A Sure Hope

The best news in all of scripture is that God has made a covenant with us and he bears the consequences if the covenant is broken—by us or by him. We know he doesn't break his word, which means he is carrying the weight of our sin. Pastor Dave is bringing us some great news today about our covenant in Christ.

The only way to overcome is through the power of God's strength and the power of his might! When we feel we can do it on our own, we're flirting with disaster. But Pastor Dave brings us today into the fullness of the idea that though we are weak, we are strong because of the power of God at work inside of us!

When is reading the word of God a bad thing? When all you're doing is reading and you don't allow the word into your heart to change you from the inside out! Take a moment today to ponder what Pastor Dave is saying; are you just reading the word or are you allowing it to change you and living it out in real life?

We all have bad days and sometimes bad seasons. Have you ever let that create feelings of rebellion in your heart? Pastor Dave is going to bring us to a rebellion in the time of the Kings today, and show us what the end of that rebellion looks like. Guard your heart against rebellion and continue to walk in the light!

Bitterness sometimes feels like it doesn't hurt anyone else. Like we can nurse that little root and it won't affect the rest of our lives. But if you allow it to stay, you're risking everything! Pastor Dave will show us today how that root will grow and turn us against others and then we'll find ourselves fighting against God.

Are you one of those people who serve silently in the background? You're happy to do it, of course, because you know who you're serving and what you're called to do! But you still might feel that twinge of jealousy as the person on stage gets recognized, again. Pastor Dave says to give it to the Lord; he exalts!

As a believer, you may feel you’re in a battle. But Jesus never intended you to fight in this life alone. He’s not just a big guy in the sky watching His people figure out life. Today, Pastor Dave will remind you that God’s with you in all things. You can stand firm with God through prayer, scripture, fellowship, and relying on the Holy Spirit.

Jesus warns His followers that on this earth you’ll experience troubles. Life as a believer in Christ will not always be easy. But, as Pastor Dave teaches today, you’re not alone. God is with you and has given you the answer to surviving and thriving in this life. Abide with – cling to Jesus. In all things, hold onto and trust Jesus!

Sometimes, in ministry, you’ll be tempted to compare your life, your call, your resources with someone else. But, as Pastor Dave teaches today, God wants you simply to keep your eyes on Him alone. Don’t waste energy and strength looking around at others. God will give you exactly what you need for your particular season.

Sometimes, the Lord will give you difficult words or ask challenging things of you. The bible is clear, you will suffer on earth because you believe in Jesus. And, as Pastor Dave will explain today, God’s preparing you even now and asking if you will still follow Him, love Him and stay strong in your faith if you have to suffer.
