A Sure Hope

It’s so easy to follow the crowd. It’s much more difficult to swim against the current. Today, Pastor Dave is talking about the difference between doing what everyone else is doing, versus making a decision for yourself, regardless if it’s popular or not. Don’t be part of the mob, of the crowd that’s following the current.

Too often, Christians want to blame the government or blame society for all the social problems of the day.

May this be something you keep in mind today!

Do you ever have that feeling like someone’s following you? You look over your shoulder, but you don’t see anyone there. However, you still have that sense that someone’s watching you.

Just like trying to walk through a dark forest without light, it can be difficult to navigate life on your own. However, you weren’t meant to do this on your own.

Has the Lord ever called you out of a comfortable place? Many people experience God’s call to leave behind good things to follow Him, even starting with the twelve disciples.

Have you ever had 15 minutes of fame? Sometimes we get put in the spotlight without knowing what we did to deserve the attention. Today, Pastor Dave teaches how those who follow God faithfully are in Satan’s spotlight. Do we want to be anonymous believers, or proudly be on Satan’s Most Wanted list?

Satan is crafty and will try to deceive us with bogus gifts and miracles that mimic the workings of God. Will you recognize the difference when he tries to trick you?

We are going to go through troubled times. Where will you turn when you need comfort and direction? Today, Pastor Dave points us to Jesus, the only way to find true respite from the turmoils of life. Jesus is the Prince of Peace and as Christians, we have received His peace through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
