Habakkuk: Finding Faith When You Have None

Andy Adams — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 16:10:54 +0000

Final sermon in the series on Habakkuk by Andy Adams

Habakkuk: When you’re in a crisis of faith

Andy Adams — Sun, 15 Sep 2019 15:17:27 +0000

This week, as we observe the prophet Habakkuk's wrestling match with God, we'll learn just what to do when we experience a crisis of faith - when things are difficult and we want to quit. You'll be greatly encouraged when you join us this week at Troy United Methodist Church!

Habakkuk: God, Where are You

Andy Adams — Sun, 08 Sep 2019 16:44:31 +0000

The Old Testament book of Habakkuk is easily missed. It’s only three chapters long! But the message of this tiny book is profound. Where is God in the midst of injustice? What do we do when things aren’t as we know they should be? How do we find faith in God despite our big questions that raise significant doubts? Habakkuk deals with each of these questions and more.

Prison Break: No Going Back

Andy Adams — Sun, 25 Aug 2019 16:24:56 +0000

In the Christian life, we are at war. Not against people, but against spiritual forces that are unseen. There is an enemy of your soul who wants nothing more than for you to remain in the prison of guilt, shame and fear. But in Christ, we are not only set free from these shackles, we are given the power of God to withstand the attack of our enemy. Join us at one of our four worship services this Sunday to learn how you can do battle in this realm so that you never have to go back to living in chains again.

Prison Break: Breaking Free from the Past

Andy Adams — Sun, 18 Aug 2019 16:31:27 +0000

When you become a follower of Jesus, you are adopted into a new family, the family of God. This family has its own values and ways of doing life, oftentimes vastly different from the values of your former way of life. Join us this Sunday as we continue to explore Paul's letter from prison to the Ephesians. You will find the power to break free from your past and step into the new life God created you for!

Things I Wish Jesus Never Said: Deny Yourself

Andy Adams — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 15:26:41 +0000

The church season of Lent is largely defined by self-denial. “What are you giving up?” is the typical question you may hear! It is true that Jesus taught us to deny ourselves if we want to be his followers, but what exactly did he mean? Did Jesus want us to learn to live without chocolate or TV or red meat? Or did Jesus mean something else when he said, “deny yourself”? Join us this Sunday as we discover the heart of this difficult teaching and how you can find your true self in Jesus.

One Combined Service

Andy Adams — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 17:19:20 +0000

This special Sunday is when our entire church comes together to support and encourage several families and individuals who are making a public commitment to follow Jesus. This is the amazing fruit of our mission - inviting people on a journey with Jesus. Let's praise God together for the lives that have been and are being transformed by his grace.

/Shift/ - Worry

Andy Adams — Sun, 26 Aug 2018 15:13:49 +0000

SHIFT: Faithful Living in a Changing Culture - a Study of Daniel

When you follow God in a shifting culture, you're bound to make enemies. Some people will love to see you fail. The enemy of your soul would love to see you falter! If you're following Jesus, expect to face spiritual attack in various forms. This Sunday at Troy UMC, we will identify several forms of spiritual attack and be inspired by the way Daniel put his trust in God even in the midst of circumstances that could lead us down paths of worry.

Daniel 5

/Shift/ - Self-Dependence

Andy Adams — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 15:25:56 +0000

SHIFT: Faithful Living in a Changing Culture - a Study of Daniel

Last week we saw how God blessed Daniel and his friends when they refused to SHIFT and continued to follow God's ways even when doing so meant they could die. Although in our culture, we may not risk our lives following God's ways, following Jesus is still radical. It stands out as very different from those around us. This week, as we study the 2nd chapter of Daniel, we'll discover one particular way that following Jesus goes against the world's current. The world teaches us to depend on ourselves - our gifts, our resources, our talents. Following Jesus means learning to depend on God and others. When push comes to shove, are you depending on yourself or on God? Invite a friend to join us as we take steps toward living in dependence on God!

Daniel 2

/Shift/ - Compromise 08/12/2018

Andy Adams — Sun, 12 Aug 2018 15:23:52 +0000

As a congregation we’ll be studying the book of Daniel. Why should you care about a guy who lived over 2500 years ago? Great question! Just like Daniel, we live in a culture whose values entice us to SHIFT our focus from following God wholeheartedly. Together we’ll learn from Daniel who time and time again, resisted the temptation to SHIFT his values

to save his own skin or make his life easier. This week's sermon will specialize on how to deal with compromises when it comes to faith.

One Another - Forgive

Andy Adams — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 17:29:30 +0000

The central theme of the Christian faith is that Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves. As a result of our faith and trust in Christ, our sins are forgiven and we are made new. Jesus’ followers are commissioned to be his ambassadors, carrying his message of forgiveness and grace to one another and to the world. This week at Troy UMC we will wrestle with the multiple layers of what it means to carry the message of grace and forgive one another in the Christian community.
