In this moving message from our Living a Life That Matters series, Pastor Bill teaches that we will be remembered not only by the life we live, the love we give, and the load we lift—but also by the legacy we leave. Drawing from 2 Timothy 4 and Acts 20, he reminds us that every day, we are writing the story others will one day tell about us. Our legacy is not just what we leave to people, but what we leave in them.

Through the life of the Apostle Paul, Pastor Bill outlines three defining marks of a meaningful legacy: being committed to a greater Person (Jesus Christ), a greater Purpose (God’s calling for your life), and a greater Principle (living generously). With honesty, humor, and deep biblical insight, he shows that a legacy isn’t about perfection—it’s about faithfulness, consistency, and love that continues to echo long after we’re gone.

This message will challenge you to live each day intentionally—fighting the good fight, keeping the faith, finishing your course, and leaving behind a legacy that points others to Jesus.

In this powerful message from our Living a Life That Matters series, Pastor Bill teaches that we will be remembered not only by the life we live and the love we give, but also by the load we lift. Drawing from Galatians 6:2, he reminds us that everyone carries burdens—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and as followers of Christ, we are called to help carry those burdens for one another.

Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical insight, Pastor Bill shares how the early church modeled true community by sharing in one another’s struggles with compassion, trust, and love. He explains that some burdens are meant to be shared, some are meant to be shouldered, and others must be shed—given completely to God.

This message reminds us that when we bear one another’s burdens, we fulfill the law of Christ and reflect His heart to a hurting world. Whether you’re struggling under the weight of sin, sorrow, or stress, God promises to lift both you and your burden. He is the ultimate burden-bearer—and He can be trusted.

In this message from our Living a Life That Matters series, Pastor Bill teaches that the legacy we leave behind isn’t just about the life we live—it’s about the love we give. Drawing from John 13:34–35, he reminds us that the true mark of a follower of Jesus is not success, status, or influence, but selfless, sacrificial love.

Through honest reflection, biblical truth, and real-life stories, Pastor Bill unpacks how love is the foundation of a meaningful life. He explains how healing requires moments of solitude—but warns against isolation that leads to loneliness and bitterness. Instead, we’re called to love like Jesus: forgiving those who’ve hurt us, showing compassion even when it’s undeserved, and building relationships that reflect God’s heart.

If you want to live a life that truly matters, it starts with learning to love others the way Christ loves you. This message will challenge and inspire you to live with grace, generosity, and purpose every day.

In this brand-new series, A Life That Matters, Pastor Bill challenges us to live intentionally and leave a legacy that reflects God’s purpose for our lives. Drawing from 1 Peter 4 and Psalm 139, he reminds us that every day we are “preaching our own funeral” through the choices we make and the impact we leave behind.

This message explores four key principles for living a life that truly matters:
1️⃣ Your Designer — God created you on purpose and for a purpose.
2️⃣ Your Desire — Like Joseph, dare to dream big and never stop believing God has more for you.
3️⃣ Your Design — Discover how God uniquely shaped you for His glory and how aligning your gifts and passions leads to fulfillment.
4️⃣ Your Destiny — Trust that even in seasons of waiting or opposition, God is working out His plan in your life.

With humor, heart, and deep biblical truth, Pastor Bill encourages us to reconnect with our Creator, rekindle our dreams, and live each day in a way that makes an eternal difference. Life is short—the dash between two dates—but what we do with it can echo forever.

In this powerful conclusion to the Sevenfold series, we focus on the seventh essential from Ephesians 4: One God and Father of All. This message reminds us that God is not distant or detached—He is a loving Father who knows us by name, cares deeply for us, and invites us to know Him personally.

Through Scripture, stories, and practical insight, we explore the character of God—His holiness, love, faithfulness, justice, compassion, goodness, patience, power, knowledge, and presence. When we understand who God is, it transforms how we live, how we pray, and how we face uncertain times.

In this powerful message from our Sevenfold series, Pastor Bill teaches on the sixth essential: One Baptism from Ephesians 4. This sermon unpacks what baptism truly means, why it matters, and how it symbolizes our faith in Jesus.

Pastor Bill reminds us that baptism is a public declaration of an inward transformation — a picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. He explains the meaning of baptism (identifying with Jesus), the method (immersion as a picture of burial and resurrection), and the motive (obedience to God and a testimony to the world).

Along the way, Pastor Bill addresses the reality of living in a broken and dangerous world, the strategy of the enemy to divide and discourage believers, and the hope we have when we stay rooted in Christ. Through Scripture, personal stories, and even a bit of humor, he challenges us not just to know about Jesus but to know Him personally — and then follow His example in baptism.
