“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.
🔥 Highlights from this message:
• God’s faithfulness in your pain and pressure
• Why Shady Grove Church is called to be a refuge for the broken
• The potter who restores what life has shattered
• A prophetic vision of believers running through the storm—and the promise that the clouds are breaking
• How God’s faithfulness produces renewal, strength, and endurance
• Why true spiritual renewal comes only through His presence
• God’s promise to finish the work He began in you (Phil. 1:6)
