Worship Services on Matthew (Page 4)
Worship (9:00 AM Traditional) “Prepare”
Text: Matthew 7:24-29 Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders seems to suggest the inevitability of the storms of life. The rains will come, the streams will rise, and the winds will blow. But we can build our life on the rock foundation of Jesus Christ and God invites us to connect to him on a daily basis through God’s gift of faith. Our series begins with a focus on what it means to be “storm proof.”
Promises, Promises, Promises (10:30 AM Blended) “I Will Make Your Paths Straight”
Text: Matthew 11:28-30 One of the most compelling, invitational, and comforting promises in all of scripture is this promise given to us by Jesus in Matthew 11: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” How can we learn to let go of our burdens that we foolishly hang onto and entrust them to the One whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light?
Promises, Promises, Promises (9:00 AM Traditional) “I Will Make Your Paths Straight”
Text: Matthew 11:28-30 How often do we lean on our own understanding instead of trusting in the goodness of God in all things? When things fall apart, it’s difficult to see that God can and does work for good in and through all the worst of our messes and circumstances of life. How is God making our paths straight today?

Great Big Little Words” (10:30 AM Blended) “Always
Text: Matthew 28:16-20 Before his ascension, Jesus gave his disciples the Great Commission, which still gives the church its purpose and calling today.

“Feeding Our Souls” (10:30 AM Blended)
Text: Matthew 11:28-30 Throughout this series, we have focused thus far on our thoughts, our hearts, and our relationships. Now we turn to turn to Jesus’ promise that “all who are weary and burdened” (and who isn’t?) will find rest for our souls in him. How is Jesus, the Bread of Life, feeding our souls and bringing about this rest for us and is it perhaps right in front of us in ways that we fail to recognize?

Love God, Love People | Love God… (10:30 Blended)
Text: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, Matthew 22:34-40 There’s more to 1 Corinthians 13 than just a nice wedding text: it is both a vivid picture of how Jesus loves and also how we are called to love others at all times. Our mission and ministry at St. Andrew is rooted in the greatest commandment of all: love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength.
