A Sure Hope

The Israelites witnessed a great miracle on Mt. Carmel and saw God do the impossible. Yet, it didn’t change their heart or cause them to believe in Him. Today Pastor Dave will challenge you to examine yourself and see if you do not just know God, but believe and trust Him. You may think that knowing about God is good enough. He wants more!

So often today, society will waver in their opinion of God. Someone may cry out to God if desperate but completely forget Him the next moment. Today, Pastor Dave challenges you to examine if you are double-minded. Don’t waver! If you believe in Christ, then follow Him! Give Him your life fully.

Nations, neighborhoods, or even homes without God can be very dark and difficult places. But those broken places are the very places that need the good news of God. Pastor Dave will teach today that God may send believers into these dark places, in order to shine His light on these needy people. The Lord will use you where you are!

There’s a false belief today amongst believers that they should only serve in areas of strength and they should be able to accomplish all things set before them. Well today, Pastor Dave will instead challenge you to faithfully follow Jesus, and rely on HIS strength and equipping to do that task. God will do miracles, even through your weakness.

You’ll face circumstances in your life that will tempt you to fear and doubt God. But God doesn’t want you to live in fear! Today, Pastor Dave will encourage you to seek to live by faith. Believe that God is able, that He’s working, and that He is good! Don’t allow fear to overpower you. Trust in God! And watch Him work.

The nation of Israel was dark and evil – King Ahab had led them away from God and God stopped blessing them. Elijah on the other hand was faithful and obedient to God. And, as Pastor Dave teaches today, God blessed his obedience. He provided everything that Elijah needed. Follow and obey God and He’ll bless you for that.

Many believers will proclaim that they want to be used mightily by God in this world. But, all too often, those same people don’t live a life that God would use for His good. Today, Pastor Dave will explain how you must be willing to follow God obediently in order to be used by Him. He’s faithful to use you as you walk faithfully where He leads!

Believers in God can sometimes feel alone and isolated in a culture of darkness. When you see the world as it is, you may feel like God has lost control. Well, today, Pastor Dave teaches that when society is falling into sin, God will send people in who will teach and convict of the Lord’s will. God will never let His people fall away.

It’s becoming more and more common today to see sin accepted and tolerated in our culture. In fact, sin is even being celebrated. Today, Pastor Dave will explain how the sin rampant in a nation can and will tear the nation apart. It happened to God’s nation of Israel. And it can happen here! Don’t tolerate sin. Speak out against it!

Many people, when they commit sin, have the viewpoint that it’s not harming anyone. They may even include others and think it’s no big deal. Yet, as Pastor Dave points out today when your sins cause someone else to sin, you’re going to be held to a harsher judgment. Don’t lead others to sin. God will judge you for that!
