Transcript
Hello there and welcome to God -Centered Theology. My name is Andy Cain and I am currently the pastor of Roanoke Baptist Church in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina.
Yes, that is a lot of use of the word Roanoke, but that's where I am at and I have been, well, in ministry for a long time.
I preached my first sermon January 4th, 2009. I got into online ministry in July of 2016, originally with a ministry called
By His Grace, which has evolved and changed into God -Centered Theology. I pastored my first church in Emporia, Virginia in April of 2017 and had some different stops along the way and placed at Seaboard and a couple different places.
I was a church member at a couple different places and just kind of helped wherever I could and now I'm the pastor here at a local church in my town because the local church is the primary place in which we are to use our gifts.
We are to be under the sound teaching of elders and so while I was a church member, I was under the sound teaching of elders and submitted to that and growing in any way that I could and now that I'm pastoring, it's up to me to make sure
I'm shepherding well and also seeking accountability from mature biblical people as well.
So a little bit of that history there and so, you know, while my online ministry can be a great enhancement for the local church, it is not a replacement for the local church, so I encourage you to make sure you are active in your local church.
With that being said, welcome again to God -Centered Theology. This is the place for consistent
God -Centered, God -honoring, and God -glorifying biblical content and after all, everything that we have, everything that we are is by the grace of God and so by His grace, we want to live every day as God -Centered as we possibly can.
Here we're primarily on YouTube and we're working on a possible website destination.
Not sure how that's going to look like yet, but we do have our YouTube channel where we have Daily Bites of God's Word, which are shorter devotional style videos.
We've got the God -Centered Podcast, which will include everything from Bible study, which as of this recording, we're going through the book of Lamentations, but we also have things like God -Centered
Church, where we'll talk about the church, anything, any and all things God -Centered. Also, I plan on having some different things like some talk about mental health, maybe some leadership, maybe some
Q &A, a whole gamut of things and obviously, the prime thing is the preaching of the
Word of God and every week that I am able to record the sermon and have it available for you, we will do that as well.
So if you would like to reach out to us, you can at either andycainewebdesign at gmail .com
or andy at godcenteredtheology .com and if your church needs help with your website or online ministry, if you'd like to do a consultation or even have me help you to some degree, my time is a little limited, being that I do have a family and a full -time job and I'm pastoring, but situation by situation, we'll look and see can
I consult and we'll kind of see how I can help you, but I do want to try to be a help to as many people as I can and so that is as part of the deal as well.
So God bless you. I hope this welcome video, it's not very polished here.
We just kind of go with it and I just want to kind of give you a little overview of what
I've tried to accomplish and what you can expect and we'll go from there. So I hope to hear from you. If you want to partner,
I still have this dream of having a podcast with at least me and one other person where we'd almost do like a sports debate show type thing, only we would respect each other far more than what you see up there, but have these healthy debates where, you know, people use these formal debates and they plan them, but I would love to have just like one a week where we just pick a topic, debate it, and wrestle with the scriptures and so a lot of times we may agree, sometimes we may disagree, but I just think that would be very good to have that and just finding the right partner to do that dance would be great.
So if you're interested, reach out, let me know. We can talk and get to know each other. See if, you know, like dating to a degree.
Kind of see if there's a good personality vibe. See if the way we approach scripture is the same. See if we have the same ideas.
You know, who knows? May work out, may not. Either way, I just want you and I want myself to be as God -centered as we possibly can because there's no better, greater
God to serve because after all, there's only one. There's only one
God and He is one eternal being, shown Himself, revealed Himself rather to exist in three distinct persons,
Father, Son, and Spirit, and we are saved by Jesus Christ. We're indwelt by the Spirit, and all
Christians have a perfect Savior. Amen. Well, God bless you all.
