Anything involving the devil is not something we, as Christ’s followers should mess around with. It is VERY serious! The devil does have a lot of evil tricks he uses to distract us and try to get us farther from God…but, God is more powerful! No doubt about it!!! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will share how most people deal with the devil by either ignoring him or joking around…we should be determined to seek out God’s wisdom and power!

Becoming prideful is quite possibly one of the most easy things to do in our culture today. There are SO many opportunities to brag about ourselves and more often than not…we take those opportunities. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will show you how there is truly only one area of your life where you should be prideful…and that’s your faith! Pastor Eddie will show you all the opportunities YOU have to brag about your GOOD God!

As Christians, we’re called to follow the laws that God has put into place for our well-being. One of those laws is to follow the rules of our governments and those in law enforcement…and more often than not, we tend to try and find a way out of following those laws of man. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will remind you that God specifically tells us to respect and be peaceful with the worldly authority put into place to keep us safe.

Just like a shepherd protects their sheep, God protects us! The analogy we see in the Bible of us Christians as sheep and God as our shepherd is SO incredibly accurate! Since the Bible was written to now! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will show you all the ways that just a shepherd, Jesus takes care of us! All the ways He looks out for us and keeps us out of danger! Because of that mighty protection, we can live each and every day fearless!

What better description do we have for our relationship with our Heavenly Father other than Him being our Shepherd?! The Bible is SO clear and throughout when it describes Him as being that protective hand guiding us, His sheep, into joyful lives! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will encourage you to picture God as your altruistic shepherd! He WILL leave the ninety-ninety sheep just to go and find YOU! To bring YOU back into His loving arms!

Suffering is inevitable in this life…but the reasons for which we suffer do matter and we can roughly control the reasons we suffer. We can decide whether to purposefully sin or we can decide to purposefully chase after God and share all about His Good News! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will challenge you to share about the Lord’s good name no matter the consequences! Choose to praise God amid your suffering!

Does it ever feel like there are way too many commandments in Scripture for you to possibly keep track of? It’s like spinning 600 plates and making sure not one of them falls off of its perch. But Pastor Eddie reminds you today that you aren’t meant to be able to keep all of those rules on your own. In fact, the only person able to meet God’s standard of perfection is Jesus, who made a way for you to come to the Father despite your imperfections.

Have you watched a powerlifter working out at the gym? They seem to endlessly stack on weights to their exercises until they’re lifting hundreds of pounds, sometimes almost effortlessly. Well, Pastor Eddie wants you to know today that you can have that kind of strength in your faith, but it won’t come easy. There will be a lot of suffering and pain along the way, but God’s promise is that there is a payoff coming, there is a reward.

In today’s message, Pastor Eddie reminds you that suffering on account of your faith in Jesus isn’t just normal, it’s something to be expected. You may not suffer the same persecution that the early Church did, but you will be subject to suffering on Earth either way. But be of good cheer, because God is on your side, and He will not let you suffer forever! By enduring through the suffering, your endurance, and your faith will become stronger.

Every one of us has been given spiritual gifts from God. The purpose of these gifts are to equip us to serve the body of Christ, as well as the nonbelievers around us. But Pastor Eddie teaches today that it is easy to ignore the gifts you have been given, to disobey the word of God, and to keep the gift to yourself. But if you want to follow God’s commandments and receive His favor, use the gifts He has given to bless your communities.
