What idols do you have? What are the things that give you your identity, purpose, and satisfaction apart from God? Is it a job, relationship, or goal? Today, Pastor Phil teaches that the only remedy for idolatry is knowing the glory and goodness of God. Once you see God for who He truly is, you will desire Him above everything else.  

Imagine carving a statue and worshipping it as a god. How can something that you made with your hands be a powerful god? Yet that’s what we do. We may not worship statues, but we worship idols we’ve created: careers, money, and possessions. Today, Pastor Phil teaches you to worship the Creator, not His creations.  

In today’s message, Pastor Phil teaches you the deceptive truth about sin. Sin entices you with promises of pleasure and fulfillment, but it leaves you scarred and empty. This is the destructive cycle of sin that Jesus came to free you from. Only Jesus can give you true satisfaction, joy, and fulfillment.  

How often do you take time to rest to be with the Lord? Our culture focuses on filling up every waking moment with tasks and distractions. Today, Pastor Phil emphasizes the importance of regularly taking time to get away from the busyness of life to spend time with Jesus. Take some time to be with Him today!

Are you downcast? Does the state of the world have your spirit in pain? People have proposed all sorts of remedies over the years, none of which seem to heal for any length of time. Today, Pastor Phil teaches that there’s only one true remedy. There’s only one person who can heal your soul, and His name is Jesus.

Have you ever made an assumption about Scripture, or tried to use it to justify one of your actions? Today, Pastor Phil teaches that if you have, you’re not alone. That’s exactly what Israel was convicted of in today’s passage. Instead, read the Word, and let God reveal to you exactly what Scripture truly means.

Have you ever felt like evil people are escaping punishment for their sins? Today, Pastor Phil reminds us of how God destroyed the Jewish temple in 586 BC. Even though they thought they were getting away with their sins, the people faced judgment because of their disobedience and failure to follow the Lord.

Have you ever experienced God’s complete forgiveness, yet the consequences of your choices continue to affect your life? God's word offers forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. In his message today, Pastor Phil reminds us that God’s forgiveness does not erase the consequences of our wrong choices in life.

Our modern society has turned away from the truth and neglected to follow God. As a result, there is widespread moral decay and a loss of logic and common sense. The decline in morality is destroying our nation. In today's message, Pastor Phil reminds us of Jeremiah's counsel to return to obeying God.

Everyone wonders about the future and what’s going to happen next in the world and in our lives. Many days, it seems like the whole world is spinning out of control. In his message today, Pastor Phil uses the story in Jeremiah 6 to assure us that God knows and controls the future and is always on His throne.
