? What shames keeps you from forgiving yourself? It’s time to release the unforgiveness in your heart and live the life of fullness God created you to enjoy!
We may feel strong on our own, but true strength comes through the power of unity.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues part two of our series, “Big, Strong, Fast, and…” He teaches us that as followers of Jesus, we have been adopted into God’s family with full rights as heirs with Jesus! But while we may be children of God, we won’t experience the true strength of God until we learn to love each other in a unified and powerful way!
Each of us have a purpose and function within the body of Christ, and we cannot build the Kingdom unless every part works together in harmony. So let us lean on our brothers and sisters, removing every division between us, so that we can be of ONE mind, ONE body, and ONE accord! So that we may experience the strength of God that comes through unity!
The gates of hell will not prevail over a church united!
We all want to get better at something… But how exactly do we go about growing personally, relationally, and spiritually?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us from the book of Acts and the miracle that happened on the day of Pentecost. It’s no accident that the early church was able to add 3,000 new members in one day… How did they do it? Through complete surrender to and reliance on the word of God!
Christ has given us a playbook on how to grow in every area of our lives, and it boils down to leaning not on our own understanding…but on HIS! And as we acknowledge Him in every moment, He will direct our paths and help us grow beyond our wildest dreams!
So get ready… God wants to do a work in you and He wants to do it BIG!!!
Christ commanded His church to observe communion… But why is it important?
In this Communion Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to a Thursday night that changed the world. As we see Jesus making a new covenant with His disciples through communion, we see the beauty that would come after the chaos of the cross.
What seemed like a day of defeat would become a day of victory! And when it seemed that death had won, salvation triumphed!
We observe communion because Jesus asked us to remember Him… And when the cost of salvation was so high, we can’t afford to forget!
Our eyes must be FIXED on our Savior!
In this very special message Dr. Randy Smith brings a powerful word on what it truly means to follow Jesus and look to him as our guide in the darkness.
Teaching primarily from the book of Revelation, Dr. Smith shows us that Revelation is the revealing of WHO Jesus is before it is the revealing of what will happen as God closes the human program. We see that it is possible to FIND Jesus and not FOLLOW Jesus.
Our Savior is the lighthouse that signals the right shore. But the storm will overtake us if we don’t keep our eyes fixed on Him…
Happiness and joy might sound like the same thing, but they could not be more different!
In this message, we are joined by Guest Speaker, Pastor Ian Montalto. As Pastor Ian interviews students about their experiences with God at summer camp, we are brought to one important truth: happiness can fade, but joy in Jesus is secure.
Gleaning from the life of David, Pastor Ian teaches us that our circumstances will always change and often fail us… But our joy can be secure when we place it in God! Hope will never be found within ourselves. Rather, it’s found in the moments when we remain faithful to God in adversity, and place our hope in the hands of Jesus.
Our God is a God of promises. But how do we unlock those promises in order to receive what He wants to give us?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through a powerful recap of Factory Church’s Serve Week. As we celebrate all the ways this house was able to serve and give back to the community, we come back to this powerful biblical truth: our giving unlocks God’s promise of blessing toward us!
Over and over again, the Bible tells us that we should never turn our backs on those in need. And neither should we be grieved when we give! Because for our faithfulness, God has promised and abundance of blessing to us in everything we put our hands to!
God stands watch over His Word to perform it… So we hold tight to His promise today that the more we love and serve the least of these, the more God will pour out a harvest of blessing on us! He has made the promise… Unlock it today!
God is powerful enough to perform massive miracles on His own… So why does He so often choose to involve us?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to a story most of us know very well—the feeding of the 5,000. And while many of us would say Jesus is the one who fed the crowd that day, a closer look shows us the truth… The DISCIPLES fed the crowd!
While Jesus performed the miracle of multiplying the loaves and fish, He handed off the miracle to the disciples so THEY could carry it to those around them. And nothing about that has changed today!
Jesus is still performing miracles in our lives every day for this one purpose: so we can carry them to others to bring hope, life, and freedom! Our miracles our not just our own… We’re meant to carry them to others!
Some moments require strength… Some require gentleness… But every moment requires discernment!
In this special Sabbath Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us to a story we know very well: the woman caught in adultery in John 8. As we watch Jesus diffuse a tense situation with love, we become aware of this important truth: every interaction we engage in requires supernatural discernment on how to act!
Too many of us get lost in fighting battles that don’t matter, or not fighting for the things that do. As we find freedom and grow in the mind and character of Christ, it is our duty to use His holy discernment to know how to act in every situation.
So begin to exchange your mind for the mind of Christ! And let His discernment follow you into every interaction you have with those around you!
A little gratitude goes a long way… In fact, it changes EVERYTHING!
In this message, we are joined by guest speaker Pastor Kenny Mills! Pastor Kenny is a close friend and brother of this house, and he pulls us deep into James 2 and what it means to serve not only with your head and heart…but with your hands!
Too often we lose the wonder of salvation, and just what a GIFT we’ve been given in the resurrection of Jesus. But constant gratitude should be our response to God’s incredible generosity to us! So much so, that it should overflow into how we love and serve those around us!
So stop and take a look around! Look at all that God has given you and allowed you to be a part of… And then lift up a shout of, “Thank you!”
They say thankfulness can change your life… Turns out, it can change EVERYTHING!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us on a deep dive of 1 Corinthians 1-2. As we explore the unsearchable wisdom of God, we learn that the Almighty has revealed His wisdom to us through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. And as we receive the Spirit of God, we receive the very mind of Christ!
We can’t seek God through human wisdom… But we can know His very thoughts toward us through the power of the Spirit!
Let us receive the mind of Christ today, so that every moment can be lived in a life of praise! A life of thankfulness! A life of alleluia!
We’ve been told too often to not get our hopes up… But scripture tells us having high hopes is exactly what we SHOULD be doing!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to Pentecost and the moment God poured out the Holy Spirit on His church in Jerusalem. That influx of power, energy, excitement, and hope did not go unnoticed then… And neither does it go unnoticed now!
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit couldn’t remain locked in the upper room, nor can it remain locked inside of us today! As the Holy Spirit overflows out of each of us, we receive the assurance to come BOLDLY before the throne of God, with great confidence!
There’s no need to fear being in the presence of the Almighty when He’s given us the greatest gift… All He wants is our hearts in return!
In a world constantly vying for your attention, today’s most precious commodity is time.
In this message, Pastor Mike Griffin teaches us not only how precious our time is to our family and friends, but also how precious it is to God. Teaching from Luke 10, Pastor Mike shows us that while the gifts of food Martha gave to Jesus were valued, the gift of Mary’s time and attention at Christ’s feet was worth even more!
So while presents can be nice, the gift of your PRESENCE means so much more!
So take time to slow down and be present with those around you today, Factory! And above all, be present at the feet of Jesus!
How do we get back on track when the wind is knocked out of our sails?
We come BOLDLY before God’s throne!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined by a daughter of this house, Chrissy Zittinger, who is embarking on a teaching mission to the country of Uganda. As we celebrate the mission Chrissy is setting off on, we also look at the missions God has given each of us.
Drawing from Joshua, Nehemiah, and Hebrews, Pastor Andy teaches us that God equips us for our missions through the power of His Word! And just as Chrissy is setting off with great courage, so can we come with courage before His throne when we are in need!
God has given us His Word as a means to learn, draw strength, be encouraged, and above all — know Him. So dive into his Word, Factory! And be filled with great courage and boldness!
Often we pray for God to help us see others how He sees them… But how often do we ask him to help us see OURSELVES through His eyes?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us that the power of the Church to love others begins with letting Jesus love us. Teaching from Peter’s restoration to Jesus in John 21 after having denied him, we learn that accepting the unconditional grace of Jesus is the launching point for loving and making a difference for those around us!
We cannot give until we first learn receive! And learning to love others begins with learning to love ourselves!
So receive His love and grace today, Factory! And pray for God to help you see yourself as He sees you: called, chosen, set apart, and LOVED!
Moms are miracles workers on earth… But even miracle workers need miracles sometimes.
In this special Mother’s Day message, Pastor Andy Williamson pulls us into a testimony from right here within our house. As JD and Anjuli Richardson share the story of Anjuli’s miraculous healing after two strokes, were reminded that God is heavily at work in the restoration business.
Not only did the enemy tried to steal from Anjuli — he also tried to steal from a mother in Luke 7 who lost her only son! But just as Jesus stepped in to restore what that mother had lost, so did He step in to restore Anjuli’s life with a MIRACLE!
It turns out God loves our moms even more than we do! And these miracle workers often need miracles of their own… And our God is so faithful to stand by them!
Here’s to a Heavenly Father with a heart for moms!
How far you can go always stems from where you’re rooted!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to the root of Factory’s wild giving and heart for others! As we recount our church’s experience through Covid-19, Pastor Andy explains just why Factory has experienced unprecedented blessing and growth during this time… Because of our passion for serving those in need.
As we obey God’s command to love and care for one another, we receive His promises of blessing and provision! It turns out we can’t out-give God…and it all starts with an unshakable and deeply rooted trust in the truth of His promises.
So remember where you’re rooted, Factory… And watch as those roots shoot up without limits!
We often hope for peace…strength…joy…salvation… But Jesus wants to ASSURE us of those things!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson take us back to the days immediately following Christ’s death and resurrection. As he teaches about the encounter two men on the road to Emmaus had with Jesus, as well as the encounter Thomas “the Doubter” had with Jesus, we learn something very important: Jesus wants to ASSURE us of His love.
Whereas each of these individuals were broken by their fear, doubt, and despair, Jesus went out of His way to meet them, assure them, and restore them. And He will do the same for you today!
So cast all your fears on Him! He wants to remove what burdens you and assure you of these unchangeable truths: He loves you. He died for you. He rose again. And He wants to fill you with His Spirit!
We don’t have to hope! We are ASSURED!
If you thought the Easter story was an unlikely one, just as unlikely are some of its biggest players!
In this special Easter message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to where the salvation story comes to a climax. As we relive the brutality of the cross and the joy of the resurrection, we’re reminded of the cost of our freedom, and the glory of the victory Christ claimed when He walked out of the tomb!
But let us not forget two players in this story that we often overlook… The repentant thief on the cross, and Mary Magdalen who was the first to see the risen Lord.
God takes joy in using the most unlikely of people during the most unthinkable of His miracles! And just as He chose the broken and unqualified then, He’s ready to use YOU now!
So don’t let the past disqualify you… But live READY to be used by the unthinkable power of our risen King!
Happy Easter!
If you’ve ever been in a crowd, you know how contagious the feeling of excitement can be! And even MORE so when it comes to celebrating our King!
In this special Palm Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. As we see how the crowds responded to the promise of a deliverer, we learn how being in the presence of our Savior radiates contagious excitement and JOY!
It’s that same affectionate love that drove Jesus to wash the disciples feet at Passover… And it’s the same affectionate love that drives us to serve our brothers and sisters around us.
The promise of the new covenant is one of unity with our Savior, Factory! The promise of reconnection, restoration, and REVIVAL!
He didn’t come to leave you empty… But to fill you with a life and love so great it overflows from you! Accept it today!
God prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies… But where do we let Him sit at the table?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through Psalms 23 and the beautiful picture David paints of the table God sets before us. But what many of us tend to forget is that even though God sets the table, that doesn’t mean He’s the server! He’s the HEAD!
Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit, but it’s up to us to give Him a seat at our table…as we serve HIM! Not the other way around!
So make room at your table today, Factory, and give the Holy Spirit His place!
We know the importance of going to church, but what do we do when attending church is not enough?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through a story we know oh-so-well…David and Goliath. As we look at this story with fresh eyes, we see what so many of us haven’t understood: that power is in an ENCOUNTER with the Savior!
Just attending church isn’t going to bring you victory in battle… But operating from an ENCOUNTER with the Holy Spirit ensures you are operating FROM victory!!!
When we encounter the Spirit, we are never the same! So don’t focus just on your attendance, friends…but chase after an ENCOUNTER with the Savior!
When someone can’t hear you, what’s the first thing you do?
It turns out, God starts speaking louder, too.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through the POWERHOUSE of Psalms 29-30 and Ephesians 1. As we marvel at the power, glory, and majesty of the God we serve, Pastor Andy teaches us that often God uses circumstances around to grab our attention. He is present in the disruptions!
As we learn to release the things we hold on to so tightly, our hands are opened to receive the blessings God is trying to pour out on us! As we release the things that bind us, we find FREEDOM and POWER in our Savior!
So listen up, church! God is speaking — can you hear Him?!
We’re putting on a garment of praise! ✨ Sunday’s podcast and video are live! ⚡️
In scripture, what you wore on the outside reflected how you felt on the inside… So when we say we’re putting on a garment of praise, we’re declaring the goodness of God in our lives!!!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us the power of praise, and the power of allowing God to move us from a place of brokenness into a place or PRAISE and RESTORATION!
God has given us His promise! A promise of hope, of fullness, of power, of abundance! He will give us beauty for ashes… The oil of joy for morning… And a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair!
So get dressed, Factory! And put on your garment of praise!
Scripture says that where there is no vision, people perish. Which tells us that God isn’t a God of past…but of FUTURE!
In this special Vision Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us on a journey through what God has accomplished through Factory Church in 2021. And as we celebrate those wins, we look forward and cast vision into the greater things to come in 2022!
May we never grow complacent in what yesterday and today have for us… But may we always look to the future for the powerful things God wants to do in our lives!
His vision for us is so much greater than our own… So we look up and look forward toward what God is going to do next!
It’s always so easy to believe the lies Satan says about us… But why is it so hard to accept the truth God speaks about us?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us on a New Testament journey of the undeniable TRUTH of how God sees each and every one of us: forgiven, delivered, sanctified, made new, covered, and LOVED!
The journey to freedom starts with being able to identify the lies of the enemy… And when we do, we expose him for the liar he is! And we rest in the immovable anchor of our Savior and who He says we are! We are HIS!
So don’t listen to the lies, Church! You are LOVED!
We start loving differently when we understand God’s love for us…
In this special Valentine’s Day message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through Christ’s prayer over the disciples in John 17. As we unpack Jesus’ words in this passage, we feel the full weight of knowing that God loves us just as much as He loves His only Son!
Understanding how much God loves us changes the way we love our neighbor. And it changes the way we love ourselves!
Everything begins and ends in love… The love the Father has for us!
We know that Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit at Pentecost… But have we ever stopped to ask why?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through the mind-shattering works of the apostles in the book of Acts. As Pastor Andy breaks down the early church’s ability to cause a revolution through house-to-house discipleship, he shows us why this is so important to God: because WE are God’s plan for a hurting world!
The gift of peace, hope, and comfort in the Spirit wasn’t given for us to hang on to… It was given so that we could share it with those who do not have it!
There is only one hope for a world that is broken and hurting… And His name is Jesus! And as we receive His comfort that makes us whole again, may we eagerly share it with all who need it!
There’s great power in who God calls us… And He calls us BELOVED!
In this special Baptism Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us even deeper into what it means to be called “Beloved.” Oftentimes, we believe abundance means the material things that impress our friends or family. But true abundance comes from receiving what God has spoken over us, and WHO He says we are!
Teaching from Isaiah 49 and Romans 8, Pastor Andy shows us that God has not forgotten or forsaken us, and He never will. God loves us more than we could imagine, and He has supplied us with all we need, no matter what life throws at us!
When we accept this and receive Jesus as our Savior, our names are forever inscribed into His hand…the hand of the One who calls us BELOVED!
We all have a name… But have you ever stopped to consider what God calls you?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through Paul’s letter of Romans. As we read Paul’s words to the church in Rome, we cling to what he says we are called as children of God: BELOVED!
Each and every one of us has been called to belong to Jesus! Called let the world know that God is singing over them, and tell them of the immeasurable love God has for them!
After all, Jesus wouldn’t have done what He did if it wasn’t for love… He wouldn’t have laid down His life and risen again if it wasn’t for someone He thought was very special… You!
His BELOVED!
We all have someone on speed dial… But when life brings you to your lowest moments, who will you call?
In this special message, a pillar of this house, Coach Crockett, teaches us what it looks like to have Christ as our rock and our anchor. Through both scriptural and personal testimony, Coach Crockett teaches us that while our circumstances may bring us low, and the people around us may let us down, Jesus is our steady anchor in the storm!
There is NO other name in which we can put our trust! Through life’s trails and unexpected storms, we cling to the Rock that never moves! To our closest friend and ever-present help!
At the midnight hour, we find our hope in the name of JESUS!
As a new year begins, we join the ranks of millions of others setting resolutions to be better versions of themselves.
But what if that best version of yourself came not from what you did…but from what someone else has already done?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined by one of the newest members of the Factory family, Pj Green. Through Pj’s testimony of God’s grace and reconciliation in the face of addiction, Pastor Andy brings to our attention something longtime believers often forget about: the idea of being made NEW!
2 Corinthians tells us that we are NEW creations in Christ! The old has gone and the new has come! And as we walk in the newness of who God has called us to be, our job becomes to share that reconciliation with those around us!
So let’s remember to be new every day, Factory! And point the world back to the One who makes all things new!
There is power in finding the song inside of you… Especially when circumstances do all they can to keep you quiet!
In this message we are joined by our very own Mike Griffin. Through the story of Paul and Silas’ miraculous night in prison, Mike shows us that hope is found in any situation when we refuse to stop praising our God in the good times and the bad!
And what’s more, the miracles praise brings don’t just set us free… They being freedom to those around us also!
So don’t hold back your song of praise, Factory! Lift a joyful noise to the Lord no matter where you are! Sing your praise and watch as the Savior goes to battle for you!
We are always quick to believe that God has purpose for our lives… But how often do we consider that that purpose comes through a process?
In this message we are joined by guest speaker, Pastor Eric Burris. Pastor Eric takes on a scriptural and personal journey of how time and time again, God’s purpose was fulfilled by walking through often difficult circumstances. And while God is not punishing us when bad things happen, His grace walks with us as He fulfills the promises He’s spoken over us!
May the pressures of life do nothing but bring forth the spirit of grace God has put inside us! In all things, may we never forget that God has a purpose for us. And may we never be afraid the process of discovering it!
We all wonder what it would be like to be royalty… But there’s a King out there who wanted to be like us.
In this special message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through the Christmas story in a whole new way. As we dig into the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth, we learn that Christ was born right in the middle of uncertainty, doubt, fear, anxiety, and pain… But when He arrived, He brought with Him HOPE!!!
And in the same way Christ brought hope that night in Bethlehem, He brings the hope of Heaven to YOU today — wherever you are!
Our Savior is born, Factory! He knows and understands everything we’re going through, and He has overcome it! So hold out your hands in surrender today, and receive His free gift of love and life!
How many of us wake up hoping for our day to be disrupted?
It turns out, not enough of us.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through Luke 1 and the story of an incredible promise given to Zachariah and Elizabeth: that even in their old age, they would have a son. And not just any son, but the one who would prepare the way of the Lord!
Having a baby didn’t come the way Zachariah and Elizabeth expected it to… Just like oftentimes our plans don’t go the way we want them to. But in life’s disruptions is where we find our Savior! And if we’ll let Him, God will take those disruptions and turn them into a blessing far greater than we can imagine.
So hang on, Factory! And get ready for a heavenly disruption!
Sometimes the story of a miracle serves to remind us that miracles DO still happen today!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson concludes his teaching on the miracle of Hanukkah, and why, as Christians, we should celebrate this important holiday. As Pastor Andy recounts the miracle that took place when God’s light shone for eight days among His people, we are reminded that in the same way, God’s light HAS always and WILL always continue to shine in our lives!
Scripture says that the “Light of the World” Himself came to dwell among us… And even when darkness tried to crush Him, it could not hold Him!
Our Savior is alive today, Factory! And may the miracle of Hanukkah always serve to remind us that He is WITH us!
You don’t often see Christian churches celebrating Hanukkah… But why not?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson take us on a journey about the story of Hanukkah. As he teaches us the history and meaning of this traditionally Jewish holiday, we learn that the heart of it is something we should be celebrating every day: God’s presence and provision!
Just as the Jews rededicated the temple to God, so do we rededicate ourselves to our Savior and His work! We celebrate that He will never leave us nor forsake us, and that even in the midst of chaos, He is ALWAYS with us!
Happy Hanukkah!
No one enjoys being left out…
And it turns out, Jesus doesn’t like leaving people out either.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through the the Gospel account of the healing of the paralytic in Capernaum. In the midst of outcasts, misfits, and sinners, Jesus performs one of His most memorable miracles: telling a paralyzed man to get up and walk!
We serve a God who came not for the saved, but for sinners! And His Spirit is present to heal us even now! And just as He meets us where we are, we are called to meet our fellow men where they are with the life-giving message of hope in Jesus.
Jesus came for the publicans and the sinners! Jesus came for YOU!
Communion is an important part of the spiritual walk of every believer. After all, Christ commanded us to do it in remembrance of Him.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined by guest speaker, Dr. Randy Smith. Through the testimony of Jesus’ final hours before the cross, Dr. Smith unpacks for us just what Christ was trying to teach His disciples in the upper room.
There is no room for self-centeredness at the foot of the cross! In the ultimate example of selflessness and service, Jesus shows us what it means to love in the truest sense of the word. And it’s His love so great that we remember every time we break the bread of His body and drink the wine of His blood at Communion.
He paid it all for us, Church! Today, we honor and remember the sacrifice Jesus paid for us at the cross. The sacrifice which set us free!
The difference between victory and defeat in your life rests on this: knowing WHOSE you are!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us something we tend to so easily forget… That difficulties aren’t there to be avoided at all costs. They are there for us to learn and grow from as our Savior walks through them with us!
So why do we so often let challenging circumstances break us down?
Because we take our eyes off Jesus and who He’s told us we are in Him: sons and daughters of the most high KING!
Through the promise of scripture, Pastor Andy reminds us that in the midst of our challenges, we are to run to a Savior who is MORE than enough! He has taken the curse of sin upon Himself so that we may claim our inheritance and receive the promise of His Spirit!
So with our eyes open and fixed on the One who‘s over it all, we run toward the life of victory we’re called to… One that rests on knowing we are HIS!
We often we fall short of our purpose, simply because we are holding onto our past! In this weeks message Pastor Andy teaches us that we put on a disguise for acceptance, affirmation, and love but forget who we really are! God built us uniquely in His image!
Through his own personal experience with continuing health challenges, Pastor Andy also shows us that we must know our Enemy. Our true Enemy! Teaching from Ephesians 6 we see how often we end up fighting the wrong thing. We fight against people and our circumstances…but our fight is in the Spiritual! And it’s a battle that has already been won.
As we turn our eyes towards our Savior, the One who paid it ALL, who conquered death and DEFEATED the grave, we find true strength, identity, and VICTORY.
We must fight from the SPIRITUAL when we can longer fight in the NATURAL!
This week Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through his own personal journey of battling illness and what it means to stand firm in the promises of God despite the circumstances.
Teaching from Philippians, he shows us Paul’s incredible perspective how in the midst of suffering, God is still moving, working, and worthy of our praise! Paul still fought from the Spiritual even when he could no longer fight from the natural!!!
This gives us as believers the incredible opportunity to shift our focus. God has not called us to fear and anxiety…but to peace!
May our praise always be a sweet sound to His ears, no matter the circumstance!
We all face fear… But how do we choose to respond to it?
In this message, guest speaker Pastor Joel Johnson takes us on a journey through fear’s effects on our minds, bodies, and spirits. Through the lens of scripture, he shows us that while we can’t always control whether we feel fear, we can ALWAYS control how we respond to it! And as we claim God’s promises and choose courage through the power of prayer, we become the mighty conquerors we were always intended to be!
Fear no longer has hold of us! Chains will be loosed today, for the old has gone and the new has come! Our God has overcome!
There’s a time for talking and a time for action. And that distinction makes all the difference.
We are joined in this message by guest speaker, Ian Montalto — Factory Church’s Youth Director. As Ian takes us through all the amazing things our youth ministry has done over recent weeks and months, he paints one distinct picture: NONE of it would be possible if someone had not moved toward someone else they saw in need.
The Church is not called to be a country club; it is called to be a hospital for those desperately seeking a Savior!
So today we say we’ve had enough talk! It is time to MOVE on behalf of our children! Our families! Our friends! Our neighbors! Even our enemies! Our God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us, so we can BOLDLY say He is our helper! And so we can move with confidence toward the mission we’ve been given: to make disciples from here to the ends of the earth!
We might not run into danger for someone else... But we always hope someone will do so for us.
In this First Responder Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson sits down with fireman, Jacob Wilburn. Together, they discuss the heart of a first responder, and just how closely it mirrors the heart of the greatest first responder to ever live: Jesus Christ.
No matter your age, race, past, or financial status, a first responder‘s only thought is to save your life. So is Jesus’.
So today we honor those who risk their lives every day to keep us safe, as well as the One who paid it ALL so we could live eternally! It’s through His spirit that our hearts catch fire. But not a fire to destroy; a fire to make NEW!
Let this be your day for rescue! And let the greatest first responder ever reach out His hand to pull you up!
There comes a time when you’re done with the ordinary. When you’re worn out from going through the motions.
And if that’s where you are right now, this message is for you.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson speaks to what God has been preparing us for: a season of HARVEST! He grounds us in the promise of Hebrews 13:5-6, and lays out five prophetic truths about what God is trying to do in each and every one of us this season!
So get ready, Church… The time has come. We release all fear and trepidation for BOLDNESS and NEW BREATH in our lungs! We dream bigger than we dare, and step out in faith because the time for talking is DONE!
This is our season! This is our moment! So buckle up, Church… And get ready for what’s to come!!!
“How are you doing?”
“I’m fine, and you?”
“I’m good, thanks.”
That’s usually where the conversation ends. But are we doing fine, REALLY?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson does away with all ceremony. In a raw and intimate conversation, he addresses what so many of us feel but don’t often acknowledge: the spirit of confusion and fear that has gripped our land.
As God completely changes the script in real time, Pastor Andy speaks to the heart of what the whole world is battling today. He shows us what it means to believe God is at work even when circumstances try to convince us of the opposite, and even when things don’t go according to our plan.
In a time of turmoil and confusion, Pastor Andy reminds us that too often we seek the mind of God and forget His heart; the very heart that beats as ours do, and feels every pang of emotion that we feel!
God is not just with us during this time — He us FOR US!!! No matter how seemingly far off track our circumstance veer, God remains perfectly in control. He calls to us through the chaos and reminds us it’s HIM our eyes must be fixed on. It’s HE that holds it all together!
And His plan is perfect!
There are moments when we feel that all is lost… When the enemy seems to have had his way and left a wake of sorrow and destruction in his path.
But we know better.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson recalls the tragedy that occurred 20 years ago on September 11th, 2001, as well as the heartache in Jerusalem the few days after Jesus’ death and burial.
When all seemed lost, Pastor Andy reminds us of the earth-shattering event that occurred when Jesus came out of the grave on that beautiful Sunday morning! It changed EVERYTHING!
No longer are we bound by fear! No longer do we bow to sorrow and grief!
Where the enemy tries to steal our joy, we are AWAKENED to the promise of renewal and restoration! Our God is still on the throne, and He isn’t finished with us yet! May we live every day in the promise of the life He came to give us… A life of abundance, where we can say we are free, INDEED!
Disruptions are the worst, aren’t they? Just when things are going according to plan, an interruption gets things turned around in a way we don’t want.
But what if we told you it’s in disruptions that God operates best?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us how to see life’s disruptions not as obstacles…but as opportunities for God to get our attention and move on our behalf! Along with his daughter, Olivia, he takes us through Philippians 4 and the idea of doing ALL things through Christ who strengthens us — even when things don’t go according to plan.
The best part? This service takes on a life of its own as God shows up and derails the plans we set for it!
This is Scripture unfolding before our eyes! This is God on the move! Don’t miss the moments you where created for — they may come in ways you didn’t expect! May you always be ready for life’s interruptions!
You can’t value where you are if you don’t honor where you come from.
In this message, we listen in on a powerful and timely conversation between Pastor Andy Williamson and Dr. Joe Brown. As Pastor Andy’s mentor and friend, Dr. Brown gives us a behind-the-scenes look at not just how Factory started, but WHY this church exists to begin with!
As we listen in on Pastor Andy and Dr. Brown’s conversation, we learn just what it means to reflect the character of God to a generation looking for hope. It’s not always easy to rise up to the calling God places on your life… But the when you do, the harvest is ETERNAL!
May we continue to decrease so our Savior can increase! And may we charge forward in the knowledge that the God of power, mercy, and victory goes before us!
Kids say they want to be like us when they grow up… But really, we’re called to be like them.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us from Mark 10:13-16. Through Christ’s words about children seeking to be near Him, Pastor Andy reveals the often overlooked truths of this simple passage.
Whether it’s in their full dependency on others, their thirst for life and adventure, their immediate love for everyone they meet, or how they seek of protection under the wings of their parents, children set one of the ultimate examples for us in love and faith! So it’s no wonder Jesus said that “of such is the Kingdom of God!”
So remember the faith of your youth, Factory! Leave behind the brokenness and shame that try to tell you you’re not good enough… Simply run to the arms of the Father ready to brush you off and set you on your feet again!
And remember: trusting Jesus was never meant to be complicated. All it takes is the faith of a child!
They say to come boldly before God’s throne… But why should we?
Because…we BELONG there!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues his series on coming boldly into the presence of God. Pastor Andy teaches us that God’s invitation to come boldly before Him is at odds with the words of the accuser… Whereas Satan tries to remind us that we’re not good enough to earn God’s love, God reminds us that He not only loves us — but He is PROUD and EAGER to call us His!
We have to understand and receive the mercy of God in order to walk in His grace… We have to be willing to RECEIVE the gifts of freedom from our past and the riches of Heaven on Christ’s behalf. And once we do, we can’t help but overflow with that grace into the lives of those around us!
So don’t listen to the lies! Don’t listen Satan’s falsehoods! You are not just loved — you are proudly claimed as a child of the Most High God! And don’t forget it!
No one likes going through tough times... And that’s why most of us miss out on the blessings God is trying to give us through them.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues his series on coming BOLDLY into the presence of God. He dives deeper into Hebrews 4 to show us that many of us have allowed ourselves to become complacent with living average lives... Whether through hurt, pain, weariness, or any other factor, we have somehow forgotten to chase after the lives of wonder and abundance God has for us!
As we come BOLDLY to the throne of God, He pours out His mercy, grace and healing over us. So much so, that we overflow into the culture around us and begin to shift it from within!
That’s why we don’t shy away from the tough things — because we have a God who is able to triumph over any circumstance! We declare His name over fear, over hate, over sorrow, over anger, over racism...
Jesus over EVERYTHING!
You weren’t made for a life of average. But receiving a life of abundance doesn’t start with doing something... It starts with receiving what’s already been DONE.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through the book of Hebrews and the invitation Christ extends to us to come BOLDY before God’s throne!
Our Father is EXTREMELY interested in your life. So much so, that He gave His only Son to pay the ultimate price for your heart! And that same spirit that that rose Jesus from the grave lives in us, turning every challenge into an OPPORTUNITY to show God’s love and mercy to those around us!
The ultimate intercessor is on our side, Factory! And we don’t have to beg for His attention — He invites us to come BOLDY into His presence and receive the blessing He wants to give us! Come boldly and receive it today!
It’s natural to be timid in the presence of a king... But who is this King who calls you to come BOLDLY into His presence?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson reminds us just what kind of God we serve. He is the Son of the Most High, the Creator of All, the Light of the World, the Lamb of God, the Resurrection and the Life, the Victorious One...
And our Father.
Through the lens of the book of Hebrews, Pastor Andy reminds us of the majesty of the God we worship! And He reminds us that as His children, we can come BOLDLY into the presence of the King with no fear or trepidation!
He is FOR you, Factory! Never against you! The riches of Christ have been given to us through Jesus’ sacrifice — all we have to do is accept it!
A home can say a lot about a person... What does your spiritual home say about you?
In this message, Factory is joined by Guest Speaker, Pastor Mike Griffin. Pastor Mike takes us through Mark 2 and the story of the paralytic man lowered through a roof to meet Jesus, to then be healed and forgiven in full sight of everyone present!
Through this, Pastor Mike teaches us what the Bible says about how we build and steward our spiritual “homes”. He shows us that while we are promised storms in this life, the foundation of Jesus will hold strong through EVERY circumstance! It is only with the vision that comes from Jesus that we can build into the abundant future God has planned for us.
And don’t forget — experiencing Jesus isn’t just about us! After we make Jesus our foundation, our job becomes to invite OTHERS into His presence! To lead them into their own miraculous experience with the Savior! And as we set the table for these meetings to happen, the world begins to change around us!
If someone asked you for the difference between freedom and victorious freedom, would you be able to give them an answer?
Unfortunately, many can’t.
In this 4th of July message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through a list of ingredients needed to find the victorious freedom so many are after! He takes us on a comprehensive journey through scripture to show us that it takes perception, knowledge of our weapon and how to wield it, understanding of HOW to fight our battle, and meditation on God’s Word find freedom not as the world gives it, but as God does!
On a day when so many celebrate freedom, we remember that you can live in a free country and still be a slave to sin. But our Savior came to liberate us, and He stands ready to give us that freedom even now!
Because freedom comes at a cost... But Jesus saw you on the cross and chose to pay that price your YOU. Accept the gift today!
The line between religion and relationship can often appear blurred... And yet, its consequences could not be more apparent!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through Mark 10. As he walks us through the encounters Christ has throughout this chapter, Pastor Andy reveals just what it is that’s found at the heart of each of them: the difference between “checking off a list” and surrendering your whole heart to God.
Religion tries to tell us that checking off a list of dos/don’ts will justify us before God; RELATIONSHIP says that God will meet us right where we are! You see, we can know submission without holiness... We can have the wrong heart and do the right things... But we cannot have a surrendered heart without the fruit that flows from surrender!
So don’t let a list get in the way, Factory! What God is after is your HEART! Surrender that to Him today, and prepare to receive the greatest treasure you can imagine!
Dad... It’s much more than a title. It’s a calling.
In this special Father’s Day message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined onstage by two special guests: his own dad, Pastor Jerry Williamson, and his young son, Spencer Williamson.
Seated around a table, these men of God discuss just what it means to walk in the holy calling of a Father. Pastor Andy and Pastor Jerry give testimony of the incredible hand of God upon their family spanning generations, and with Spencer, they look to the future and call upon fathers to rise up to the miraculous calling God has placed on their lives!
Today, we stand by our fathers and cover them in prayers of anointing and protection! May they pour their whole hearts into leading their families boldly on behalf of the Kingdom, and may their children rise up and lead in the steps of their example!
If life were a boxing match, you wouldn’t want to walk in unprepared, would you? So what does it take to make it through 12 rounds of life and come out on top?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us that it doesn’t just take grit to succeed, and it doesn’t just take grace... It takes a powerful combination of BOTH to deliver a deadly blow against the enemy!
As Pastor Andy takes us through scripture’s guidance on war, he reminds us that our fight is never against each other. Rather, we wage war in the spiritual against the powers of the enemy! He’s the one who seeks to divide, and it’s up to us to arm ourselves with the grit to keep pushing through, and the grace to love others as we do so!
So glove up, Factory! We can’t promise you’re in for an easy fight, but here’s the good news... The fight is rigged! You have ALREADY seized the victory through the power of Christ when He overcame the grave!
So while this fight won’t last forever, remember: we can still get some good punches in while we wait for the day of Jesus’ return!!!
“You’re off the mark... That’s not good enough... You need to do THIS...”
How many times have words like these discouraged growing believers? Or even worse — caused them walk away from the Church?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through Matthew 23 and Jesus’ reproval of Pharisees who not only spoke one way and acted another, but also caused others to stumble by binding them up in their own rules and traditions. Christ did not speak lightly against these hypocrites, going as far as to call them children of hell.
We’ve missed the point if we see a relationship with Jesus as a never ending list of things to do or actions to avoid! Above all, our Savior is after our HEARTS! What’s the best part? He doesn’t wait for you to clean yourself up or get your act together before he’ll accept you... He will pursue you in love and meet you right where you are!
So don’t make it about your works — we cannot earn salvation through them! Make it about your heart... GOD’S heart... And let that be what sets you apart!
Life is made of moments... And sometimes, moments that take your breath away.
In this special message, Pastor Andy Williamson is joined onstage by Daniel Lee Baker. What Daniel doesn’t know is that Factory has been working hard on his behalf over several weeks, preparing an RV to once and for all end Daniel’s fight with homelessness.
To say the reveal is emotional would be an understatement.
Thank you, Daniel, for teaching us what it means to remember others and remind them of their God-given identity and purpose! Because of you, we’ve learned what it truly means to be rich in spirit!
Don’t forget to make moments, Factory! And remember to make them with the ones God has placed in your life!
We’ve all heard it: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
But what does that mean?
In this special Child Dedication Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson shows us what it means to truly entrust all we have to God. As we see parents dedicating their children to the God who gave them, we are reminded that it is our first priority to seek the Savior above all else. As we do that, God will be the one who adds the rest!
Flowers don’t labor, yet look how God clothes them! Birds don’t sow or reap, but God still feeds them! And how much more valuable are we to God!
So give it all to Him today, Factory! Make it your mission to chase after our Savior first and foremost, and see the amazing ways He provides for all your needs!
There are a lot of things we hope for in life: success, money, relationships, experiences...
But what we do we not need to hope for? Assurance in the love of our Savior!
In this powerful message, Pastor Andy Williamson invites specials guests, Rick and Derrick Pegram, to the stage. As these men share their testimonies of battling cancer and the near-death experience of Derrick’s son, hearts are moved by evidence of the miracle-working God!
If you have ever wondered if God hears you, and if you’ve ever doubted the promise that He remembers you — this message is for you. Where the enemy seeks to bring death, our Savior is here to bring you life! And He is more alive and at work than ever!
Have you ever faced such heartache that all you can ask yourself is, “Is this even worth it?”
If you answered “Yes”, you are not alone.
In this special Mother’s Day message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1. He doesn’t leave us hanging on the despair of Hannah as she pleads with God for a child, however... Instead, Pastor Andy shifts our perspective to how God used the heart of a mother to change the history of a nation and the world as we know it!
It was a heart of loving others that moved the Almighty on His throne! Through all pain, sorrow, and uncertainty — NONE is worthy of every moment than God Himself! And as we begin to release our hearts to Him...with every good and bad thing that burdens them...something beautiful begins to happen: the power of God comes overflowing out of us!
So today, give it ALL to Him! Give Him your pain, your heartache, your joy, your peace and your praise — He is worthy of every bit of it!
Life has a way of draining us... So much so, that it feels like we often don’t have enough left to face our circumstances.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through 2 Kings 4 and the story of a woman at the end of her rope. One encounter with a man of God shows her that not only did God see her in her struggle... He was supernaturally providing for her every need and preparing the way for a miracle!
If you are empty — count yourself blessed! God will not build upon an existing foundation; rather, He makes us new as He fills our empty vessels with His abundance! If you know you don’t have enough left for what life is demanding of you — REJOICE! We will ALWAYS have enough, because our Savior is MORE than enough!
There’s nothing better than a nice, juicy worm... (If you’re a fish, or course.) What’s not so nice? The sharp hook you didn’t know was on the other side of it!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through James 1. He shows us that while many believers have trusted Jesus for a long time, not all of them have grown to the spiritual maturity that God desires for us. And when we continually allow trials and challenges to pass us by without using them to grow, we become stuck in spiritual immaturity that makes us vulnerable to the distractions and traps of the enemy!
We know that Jesus has begun a good work in us, and that He WILL bring it to completion! So as we continue to focus our attention on Him, the baited hooks Satan presents to distract us no longer lure us away... Instead, we let go of those distractions by exposing Satan’s lies and standing firm in the promises and power of our Savior!
So we will not take the bait! You can keep your worms, Satan... Our Father has prepared for us a glorious feast!
What if we told you the challenges you’re facing aren’t attacks from the enemy? No, really!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us from the perspective of James, the brother of Jesus, as he writes to early believers facing great trials and adversity. We learn that while every good and perfect thing is, indeed, a gift from God, we often discount our challenges as attacks from Satan rather than seeing them as what they are: tools God is using to build our faith.
We must let go of the idea that the presence of God equals a life in comfort! The reality is, we MISS the great blessings of God when we turn and run from our challenges rather than facing them!
So today we hold fast to our Savior, and weather the storms of life as we trust in the One who’s walking by our side! A great blessing awaits on the other side of our challenges — we will no longer run away!
They say you can’t choose your family...
But what if we told you DO have a choice?
In this Baptism Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches us God’s definition of family, and the rich inheritance God has prepared for us as we surrender our lives to His love and lordship!
We have been made JOINT HEIRS with Christ, counted as CHILDREN of the Living God and King of the Universe! Our neighbor is no longer that — he is our brother, and the heavenly family of which we are now a part knows no end!
So we walk with all manner of BOLDNESS and CONFIDENCE, knowing that we are children of the King! Heirs to His glory and righteousness! We let go of what the enemy tries to name us, and declare in victory this simple truth: we are Sons and Daughters of God!
The inheritance is ours! Today, we claim it!
We can’t fully grasp the weight of the cross... The pain. The shame. The brutality.
So then, why would Jesus do it all over again in a heartbeat?
In this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to those moments in Jerusalem when Christ allowed Himself to not just be sacrificed, but murdered and brutalized by the very ones He was trying to save. Pastor Andy shows us how in spite of the pain and sorrow Jesus and the disciples endured on the Friday of the crucifixion, there was one thing keeping Him boldly moving toward the victory of Sunday...
YOU!!!
God has deemed us worthy of not just His affection, but of His ultimate love and sacrifice to buy us back from the sin we were bound in! Only Jesus was worthy enough to pay that price, and it’s YOU that He has deemed worthy to receive it!
So we rejoice in that we are His, and that He has called us by name!!! No matter our past, no matter our mistakes or present circumstances, Jesus looks at us and only one word crosses His lips: WORTHY!
When Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey, excitement, buzz, and emotion were so high that the very FABRIC of creation threatened to tear apart in the presence of the King! People cheered, celebrated, and rejoiced in anticipation of this: the moment the King would set them free.
And yet in spite of all the excitement...all of the buzz...not one person present understood the implications of that moment. This was not just a celebration... This was the moment heaven touched down!
In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us back to that day in Jerusalem. He shows us that in spite of the excitement of the Triumphal Entry, Christ’s heart was broken because the city did not understand the time of its visitation.
But today, we refuse to let these moments pass us by! Our God is fully alive and at work all around us — if we’ll open our eyes to see it! May we never get so caught up in our own lives and our own comfort that we do not hear when our Savior is at the door... This visitor isn’t just anyone — He is FREEDOM and REDEMPTION in our lives! And He isn’t on His way... He’s already here.
Don’t miss your moment!
God spoke to Moses on the mountain... And Jesus spoke to the disciples face-to-face...
But how can we know He’s with us today?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through Hebrews 12-13. He shows us that God’s will for our lives has never changed — we are meant to live in the love and fullness of knowing that our God is by our side!
Because not only is He the God of the fiery mountain... He is the God of the gentle whisper in the moments when we feel alone. The God of the universe walks beside us even now! He ALWAYS has and ALWAYS will! So we take courage today knowing we never fight alone! Our God will not forsake us!
If your Savior came to earth, paid the price for you, emerged victorious, and gave you the gift of eternal life FREE OF COST — you’d celebrate, wouldn’t you??
So why don’t we party more often?!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through the book of 1 Peter. He illuminates for us God’s desire for his children to REJOICE in the new life they’ve been given — so much so, that we can’t help but spread it like a wildfire to those around us!
But, unsurprisingly, the enemy is keenly interested in keeping that from happening... His weapon of choice? Our words.
When we allow the enemy to get a foothold in our lives, he sows division. He turns our joyful celebration into a group of confused believers who tear each other down.
BUT THAT’S NOT HOW WE PARTY! Today we commit to rebuking the spirit of division, malice, hypocrisy, and evil that the enemy is trying to sow! We commit to speaking LIFE and JOY over ourselves and others, knowing that we always have a reason to celebrate because of the love of our Savior!
So don’t let the enemy rain on your parade! Our King is victorious, and for that we’re going to PARTY!
Super strength...super speed...super vision...
But have you ever heard of super HOPE?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches from 1 Kings 18. He shows us that while there’s much to learn from Elijah’s great triumph over the prophets of Baal, it’s the later half of the story where things get real...
When we see Elijah, a giant of faith, fall prey to his own fear and anxiety...God’s love and character truly shine through! He finds Elijah where he is, and calls him out of that lonely place to walk in the power and confidence of the Almighty God!
And He’s calling us to do the same! In fact, the world NEEDS us to do the same!!! We each have a role to play in this great story of love and redemption, and God has given us the greatest super power of all — HOPE!
Hope is not for us keep, it’s for us to spread like wildfire to those around us! The King of Glory has already won the battle — and in Him alone we find our hope!
A lightbulb is no use without the electricity it needs to shine, right? So how can we expect to live in fullness when we’re not connect to the source of our supply?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through the powerful words of Paul in Romans 5 and 8. He illuminates for us the reason why we often find ourselves lethargic and empty in life... And it’s because we fail to activate to POWER of the one whose Spirit abides in us!
We weren’t meant to coast through life — we were created to live in FULLNESS and ABUNDANCE! We gain that abundance as we exchange our own spirit for the spirit of Jesus in us: the one that blew hell and the hades wide open, and that paid it all for the sake of love.
THAT is our source! THAT is our supply! THAT is our power restored!
In a world obsessed with the search for greatness, what exactly does it take to be great?
Fortunately for us, we don’t have to dig too far to find out!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches from Matthew 20 and the words Christ spoke to His disciples about what it takes to be great in the Kingdom of God. As it turns out, it’s not a matter of a strong prayer life or even outstanding faith that makes you great... It is the heart of LOVE with which you care for and serve others.
Our great calling as believers is to live in, operate in, and BECOME God’s love! And as we do this, we get to watch as mountains are move through the power of God’s heart INSIDE of us!
So we can’t hang on to our feelings! And we can’t, for that matter, hang onto our faith as a measure of greatness.
What we must hold fast to is LOVE — with no strings attached — and let our Savior be the One who calls us great.
Team: it’s critical. It’s necessary. It makes all the difference in our spiritual walk.
So then, why do we often find ourselves against the ones who should be our own teammates?
In this Super Bowl Sunday message, Pastor Andy Williamson examines the teams we often come across in church settings — from the ones who let the coach do all the playing, to the ones who don’t realize the enemy they’re up against is not each other.
Pastor Andy shows us the power of shifting our mentality away from our feelings and emotions, and refocusing on the mission and purpose we have been called to! He teaches us that as we line up shoulder-to-shoulder with our teammates, charging full-force at the enemy, hell and hades have to run in fear! And where the enemy tries to disqualify us through our past failures, no accusation can stick through the redeeming blood that Jesus shed for us!
So don’t stand on the sideline! Get in the game! And once you take the field — line up alongside your brothers knowing that together, ANYTHING is possible!
What would you do to see Jesus?
Better yet — what would seeing Jesus do to YOU?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson takes us through the story many of us know oh-so-well in Luke 19: the story of Zaccheus climbing a sycamore tree to see Jesus. However, whereas we might read this as a neat story and move on, Pastor Andy points out critical details that turn the story of a “wee, little man” in a tree into a beautiful picture of redemption.
So today we praise God for not only being on the move — but for stopping in his tracks when we strain to get a glimpse of Him! We operate today not out of fear, but out of JOY knowing that Jesus has reconciled us to Himself and made a way for us!
Like the story of Zaccheus teaches us, may it never be about our own plans or feelings... Rather, may it always be about the One who paid the price to set us free. May it always be about the TREE!
Everyone wants to be strong, right? Whether in our physical strength, our emotional strength, or our spiritual strength — often we are tempted to do things under our own power.
Which makes things very tricky when God’s definition of strength doesn’t match our own.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches from 2 Corinthians 12, showing us just what being “strong” means according to scripture. He shows us that while doing things under our own power tempts us each and every day, it’s only when we are weak that God’s strength and power are made perfect in us!
So don’t discount your challenges! Don’t discount your weaknesses! When we operate within the will and power of God, allowing His strength and grace to be perfected in us, AMAZING things begin to happen. Strongholds are broken apart, and prison walls come crashing down! So we will REJOICE in our weakness, for when we are weak...He is strong!
Storms are never considered a fun part of life... But what if in trying to just weather the storms, we miss out on what the storms can actually teach us?
In this message, pastor Andy Williamson walks us through Matthew 14 and the events surrounding Jesus’ miraculous walk on water. As we weigh the disciples’ responses to this miraculous event, we learn that it’s not always about the circumstances we find ourselves in — but rather, how we respond to them!
Following Jesus doesn’t mean we won’t face storms in life! Rather, we take great joy and courage knowing that the One who calls us out on the water is the very same Savior that walks with us through it. To Him be all honor, glory, and majesty forever!
All our lives, we’ve been taught that if we want something, we have to fight for it. But what if we’ve been looking at this whole thing backwards? What if we’ve got it all wrong?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson pulls back the curtain on what so many of us haven’t learned yet as believers. He teaches us that rather than operating TO a place of power and victory, we must operate FROM the power and victory we’ve already received!
We don’t need to wish or hope for breakthrough in our future — breakthrough is here NOW! Our God has claimed all power and victory, won when He walked out of the tomb and conquered the grave! That power lives in us TODAY!
As 2020 comes to a close, how do we move forward in 2021?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches from the words of Jesus in Luke chapter 4, when Christ reveals who He is and proclaims His great purpose to the world: He has come to set us free!
2020 was a hard year — that’s a given! But while we might be tempted to give up on 2021 from what 2020 showed us, Christ implores us to not give up too quickly! There is GREAT blessing in store in this new season if we’ll only believe Him for it!
So we won’t give up too quickly today! Time and time again we will put our faith in the One who holds it all together, knowing that it’s NEVER too late for Him to accomplish a miracle! Our Father WILL come through!
So, why Hanukkah?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson talks about how it may seem strange to just talk about Hanukkah, let alone celebrate it when a lot of other Christian churches do not… But there is something very special about this holiday, so special that Jesus also celebrated it while He was on this earth. Hanukkah is a story of faith — big faith! In a time of persecution, tribulation, and more, God’s people turned towards Him in a time of need, much like what we continue to do today…
Our new season starts right now! We are starting fresh with a fresh spirit of praise and celebration! To the One that is fully in control, and to the One that is still performing miracles today! We hope this message of hope and light encourages you today wherever you are on your journey!
Disappointment. Doubt. Frustration. Anxiety. Nervousness. Annoyance. Fear. Hurt. Mourning.
Need we go on?
In this special message, Pastor Andy Williamson pulls back the curtain on some of his own recent experiences that left him feeling weighed down and isolated. He walks us through a comprehensive view of scripture and how we was able to find release from those feelings, teaching us that isolation is never something that comes from God — but, rather, occurs when we allow our circumstances to come between us and Him.
The enemy wants nothing more than to make us feel alone! And when feelings of fear, hurt and anxiety creep in, it’s all too easy to grapple for control and “fix” things on our own. And before we know it, we wonder why we can’t feel the presence of God.
Be we must stay connected to the Source, friends! Let us lean into the promise of His presence, and draw close to Him as He draws close to us!
Our circumstances are just part of the narrative... Our story is far from finished, and today we let the Author take the pen!
The world has been through quite a few challenges in 2020... And perhaps we haven’t realized that it’s not just everyone else that’s been affected — but also those around us. Maybe even ourselves. In this message, special guest speaker Pastor Joel Johnson takes us through a comprehensive Biblical view of how God uses the circumstances around us to shape us. But not from the outside in as you might expect — from the inside, OUT! We have this hope and light inside of us, church! That no matter how the circumstances may try to break us down, Jesus is our healer and our safety! All that is broken will be made new in Him! Every missing piece will be made whole!
Perhaps more than ever, we cling to this: that whenever we’re hurting...it’s time to get ready. Because our God is using our pain as preparation! And He will turn our tests into a mighty testimony! It’s not what the outside of us that affects what’s within... It’s what’s within us that will change the world around us!!
God wasn’t kidding when He said to let our light shine!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson ushers in the 2020 holiday season by teaching us from John chapter 9. Just as Jesus brought light and restoration to the man whose vision was restored, so too are we called to bring light to those around us!
The world may not always know how to respond to the Light, but God has called us to shine BRIGHT in times of darkness! To bring hope to those who need it and good news to those who need a touch from the Savior!
May we never hide our light! And may eyes, hearts and minds be opened as we shine “Oh, So Bright!”
Many of us have faith, but how many of us are willing to ACT on that faith?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through the powerful miracles of Jesus in the book of Mark, showing us that those who reap a harvest in their own lives aren’t the ones who only believe...but who grab hold of their miracle by falling at the feet of Jesus and not letting go!
We don’t get a trophy for just participating in life! Or in faith! It’s time to roll up our sleeves and take ACTIVE HOLD of it! It’s time to believe that our Savior CAN bring us breakthrough, and that He WILL if we’ll only allow Him to!
A great harvest of blessings and miracles is coming into our lives and communities! But it won’t happen by chance or by simply believing that it’s possible... But by holding tightly to our Savior and never letting go!
During this special baptism message, Pastor Andy Williamson walks us through our confidence and calling as Believers! He teaches through the book of Romans, revealing to us that when circumstances seem like they’re falling apart, our confidence can remain sure in this: that ALL THINGS work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to His purpose!
So...what do we do with that confidence?
WE. SHARE. IT.
God has placed the Hope of the world inside each of us — the Hope of Jesus! And when those around us need His life-changing presence the most, it is our responsibility to share it with them!
Great hope and power live inside us as Believers! And just as we’ve experienced a breakthrough of the Spirit in our own lives, it’s our turn to pass the flame.
Let us go forth BOLDY, making disciples of ALL nations, baptizing them in the name of the One would not stay in the grave when the enemy thought he’d won... But who rose again declaring victory!
God has called His Church to do amazing things... The question is: how do YOU fit in? How do YOU make a difference?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson walks us through Paul’s letter to the Romans. He teaches us the unique purpose God has placed in every individual, and our calling as believers to build up the body of Christ by honoring one another. Through the talents and giftings God has given each of us, Pastor Andy shows us how many parts of the body come together to do MORE than they could ever do apart!
Changing the world starts with US, and with setting the table for others! In EVERY circumstance! As we build up our brothers and sisters in Christ, we reach MORE people for Jesus and find our peace and purpose in Him!
Let your bones come alive in the power of His presence! Remember that He put us on this earth for one other, and that when we stand together in Him — there’s nothing we can’t do!
Broken... Cast out... Forgotten...
Chosen!!!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through John 4 and the story of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. As this lonely and forgotten woman experienced the power of the Savior, she was ushered into a beautiful harvest meant not just for her — but for the whole town she lived in! And even further beyond that!
God uses broken and forgotten things to bring new hope and new life! He pours His living water out on us, and fills us to point where we can’t help but overflow into to the people around us!
So start getting ready for a harvest, Church... A huge harvest of blessing that Jesus wants to share in with us! Get ready to receive it — something new and beautiful is coming as we put our hope in Him!
There are few things worse than going in circles... And when it comes to our spiritual lives, feeling “stuck” can leave us broken and discouraged.
Cue the God of new beginnings!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through the story of Israel’s liberation from the kingdom of Babylon. As God’s chosen people make their way back home after years of enslavement, God’s mercy is on full display!
In moments where we feel alone — He is present! In situations that seem impossible — He conquers all! And He’s ready to begin a new work in us as we open up our hearts to receive it! “Stuck” has no place in his presence!
Our God is a God of future, friends! We let go of our past and run toward a new beginning in Him today!
We often face seasons of discouragement. Moments when we’ve poured in all we have...only to come up empty. These moments can leave us defeated and alone.
But what if it’s in those moments that God is positioning us for a miracle?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through Luke 5. He walks us through Simon Peter’s first encounter with Jesus, turning a night of failure into an overflow so great it could hardly be contained!
We see God’s character shine through here, as as He waits for us to allow Him into the “boat” of our lives, breathing life into defeat, and hope into failure!
As we act on His Word, and give Him room to move in our lives...incredible things happen. We become not what we’ve labeled ourselves, or what our circumstances say we are — but who He has declared we are in HIM!
When we’ve spent our lives desiring approval, we begin to look for it in all the wrong places...
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through Genesis 29 and 30. He takes us through the experience of Leah as time after time she is overlooked by man, and labeled “second best” by those around her. Pastor Andy teaches us that just as Leah sought approval through her actions and the opinions of those around her, we too can fall prey to seeking approval in the wrong places!
God created us for relationship with Him. To find fullness and approval in His eyes and no one else’s! He looked at us and called us “worthy” — even to the point of His death on the cross!
So may we never look for validation in people or circumstances. Let us ALWAYS look to Jesus, whose approval is not something to be won or sought after... It has been freely given, and no lie from the enemy can ever change the truth of His love for us!
He has spoken, and it is so!
When Jesus lay in the tomb, it felt like all hope was lost. His disciples had not only lost their teacher...but they’d lost sight of who they were.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson walks us through John 20 and the days that followed after Jesus ROSE again. He CONQUERED sin and the grave, and not only that, He sought out His disciples hiding in fear and loneliness. He reminded them not of past pain or old mistakes... But about who they were and where they were going!
Our Savior has spoken great purpose over us, and called us EACH by name into his glorious abundance! He pulls us close through the fear and discouragement, and with three words reminds us who we are:
We. Are. HIS!
The disciple Peter has one of the most fascinating stories in the New Testament. His story is a roller coaster of highs, lows, and some fun in between!
But there was that one moment... That one moment of despair, hurt, and concern as he turned his back on Christ and ran away.
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through John 21, illuminating the hope we have in restoration with Jesus! Just as Peter’s calling became more apparent in the days following Christ’s resurrection, so is OUR faith strengthened as Jesus speaks purpose and life over us and what He has called us to do!
The same restoration offered to Peter is offered to us. But we have a choice: either embrace it, or sit in waiting.
Either way, our Savior is actively pursuing us every minute! He longs to have a relationship with us — not a “transaction” as some may lead you to believe.
Our hope is in Him, and He is ready and waiting to give us more than we can possibly imagine!
There’s only One who with a Word can breathe life into existence... And in the ultimate season of labor, He created an entire UNIVERSE in just six days... Including you. Including me. And then He rested.
So if He can do all of that... Would He not be capable of taking care of your needs?!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through Genesis 1, and John 1, as he shows us that God is never caught off guard, and from the beginning, had a plan in place to reconcile creation to Himself. There would pain, there would be challenges... But He could see to the other side. He knew something...
That it would ALL be worth it!
Through the pain and heartbreak, He saw you on the other side and nothing else mattered! Whatever it took, He would do it, because of this one simple truth...
YOU were worth it!
Jesus said He came to give life, and give it more abundantly. But what does that mean? How can we live a life of abundance when all we feel is overwhelming lack?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues his series on “Thriving In The Middle Of Chaos!” He walks us through Philippians 4:10-13, teaching us that our abundance isn’t dependent on the circumstances around us; rather, it flows from the fullness of who Christ is and the provision He makes on our behalf!
So we don’t ever have to fear, or live in lack! For in Christ are all things, and through Christ are all things! He is the beginning and the end, the First and the Last. He is our All In All, the risen Savior! In Him we will never lack!
We can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens us!
What sets Christians apart? In the middle of trial and chaos, what is it that makes Christians stand out from the crowd?
Here’s a hint: J-O-Y!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson continues his series on Thriving in the Middle of Chaos. He walks us through Philippians 4, showing us that JOY is this gift given to us by the Holy Spirit!
In a world gripped with fear and anxiety, we are called to posture in praise to the One who has overcome the world! He brings us great peace that passes understanding, and encourages us to forget about what circumstances say... And claim victory in what He has already done!
And that’s why we’ve got the JOY!
Peace... It sounds nice, doesn’t it? Could we use a little more of it? Absolutely!
But how do we get it? How do we find peace in the midst of trial and uncertainty?
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson concludes his series on “Thriving In The Middle Of Chaos!” He teaches through Philippians 4, showing us that the peace of God comes not through fighting life’s battles on our own, but through utmost confidence in the power of God’s provision.
In a world plagued with fear and anxiety, it is only the peace of God that protects our minds and hearts as we face trials of life. But as we posture in praise, CLAIMING our joy in the might and power of the Holy Spirit, the cares of this world begin to fall away... And we can see more clearly Christ’s wonderful face!
Life gets us bogged down with “stuff.” Problems, frustrations, obstacles... Sometimes it feels like we just can’t win!
How do we respond in those moments? It turns out — not the way you might think!
In this message, Pastor Andy Williamson teaches through Acts 16 and the incredible story of Paul and Silas’ night in jail. We learn that the past is not something to be forgotten, but rather, the platform on which we stand to declare a VICTORY!
We haven’t been called to a life of burdens and defeat! But rather, to a life of joy and abundance found in HIM!
We will not stay shackled! Our God has set us FREE!
The chains are loosed... Will you step out of them?
When David was finally being crowned as King of Israel, there were people coming from all over in support of him. Over 300,000 warriors united to celebrate God’s chosen King!
The funny thing about it is, with all of that celebrating and the amazing time they had, it didn’t come easy. There were many challenges in David’s life that could have hindered and altered God’s plan for his life. But David remained focused, even when He was marginalized by his own family.
Andy Williamson brings us through the amazing accounts of what led up to this time when David became king. There was a great heart of Thanksgiving, and it came by the way of honoring and surrendering unto God.
1 Chronicles 16:34
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
God is writing your story right now, just as He was writing King David's. You have great purpose and are set aside for His delight. His LOVE is greater than anything you are facing. All He is asking for is your heart!
Jesus was the ultimate teacher. He was not robotic at all. He loved people so much, that He worked to make sure He connected with them in a special way. Most of the times, He would spend time with people, and teach them through what we know as parables or stories. This was one of the ways He could help connect with people to get them to understand His message.
Matthew 5 is jam-packed with incredible truth and love. Jesus is teaching His disciples and encouraging them in a special way.
He tells them in Matthew 5: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Andy Williamson takes the time to teach and encourage us on the light that Jesus gives, which is magnified through us. No matter where we’re at in our life’s journey, God is right there shining and bringing light to our world. The most amazing thing about what He does is using us to broadcast that light out.
One of the most powerful chapters in the Bible comes from Romans 8. The Apostle Paul was in a unique place, both in his life and ministry. God had performed a miracle in his life and transformed him into a powerhouse.
There is great freedom and life in Jesus. But often times, we struggle to find that. Andy Williamson takes us through the challenges that we face in life and how it’s not on our own merit, but what was paid on the cross!
God didn’t put us on earth to do this alone, He provided His Son Jesus to bring us life. When we learn to surrender to Him, we become more like Him. And in the end, you operate on His provisions, rather than trying to do things on your own.
He’s for you, not against you. Pursuing us constantly with a love that only He can give!
Sundays are our day to celebrate at Factory Church. Baptism Sundays have a unique feeling that's incredible and unmatched!
Andy Williamson walks us through the journey of Baptism and why we do it, giving us great clarity on what the Bible speaks about in regards to Baptism.
There is great life in His grace for us. We experience His loving mercy on a daily basis. This Alive service was inspirational, exciting and encouraging all at the same time!
So many times, we can get distracted with what life throws at us that we get off course and often times can have a difficult time finding where God is and how we can even make a connection with Him.
Andy Williamson walks through a familiar passage in John 15, where he guides us on how Jesus taught this to his friends. The passage becomes exciting once you know that God’s goal is not for us to just coast through life, but for us to have a full life bearing much fruit, not just a little bit of fruit.
There’s nothing more encouraging than knowing you are connected to the One that spoke it all into existence. We all have choices in life. Jesus gives us a clear direction of not only how to be connected, but how the process of that connection may go. At times, ruining is necessary to keep the vine healthy, in order for it to bring forth a great harvest. Even if at times, it feels uncomfortable, God is moving and guiding, in order to help us achieve the abundant life He has set out for us!
Andy Williamson and Zack Gudzan joined each other again on stage at Factory to talk about Zack’s story with addictions and substance abuse. Only this time, they had a roadmap of how Zack went from addicted to delivered.
The topics get interesting when it shifts from just substances to even fear, anger, and resentment. These are all things that hold you back from your God-given purpose!
We can stand encouraged knowing that God is for us, has provided for us and has made a way for us to be delivered from things that derail us from Gods best for our life!
Have you ever had an absolutely unexpected moment that seemingly shocks you so much that it takes you back? Well, this is how the disciples of Jesus felt just about each day that they spent with Him!
There's an amazing feeling in knowing that you are both wanted and needed. This is what the Gospel of our loving Savior reminds us again and again. Jesus didn't just come to pay the price for our sin. No, he came to cover us, protect us, equip us, and provide His love and value to each and every one of us!
Andy Williamson leads us through this extraordinary passage in Mark 5 where we learn about a young man who was enslaved and left to die. That is until Jesus came into his life. Not only did Jesus help this young man, but He put life inside of him and sent him out to share that life with others!
If you think you are unusable, if you think that God will just find someone else because you aren't enough, you're wrong! If you think you’ve gone through too many hardships or had too many battles, you’re wrong! if you think that God is not there and doesn’t understand what you are going through in your life, you are wrong!
Not only does God understand you, but He is actively caring for you and looking to provide you with a hope and peace in your life that only He can! God will use you in an unexpected moment. Are you ready?
If your life gets too busy, you may lose focus of what's important and miss a few things. These "things" turn into moments. These moments can be incredible times that turn into amazing memories. These memories are filled with celebrations that you share with your family and your friends, all of which are incredibly important to cherish.
But we all have moments that we would rather forget. We've all had to face them, but the real question is what do we do with them? How do we use the moments that we aren't proud of? What if God was using those moments to protect us, to enlarge us, to give us a better future, or to simply get our attention?
Andy Williamson takes us through some timely moments where shows Gods great abundance and life. There’s nothing better than fully operating in His great will for your life. He’s for you, not against you!
Andy Williamson is joined by a good friend, Zack Gudzan of CLTIVATE, as they tackle the subject of sobriety and deliverance. Andy was able to work with Zack to share Zack’s personal story of his own battle with drugs and alcohol.
They talk through what started out as something that seemed really harmless, yet escalated to the point where it no longer became an activity for fun, but became a full-blown addiction.
Zack talks about how he never set out to hurt anyone, but through this addiction, many people were hurt besides himself. Zack was able to find help at AA, but during that process, he had to ask the real question: Am I Zack, a recovering addict, or am I Zack, a fully delivered human walking in and through the grace of Jesus!
Addictions can come in many shapes and sizes. What they end up doing is distract and hurt you. They can remove you from being your best, from fully seeing God's plan for your life, and having the chance to walk in that plan!
If you are or know of anyone that has been struggling with addictions. This is a must listen.
No matter what you face: God has you covered!
Through storms and challenges, God has already set things in motion to protect your mind and heart.
People constantly search for a purpose in life. Once we find this purpose, we find great meaning in our lives. But not all of us get the chance to experience what a life full of purpose feels like. We are often hindered by being overlooked, marginalized and taken advantage of. It’s a crippling feeling that causes anxiety and causes us to question what the future actually will hold.
Andy Williamson takes us through 1 Samuel where we learn of a young man that was overlooked seven times by his own dad. But through it all, we see that God had a bigger plan for him all along, and this plan was full of hope and an amazing future!
God has a plan for us, and it’s not meant to hold us back. Instead, it’s meant to bring us value and purpose to the life that He is providing us, and we believe that our best days are ahead!
Life has seasons. In these seasons we see both growth and challenges. There’s not many that won’t show up for a party when things are going well. It’s when challenges happen and there seems to be no hope... that’s when you start to really question things.
Andy Williamson takes us through a moment when Isaac, Abraham's son, was facing an extreme challenge to him and his whole family. The region he was in was desolated and under extreme famine. People were fleeing everywhere to go and find reprieve and food. But God...
God met with Isaac and showed him the blessing that God had for him if he would follow His lead. If he would obey and surrender to God’s plan. This genuine story of a man's life and God's abundance has a great correlation to us today.
For the scripture says that the same blessing that Isaac enjoyed, is ours through Jesus. There’s great hope. There’s great joy and there’s great life, when you surrender to His plan.
It's not uncommon for us to wait until we are in immense positions of need to call out to God. And sometimes, we get so buried that it feels like we are calling out to Him, but we can't seem to find Him. We get lost and we don't know where to turn.
Join us as Andy Williamson leads us through the miracle of Jesus walking on water. It started with the disciples making their way across the Sea of Galilee in a small fishing boat. As they made their way back, a violent storm came out of nowhere, crippling the disciples with fear and anxiety. Jesus saw that they were afraid and decided to walk out to them – on top of the water and waves. The disciples thought they were seeing a spirit. It wasn't until Peter recognized that it was Jesus when he asked, "If it's really you, can I come out to you?"
What a powerful question. Peter didn't ask, "If that's you, can you stop this storm that's about to drown us?" He didn't ask, "If that's you, can you lead us out of this storm that is making us so afraid?" No. He looked at Jesus and asked if he could step out into the deep and walk on the water, just as Jesus was doing.
Jesus simply answered back, "Come." What a miracle of faith. And Jesus rewarded the faith of the disciples in a mighty way.
You may be facing the impossible. It may seem like there are storms and challenges in your life that don’t add up. You are looking for a God to deliver you from these difficulties when all Jesus is asking you to do is "Come."
No matter how good yesterday seemed, there will inevitably be an issue waiting for us tomorrow. No one is immune to it.
Listen in as Andy Williamson teaches on how to deal with these challenges and how we aren't alone in feeling them. These feelings are normal and should be expected. Life will bring hardships and no one is exempt from them.
Andy takes us on a journey through the eyes of the last great Old Testament Prophet, John, who was called the Baptist. John the Baptist was a powerful man, and Jesus himself said there was no man greater than John the Baptist. And still, there came a time in John's life where he was struck with doubt, frustration, and pain, all which ultimately led to his death by the hands of man.
If this great man of God faced doubts and frustrations, why would we think ourselves immune to these issues?
We learn in Matthew 11 how Jesus handled situations like these with grace and power. What's remarkable is that Jesus looks at each of us with the same grace and power as we go face the same exact challenges that John the Baptist faced.
You’re not alone and you weren’t created to be alone. There’s a great God that is pursuing you and waiting on you right now! Will you answer His call?
Going through life can be monotonous. Listen in as Andy Williamson takes us through the journey of a woman who was simply going through her daily routine when she just happened to meet Jesus. It only took that one moment to cause her life to change forever!
There is life-changing power when we lift up our heads and look to the One who created it all. Jesus showed great compassion towards this woman and her home city. Jesus knew that just to be seen with this woman and in her city was frowned upon in the Jewish culture, yet He still showed her compassion.
This is just one instance where Jesus is able to move across social lines and impact people from all backgrounds and upbringings. He sets an example for us to follow where we can learn to both love and serve as He does.
When we fully start to grasp this idea and love and serve as Jesus did, we find that His resources become our strength and energy. He wants more for us and He gave His life so that we can have more through Him. But above everything, He wants us to share this good news with others, just like giving a fresh glass of water to those who are suffering from thirst.
No matter where we're at in life, God is ready to move for you, help you, cover you, and bring you great hope. We've been called to pass on this good news – it’s too great to keep it to ourselves!
Living in Clarity means you’re living with great health and purpose! Life will inevitably challenge us, becoming messy and hectic. When this happens, we don’t see in clarity, which creates confusion and frustration.
The good news is that we don’t have to live that way. God has a plan to cover us where we won’t have to live a life in bondage! Sin is what separates us from God. But Jesus...Oh what Savior we have in Him!
Andy Williamson leads us through the most amazing truth about God‘s plans for us. Through Jesus and His work on the cross, we are justified in front of Almighty God. And with that justification, we are reconciled to a perfect relationship with Him!
What life. What clarity!
It's not uncommon for us to get enslaved by things throughout our lives. We get caught up in routines and overwhelmed by the stress that tends to weigh us down. When we're in that spot, it's tough to break free and leave things in our rearview mirror.
Andy Williamson helps us understand how God sees us and how He has purposefully made us in His image. God has set each of us on a unique journey in life, equipping us along the way for the exact moments that He will use us.
God is actively pursuing us. He didn’t come to enslave us to rules, religion, or to things that make us feel like robots, repeating the same tasks day after day.
Instead, God desires to be close to us and to see us living in hope and harmony with Him and with one another. God will meet us right where we're at in life. The great thing is that He loves us so much He won’t leave us where He found us!
We know from the Bible that God has a strong desire for us to live healthy and full lives. Many times, we feel disconnected or defeated, only to then experience the great victories in life that we love. We innately want to have more of these victories!
We go through ebbs and flows in our life. These moments are what define our story and our journey. But no matter if you're on an ebb or flow, the amazing thing is that God loves us right where we are thanks to His son, Jesus.
This is a major blessing! And one that we should recognize and look for ways to make an impact and difference in our world. So, how do we do that?
Well, we invest ourselves in and eat from God's Word. We feast on His goodness and then we share it with people as we move through the world. Our world needs support and encouragement, and we have a unique and amazing opportunity to reach others and make an impact.
Fathers are a blessing to all of us. If we take time to listen to our fathers, we'll realize that they're often filled with wisdom, encouragement, and even a funny story along the way. We had the amazing opportunity to have both Andy Williamson and his father, Pastor Jerry Williamson on stage teaching together this Father's Day. Andy took this time to focus on three main items that his dad has taught him over the years, and both Andy and Pastor Williamson taught on these topics.
-
Wisdom: Knowing one's self, knowing one's God, and knowing one's neighbor.
-
Conflict resolution: How to operate in harmony with others.
-
Pulling on His Substance: I have Jesus For This.
We find great value in seeking out the wisdom that God provides for us. By being eager and relying on Him, our eyes will be opened to what our calling is and we'll learn how to serve through leadership and how to love through the eyes of our great Father in Heaven.
Listen in as a father and son share their love, respect, and admiration for one another throughout this special service. You'll find a love that goes far beyond that of a father and a son, but one that can only be created and sustained by God.
Your life can take many twists and turns and there's no telling what the next surprise may be. Just like balloons over time, the life can be popped and zapped right out of you. You can lose your air – the things that once brought you joy – and you'll find yourself in a difficult situation.
This was a special service for us as celebrated a birthday, which always brings a good bit of fun – and balloons!
Andy Williamson takes us through Ephesians 1 and 2 and shows the absolute love that God has willingly given us through redemption.
Often times, we find ourselves putting boundaries and stipulations on life and our relationships, including our relationship with God. But what you don't realize is that these stipulations don't change the way God feels about you. He loves you and accepts you for who you are all the same!
Andy shows us how we tend to put these stipulations on our lives, but as we see in Ephesians 2, God has already overcome your stipulations and paid it all!
Do you get bogged down or overwhelmed? Do you feel like you're working off of a partial charge and not to your fullest potential? Life is constantly tossing curveballs, distracting us from the fact that Jesus came to bring us great victory and life!
Andy Williamson leads us through Luke 7, which exemplifies the great freedom that we have through Jesus. This chapter shows us the true character of our Almighty God and how He consistently pursues us no matter what we are facing in life.
God doesn't want us to live broken lives. He wants to give us life through Him! Sin is only a problem if there is no answer for it. But there is an answer through the cross. By walking out of the grave, Jesus brought us incredible life, hope, and freedom – the truest form of freedom that no man can take away from us.
So, what if we were in the way? What if we could be powerful and full of life, hope, and joy? Would you be interested? It's closer than you think...
Commanders have a reputation of being great leaders. But often times, they only get what they want by demanding it.
Listen in as Andy Williamson takes us through the journey of two commanders in the Bible. Both are men of notoriety and beloved by those around them. However, these commanders needed the provision of God to help them in their times of great need, and they each approached God with their needs in vastly different ways.
One commander approached these needs with a stubborn, selfish attitude and wanted things his way and only his way. And when things didn’t go his way, he was willing to throw it all away and walk away from the miracles that God had been providing him.
The other commander was selfless and humbled at the thought of Jesus even being willing to help him.
While both of the commanders received the miracles they desired, each came with unique experiences and twists in their journey.
But what if…what if, like the first commander, we demand things and get frustrated when things don’t go our way? What if our selfishness is in the way of God’s miracles in our lives? What if He is actively working for us, but we don't get to experience His miracles because we put blinders on?
He is for us. Not against us.
As we make time in our lives to celebrate our moms on Mother’s Day, we can appreciate how incredible and loving these ladies are and be thankful for what they have sacrificed for us. What makes them more amazing is that these sacrifices usually go unnoticed.
Andy Williamson takes us through a story of a mother who was willing to give up everything to get help for her son. This is a great reminder of the tenacity of a mother how they will let little get in their way to help others.
You may be facing a situation that seems impossible to overcome. But if you put your faith in God, you'll see how He is moved by that and how He is always for us and on our team. By drawing close to Him, we'll find great comfort and be able to gain the strength to overcome the challenges that we face as we journey through life!
You'll often find yourself in bad places due to the actions of other people. You'll find yourself struggling with relationships and, many times, this leads you to question what your worth and value is.
Listen in as Andy Williamson takes us through John 8 and shows how Jesus felt about the ones that were persecuted and hurt, and how He actively stood and fought for the people just like us.
The Word of God is powerful. We see that when God speaks, He is capable of creating galaxies. This same God has spoken over our lives. He is for us, not against us, and He has come to bring us life. So, what happens when you are facing tough moments? We've seen how Jesus is actively working to meet us right where we're at in life. He won't leave us, but instead, He'll pick us up and speak into our lives, no matter what circumstances we are facing.
Everyone has an innate desire to be accepted. We work hard in many areas in life and none of us walk into work wanting to make enemies and have everyone hate us. We don’t work hard at our relationships just to have them to fall apart. We want to be loved and accepted.
So, how does this thought process relate to us as humans and this really big God that created the universe? It's strange to think that not only can we get to know Him, but more so that He is FOR us and that He is actively working to include us in His family and team!
So, what’s the playbook? What are the rules and boundaries? What if you found out that there was nothing you could do to make God notice you more, love you more, or want to help you more? Everything has already been paid for and taken care of. All that’s missing is you!
Andy Williamson takes us through this journey and helps to break down Romans 8. Join as we dive into what the Apostle Paul taught the church in Rome. We find many parallels to our lives today and find great hope in what God has done for us through His Son Jesus!
Joy is that feeling that we always seem to chase, but have a hard time holding on to. One day it's here, the next day life tosses us a curveball and our joy seems to fade away.
Andy Williamson helps to decompress the famous saying “The Joy of the Lord is my strength.”
This verse has comforted millions in different times of need, but there is something more to it than just a good thought. God is telling us that our strength will be found through the Joy that only He can bring. And when you operate in His Joy, you start to gain strength and encouragement. Once you learn how to live in God's Joy and Abundance, you continue it day after day, which only makes you stronger.
This verse doesn’t mean that there won't be some battle scars gained along the way – that’s called life. They key is to not look at those hardships as the determining factor in your joy and future. Go get your strength today!
Would your life be any different if you could look back, knowing what you know now, and change any thoughts, actions or decisions? More than likely, most of us would answer with an emphatic "yes!" So, the question is, if you only knew, would it change anything for you?
Andy Williamson leads us through the aftermath of Easter and the Resurrection and shows us how it impacted the disciples directly and how it ultimately impacts us today. After the Resurrection, we see examples of a vanishing and appearing Jesus. We see radical acts of servanthood and love, and the ultimate visual of church culture with Jesus leading by example.
So, how does that affect us? God has called us to love and shows how the act of selfless serving often yields great love. As we see in John 13, when you connect those pieces the Bible says, “blessed are you if you do them.” Blessings are there for you if you choose to move with great intention and purpose through the abundance of Jesus.
We came together on Easter to CELEBRATE rather than commemorate. We don’t have to look at the past and commemorate a neat story. We come together to celebrate the life that is ours through Him.
He gave His life for our abundance.
We dove into the preparation and burial of Jesus. Then, Andy Williamson helped bring us to the meaning of Easter and why Jesus came. He did not come to condemn, but to pay the price for our sins. To be for us, not against us.
We celebrate the fact that the grave they put Jesus in was only needed for a few days! His love exploded the grave and He defeated death and walked right out of it to bring us life!
There’s not only great hope in Jesus, there’s great freedom in the life that God gives you when you trust in His son, Jesus.
Palm Sunday marks the celebration of Jesus entering into Jerusalem for the start of Passion Week. This was a week that was packed with activity and events. It was a tumultuous week as we went from a high with Jesus entering to Jerusalem to, what people thought was, a devastating blow as Jesus was nailed to the cross.
But what was meant to kill became our victory through Jesus!
Andy Williamson takes us through the journey from Palm Sunday to the cross. Jesus gave His life so that we may in return have an abundant life through Him.
He took on all of the shame, guilt, trouble, pain, hurt and sin of man. But we find that we have a Savior that loves us so much that He was willing to and did give it all for us.
It’s the greatest love story ever told and it’s ours for the taking. This story doesn’t end because we know that three days later Jesus rose from the grave, defeated death and gave us life!
Often times, our sight can limit the possibility of what God can and is doing all around us. When you only operate in what you can see, you fall short of the blessings that God provides to us.
Andy Williamson takes us through John 2, where we see the first recorded miracle that Jesus performed at the wedding in Cana when he turned water into wine. Andy guides us through this miracle in a way that allows us to understand what God is constantly doing on our behalf.
Operating through faith means that you are looking through spiritual eyes and moving through His Word. We see how the people serving at the wedding followed what Jesus requested, which resulted in an amazing miracle that far exceeded their imaginations. God doesn’t want us to settle. He wants us to trust in His provision!
Seasons are funny. When you are in the middle of one that becomes a challenge, we often look for ways to get out of that season and into a new one, only to find out that another challenge is around the corner.
What if God was working through our seasons to not only teach us something very valuable, but to possibly even prepare us for the next season in life.
We had a special service on Sunday, March 11. Pastor Robbie McLaughlin of Hope City Church in Charlotte joined us as our special guest with Andy Williamson from Factory. Together they taught on stage, which ended in a fun and relatable message on Seasons and the importance of them.
One great takeaway was this: the size of our current environment will dictate and ultimately limit our potential for growth. This is why it's so crucial to be willing to be uprooted from current familiarity and to move into a new season, no matter how uncomfortable that process may be, in order to facilitate growth in our lives.
God wants us to live a courageous life, moving forward with purpose. He presents trials in life, all in preparation for the journey He is taking us on. We can’t see the future, and at times the fear of the unknown produces a sense of deep concern or anxiety.
Andy Williamson guides us through Joshua 1:1-9, the journey of Joshua being an assistant. Yet, God was raising him up to be a leader! Andy also walks us through Ephesians 1:15-23 to show us God's wisdom.
It’s the small things in life that are equipping us for the big times ahead.
Having needs will always be a part of life. At times, we encounter great needs, which could potentially push us to despair. Andy Williamson helps take us through a special passage that deals with this exact topic. Andy also shows how God doesn’t want to simply satisfy a need, but how He wants to fulfill those needs far and above our desires.
Andy takes us through 2 Kings 4:1-7 and examines this incredible miracle that gives us hope for our needs, no matter the challenges we are facing.
Do you feel like you don't have the answers? Are you stuck in a difficult place in your life? You're not alone. This happens to everyone. And the great thing is that there is help. And this isn't just any help, but the help that only God can provide as He has proven time and time again that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Listen in as Andy Williamson takes us through Mark 2:1-12 and shows how the faith of our friends and family can help us receive the answers and miracles that we need today.
God has a great plan for your life. His desire is to give you a full and abundant life. He isn’t interested in keeping you stranded. This message will help give you the steps to get you out of this paralyzed state that you may be facing.
Because Full Just Isn’t Enough.
What do you do when you are facing a massive trial? How do you actually deal with someone that is taking from you or mistreating you? Maybe you are just facing challenges in life.
Andy Williamson takes us through Luke 6 where Jesus teaches and guides those that are following Him. He walks us through what it takes to face these challenges. How do we act? And where do we go from there?
The exciting thing we learn is that God does not want to keep us in a dead end place in life. He wants to equip us and give us everything we need to move forward with an abundant life in Him!
Spoiler alert: God's blessings don’t just fill up. They overflow when you put your trust in Him and move through His Word!
This is part 5 and the finale of our Trading My Giants series at Factory Church.
The giants in our lives will never go away, but we know that God will use them to help equip us for great victories throughout our life. Andy Williamson teaches us that we are limited if we go to battle our giants with our own resources, but, with God on our side, we can rely on His never-ending resources when we face our giants.
The question is, can God use you to fight the good fight? Do you have what it takes to not only face your giants, but to also help others face theirs? Andy helps show the answer to that as a very loud "YES" to both!
Jesus walked, lived with and loved the normal, everyday person. This person is the one who seeks Him and relies on His great resources. That means you and me.
At times, we look for God to fix our problems and the giants that we face. In reality, God wants to work in and through us in order to face and overcome the challenges that seem impossible.
With God….nothing is impossible!
There's no way to avoid the giants that we will face throughout our lives. The best way to face these giants is to be prepared for them.
God has a plan for your life. He’s for you and He wants to be there with you to help you through the challenges that you will face.
Andy Williamson helps take us through the early beginnings of Acts and how ordinary, untrained men filled with the power of God were able to overcome great giants! This same power exists for us today!
It’s nearly impossible to go through life without facing some kind of giant. These giants can come in many different shapes and sizes, or people or circumstances.
God didn’t build you to be average and to just barely get by. He built you with purpose. And he's equipped you to not only face your giants, but to overcome them through His power that never ends.
Andy Williamson shows us that there’s victory in His life. Our substance and power to conquer our giants is something that we receive from God! Join us as we dive into Acts 3 with an explosive look at the empowering Spirit of God and what happens when we surrender ourselves to Him!
God wants us to be at our best! He wants us to be free and live a full life that only He can give. In Trading My Giants – Part 2, Andy Williamson takes us through 1 Samuel 17 and explains how we should best equip ourselves when we prepare to face our giants.
Before David met Goliath, God had already allowed him to be faced with other challenges in life that purposefully helped to equip him for his insurmountable challenge against the giant.
Due to the challenges that God allowed him to face, David was equipped to move with faith as he battled his giant. And we will see how this same process is working in and for us right now in order to prepare us for the challenges of life.
You can be confident that God is for you and that He is working on your behalf today!
Sometimes we face challenges that hold us back from our true potential or from the dreams that God places in our hearts. God wants us to be the best, most unique us that He has so wonderfully and purposefully created.
Andy Williamson takes us through the amazing story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, and shows us how David overcame that great giant.
Life is always filled with obstacles that can become giants in our life, and Andy encourages us to face our giants instead of turning from them. We see that God is for us and is equipping us to face our giants head on through His power!
New Years Eve is an exciting time. It represents the opportunity for new beginnings. But our resolutions don't always pan out.
Andy Williamson shows us how God wants us to be the best “US” that we can be. He wants us to be effective.
Join us on this journey through Exodus 14 and see how God not only had a plan for the Israelites, but how He provided for them!
Christmas is a busy time of year. It often comes with stresses and even surprises that, well, we just aren’t ready for. Andy Williamson helps guide us through the season as he breaks down the incredible Christmas story and helps to make sense of how we can apply this story to our daily lives.
There’s a journey that takes place in Matthew 1 that opens the doors for our Christmas celebration. This centers around what not only happened at the birth of Jesus, but also the powerful statement that He made in order to bring us life. Merry Christmas!
Join us as we dive into Part 2 of our Christmas Series: Our Joy is Full. Part 2 brings a twist to things from the story with the title of this message "Dancing Baby." The plot of the Christmas Story is filled with many ups and downs and stays action packed from start to finish. Andy takes us through Luke 1 and explores the one who was the precursor to the Messiah Jesus. Andy teaches how Joy is not based on our circumstances around us, yet on the Savior that gives so freely.
Andy leaves us with this final thought in this message: “You matter! What God is doing in your life matters. He uses us in spite of others and circumstances. He believes in us when we don’t believe in ourselves. He uses situations in our life to raise us up and make us stronger.”
Join us as we jump in to the Christmas spirit with our new series, "Our Joy is Full!" This is Part One: Living in Expectation. Andy Williamson takes us through the Christmas story, ultimately showing us how we can live in expectation through God's plan.
Andy explores both Matthew and Luke as he helps to sift through the chaos that surrounded the time of the "Christmas Story."
Moments are presently created around us. We often tend to be so busy that we don’t stop to enjoy the moments that God is giving us. We have habits of focusing on certain regretful moments of our past that we are held back from the great moments of our future.
But know that God is working now – yes, right now – on your behalf. He is continuously planning and paving a way for your moments! Don’t be so fixated on what has come or what may come that you miss out on the power of what is happening right now!
Listen as Andy W. leads us through Mark 6:42-44. There are very special moments in this service as he honors one of our loved ones who has gone to be with our Lord, Chip Cameron.
Many times, we discount what God can do through us. We may even question IF God can do anything with us. Good news – God uses people that others tend to count out. Enjoy this message through the New Testament Gospels as Andy W. takes us through a powerful story of how Jesus used the uncounted to perform one of His greatest miracles. There is blessing in the broken!
We Will Shine! How can you make a difference in the world around you? Are you worthy to be used by God? Do you find it tough to connect with God because of your past? Come take this journey as Andy W takes us through Luke 19 and opens the doors to see how God has used the most unlikely people to do His will. God looks at you and sees that you have a great purpose. Your best years are ahead!
Many times we are held back in life because of either the borders that are placed on us or that we place on ourselves. We tend to get stuck in life, making it difficult for us to achieve the full life that God has and wants for us. Andy Williamson takes us on a journey through Numbers 13 and helps identify ways to help break down the borders and to focus on the Purpose rather than the Process.
God uses the broken – He just won’t keep you there!
This is Part 2 of the series "Where Grace Begins," which helps us find a personal identity with this amazing grace that God has given to us. Andy Williamson identifies areas where we can step out into God’s grace and receive the abundance of His love and life.
Grace is something that cannot be purchased. Instead, it’s something that must be given. Receiving gifts and presents often makes us uncomfortable. How do we respond? What did we do to deserve this gift? The awesome thing about God is that He has a way of giving, and giving at just the right time. If you are facing a difficult situation in your life and don’t know where to turn, know that there is a God who gives GREAT grace Who is ready to make you whole! Continue on this journey with us as Andy Williamson leads us through Mark 10 and shows us this incredible grace that is yours for the taking - just like it was for blind Bartimaeus!

This is the 4th and final message of our series "What’s Love Got To Do With This?!"
Andy Williamson leads us through John 15, making great parallels between how we operate in God’s love and how this love gives us the ability to bear MUCH fruit. There’s a simple truth in this passage and it is directly connected to our everyday lives.

Enjoy this message as Andy Williamson dives into week 2 of What’s Love Got To Do With This?!
Andy goes deeper into John 9:1-41 by breaking down what happens when we don’t make room for God. Walls get built up and our lives get full of things that hold us back from the full life that God has for us. There are breakthrough’s when you fully let go and allow God to completely cover you!
Enjoy the start of a new message series called: What’s Love Got To Do With This?! Andy Williamson has a lot of fun with this series and has helped bring us closer to what God is wanting for our lives. God is love and has shown his love towards us.
Andy teaches from John 9:1-41 about the bling beggar in Jerusalem. He brings in how Jesus not only has time for us, but that He looks forward to having a chance to love on us and to help us through any of life’s struggles.
Andy Williamson continues in the new series Glory! This week, he is diving into the glory of His purpose in our life. Andy quickly breaks down 3 points and 4 actions for our church, as he teaches from John 4:14-21. This is an inspiring look at how Jesus has already set His plan into motion for our lives. It’s up to us to take it and live fully in it!
Andy Williamson jumps into a new series named: Glory!
Andy dives into the great passage of Matthew 6:25-34 and brings perspective on how God has already set in place, a plan to take care of each one of us. We look at how worrying is just a distractor from God’s blessing that He has for us.
August 27th, 2017 was the official launch of Factory Church, and what a day it was. There was great energy at this service, as well as a special guest with Dr. Joe Brown.
Come enjoy the launch message as Andy Williamson has a great time with our Factory Family diving into John 11. Andy gives a great view of what happens when we come to God with our “if’s” rather than our surrender.
