A Sure Hope

Sometimes, things being written down help you remember them. But what about when you have something memorized? It tends to stick in your mind even more! Today, Pastor Dave touches on things being imprinted onto your heart, so that it’s permanently engraved into the fibers of who you are and how you live.

It’s natural to desire compliments from others for a job well done. But when it comes to serving God, your source of validation should come straight from the One you’re doing it for, not for the people in the periphery. Today, Pastor Dave says to make sure your motivations are for God’s purposes, not your own.

Candles are one of those things that bring warmth to a room. They’re homey and comforting, in some ways. But their purpose is to bring light and eventually, they burn out, having expended themselves. Today, Pastor Dave talks about having a similar effect on the world, like John the Baptist. Be a light, and give your all for Jesus!

Popeye ate spinach and all of a sudden, he was strong, with big muscles! Today, why not visualize the Holy Spirit in a similar way in your life? Pastor Dave mentions in his message that the Holy Spirit in your life is like having spiritual muscles that God’s built into you, as you choose to live for Him, and let Him work through you.

There’s a stubbornness in each of us, insisting that we do things our own way. But do you ever stop and realize that maybe your way isn’t the best way? Today, Pastor Dave includes himself in this struggle between following self and following God. There’s a better way, and Jesus knows exactly what that should be, so follow Him!

Today is the day for salvation! As you learn from Pastor Dave’s message today, tomorrow might not ever come. None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow. We have today. Don’t put off receiving Jesus as your Savior. Decide to follow and receive Him today! Eternity is real. You must decide where you’ll spend it.

God’s Word is powerful and transformative! Pastor Dave reminds you in today’s message that the Word of God never returns void. It’s living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. Be encouraged that the Bible is transformative. It will refine you to be more like Jesus and less like the world. Stay rooted in Scripture.

Unlike what the world would say, there’s only ONE way to the Father in Heaven and it’s through Jesus Christ! Today, Pastor Dave explains that not all roads lead to God. Only Jesus is the answer for salvation, eternity, and the forgiveness of sins. No one and nothing else can earn you the right to stand before God.

Seek to be in tune with the Lord. In today’s message from Pastor Dave, he encourages you to grow each day in your faith journey with God. Study His Word, seek His counsel through prayer, and live out His loving kindness to the world around you. Each day as you look to Jesus, as Him to help you to be more like Him.

You don’t need a “religion.” You need a relationship! As you learn in today’s message from Pastor Dave, Christianity isn’t so much about being in a religion as it is being in a relationship with the One who can give LIFE. A Savior who came and died for you! Knowing Him, trusting Him, and living on into eternity with Him.
