How can we, as Christ followers, be able to know and discern what God is trying to say to us? Today Pastor Mark will teach listeners how God communicates to them. The primary way is through the Holy Spirit, living inside of every believer. The Spirit of God will tug on the heart of people, causing them to either speak up or be silent, as necessary. He will also place a feeling of peace or unrest in hearts. What a valuable resource to have in the life of every Christ follower! Have you experienced God’s will in your life by listening to His Spirit? He will only make your life better!

What steps do you take before making a big decision in your life? Today Pastor Mark will show listeners how even when Jesus was a man on this earth, He still sought out God the father, through prayer, on a daily basis. If anyone had the capability or reasoning to try and do life alone, it was Jesus, but even He knew that alone time with God was necessary to live a successful life. There is plenty in this life, even on a daily basis, to be in prayer about. Have you tried to live prosperously absent of God? Jesus set the ultimate example, and if He prioritized prayer, then so should we!

How would you grade your commitment level to Christ? Today Pastor Mark will challenge listeners to consider the depth of their relationship, and devotion, to Jesus. For many, it can be easy to pray the Salvation prayer, and then continue in life as if nothing has changed. What a poor witness and representation of the life altering move that was just made! Scripture states that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Are the characteristics of your life vastly different, or strikingly similar, to when you didn’t know the Lord? Understand that He desires and expects every area of your life!

Have you responded to the call of Jesus Christ on your life? Maybe you’re not sure what that call is. Today Pastor Mark will teach listeners that while the location and vocation of each believer may be different, the call to follow Christ wholeheartedly remains the same. Many have chosen to pursue wealth and success on this earth, and they will find out what they were chasing is far from eternal. Don’t fall into the trap of believing that your career and financial pursuits are what’s most important in this life. Jesus wants to be your first priority, as He has already made you His.

How could you possibly expect to be successful in any part of life, by leaving God out of it? Today Pastor Mark will encourage listeners to consider the Lord before everything you do. Whether it be a financial decision, career path, family vision, or even something as routine as your daily agenda, if God is not dictating the shape of your life, it can be very dangerous. The reality of life is that we will experience troubles. Who better to have guiding our steps through them than Almighty God? Prayerfully consider how you might involve Jesus more into every area of your life.
