A Sure Hope

Do you doze off in class? While it happens occasionally, imagine if you went to class and didn't learn or apply anything. Similarly, what if you attend church every Sunday but don't apply what you've learned? Today, Pastor Dave challenges you to take God’s Word beyond the church walls and make it a vital part of your life

Have you ever tried to get on a plane with someone else’s ticket? It doesn’t usually go well, right? The same happens when you try to be saved using someone else’s faith. There isn’t a friends and family pass for salvation; it’s a one-admit ticket, and today, Pastor Dave tells you that it’s a decision only you can make.

Have you ever heard a preacher say something that made you question what the Word of God teaches? In today’s message, Pastor Dave wants you to know that when you listen to someone behind the pulpit, everything they say or teach should reflect what the Bible says. And if it doesn’t align with the Word of God, turn it off!

What does your relationship with God tell you about your life? Are your actions a reflection of God or of yourself? In today’s message, Pastor Dave urges you to think about your walk with Jesus before you go into the world. Don’t lose focus on Christ, and let your life reflect your relationship with Him!

In this life, friends can become like family; sometimes, they look out for us, but other times, the things they want us to do aren’t good. So today, Pastor Dave encourages you to consider who you get your advice from and whether it aligns with God’s Word. If the people around you contradict what the Bible teaches, it isn’t from God.

Have you ever felt like you were walking around eggshells in your faith? Like if you messed up, your salvation would be in jeopardy? Today, Pastor Dave wants you to know that God doesn’t expect you to live a perfect life, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Your life in Christ should reflect Him: Jesus Christ!

Have you ever wondered if you were good enough for God? In today’s message, Pastor Dave wants you to know that God, the creator of His Word, the Bible, has a history of using small people for BIG things. And today, If you give your life to Jesus, you can do everything through Him who strengthens you; all you have to do is say yes!

In today’s message, Pastor Dave wants to assure you that you’ll have another chance. You’ll have the opportunity to look at your life and see that you can’t make it alone. Today is the day you hear the Word of God and decide: Will I continue my life as I always have, or will I give Jesus a chance to show me the way?

Most people who apply for a position will not get the job, but they will interview for an opportunity—a chance for a better future. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus healed many people and did many things, but today, Pastor Dave tells you that Jesus gave people an opportunity to believe in Him so that they could have everlasting life!

Many people spend their entire lives believing one thing and acting another. They’ll say they believe in God but act like He doesn’t exist outside of church. So ask yourself: Do you believe in what Jesus Christ can do for your life? In today’s message, Pastor Dave reminds you of where your heart should be: with Jesus Christ.
