Avenue Church

Open Hands Pt 1: Entrusted with all

Everything belongs to the Lord. He has entrusted us with everything we have. He is our source and supply. Do we put it to good use or spend and bury it out of selfishness and fear? The amount we have and the actions we take in faithfulness reflect our hearts and test our trust. Let's accept the challenge of using what we've been given well. 

Frequency Pt 4: Lord is that you?

Many voices are speaking to us. How do we know it's the voice of the Shepherd and not my voice, something I heard somewhere else, or even worse...the enemy's voice? Take time to listen and test what you hear against scripture. Ultimately, you will know it is the voice of the Good Shepherd if it leads you closer to him, even in the midst of a storm. 

Vision Sunday 2025: Make it plain

As we celebrate Avenue Church's fourth anniversary, we want to ensure we are clear on our mission. The reason we exist is more important than what we do. 

We want to help you know and follow Jesus, in community for a transformed life. 

Frequency Pt 2: Cut through the Noise

Sometimes, the hustle and bustle of life can make it tricky to hear God's voice. Yet, He is always communicating with us, whether through Scripture or other gentle reminders. His voice often comes as a gentle whisper, inviting us to listen closely. This week, we'll explore ways to tune out the noise and truly hear God's whispers in our hearts. 

Frequency Pt 1: Speak Lord, Your Servant is Listening.

Learning to listen to God's voice is our most significant ability as believers. It's simple but not always easy. We'll learn from Samuel, the last judge of Israel, how he grew in listening to and following God's voice. 

Surprise Part 4: A life expecting God's grace and goodness

Mary and Joseph dedicated Jesus at the temple, where Simeon and Anna offered prophecy and encouragement. Their faith in God's promises and dedication to spending time at the temple are examples of living expectantly. 

Surprise Pt 3: An Unexpected Invitation

Two groups, the magi and the shepherds, from polar opposite ends of society, found themselves at the young savior's feet. The invitations were different. But the response was the same. They worshiped!

Surprise Pt 3: Disrupted Plans

Things don't always go according to our plans, especially when God intervenes—Mary and Joseph's plans for a typical marriage were everything but that. Even when God disrupts our plans, it winds up being way better. But it requires extraordinary surrender on our part. 

Surprise Part 1: The Voice from Silence

In the opening of our Christmas Series, we look at Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist. John would be the voice preparing the way of the Lord. The surprising thing is that Zechariah would be silenced because of his unbelief. But just because things are silent doesn't mean God isn't working. 

Heart Wounds: Pastor Andy Heis from Desperation Church in Cullman, AL

The parts of ourselves that we like the least are often the result of unresolved and unhealed wounds. God wants to heal your heart and bind your wounds.
