Are you an American or a Christian? Maybe you’re both, but where do you draw your identity from more if you had to choose one? In today’s message, Pastor Bill makes the great point that your time here on earth as an American citizen is temporary. Your citizenship in heaven is eternal, so don’t make the mistake of equating being a Christian with being an American. Above all, you are a citizen in the Kingdom of Heaven, and that Kingdom has no borders. Bow down and give your allegiance to the King.

Are you living for this life or the next life? Are your dreams and goals based in this life? It’s easy for all of us to get distracted. We’re bombarded by commercials selling us products, and we can get distracted by the materialistic lifestyles of our friends on social media. In his message today, Pastor Bill will remind you that the things of this life will fade away. Instead of pursuing the treasures of this life, spend your time and passion on the things that God treasures, and you will have treasures in heaven.

Did you realize that God chose you to be in His Kingdom? You coming to Christ wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t something that just randomly happened. In his message today, Pastor Bill will remind you that God picked you purposely. No matter how sinful and depraved you were before Jesus, God chose you. It can be hard to grasp because you might think you didn’t deserve it. You didn’t, but God chose you. You are a greatly loved child of God, so let that truth impact you today. Be grateful that you are chosen.

Is your life completely surrendered to Christ? Do you need to take a look at some of your dreams and passions and bring them in alignment with God’s plans for you? God isn’t something you can just add on top of your life. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will challenge you to reset your life. Are you building your life on Christ? The house that was your life was built on sand before you gave your life to Jesus, but now you need to start from scratch and build your life on the Rock, the Sure Foundation.

Do you understand that God lives in you? Maybe you believe it, but have you really considered how amazing that is? You have access to God at any time. You don’t have to travel far away to a temple. In his message today, Pastor Bill will challenge you to consider how being God’s dwelling place should impact how you live. You may have heard the term that your body is a temple, but that is greater than just eating healthy food. Pay attention to what spiritual food you let in, and know that God is with you always.

What are you looking for when you look into a mirror? Aren't you checking to see if you're acceptable? In his message today Pastor Bill tells us that The Bible is God's mirror. When we look into God's Word, aren't we checking to see if we're acceptable to God? Just like a mirror, The Bible may show us that we're doing great. Other times, we see that we need to change. God's Word tells us what we should be like. Let's examine ourselves by looking into God's Holy Word and be quick to change if we need to.

When we go to a car wash, we expect our car to come out clean. If it doesn't, then we expect our money back. In his message today, Pastor Bill teaches us that when we go to The Bible, we should expect our minds and hearts to come out clean. God's Word changes what we do and how we act. God's Word is a powerful cleanser. It washes our minds and cleans our hearts so we can function as effective children of God. Let's come to God's Word with humility and allow it to change us from the inside out.

Did you know that God paid a great price for you? Jesus paid for you with His blood. Pastor Bill reminds us today that our lives are not our own. Our spiritual life begins when we accept Jesus as our Savior. When we submit to Him, He moves in and takes charge. Jesus does not like roommates. We can continue to fight Jesus for control of our lives, but eventually, He'll win. The sooner we submit to Him, the better we’ll be. Let's lay down our lives before The One Who laid down His life so that we can live.

Who makes the decisions in your life? How much sway does Jesus have in your life? In his message today, Pastor Bill contends that making Jesus Lord of our lives means He directs our decisions. We simply hear and obey. Submitting our decisions to Him is very wise because God knows and has seen our future. He's the best one to guide us in all we do. He has proven Himself to be faithful. We can trust Him. Let's acknowledge Him in all our ways and watch Him direct our paths.

Are you living a set-apart life? Does God have all of you? Today Pastor Bill challenges us to examine our motivations. Does our stuff have us or does Jesus have us? Where are our hearts? If God asked us to, could we stop doing what we're doing? Could we give up our phones, could we give up our cars, could we change friends, if God asked us to do that? God commands us to be Holy just as He’s Holy. He's asking us to be solely His. He doesn't want to share us with anyone or anything. Let's bow to Him alone.
