What is the Nazarite vow, and how did it come to be? In today’s message, Pastor Bill will help listeners understand the history and significance behind the few who made this commitment. This lifelong consecration began from birth, and many disciplines would need to be followed, even from a young age. The faithfulness of such individuals is admirable, and there are always lessons to be learned. Ask the Lord to expand your knowledge, and reveal how this passage may impact your life.

We know that the deepest consequences of sin always start somewhere, so how do we avoid walking down that road? In today’s teaching, Pastor Bill will challenge listeners to not even play around with the idea of sin in their lives. Too often, the question is how far can I with this sin and it still be okay? The Lord wants us to avoid its path entirely! Good will never come from toying with sinful lusts or desires, and the enemy will always look to capitalize. How can you protect yourself from sin?

Have you been looking for ways to “justify” your own sin, so that you might continue in it? Today, Pastor Bill teaches listeners that God’s Word always has been and always will be the ultimate authority. Just because His commandments don’t cater to your happiness, does not mean you can ignore His Word! The Lord always knows what is best for you, even if there is some sacrifice that is required. Where might you have compromised Truth in order that you could take the “easy way out?”

How important is unity for a family? What about for the body of Christ? In today’s message, Pastor Bill challenges listeners to be active members in promoting unity in all relationships. A church cannot thrive if its members, let alone its staff, are at odds with one another. The Lord desires us to be of one mind, and one accord, in our service to Him. What prominent roles do you hold in your life? Even as a parent, God wants the unity of your family to be a light that points others back to Him!

Are there issues that you need to sort out with the Lord or with others? In today’s teaching, Pastor Bill will walk through God’s guidance to the Israelites in Numbers 5. The Lord knows that in order to maximize service, you need to be at peace, and with a clear conscience, before both Him and others. He does not want you to live at odds with other people, and strife amongst one another can hinder your ability to grow. How can you pursue restoration with the Lord or with others in your life today?

Even in the Old Testament, God designed the principle of “teamwork” because He knew it would be the most effective. Today, Pastor Bill will show listeners how the Lord had different roles assigned to different people, much like He operates today. There is nothing about this life of serving the Lord that calls us to be isolated. He not only desires that we work together to serve Him, but He knows that community is best for our personal growth as well. How can you be best used for ministry in your life?

As members of this world for many years, mankind has designed many exciting systems, processes, gadgets, etc. in an effort to make life “easier” or more “enjoyable.” In today’s message, Pastor Bill will remind listeners that “easy” and “enjoyable” are not the determining factors for our decisions, but that it should always be according to what God says. It may be enticing to look at the way the world operates, and want to merge such with the things of God, but you should never compromise His Word for the world!

God has given us the call to follow Him, and it is because we get to serve the Lord that we obey, not because a man has advised us to do so. In today’s teaching, Pastor Bill will talk through the commands given to the Israelites, and the similarities and differences that exist for us today. It is freeing to simply believe and obey God from the heart, as opposed to checking the boxes of a system that we follow. He wants genuine faith, and because of what He accomplished, we can experience a real relationship with Him!

The Lord has uniquely designed each of us with specific giftings to serve Him in our own personal ways. Today, Pastor Bill will encourage listeners to not become envious of the roles or abilities that others may have, but to embrace how God created you! Not every Christ-follower will be or should be, used in the same way. The Lord desires for all to serve Him, in the best ways that He has equipped us. How has God designed you? Ask Him to provide opportunities for you to maximize your gifts!

Why should you “give your best” to God? Because He is The Lord! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will remind you of the many ways The Lord has “come through” for you, just as He did for Israel time and time again. It may seem daunting at times, the expectations that God has for those who follow Him, but a key motivator is always remembering where you were then, and where you are now. It is all because of Jesus that you can experience eternal life. Give Him your absolute best today!
