Matthew 14:1-12
St Andrew's Messages
Scripture is much more than a guide for holy living. It reveals Jesus to us: our Savior, our Lord, and our friend. Scripture, though, does teach us many lessons we need to know for life and for death. As we continue our journey through the Gospel of Matthew, the soap opera that is John the Baptist's imprisonment and murder does just that, reminding us that "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21).

Matthew 13:53-58
St Andrew's Messages
In Matthew 13:53-58, Jesus is without honor because he is only a prophet in the minds of so many locals. Far be it from us to trivialize who Jesus is and what he has done. It's the same story it has been our whole lives, but it’s still amazing and life-changing.

Lord remind me that I am your heir
St Andrew's Messages
Where are you “supposed to be” in life? Where are you supposed to be at the beginning of 2026? As we gather for the first time in the new year, let’s be sure to search for answers to such questions in Scripture. Ephesians 3:2-12 details the mystery of God’s revelation to all people.

Lord remind me that I am your child
St Andrew's Messages
It is easy this time of year to get so wrapped up in the chaos that we forget about the baby in the manger. We also forget that through him we are his children. Paul reminds us that God sent his Son to redeem us; therefore, we are children of God! That is true and lasting joy!

Christmas Eve: Lord, remind me
St Andrew's Messages
The day that God himself was veiled in flesh in order to save sinners is worth every bit of celebration. From the beginning, the solution to sin was the flesh and blood of the God of the universe. God bless your celebration of Jesus’ birth. May the God who made his dwelling among us remind you of his love.

Lord, remind me when I’m doubtful, you are our Cornerstone
St Andrew's Messages
Lord, remind us how reliable our God is when we doubt. Read 1 Peter 2:4-6 and be reminded of God's great promise to you. Then join brothers and sisters in Christ who are experiencing all sorts of doubts, anxieties, and fears. Together we'll be reminded of what our God has done for us.

Lord, remind me when bad things happen, you are Light
St Andrew's Messages
Bad stuff happens in life. We all know it. We all experience it. This side of heaven, Jesus never tells us otherwise and actually makes it clear, "In this world you will have trouble" (John 16:33). Despite this humbling reality, we rejoice this Christmas season and always that we have a God who loves us, who carries us, and who leads us forward in his holy name . . . even when bad things happen. What a blessing. What a truth!

Lord, remind me when I’m lonely, you are Immanuel
St Andrew's Messages
Sometimes these little words are the most important and the most important to be reminded of. We can all put happy fronts on social media and Christmas cards. We can also do a pretty good job in person, but we all have moments of loneliness, and they can easily be exacerbated during this Advent season. When that happens, may the Holy Spirit guide us to pray, "Lord, remind me that you are with us."

Lord, remind me when I’m stressed or worried, you are Lord
St Andrew's Messages
Advent can get frenzied and full of anxiety. As we await Jesus’ final return and anticipate the celebration of his first arrival in our world, we need him to remind us of his lordship in our lives.

Thanksgiving
St Andrew's Messages
Throughout November, we have been thankful for the significant moments in our lives, for the people God puts in our lives, and for the fruits of faith seen around us. Now we thank our Creator for his grace. The God who provides daily bread and necessary weather patterns is the God who provides the salvation we need because of our sins.
