In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you to rest in the work that Jesus did on the cross for all of humanity. As people, we like to think that we can work for everything. In our fast-paced culture, we can work for almost anything, a relationship, a promotion, or a new car... But the one thing that can't be worked for is our salvation. It can be easy to think that if you pray enough, go to church enough, or serve enough that God is pleased with you... God gives salvation freely and graciously!

In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you of an important truth for the Body of Christ. The Bible says that Christians are not to be of the world but rather merely in it. Over the years this has morphed into a “holier than thou” mindset for some, thinking that they're put on some kind of pedestal for following Jesus. This isn't the case. This command is a reminder to Christians that we aren't to participate in the things of the world that could soil our testimonies as believers. We're called to share the Gospel!

In today's message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to seek out fellow believers who might be a little further in their life and walk with Jesus. The Body of Christ is such an incredible community of people that you can learn from. The Body of Christ is a complex group of people made up of all ages, races, and life experiences. If you're struggling in an area of your life, it's very likely that another brother or sister in Christ has to! They've come out the other side and they have wisdom they can share!

In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you that the Bible calls Christians to love those around them who aren't Christians. As Christians, it can be easy to distance ourselves from people who aren't Christians because we don't want to get caught up in anything... But you can't retreat into your own little Christian bubble. You can't just only go to the Christian coffee shop, bookstore, and hang out places. Christians are called to go out into the world and make disciples! Your world is where you are!

In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind ministers that the work that they do for the Kingdom of God is not in vain and it blesses the Lord. Oftentimes, doing the work of the Kingdom of God is not an easy thing. In our own human strength, we burn out. We don't have the endurance or patience for what is required... But God gives all that you need and more for the work of His Kingdom. Through the Holy Spirit, you can be empowered to do anything that the Lord asks of you, you need His strength!

In today's message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to see your mistakes in a biblical light. The Bible defines sin as missing the mark set for you by what God says in the Bible... But how do you respond when you've sinned against God? Do you just brush it off and move on with your day? Or do you have a repentant heart towards the mistake you've made? Like any relationship, it's important that you apologize when you make a mistake that impacts someone else... And still, Jesus covers all sin forever!

In today's message, Pastor Bill will share with you that when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you won't be the same anymore. To be clear, Jesus doesn't strip you of your personality or physical appearance. However, the Bible says that when you enter into a relationship with Jesus, you are made into a new creation. That new creation is one who is washed free of their sins, made righteousness in God's eyes, and made whole by the blood of the lamb. We remain ourselves, just better.

In today's message, Pastor bill will remind you that God has called all different kinds of people to the family of God. While we all come from different families, countries, and backgrounds, each of us is called to be a part of the family of God. The Bible doesn't promote people discriminating against other people for their differences. None of us are perfect but everyone deserves to be treated with respect within the church. Jesus treated social outcasts with respect, how much more should we respect each other?

In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you that some of the people who do great things for God have the best stories to tell of Christ's redemption in their lives. Imagine for a moment that someone who has a history of drunkenness wants to discuss that with someone in the church and seek help. Who would be the best person to talk with them about that? The person who has never had any alcohol or the person who overcame their own drunkenness through Jesus? God brings the right people to us.

In today's message, Pastor Bill will share with you that when you choose to place your trust in the Lord, stress can become a less prevalent part of your life. Stress is a feeling that no one likes, we all want to find ways to reduce stress in our lives. Maybe you've tried working out, meditation, or something else but those are only temporary fixes for stress. Stress can be reduced more permanently by placing what worries you into the hands of the one who is in control of the world... And created you.
