Who deserves credit for all of the blessings and good in your life today? Only God. Today Pastor Mark will encourage listeners to recognize that it is God’s faithfulness that provides and strengthens, even in the hardest of times. Often in this world, we like to take credit for the good, and blame God for the bad. That logic is reversed. Our Lord cannot do wrong. His promises are true and He will not fail you. Have you had a heart of gratefulness towards the Lord? Without His steady provision in every area of your life, you wouldn’t be where you are today. Thank Him for that!

Is it possible that your lack of faith could be limiting you from a wealth of opportunities in your life? Today Pastor Mark will challenge listeners to take a step of faith and stop missing out on opportunities to make a difference in this life. Sometimes the only difference between reaching potential and failing to capitalize, is faith. And the greatest way to develop faith in your life today, is by reading the Word of God. How would you grade your level of faith today? Are you missing opportunities due to fear? Allow God’s Word to grow and challenge you as only It can!

What is the one thing that can mend relationships more than any other? A heart of love and compassion, only found in Jesus. Today Pastor Mark will show listeners how it was the heart of Jesus that changed lives, more so than any miracle He performed. Yes crowds followed Him for His great works, and yes we remember His supernatural abilities, but the one characteristic that stood out above all else, even today, is His unfailing love. How have you shown the love in Christ in your everyday life? Nothing you do will matter if it isn’t done with a heart of love and compassion.

Never think that you are unable to follow a calling from the Lord because you are unequipped. Nothing is impossible with God and He has promised to provide all that we need to do life right. Has fear been limiting your effectiveness today? Trust in the One who made you to strengthen you!
