One of the greatest gifts a mother can give to her child is displaying the kind of love that God has for us as His children. So much of what a mother does is giving of herself – from the time that she conceives a child, to the time her child becomes an adult, there’s so much self-sacrifice and love poured out on her child. Today, Pastor Bill expresses the sacrificial love that’s being talked about in 1st Corinthians 13. It’s never something that’s looking for how it benefits you personally, but how you can bless others.

Love and jealousy. Many times they play off of one another. You see something you like or you love, but then you’re jealous if another has that, or if they’re experiencing love and you want what they have. These are things that Pastor Bill is touching on today, as he covers the most famous chapter about love. We’re in 1st Corinthians, and there are a lot of things that love is. But there are also many aspects that love isn’t. The goal today is that as you listen, you’ll come to a new realization of how to live out love.

No person is too young or too old to be used by God! Pastor Bill reveals in today’s message that no matter where you’re at in life God can mightily work through you. He has created you in unique ways with unique gifts to serve and edify the Church. Pastor Bill encourages you to get involved in serving your local Church body regularly. Maybe it’s in teaching, worship, or greeting but every person in God’s Kindom has a role to play. Use the gifts God’s given you to shine out for His glory.

In the Bible, believers would place remembrance stones to recall the amazing things God had done for them. Pastor Bill shares within today’s message the encouragement to recount God’s faithfulness in your life. Big and small, God has helped you. Document or journal all of these moments where God has lent you His helping hand. Pastor Bill explains that at times it can be easy to feel forgotten by God in your faith journey. But when you recount all of the ways He’s been faithful, you see He’s been with you every step.

Every part of the body is vitally important to its function and survival. As you receive Pastor Bill’s message today, he encourages you to seek the Lord on the part that you have to play within your local church body. What gifts and talents has the Lord entrusted you with to serve Him and your brothers and sisters in Christ? Pastor Bill encourages you to see the needs that are not being met currently and how you might have the resources to meet them. Serve in whatever capacity the Lord is calling you to.

Everyone on this planet is in desperate need of a Savior. In today’s message, Pastor Bill levels the playing field teaching that, unlike the world, God doesn’t discriminate. There is no division, class system, or grouping. Every human needs Jesus as their Savior. No one group is above needing Jesus. Pastor Bill encourages you to receive salvation today. Don’t put off Jesus until tomorrow because tomorrow is never guaranteed. Receive Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life today and live abundantly with Him.

Are you in need of healing? Pastor Bill teaches within today’s message the power of a praying church. Take every matter, sickness, and concern to the Lord. Ask your brothers and sisters in Christ to gather around and pray on your behalf. Pastor Bill understands that there is space for modern medicine and intervention as well as the ability for God to heal. No matter what, let prayer be your first response. Ask the Lord to heal, to help, and to guide you in wisdom for more direction. Seek Him in prayer.

Do you make time to take every care and concern to the Lord first? In today’s message from Pastor Bill, he encourages you to have a life that’s dedicated to prayer. Instead of going to a friend, family member, or medicine cabinet, try going to your knees first. God cares about every detail of your life. He knows your needs and desires before you even express them. Pastor Bill emphasizes the point of going to the Lord in prayer daily for all that you need. Know that God’s character and love never change.

It’s important to understand that the Holy Spirit is to be yielded to. As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Bill, he reveals to you that some people have a misunderstanding about the Holy Spirit. They think that they must somehow work and embrace the Spirit’s movement upon them. However, Pastor Bill shares that it’s not a matter of the Holy Spirit taking over as it is you yielding to Him. The Holy Spirit isn’t some freaky third wheel of the Trinity. He is a loving God who empowers you to proclaim Christ!

Unless the Lord has really spoken a word to you for someone else, be careful in saying “Thus sayeth the Lord.” Pastor Bill urges you in today’s message to be careful about what you say to others that you’re ministering to is or is not from the Lord. Understand that most people are just wanting someone to come alongside them. Not to fix and explain away all of their problems. Pastor Bill encourages you to be a listening ear for others and to only offer words from the Lord after much prayer and conviction.
