Often prejudice is taught from a very young age. Such was the case with the Jewish bias towards the Gentiles. Pastor Dave shares how this pride was exhibited as a "lofty air" and contempt for this group. When such pride is taught at a young age, it can be assumed as accurate. However, one must examine the prejudice as an adult and change their ways.

In Pastor Dave's message today, he shares how he longs for a heart that breaks for all to come to Christ. He recognizes, like many, that his heart is not there, but that through the Holy Spirit, it can get there. The Holy Spirit can create a love for Christ in you so strong that your heart also longs for all to come to know Christ.

To attract more people to church, congregations will often embrace the ways of the world. God's grace is sufficient to all, and you should never add to or take away from Scripture to please people. Today, Pastor Dave encourages you to live the truths found in the Bible regardless of how appealing they are to the people of this world.

What can cause the Holy Spirit to be quenched and grieved? The simple practice of gossip. Not only popular in school, but gossip is all too common in a Bible-preaching church. As Pastor Dave shares today when you encounter a person gossiping, you should ignore them and direct them back to the word of God.

The church is the fellowship of believers coming together to learn and worship the Father. Pastor Dave shares today that fellowship is vital for several reasons. You'll receive the shepherding of the pastor, encouragement from other believers and experience the Lord's presence.

Have you ever met someone who essentially speaks on the behalf of God regarding His will in the lives of other believers? While it's not entirely uncommon to receive revelation from others, we would do well to be careful. In today's message, Pastor Dave will teach you the importance of discerning God's will in your life over that of man's.

If we were to be perfectly honest, each and every one of us have wondered what God's will is for our lives. The question is, just how exactly do we find out? In today's message, Pastor Dave will teach us the importance of seeking out God's will in our lives through both diligent prayer and the study of His Word.

As easy as it is for us to take it for granted, we would do well to be mindful of the sacrifices and selflessness of the generations that preceded us. As Pastor Dave will teach you in his message today, carelessness in ministry, whatever shape or form, is a sure way to tarnish that which was so diligently cared for and preserved by others.

As believers and followers of Christ, one of the responsibilities we've received is to be stewards of the younger generation. In today's message, Pastor Dave teaches us that while we might be quick to dismiss this responsibility as a role for elders and pastors, each of us can take part in strengthening our youth in The Lord.

What do you find that motivates you the most as a follower of Christ? For many of us, our inspiration is found in none other than Matthew 25:21. But how many of us actually live in such a way? In today's message, Pastor Dave will encourage you to live out your life in anticipation of that great and glorious day when we stand before The Lord.
