Andover Community Church: Sharing Life

[Starting Over] Release It

Alex Pugh walks us through complicated waters and helps us unpack how "Releasing the past lets the past release you."

[Starting Over] Rethink It

When starting over we need to break the cycle. If we keep thinking the way we used to think, we'll keep doing the things we used to do.

[IGNITE] Starting Over - Epic Fail

Ever had an 'Epic Fail' moment? Jonah certainly did, but he also had a 'Starting Over' moment with God's help that changed his life and many others. Chris Choules takes us on a journey of epic failures that didn't stay that way because God was involved.

[Starting Over] Own It

We all need to start over sometimes in many different areas of life. Chris helped us understand the first step of starting over, realising that "we make our peace with the past by owning our piece of the past".

[Starting Over] Three Myths

We all need to start over sometimes in many different areas of life. How do you break the cycle of mistakes and failed attempts? Chris helps us to bust three myths that get in the way of us making a clean start and painting a better future for ourselves.

[I'm Dreaming of a] Humble Christmas

"The richness of Christmas is found in God's presence with us, not in extravagance. If you want to love like God loves, give more of yourself, not more stuff." Rob challenges us to be wise with our spending and emphasis on presents this Christmas.

[I'm Dream of a] Inclusive Christmas

Chris Porter gets us dreaming of an inclusive Christmas. "If God is for shepherds you better believe he is for you! If heaven comes for them, you better believe it comes for you.

If you feel like you’re the last pick – heaven is for you and here it comes.

If you feel like you’re alone – here comes heaven.

If you feel like you’re a foreigner, homeless – here comes heaven.

If you’re the outcast – here comes heaven to include you."

[I'm Dreaming of a] Peaceful Christmas

Rob begins our Christmas series by drawing us together around the truth that the presence of God is with us throughout the conflict and tense situations of our lives; bringing peace in the midst of it all.

[RESET] Our Connection

Alex Pugh shares with us her teenage obsession with Britney and challenges us to pause and ask ourselves "What or Who do we admire, adore or even worship in our lives?".
