Pastor Bill walks us through what it looks like to wait for the bridegroom like in Matthew 25. We can't rely on the "oil of the past".

Luke 11:9-13

John 7

Ask God to create a hunger and thirst in you!

Pastor Bill talks about how we can be the church today by looking at the example of the apostles in Acts (Acts 2:42-47). Does any aspect of our worldview need to be reassessed through scripture? Does the apostles teaching affect life at work, home or our overview of culture?

Mark 11:24

Matthew 6:9-13

Luke 18:1

Matthew 16:19, 18:19

Pastor Bill encourages us that in the waiting, we have lots to learn and may not learn it if the waiting is over too soon. In this time, pursue Truth and Transformation through the Holy Spirit and ask God to search you and tell you what He wants to do in you.

Pastor Bill walks us through what it means to be the church even when we can't meet in a building. It means we should focus on our relationship with God and building intentional relationships with others.

The meaning of the Resurrection is that God has a purpose for your life! 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Corinthians 5, Luke 24:1-6.

Romans 5

Endurance is the ability to keep moving.

James 1:2-3

Steadfastness is character that has been proven and is being developed and deepened. Where, in your mountain, is God giving you the opportunity for growth?

Is there anything that is stunting your growth in this season?

Are you worried you don't have enough faith? Ask God for more. Are you trapped by comparison? Ask God for more. Not sure if you should risk disappointment even if this is your moment? Ask God for more.

Mark 9:28-29

Eph 3:27-30

Matt 28:18-20

Matt 18:19-20

2 Cor 6:16-17

Eph 4:27, 5:18

Heb 12:2

Resist the devil, be filled and focused, and keep your eye on the prize.

Pastor Bill talks out of Job. Satan believes that if he inflicts enough suffering, we will turn our back on God. Even Job had an anchor point in his faith in God (Job 16:19-21, Job 19:25-27).

We are adopted into God's family and are his ambassadors. We need to walk in humility to walk in authority. Jeff walks us through some practical ways to do this.
