Many people today feel like they got the short stick, like they deserve more than they receive. Pastor Dave reminds us today that we don’t deserve anything other than death. You were meant to die on a cross but Jesus stepped in and took your place. Be thankful for the things that you do deserve, but never had to endure.

How often do you get an urge to do something and just jump right in? Today, Pastor Dave reminds us of David, who accomplished what God wanted him to do, but didn’t always seek the Lord first. Remember that there are lots of good thing you can do, but if you don’t seek God, you won’t receive His blessing.

Once you believe in the Lord, there’s a tendency to become stagnant in your faith. You say you believe, then you continue on in your life as before. Pastor Dave will challenge you to daily seek to grow closer to the Lord and more mature in your faith. It requires effort on your part. But God is so worth it!

Sometimes God’s promises feel really far off and impossible. You may be tempted to give up on the things God has promised you. However, Pastor Dave will encourage you today to wait patiently on the Lord. He is working in ways you can’t see. And as you wait for him, serve him. Press on in faith trusting God completely.

Differences between people and cultures can sometimes feel quite vast. They cause division, anger and fear. However, as Pastor Dave explains today, you must remember all believers of Christ are ONE. You are united. Seek to live your faith in unity with your brothers and sisters. Don’t allow differences to fracture the family of God!

It’s easy to cover up your inside. Hide your faults, sins, fears and weakness. It feels like the only way to survive. Today, Pastor Dave will encourage you to ask the Lord to reveal your heart to you. He will reveal to you things that need to change. And in his graciousness he will help you through it. It’s the only way to live a victorious life.

When you’re in a tense situation, it’s so easy to rely on people to help you through it. However, as Pastor Dave teaches today, when you put your hope in a person, you’ll always be disappointed. Only the Lord is faithful, strong and reliable. Men will fail but God will not. Your only hope is in the Lord.

Sometimes your circumstances feel so dire that you may be tempted to believe God has lost control. Things seem far from what He’s promised. Yet, as Pastor Dave will teach today, God is faithful. He is sovereign and will do everything He’s promised to do. You must have faith no matter what you’re experiencing.

The reality of faith is that as soon as you believe in Jesus, you have an enemy who seeks to draw you back to him. If you believe and follow God you’re not immune to tribulation. However, as Pastor Dave will explain today, by believing in and abiding closely with Jesus, you can have His peace despite any trouble.

People will betray and hurt you in this life. It’s simply the nature of fallen man. However, as Pastor Dave will explain today, these same people may realize their fault and failure. When they turn back, seeking restoration, show mercy and forgive them. Seek peace and unity like David did when his former adversaries recognized him as king.
