In your walk with Jesus, have you ever gone through the motions? Have you ever been doing the right things, but for all the wrong reasons? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that works alone will never get you into God’s kingdom, only Jesus will. When you serve the Lord just to check off the boxes, it doesn’t actually further His Kingdom. Instead, it only serves to feed your own delusions about your relationship with Christ. Remain in closeness with God and be a powerful catalyst for Him.

When was the last time you repented? Have you ever done something incredibly awful, but felt no reassurance after confessing it to someone? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that if you want to experience escape from your past mistakes, you need to give it all to God. You will never feel released until you let God take all of your burdens. Get out of your own way and let God will change you from the inside out. There is nothing you can do on your own. Be washed clean by God’s grace.

As Christians in our legalistic society, it’s easy to do what we want to do while still staying away from sin. We love it when we’re right next to crossing the line, but still remaining pure in the sight of the Lord by not completely crossing it. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to avoid sin with everything you are. There is no such thing as “cutting it close.” Instead, you need to focus on staying as far away from it as you can. The closer you are to sin, the faster you’ll slip into its clutches.

In our achievement-based society, it’s safe to say that most of us are constantly trying to better ourselves. Whether it’s through therapy, self-help books, or medications, every day we are trying to be better. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to fix yourself like you intend to. The wisdom of the world will always fail you and you’ll constantly be chasing what you desire. Seek after God’s wisdom and be transformed into the person you truly want to be.

In your faith journey, have you ever felt persecution for what you believe? Have you ever felt pressure to bend your beliefs, even from other Christians? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that if you want to maintain your closeness with God, you need to stay steadfast in His truths. The world will always try to tell you why you’re wrong, but God will come through for you time and time again. The more you back down from what you know to be true, the further from God you’ll be. Stand strong for God’s truths.

As Christians, one of the most difficult trials of our faith is when God tests us. We want to believe that He is working everything for our good, but when times are rough, do we maintain this belief? Or does it drive us away from Him? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that no matter what, you need to trust in God’s process. He is always working everything for your best and the more you try to push away His plans, the less satisfied you’ll be. Remain steadfast through all the tests that come your way.

As Christians living in our materialistic world, it’s easy to let God slip away from being our top priority. Whether it’s wealth, possessions, or status, we let the world tell us what to value and forget about God altogether. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to always put God first in everything you do. No matter how important some other pursuit may seem, God will always remain the most important thing in your life. Value what matters most and store up your treasures in Heaven.

As Christians in our current society, it’s common to mistake God’s grace for a free pass. We let things slide and eventually, find ourselves making the same mistakes as the world. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that showing God’s love to someone isn’t letting them continually live in sin. Yes, it’s essential to be a loving light for God’s glory to the world, but letting someone make the same mistakes repeatedly is hurtful. Don’t backslide to the world’s standards. Be vital for God’s kingdom.

That could be pretty creepy if you think about it! Someone is always watching you. No, thank you! I don’t want someone checking up on me, and watching every time I mess up. In his message today, Pastor Bill will point out that as a believer, it should be comforting that God is watching. God cares about you, and He’s not making a list of your failures. He’s watching out for you. He wants you to succeed. He’s for you, not against you. So rest in the promise that God cares, and will always be there for you.

That’s such a challenging question, isn’t it? Are you a good lampstand? Are you making a point in your daily life to let Christ’s light shine through you? In today’s message, Pastor Bill will remind you that there are places you go every day that need the light of Christ. There are people walking in the dark who don’t even know that they are blind. Shine your light. There are people in desperate, hopeless situations. Shine your light. There are people who need to feel Christ’s love today. Shine your light.
