No matter how you might try to “fake it ‘till you make it,” it’s going to come to light that you’re not who you say you are.

When you don’t understand what’s happening and you’re frustrated about it, stop and think about this, “Am I trying to force this to happen, without consulting God about it?” Today, Pastor Dave reminds you that God has the best in mind for you and He just wants you to come to Him, for direction and lack of confusion.

Imagine going to Candyland and feasting on all things sugary. To a child, that sounds like heaven!

Counterfeit money is something that doesn’t get you very far. It looks and feels like the real thing, but somewhere down the road, it becomes obvious that it’s fake.

People like an entertaining show, where they’re in awe and wonder about some impressive feat. But as you’ll hear today, Pastor Dave wants you to know that people aren’t saved by signs and wonders. They’re saved by God’s Word and the working of God’s Spirit in your heart, to be saved!

Have you ever had someone who’s asked you what’s different about you? If so, there’s only one response that should come to mind.

When you sign up to follow Jesus, it’s exciting! But in the wake of salvation, there’s a realization of the fact that there will come challenging times if you truly seek after and live for Jesus. Today, Pastor Dave assures you that, like the disciples, trials will come, as you claim Jesus’ name on your heart. It’s a worthy sacrifice.
