Number Three in our Lent series, "Ashes: The Glory of the Gospel." Didn't catch the livestream of the service this morning? Check it out on our YouTube channel.
We hope and pray that you all stay safe and healthy in this confusing time. If you are interested in helping our community and those who are most affected by social distancing, please contact us and we will help you get plugged into one of our ministries.
In our second week of Lent, Rev. Michael Crocker discusses Psalm 8, which teaches us about the glory of being made in the image of God.
Happy Daylight Savings and Spring Break!
The first in our new sermon series, "Ashes: The Glory of the Gospel." Rev. Crocker preaching on 1 Corinthians 15:50-58.
The final sermon in the series "When God Doesn't" about the book of Habakkuk. Even if God doesn't fix our problems or answer our prayers, we're called to a life of faith.
When God Doesn't, Week 3 of 4 of our series on Habakkuk.
In some ways, there's nothing worse than being on the phone and being told, "Please Hold."
We must let go of our expectations of how God should work in this world or how he should answer our prayers.
Rev. Michael Crocker preaching on Habakkuk 1:5-2:1 at the 11:00am service on Feb 9, 2019.
We start our series called "When God Doesn't: The Book of Habakkuk" with a look at being angry with God. Most of us probably couldn't even locate the book of Habakkuk in the Bible but he has some important lessons to teach us about what an intimate, intense relationship with God looks like.

Seeing your Mountain, Beach, River, Garden, Pool, Couch... The way we do the Sabbath is important. It's not just the absence of activity, it's the rest that serves as the reward and the realization of our work.
Rev. Troy Dunn preaching at the 11:00am service on January 26, 2020.
Join us next week as we kick off our next sermon series!
Family does not exist for itself, but for God and the world. What are you doing with your "quiver of arrows?"
Whether you've been doing this consistently, inconsistently, or not yet, we encourage you to join us in prayer and fasting as you feel led. We're following Church of the Highlands' 21 Days.
The most important thing is focus on Jesus. When we're focused on Him, we can discover our calling, which may or may not be related to our vocation. Ultimately, it's important to see the kind of wake we leave in the world - what are the effects of doing the work we're called to do?
Interested in joining the 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting? Check it out here.
Apologies for the weirdness in the audio in the first minute.
Often we get on the wrong path because we don’t see through God’s lens. We go down the wrong path and then we don’t realize it until we’ve gone so far that we don’t know where we are. But the Hope of the Cross is that God knows that we’re going to do that and He meets us there with Grace.
Interested in joining the 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting? Visit 21 Days of Prayer to participate.
Rev. Michael Crocker preaching at the 5pm Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. We remember certain dates in history or in our past because they changed everything. We celebrate Jesus' birthday on December 25 because of what it means for the world for every single day afterward.
Join us for worship on the 29th of December or in the new year when we start our next sermon series, Seeing 2020. Merry Christmas!

And He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. We finish this series today focusing on the name Prince of Peace and explore what Jesus' Peace is, what it feels like, and what it's like when we stray from that place of Peace with Him.
Rev. Michael Crocker preaching at the 11:00am service on December 22, 2019.
The first couple minutes of Pastor Michael's intro (read: jokes) got cut off - our apologies!
Join us on Christmas Eve at one of our three candlelight services! 3pm traditional, 5pm and 7pm contemporary worship.

Not all of us have a great relationship with our fathers. Some are loving, others abusive, detached, or absent altogether. But that makes the promise of God as our Everlasting Father that much more glorious. He will never leave us or forsake us.
And He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Rev. Michael Crocker preaching at the 5:30pm service on December 1, 2019, Be Rich Sunday!
Wonderful Counselor is a hugely significant title. Jesus offers to totally change and transform our lives, but in order to see that realized, we must be honest with Him, especially in a world that doesn't always reward being honest and vulnerable.
https://www.standrews09.org/
Part of the Life, Money, Hope sermon series, Rev. Michael Crocker teaches about the principle of First. When we tithe, it's less about the proportion and more about where it shows us our heart is. Rather than giving God whatever is left over, we ought to honor Him by giving Him the first and best of what we have.
Maybe we don’t FEEL rich. But Jesus became poor so that He would make us rich, so that we would be generous.
Rev. Michael Crocker preaching at the 6:00pm service on November 17, 2019.

In this final sermon of the "You're Not the Boss of Me" series, Rev. Michael Crocker teaches about the emotion that often controls us without us knowing it, preventing us from leading others to Jesus, and the courage it takes to overcome it.
The struggle against indifference is one of many difficulties that highlight the need for Christ followers to be engaged in a small group. If you don't have one, please join us! Visit https://www.standrews09.org/come-to-the-table/ to learn more.
This is the last in a series called You're Not the Boss of Me, about the negative emotions that threaten to take control of our lives. If you missed one of the previous sermons in this series, make sure to go back and listen!

Rev. Michael Crocker preaching at 6:00pm on October 20, 2019.
Are you bound by your anger? The story of Jonah teaches us how we can be controlled by our anger, and how God desires us to be free from it.
Rev. Troy Dunn preaching at 11:00 on October 13, 2019.
https://www.standrews09.org/
Comparison is the thief of joy. Envy rots the bones. It leads us to toil and strive for success, but for whom do you toil?
Rev. Michael Crocker preaching at the 6:00pm service on October 6, 2019.
https://www.standrews09.org/
There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. What we've done in the past can't be undone and we are guilty of that sin. But in Jesus, we are not condemned. What do you do with that?
- You forfeit the right to condemn yourself. You now belong to Jesus.
- Your guilt will remind you, but it will not define you.
- You forfeit the right to condemn others. That would make you a hypocrite.
- You're free to make restitution without excuses.
Rev. Michael Crocker preaching at the 6:00pm service on September 29, 2019.

Rev. Michael Crocker preaching at the 6:00pm service on September 22, 2019. Even if we carefully project an outward appearance, it's the heart that counts. Pastor Michael introduces the concept to be explored in an upcoming series entitled You're Not the Boss of Me, where we will learn how to be free from emotions like fear, anger, and guilt.
Once we've Discovered our Purpose, what do we do with it? Rev. Michael Crocker preaches at the 6:00pm contemporary service on September 15, 2019 on how we are called to Make a Difference.
