A Sure Hope

Does your heart ache and groan for the lost people you know? Today, Pastor James reminds us of the urgency of sharing the gospel of Christ.

How do you react to the storms in your life? Do you have faith and hope in the tumultuous times you encounter?

Do you ever have projects you do not complete? You are God’s project, “His workmanship.” Today, Pastor Dave reminds us that God has given you enough promises to meet your every need.

Has someone ever broken a promise to you? Have you ever broken a promise to someone else? In today’s message, Pastor Dave teaches that the validity of a promise is contingent on the faithfulness and integrity of the one who made the promise. God is faithful and able, and He will keep all His promises to you.

We’ve all done things we aren’t proud of and fall short of perfection. How do you respond to that reality? Do you try harder to be good? Do you run from God because of your guilt and shame? Today, Pastor Dave encourages you to draw closer to God. He knows everything about you and still loves and accepts you.

What anchors you firmly during the storms of life? Is it your bank account? Your relationships? Your talent and skills? While those are all great blessings, they can all slip away and fail you when you need them most. Today, Pastor Dave teaches you that the only firm anchor that can get you through the storms of life is God.

Have you ever given up anything to follow after Jesus? Maybe it was a lucrative career or a life of ease and comfort. In today’s message, Pastor Dave teaches that the Apostle Paul gave up his good career, famed reputation, and high status as a Pharisee to follow Jesus. This seems crazy to the world. But Jesus is so worth it!

In our culture, no one bats an eye when someone is obsessed with a celebrity or a sports team. But if you’re dedicated to following Jesus, you’re labeled a Jesus freak. Today, Pastor Dave teaches that should not surprise us. Even Jesus’ own brothers thought He was crazy. Be bold and unashamed for Jesus!

Has God called you to do something difficult? Are you experiencing significant obstacles in following God?

Have you ever been so focused on accomplishing a goal that nothing could stop you? Today, Pastor Dave teaches that the Apostle Paul was so committed to obeying Jesus that nothing could hinder Him. It wasn’t fear that motivated Paul, but rather, it was God’s love. Are you fully committed to obeying Jesus?
