There is a satisfaction greater than success. Once you find that satisfaction, you'll trade "success" for it. In this week's Moments of Hope, Pastor Andy shares a fable about a wise woman who not only realized this but also helped another see it.

Moments of Hope: Nibbling towards Lostness

January 9, 2025 • Pastor Andy Searles

How do cows get lost? Well, they nibble their way there! With their heads down, they only look at the grass before them and try to satisfy their immediate need. ...and it's not just cows that do that. How we so often "Nibble our Way to Lostness."

Moments of Hope: The Mosaic

January 2, 2025 • Pastor Andy Searles

Earlier this week, I, Pastor Andy, visited the beautiful St. Louis Basilica, a beautifully ornate Catholic Church in Missouri. What is unique about this structure is its Mosaics. Over 41.5 million pieces of broken and jagged glass and cold are put together to create beautiful retellings of the story of Jesus. Through this experience, Pastor Andy was reminded about the importance of coming together—in our brokenness and jagged edges—so that we can fully and faithfully tell the redemptive story of Jesus to a lost and confused world.

Moments of Hope: Close the Industry

Live from the Parking Lot at the Outlet Mall, Pastor Andy shares some frustration and hopes about how we have turned Christmas into an industry. The good news of the gospel is that Jesus came to create a new system for our salvation that has nothing to do with industry - and everything to do with a system called grace.
