Wherever you are in your walk with Christ, whether you’ve been a Christian for 2 months or 10 years, God wants you to know that He is a generous God to those who walk uprightly! That is a fact straight from the Bible! Meaning, God will bless the faithful, the righteous, and those dependent on Him! In today’s message, Pastor Dan will remind you that first and foremost, God is a charitable giving God. He truly loves you and wants to bless you! So, live into those blessings and be faithful, righteous, and God dependent!!!

Christianity is a public religion; being a Christian is a public relationship with God. We see all over the Bible that people would make changes to their physical appearance and make life-altering choices just to honor God and reflect what He was doing in their lives. In today’s message, Pastor Dan will challenge you to honor God with physical changes to your life. If someone were to look at your life…look at your habits and hobbies…would they see clearly, without a doubt that you’re a follower of Christ? 

We live in a world where just about everything is accessible to us, and we’re encouraged to do what feels good. The Bible teaches that that is not godly. Not everything, good or bad, is going to be helpful for our development as Christians. In today’s message, Pastor Dan will encourage you to pray before you make any choices. Just because it feels right, or some other Christian is doing it, doesn’t mean it is okay for you. You should ask God for direction in all your decisions and endeavors!

Jesus tells us and even models for us that forgiveness is the ultimate way to show love! In today’s message, Pastor Dan will share a direct story from the Bible where Jesus completely forgives a woman, and it shocks the disciples. You’ll learn in this story that love is an action, it’s patience, it’s forgiveness, and it’s humble servanthood. As you go throughout your day, ask yourself how you can show the love of Christ to those you come into contact with; Not just with words, but with your actions!!!

When we encounter Christ and our lives are changed, we generally have some conviction of the things we’ve done or even are doing. There isn’t any condemnation; you don’t have to carry the weight of your sin anymore, but you probably have some wrongs to right. In today’s message, Pastor Dan reaches that no matter what you’ve done or when you did it, there is forgiveness for you! There is still time for you to make things right with that person and share Jesus’ love and forgiveness with them!

In a world where there are so many people looking for their purpose, looking for the answer to life, we can take heart because Jesus is the answer! Followers of Christ have a purpose in their lives given directly from the Lord. In today’s message, Pastor Dan will encourage you to live into that calling from the Lord. So, if you’re a follower of Christ, how are you living out your purpose? And, if you’ve yet to surrender your life over to God’s will, let this be encouragement to find your purpose!!!

When you think of the word “Church”, what do you picture? Do you see a building, or do you picture God’s people? In today’s message, Pastor Dan will inform you that the Church is just the gathering of God’s people…no matter where! The Bible tells us that where two or more are gathered IN HIS NAME, He will be there. So, if the body of Christ meets at a grocery store, a park, or the church building in your community, that place can become Holy ground! Because God’s presence resides with His people!

When we read the Bible, we can often get confused or overwhelmed by all the parables or just the sheer amount of information and guidance we find. In today’s message, Pastor Dan will highlight that even the very people who tell the stories, write them down, and are the subjects of the stories, reflect the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! When you read God’s Word, remember that every aspect, every word, and every person reflects or reveals something about God to you.

You’ve probably heard in the church world that we’re not meant to do life alone. That is true, but also, a lot easier said than done… finding people who have similar life experiences and years of following God under their belt is no easy task. In today’s message, Pastor Dan will remind you of the importance of surrounding yourself with godly people who will both challenge and support you. With the ups and downs of life, it can mean a whole world of difference to have a man or woman of God in your corner!

Today, Pastor Dan encourages us to enjoy the gifts the Lord has given us. We’re reminded that our gifts are specifically chosen for us, and that no two people have the exact same ones. We should also be thankful for the gifts we’re given, and not jealous of someone else’s gifts that we lack.  Are you an encourager? A teacher? Do you have a way with kids? Have you been told you’re artistic? Or organized? God has given you gifts to be used specifically for His Kingdom. Are you holding up your end of the bargain?
