Join us this week as Pastor Andrew teaches on what contentment really is, and how we can move out of apathy in this season and be actively content in Jesus! Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

The Bible is a living instrument placed in our hands. In his message, Good Use, Pastor Andrew explores how the power and usefulness of God's Word are directly connected to the heart, posture, and faith of the person who is wielding it.

This week, we looked at Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 to “come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened,” and explored what it means to experience true rest in Him—especially in a season that often feels exhausting, pressured, and overwhelming.Follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages and subscribe to our YouTube Channel to see how God is moving at MetaChurch.Support the show

This week Pastor Andrew has returned to remind us about the power of God's Word! Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

In his message, Pastor Andrew emphasizes the significance of not missing Jesus during the Advent season. Drawing from Titus 2:11-15, he explains that Jesus came to save us from our sins, to change our lives, and to prepare us for His second coming. The grace of God offers salvation and training to live uprightly, urging believers to engage deeply with their faith and share the gospel with others. As Christmas approaches, he encourages everyone to intentionally seek Jesus and make this season transformative.

1 Cor 3:12-15 What is God looking for when it comes to our service? Some of us find it very hard to get involved in Christian service while others can't seem to find the time to serve all the ways that they desire. But is it really just about time? What makes God happy with our service? And will He reward us for this work? We consider those questions this week as Pastor Andrew continues his study in 1 Corinthians.

“Growing in Knowing” Series, part 4 — Colossians 1:10 “…that you may walk worthy of the Lord… and increase in the knowledge of God.” In Part 4 of our series, Pastor Andrew brings a deeply encouraging and prophetic message titled “The God Who Is Faithful.” From Deuteronomy 7:9, we are reminded that God is not just loving or holy—He is the faithful God, the covenant-keeping God, the God who stays when others walk away, the God who renews when life has drained you, and the God who finishes what He starts. This message is specifically for the broken, the weary, the rejected, and those who feel like they are running on fumes. If you have felt abandoned, overlooked, unsupported, or spiritually exhausted… God sees you. And He is faithful.

Many churches struggle with community ministry that feels disconnected from making disciples. In this episode, we break down how adoption and foster care ministry serves as a powerful evangelistic tool—not just a "feel good" initiative. From reaching biological parents to discipling children in Christian homes, Pastor Andrew and Pastor Landon share practical insights from helping 200+ families engage in foster care and adoption. Plus: why knowing your church's unique gifts matters more than copying another church's model. Perfect for pastors wanting mission-aligned community impact.Chosen Book: andrewphopper.com/chosen

In this message from our 1 Peter series, Pastor Andrew digs into Peter's teaching on submission within marriage. Set in a cultural context where women were often undervalued and objectified, and at times spiritually isolated in marriage, Peter's words offer a radically dignifying and Christ-centered vision for both wives and husbands. Peter calls wives to a posture of courageous, Christlike submission—not inferiority. Just as Jesus willingly submitted to the Father, a wife displays holy strength when her respectful, pure conduct points unbelieving husbands toward the gospel. Her beauty is to flow not from external adornment, (highly prized by Roman culture at the writing of 1 Peter) but from the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, precious in God's sight. Peter points to the “holy women who hoped in God,” especially Sarah, whose faith triumphed over fear and whose inner character revealed her true adornment as she lived out true faith toward God in her marriage to Abraham. This passage invites us to resist cultural distortions around gender, beauty, and marriage, and instead embrace God's design. Biblical submission is faith-filled, courage-driven, and rooted in hope—a reflection of Christ's own humility and strength. May our marriages display His glory. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_b8f6ba64811b4a77ac2402a136cad7bc.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_ecd40478314d4cef80fa1ebc451201c9.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Awe and Wonder: Part 1 - Pastor Andrew DamazioThis week, we start a new series called Awe and Wonder for the month of December as we open the book of Matthew and reflect on the humanity of Jesus through His genealogy—seeing how God brings beauty from broken stories, keeps His promises across generations, and invites us to rest in the good news of what He has already done.Want to connect more with Rose Church?

In this message, Pastor Andrew encourages believers to move beyond the commercialized hustle of the season and prioritize the true purpose of Christmas: focusing on the person of Christ. He distinguishes that while the holiday may be cultural, the miracle is biblical, reminding listeners that this is a powerful season to receive the miracle they need. The essential focus is the "spirit in Christmas," emphasizing that the Holy Spirit initiated the miracle of Jesus's birth, causing the Holy One to be born and called the Son of God, as the power of the Highest overshadowed Mary (Luke 1:35). The Holy Spirit also reveals who Jesus truly is, moving the devout Simeon to recognize the child as the Lord's Christ and the salvation prepared for all people (Luke 2:25-30). Ultimately, the Spirit's work makes it possible for us to be reunited to God the Father and be transformed from slaves into sons and heirs of God through Christ (Galatians 4:6-7). This Christmas season, we are challenged to seek "more Christ" and ensure that our hearts reflect the light and glory of the Savior of the world.

Brother Steve Nedde brings the message during this final week of Pastor Andrew's vacation. Haggai 2:4-5 NKJV Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says the LORD; 'and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,' says the LORD, 'and work; for I am with you,' says the LORD of hosts. 'According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!'

Freedom Fighters | John 8:31–36 | Walking in the Liberty Christ Purchased In this powerful message, “Freedom Fighters,” Pastor Andrew Eldridge takes us deep into John 8:31–36, revealing Jesus' call for believers to walk in true spiritual liberty—not someday in heaven, but here and now. Many Christians quote “the truth shall make you free,” but Jesus teaches that freedom begins with continuing in His Word (v.31). Before truth sets us free, we must first abide—remain in, dwell in, and live by the Word of God. Freedom is not accidental; it is the fruit of discipleship. Using the powerful illustration of the American Revolution freedom fighters, Pastor Andrew reminds us that liberty is never won by passivity. Freedom must be pursued. Jesus—the ultimate Freedom Fighter—organized, strategized, sacrificed, and secured our victory on the cross. Now He calls us to stand fast in the liberty He purchased (Galatians 5:1). Throughout this message, we explore:

1 Cor 3:5-11 Pastor Andrew continues his study in 1 Corinthians. This week we consider what it means to serve in the church and how God views our service.

Pastor Andrew emphasizes the significance of Advent and the birth of Jesus as the promised Savior. He shares his struggle to stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas amidst life's chaos and encourages the audience not to miss Jesus during this season. The message highlights the incarnation of Christ, explaining that He came as a baby through the Holy Spirit to reconcile humanity with God. Pastor Andrew urges everyone, whether they are long-time Christians or skeptics, to seek a genuine relationship with Jesus and not to overlook His significance during Christmas.

Pastor Andrew encourages us from Psalm 107 as we give thanks to our great unchanging God.

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess. 5:18, NKJV) In this message, Pastor Andrew unpacks what it really means to live with a spirit of thanksgiving — not just one week in November, but every day of the believer's life. Scripture calls us to something far deeper than seasonal gratitude: a lifestyle where thanksgiving becomes the posture of our hearts, no matter what is happening around us. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Colossians 3:15–17; 4:2, Ephesians 5:19–20, Habakkuk 3:17–18, and Jonah 2, we explore:

Sermon description: Pastor Andrew's message, A Lasting Legacy, explores what it truly means to leave a legacy that outlives us—a legacy rooted not in accomplishments, wealth, or recognition, but in the eternal impact we make on the people around us. 

Many believers today live caught between two extremes—sinless perfection on one side and greasy grace on the other. Both distort the gospel and leave Christians confused, insecure, or exhausted by performance-based religion. But Scripture gives us a better way. In this message, Pastor Andrew looks deeply at Paul's words in Philippians 2:12–13, where he calls us to “work out” what God Himself is working in us. You'll discover the freedom that comes when holiness is understood not as human effort, but as Spirit-empowered transformation. We confront the fears that plague many believers: • “What if I sin and don't realize it?” • “What if I'm not good enough?” • “What if God is disappointed in me?” We also expose the bondage of legalism: • The idea that you must maintain your salvation through performance • The fear that God withdraws whenever you stumble • The belief that weakness means God is finished with you And we confront the imbalance of cheap grace that ignores sanctification altogether. Through Scripture, we walk through: • Why struggle does not mean you're lost • What it truly means to be “perfect” as Jesus commanded • The difference between reverent fear and terror • Why believers should not live afraid of hell • How grace not only saves—but keeps, teaches, enables, and transforms • How the Holy Spirit causes us to walk in obedience • Why spiritual maturity—not flawlessness—is God's goal for your life Above all, you'll be reminded of this truth: The God who began the good work in you will complete it. This message is for the believer who wants clarity… for the struggling Christian who feels unworthy… for the weary saint trapped in legalism… and for anyone longing to walk in grace, assurance, and Spirit-empowered holiness. If God started it, God will sustain it—and God will finish it. Subscribe for more messages of hope, truth, and Spirit-filled teaching. Like, comment, and share to spread the Word!

In this message, Pastor Andrew begins a vital new series that will carry us all the way to Christmas: Growing in Knowing. This first message — “The God You Know” — lays the foundation for what may be one of the most important studies our church has walked through. In Colossians 1:9–10, Paul prays that believers would be “filled with the knowledge of His will… increasing in the knowledge of God.” That prayer reveals a stunning truth: it is possible to believe in God, attend church, and even serve — and still not truly know Him. In this message, Pastor Andrew confronts one of the greatest crises of the modern church:
