Dear St. Andrews Family,

What do you long for? What excites you? You can probably come up with an answer or two for that, right? Hitting that ski jump at 30 miles an hour excites me. Getting that mischievous glance from your spouse across the room? Anticipating finally getting that vacation to Bermuda?

Let me change the question for a moment. Not what do you long for or what excites you, but what motivates your every move? Is there is even one thing? Family? Wealth? Happiness? All good motivators I think. Hebrews 11 implies that the great people of the past longed for one thing: a better country—a heavenly one. Do you long for heaven? Let’s talk about that this week. I want to inspire, encourage, and excite you about our mission and our future.

Dear St. Andrews Family,

We don’t always find ourselves in the best circumstances.Remember that Abraham was asked to leave everything familiar, was asked to wait for a long time for a child, and he likely lost his dad in this difficult journey. I want to give you some advice from Scripture this week about lookingpast the circumstances, going forward in hope, and putting your faith in the right thing (person). I hope this will be encouraging. Enjoy your week. Oh, read Hebrews 11:8-16 if you get a chance and start thinking about it. Maybe pray that God will work wonders in your heart.

Dear St. Andrews Family,

I realized over the last few years how much of mysecurity was wrapped up in my family. I fear deep down that maybe it’s also wrapped up in my bank account, my job, how many “likes” I get on FB and my abilities to play sports, talk gooder, and attract women (none of which are reasons to brag I understand). I wonder what my security is really based on.

This week I want to examine what you are looking at asyour security, as your foundation. And I want to look at Abraham who looked to a city with foundations, whose builder and maker was God. This little summary is in Hebrews 11:8-10 and I would love for you to take a look if you have a chance. I am ready to hear from God this Sunday and I hope you are too.
