Imagine if the Jubilee Year were still a practice in our world today. As Pastor Bill just said, the natural human tendency toward greed would likely overtake most people. When the forty-ninth year arrived, most people would be applying for every credit card they could and then MAXING them out, spending on anything and everything, frivolously. Today, you’ll learn from Pastor Bill that this was never God’s intention for the Jubilee Year…the Jubilee Year was intended to keep land within the tribes they were originally given.

Wisdom in tough moments is like pausing at a crossroads to check your map. In today’s message, Pastor Bill unveils how rushing to judge a situation can lead you astray.

The Holy Spirit’s guidance is like wind catching a sail, pushing you forward with purpose.

Your attitude as a Christian can stand out, like a lamp lighting up a gloomy room.

Prayer is like a direct line to heaven, a privilege you hold as God’s child. In today’s message, Pastor Bill unveils how believers have unique access to prayer.
