When Jesus called him, Matthew took a good, hard look at his life and came to the realization that he truly needed saving. So, he followed Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor Phil encourages you to take a moment and reflect on your life. Once you take that step, you'll discover just how much you truly need Jesus!

Jesus’ mercy flows from His limitless love; He sees our failures yet moves toward us with compassion, not condemnation. And in today’s message, Pastor Phil will remind you to rest in that kindness—receive forgiveness, release shame, and reflect God’s heart by extending the same mercy to others.

Many in our culture have embraced a mindset that says you can have “your truth” while I have “my truth.” But that’s not how truth works. As Pastor Phil will remind us in today’s message, we have access to the ultimate source of truth – God’s Word – and it’s steadfast and unchanging, no matter what culture says.

If someone puts down your favorite team or questions the talent of one of your favorite artists, how do you react? What about if they made fun of your Savior? As Pastor Phil will point out in today’s message, people are often quick to defend these trivial things but cower when it comes to standing up for Christ.

Our God is a great provider. He’s sovereign over all things. He gave us free will to choose His way or reject it, but when we trust in Him and follow His lead, we can expect great spiritual blessings. As Pastor Phil will remind us in today’s message, in our moments of uncertainty, God has a plan and we can trust Him.

Count your blessings… you’ve likely heard this phrase at some point. It may feel cheesy or irrelevant, but as Pastor Phil will remind us in today’s message, when we face struggles in this world, it’s important that we don’t lose sight of the good things God has done for us. It helps us cling to hope for the future.

Have you been told that before? “Because I said so…” Or perhaps you’ve used it as a parent yourself? As Pastor Phil will explain in today’s message, parenting in a way that reflects God’s love and design will not rely simply on authority and power to enforce discipline – it’ll be built on love and trust.

Has God ever spoken to you? Most Christians haven’t heard an audible voice, but God does speak to us. As Pastor Phil will point out in today’s message, God’s voice usually comes in a still, quiet way, but His leading will always align with His Word, and it won’t require deciphering or decoding. 

God sent His Son to earth to die as a sacrifice for your sins, so you can come directly to Him for salvation. You don't need rituals. You don't need a priest. Today, Pastor Phil will explain that all you need is to believe in Jesus, confess your sins, and give your life to Him. If you haven't yet, there's no better time than now!
