Pastor Scott Andrews | October 1, 2023 Watch Listen Read Luke 2:21-35 There are certain names or even ideas that immediately divide a room – that divide this room. The list is potentially long, but here’s a few: President Biden or former President Trump – almost evenly divided the nation. Republican or Democrat. Pro-life or […]
LUKE 2:8-20
Pastor Scott Andrews | September 17, 2023 Watch Listen Read Luke 2:8-20 As I mentioned recently, I’ve been at Alliance for 26 years, which means 26 Christmases. I looked it up – counting Christmas Eves, the Sundays before Christmas, and the few times I’ve covered the four Sundays of Advent leading to Christmas, I’ve preached […]
LUKE 2:1-7
Pastor Scott Andrews | August 27, 2023 Watch Listen Read Luke 2:1-7 It would be hard to a find a story more sensationalized and mythologized than the story of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, called Christ.

LUKE 1:67-80
Pastor Scott Andrews | August 20, 2023 Watch Listen Read Luke 1:67-80 I shared this about a year ago, but over the past several decades, one of the challenges in the US church has been the issue of worship.

LUKE 1:57-66
Pastor Scott Andrews | August 13, 2023 Watch Listen Read Luke 1:57-66 I’m going to coin a new term today. Just remember, you heard it here first. I suspect that some of us, maybe many here this morning might be Theophilites. You say, what in the world is a Theophilite? Glad you asked. It comes […]

LUKE 1:26-38
Pastor Scott Andrews | July 23, 2023 Watch Listen Read Luke 1:26-38 Several years ago, my Christmas sermon was titled “Joseph, the Forgotten Man of Christmas.” If you were here, you remember we talked about how Joseph has gotten a bum rap – how’s he is seen as a secondary, non-essential character to the Christmas […]
LUKE 1:5-25
Pastor Scott Andrews | July 16, 2023 Watch Listen Read Luke 1:5-25 It’s interesting to note when considering the two major Christian holidays of our culture – Christmas and Easter – the preponderance of weight falls on Christmas. On the birth of Christ, not on the death of Christ. I guess we’d rather think of […]
