A Sure Hope

Patience is key in the life of every believer. We live in this world for only a short period of time, and we’ve become accustomed to getting things when we want them. As Pastor Dave will point out in today’s message, while it can be extremely hard to wait on God’s timing, His timing and answers are perfect.

Judas likely believed Jesus was the Messiah. But the problem was, he wanted something very different from the Messiah than what Jesus came to offer. He wanted political power, wealth, and status. As Pastor Dave will warn us in today’s message, we need to be careful that our hearts are truly faithful to Jesus and His mission.

If you’ve ever had a friend or family member, then you’ve experienced betrayal on some level. You’ve probably been guilty of it as well. Today, Pastor Dave will remind us that we’re not alone. Jesus experienced the ultimate betrayal at the hands of Judas – the covert defector whose heart never truly followed Him.

Have you had your watershed moment with Jesus? There are only two ways you can go when you’re confronted with that decision. As Pastor Dave will explain in today’s message, choosing to put it off is equivalent to rejection. Eternal life and restoration of your broken soul are available now - don’t put it off any longer.

The trajectory of our existence in this world changed when Jesus came in the flesh. You can’t escape the effect He had. As Pastor Dave will point out in today’s message, even our calendar was changed by Jesus. Have you experienced the transformation He wants to bring in your own heart?

God already sent Jesus to die on the cross for you. Long before you were even born. Before you thought a sinful thought or attempted any good deeds. As Pastor Dave will remind us today, nothing you can do – absolutely nothing – can affect God’s love for you. He loves you and you just have to lean into it.

The tongue can be one of the most powerful, destructive weapons you have. It can also be an extremely effective tool for good. Today, Pastor Dave will challenge us to be careful what we say. A word of complaint at the wrong time can reflect poorly on your Savior and even lead someone to reject Him for eternity.
