The Four Laws of Unity
Discover the four laws of unity that will empower us to get along and work together to accomplish the mission of the church.
How Do We Know God Exists?
1 Peter 3:15 says, “Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” Discover five reasons we believe in God so that you will be equipped to engage your unbelieving friends.

Christian Greed
As you read the Bible it becomes clear that God blesses godliness. Many verses in the Bible promise prosperity to those who pursue godliness. Unfortunately, many people have taken these verses out of context, leading to some big problems. Pastor Andy calls it Christian Greed. Discover the meaning of Christian Greed, why it is a problem, how to recognize it in yourself, and how to avoid it.
How to Serve Christ at Work
We’re called to serve Christ 24/7, representing and glorifying Him in all we say and do. And since we spend so much of our time at work, it’s essential that we learn how to serve Christ at work.
Put Your Neck on the Line For the Gospel
Discover why most Christians never experience what it’s like to be used by God in a powerful way… The three hazards of serving God… What you must do if you want to be used by God… Three ways to dedicate yourself to the propagation of the Gospel… and much more.
Avoiding Evangelistic Discouragement
Every Christian is called to be a witness for Christ. But evangelism can be discouraging, especially when so many of our attempts fall short. But we must not give up! Listen to discover the root cause of evangelism discouragement, and the solution. If you need a shot in the arm to revive your passion for evangelism, don’t miss this message.
How to Handle the Rejection of the Gospel
If you live for Christ, you will be rejected. And the dangerous thing about rejection is that it can cause us to retreat; to give up; to stop witnessing; to even stop believing the truth. But we know that’s not what Jesus wants. Listen to a story in Jesus’ life and learn how to handle the rejection of the Gospel.
How to Treat People In the Church
We live in a very selfish society. Most people only think of themselves. But the Bible has called Christians to love their neighbor, and to live in community in the context of the local church. But for the church to be healthy and function effectively, there’s a certain way we need to treat one another. Listen to the study of 1 Timothy 5 as Pastor Andy unpacks three principles about the way to treat people in the church.
Facing the Impossible
One thing that Christians and non-Christians have in common is adversity. We all face impossible situations, tasks, challenges, and responsibilities at times. But the way we respond is different — much different. Listen to discover why God allows Christians to go through impossible situations, and six ways we need to respond so that God can get the most good out of our struggles.
The Tale of Two Paths
Everyone is on one of two paths — the path of life, or the path of death. If you are on the path of life, then you are headed for life in abundance. If you are on the path of death, then you are headed for emptiness, regret, and destruction. Listen to discover which path you are on, and learn how to find the right path.
The Doctrine of Eternal Security
Many people struggle with this question. Is it possible to put your faith in Jesus and be born again, and then at some later point lose your salvation? This is called the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints, or Eternal Security, or Once-Saved-Always-Saved. Some churches teach that you can lose your salvation. What do we believe at Church Acadiana? And what does the Bible say?
