Prayer changes a person’s heart toward another.  You might have someone in your life who is a thorn in your side.  They frustrate or irritate you to no end.  But what if you took the time to sit down and pray for that person?  What if you took an in-depth look and realized that that person was hurting and acted out, showing they were asking for help in all the wrong ways?  Today, Pastor Bill encourages you to go a little deeper and to pray for those you may not naturally connect with, for a supernatural result!  

That armor of God requires all the components, not just some.  If you go out to war, and you forget your helmet, there’s a high probability that you’re going to die of a head injury.  What about if you went out to battle barefoot?  You’d last seconds - before being incapable of moving forward.  Today, Pastor Bill is expressing the need for the full armor of God, and that by wearing that protection, you’re stepping out in faith, trusting God will fill in the gaps that you can’t.  But He equips you with His defense.  

God sees every good deed we do, even when it goes unnoticed by others. He understands the intention behind our actions and values our heart of service. And as Pastor Bill will remind you, while people may overlook or misunderstand your efforts, God is always aware. Your good works, done in humility and love, are precious to Him. He sees the sacrifices you make and promises to reward your faithfulness, knowing that your actions honor Him.

Doing everything as unto the Lord means approaching all tasks, big or small, with a heart of worship and obedience to God. Whether at work, school, or in relationships, our actions should reflect His love, excellence, and integrity. It’s about honoring God in every detail of life, knowing that your service is not for human approval but for His glory. When you serve with this mindset, even ordinary tasks become meaningful, bringing you closer to God and fulfilling His purpose for your life.

As young children, we usually cling to our parents; they are our whole world. But then, as time goes on, in our youth, we tend to shift to viewing them as a bother; they’re just always telling us what we can and cannot do. But then, once again, as adults, as we gain perspective, our respect for our parents is greater than before. Today, Pastor Bill relates to you the importance of honoring your parents. No matter what stage of life you’re in, God wants you to honor your parents, and He will bless you as you do.

Although goals may vary, I think it's safe to say that every parent wants the best for their kids. That’s why many parents instill in their kids the importance of hard work and consistency. The problem is that too often we prioritize the wrong things, like sports and academics, while neglecting their spiritual needs. In his message today, Pastor Bill encourages you as parents to prioritize your kids' need for Jesus. Sports and academics are fine, but only Jesus can save you and your kids from hell.

Our culture has really done a lot to degrade marriage. We use phrases like “The old ball and chain” when talking about our spouse. Husbands and wives are both guilty of griping about each other to their friends. That may be considered normal to some, but is it right? In his message today, Pastor Bill points out to you husbands that you should be loving your wives as your own bodies. Do you give the same attention to loving your wife as you do to eating food, getting exercise, or getting rest?

There are some tasks that require systematic repetition, but probably most jobs require you to have some flexibility. Most of the time, you can’t just go through the motions and expect perfect results; you’ve got to troubleshoot, experiment, and finesse things to get them right. Today, in his message, Pastor Bill teaches you that not every marriage relationship has the same dynamic. Husbands in particular, if you want to lead your wife well, you’ve got to get to know her to find the best way to lead her.

Some men, to their wives, are like, “I told her that I loved her, and I’ll let her know if that ever changes.” While at the same time, wives can’t seem to get enough of being told that they’re loved. But even more important than the husband saying he loves his wife is that he shows her that he does. Today in his message, Pastor Bill illustrates the love that husbands are supposed to have for their wives by pointing to the cross. Husband, do you love your wife like Christ loves? Is your love for her sacrificial?

Faith isn’t about just closing your eyes and hoping for the best; It’s about trusting that even though you don’t understand something, you know it does work. When was the last time you took time to evaluate the construction and reliability of your bed before you went to sleep in it? In today’s message, Pastor Bill teaches you that wives are to submit to their husbands in faith. Faith in God is about obeying His Word, because you trust that what He commands you to do is for your good and His glory.
