Has God been faithful to you? Has God proven Himself to you? Can you trust Him? Pastor Bill teaches us today that God's resources are not man's resources. God owns everything. Yes, sometimes we struggle, but struggles are what God uses to mature His children. God is a proven and present help in times of trouble. We can trust Him because He knows us better than we know ourselves. Let's let go of what we clutch so tightly in our hands, and let God bring His resources to accomplish His goals.

Are you trying to put God in a box? You only allow Him to go so far and that's it. What happens when you restrict God? In today's message, Pastor Bill reminds us that God doesn't fit into a box. No matter how many times man has tried to build a box and stuff God in it, God always bursts out of it. Church history is littered with man's failed attempts to bring God's kingdom to Earth. God is in charge, and we are not. We need to remember that unless God builds the house, we labor in vain. God will complete His work His way.

Did you hear that? What do you think the church is made of? Pastor Bill reminds us today that the church is not a building but is made up of people. According to the Apostle Peter, the church is God's people gathering in His name to form a spiritual temple or dwelling place for God. Notice that God's temple is made up of living stones and not bricks. We are not bricks in a wall. God uses stones of irregular, unique shapes and sizes to form His church. Let's allow God to shape us and fit us into the temple where He dwells.

Anyone should be welcome in the church. No matter how dirty or sinful or what social status someone is, God can forgive them. He can move just as easily in anyone when their heart is set on Him. What He looks for is a heart that's truly willing to serve Him and do what He calls them to. Today, Pastor Bill's going to remind you that it's not your place to pick who or who not to share God's Word with. God just wants you to be faithful to share it with anyone, so He can move in their hearts in His timing.

God made it very clear to every Christian through what He showed to Peter that His Kingdom is for anyone that wants it. No matter where someone's from, what they drive, or where they work, or even their political views. Today, Pastor Bill's going to show you that God's love is so abundant and so good that He'll forgive anything you've ever done if you just turn to Him. His forgiveness doesn't see things like race or background. He just sees when a heart is trusting in Him alone for salvation.

Anyone can come to Christ and believe in Him and turn their life over to Him to be saved. Anyone. Through Him, you can have peace that nothing can take away in your soul and joy in hope for eternity with Jesus. Today, Pastor Bill's going to show you that the basic message the apostles taught in the early church was just that: the forgiveness of sins and turning your life over to Christ. It's what the main message should look like today, too, because at the center of everything you do for Christ.

Anyone can come to Christ and believe in Him and turn their life over to Him to be saved. Anyone. Through Him, you can have peace that nothing can take away, and joy in hope for eternity with Jesus in Heaven. Today, Pastor Bill's going to show you that the basic message the apostles taught in the early church was just that: the forgiveness of sins and turning your life over to Christ.

One quality that God looks for in someone to do His good works is humility. Someone who won't become conceited or prideful, and that will always give God the credit for what He does. Today, Pastor Bill's going to show you some traits of a person that God's looking to use. Are you ready to go when He calls you, to do whatever He lays on your heart, and to point all glory and credit back to Him when it's time? There's no limit to what God can do through someone that's totally sold out to Him.

Jesus paid the ultimate price for you to be able to go into Heaven to spend eternity with Him. He came to earth and died as a sacrifice for your sins so you could be cleansed of them and have the hope for eternity that only God can give. Today, Pastor Bill's going to encourage you to show proof of your hope in your life. Is it clear to the people around you that you follow Christ? You might be the only example someone ever has of what a true follower of Christ should look like in how they live.

Do you want to see God move in your life more than you do now? Do you want to have an active relationship with Him, spending time with Him every day? Today, Pastor Bill's going to show you how God just wants you to have a heart that's ready to move when He says to and that lives according to His Word, sharing it with others. How would you expect God to move in someone and reveal more of Himself to them if they never go out and reveal Him to others around them they see every day?
