WHY ME? JOHN 8:1-11
by Howard Andersen on October 29th, 2024
We all encounter difficult people in our lives—an unavoidable and often uncomfortable aspect of our earthly journey. Some of these individuals are loved, while others are merely tolerated, with the faint hope that they might change. We hope, we pray, and we try everything within our power to fix them, yet to no avail. Frustration, anger, resentment, and disappointment can overshadow our days, leav...  Read More
BROKEN IN JUDGES 7:15-23
by Howard Andersen on October 26th, 2024
Our world is filled with broken people, a truth we see reflected everywhere—from the highest echelons of society to the lowest ranks of civilization. Yet, Jesus actively recruits those who are broken, inviting them to become something greater. They discover life on an entirely different level, not in spite of their brokenness, but because of it. It almost feels like a prerequisite. Are you broken ...  Read More

FRIENDS JOHN 7:32-36
by Howard Andersen on October 8th, 2024
Over the years, I’ve come to realize that our closest relationships wield the most profound influence on our lives.

The only safeguard against this is consistent connection within healthy relationships. If you seek c...  Read More

TRUTH JOHN 7:25-31

by Howard Andersen on September 29th, 2024
For far too many of us, moving on from destructive habits and unhealthy choices has become one of life's greatest struggles.

MOTIVATED JOHN 7:14-24
by Howard Andersen on September 24th, 2024
There exists a common condition deep within each and every one of us: A motivation that can spiral out of control, leading us into dangerous or destructive situations. It’s challenging to perceive this when viewing life from the classic inside-out perspective. With every priority we establish and every decision we make, we tend to believe our intentions are pure and our goals are healthy. Yet, we ...  Read More

TIME JOHN 7:1-13
by Howard Andersen on September 17th, 2024
The most precious commodity we possess is time. Time flows like a never-ending stream, always in motion. To quote Dickens in *A Christmas Carol*“There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish. The key is to strive to accomplish as much as possible in the time we have.” Time is running out so what do you do with so many distractions, disappointments and derailments of the...  Read More

PRETENDER JOHN 6:60-71
by Howard Andersen on September 10th, 2024

GRAVITY JOHN 6:41-59
by Howard Andersen on September 3rd, 2024
John Mayer captured something profound in his hit song titled "Gravity." It resonated with countless individuals because it reflects the struggle between our desire to do more, to be better, to love, and to be loved, versus the reality of doing less than we’re capable of and feeling the sting of love unexpressed. This tension often gets blamed on gravity. But let me ask you: could the solution to ...  Read More
A MOTHER KNOWS JUDGES 5:1-31

MOTIVES JOHN 6:22-40
by Howard Andersen on August 20th, 2024
