There is nothing God won’t do or use, to get one of His people to believe! When we’re in a desperate time, a low valley, or any difficult situation, God will reach out and pick us back up, and give us the strength and courage to continue! In today’s message, Pastor Marc will share with you a few stories in the Bible of how God did amazing - just so they would believe and trust Him! So, as you go throughout your day, keep an eye out for God, who may be trying to reach out to you!

When you’re going through a difficult season or situation, how do you respond? Do you respond in a kind and understanding way or an angry and frustrated way? Do you respond like Paul and Silas? In today’s message, Pastor Marc will encourage you to trust in the Lord, in the midst of those times of desperation, and respond by being with God! Take your time, as you’re struggling to pray and worship! Then take a step back, as God works out everything for His ultimate glory!

The time we have here on earth is very limited. In comparison to our eternity with God, it’s nothing. It will go by in the blink of an eye. Along with our small amount of time here, we also have limited things. Our houses, our cars, our jobs, any and all possessions are one day going to cease to exist. In today’s message, Pastor Marc will remind you to save your treasures in heaven! Don’t be worried about your inanimate objects here, but care about your eternal salvation, which will allow you to live eternally with God!

Can you praise God during your despair? Do you trust God enough to rejoice during hard times? Pastor Marc, today, encourages us to do just that. We can rise above our own hurt to see God's perspective on our situation. When we gain God's perspective, we can understand that there is a purpose for this hard time. God doesn't allow hard times to amuse Himself. He has a specific purpose in this hard time. Let's learn to trust Him enough to worship and adore Him right in the middle of our pain.

Did God ever send you to help someone? How did it turn out? In his message today, Pastor Marc tells us to be ready to go when God sends us to someone specific. It may be the person behind you in the grocery line. It may be someone you see on the street. It may even be someone who goes to church with you. It's an honor to serve God in this way. It's exhilarating to know that you heard from God and were used by Him to bless someone who really needed it. Let's listen closely to God's voice and be ready to go.

Does it drive you nuts to wait on God? You know what He wants, so why not do it now? Today, Pastor Marc cautions us to learn to rest in the wait. We might know what God wants us to do, but, many times, we don't know when He wants it done. Timing in God's Kingdom is so important. Untimely ministry can be devastating. It could do more harm than good. But how beautiful and fruitful ministry can be when the what and the when align with God's will. Let's wait when God says “wait” and go when He says “go.”  

Do you feel all alone in your spiritual walk? Are you lost in a sea of people? In his message today, Pastor Marc encourages us to develop relationships with other believers who can help us grow spiritually. Indeed, we all need to be challenged, encouraged, and useful to someone else. Many times, we grow the most when we interact with others. People help us know God better, and God helps us relate to people better. Let's ask God to put us around mature believers who will spur us on in our spiritual walk.

Are you weary and loaded with worry? Could you use some rest for your soul? In his message today, Pastor Marc teaches us that when we spend time focused on Jesus, He'll give us rest. Indeed, our souls find deep rest when we call out to Jesus and spend time listening to His sweet, comforting words. Peace surrounds us like a warm blanket comforting our troubled souls when we go into His presence. It’s amazing how little many of us experience the place of peace found when we get around Him. Let's abide in Jesus today.

Are you that child? The one trying to improve The Master's work with a crayon? Today, Pastor Marc reminds us that salvation is by grace and not by our works. We nullify God's gift when we treat it as though it were simply a loan, one that we can pay back. We’re incapable of paying God back or of improving on His masterpiece. Jesus freely died for our sins. He doesn't require us to pay Him back. Let's not disrespect Jesus by trying to pay Him back for restoring us to a right relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Did you know that God is a jealous God? He wants you. Do you have a "high place" that you need to tear down? Pastor Marc confesses today that God tells him of things in his own life that have replaced God. God is jealous when things take His place in our hearts. He doesn't like it when His place in our hearts is not honored above all else. Our time and attention indicate whom or what we value. God wants us to value Him the most. Let's repent for valuing things more than valuing God in our minds and hearts.
