Have you ever made a bad decision and wondered if it ruined God’s plan for you? Or maybe it was something completely out of your control. Our bad choices will always have consequences, but that doesn’t mean that God can’t still work it for your good. And God’s ways are often not ours. If you can relate, then this message is for you. In today/s message, Pastor Josh will show you how important it is to place your faith in God and HIS ways every day. All it takes is exercising faith to get back on track with God.

Wow… those are some powerful words from Pastor Josh. Do you believe in the existence of God, or do you believe in the character of God? Many people believe that there is a God, but that doesn’t mean you believe in what God can do. He is more than just a mythical being up in the sky. He can change your life. Maybe you’re struggling with a health issue, a marriage problem, or with a financial burden. Today, Pastor Josh is going to remind you that if you put your faith in Jesus, He will put His faith in you.

Some people place their faith in money. But for those people, their hope is in worldly financial security. Some people place their faith in power. They’re valuing the wrong things! The things in this world are broken and any satisfaction they provide is temporal and incomplete. Only faith in Christ and the sure and certain hope of Heaven will satisfy and carry you to eternity. Today, Pastor Josh will challenge you to trust, believe in, and put your faith in Christ because you hope for abundant life now and eternity in Heaven.

Sadly, many in the Christian church today feel like if they declare they have faith, then God will give them all they want. But, faith in God is no magic trick to gaining things in life. Instead, as Pastor Josh will teach you today, faith is the action that responds to God and His promises. Do you believe in God enough to then follow Him, obey Him, serve Him, love Him? Does your faith cause you to give Him your life? Faith allows you to receive what God wants for you even when you can’t see it yet.

Do you fear God? It’s a bit of a sudden question, I know. But, it’s a very important one to ask yourself. In today’s message, Pastor Josh poses the same question and follows up with exactly why we should or shouldn’t. We’re told that we can boldly approach the throne when we’re saved by Jesus. We don’t need to fear God’s judgment as long as we trust in Christ. But if we reject God at every turn, and then have to stand before Him on the day of reckoning? Take a wild guess where your own merit gets you.

In today’s message, Pastor Josh continues with his series on an issue many believers still struggle with; how can a loving God send people to Hell? After all, what about people who’ve never even heard of the Gospel? Pastor Josh challenges that question with another one; being “How do we get the Gospel to those people?” It’s easy to try and dump the responsibility on God. But aren’t we instructed to go out and make disciples? How then, can we blame God for not reaching them; if we won’t even seek them out?

In today’s message, Pastor Josh continues his discussion about a problem many Christians struggle with; God’s Justice. We tend to not want to think about God punishing us, or leaving us to our sins. But that’s exactly what we deserve! God cannot exist in the same place as sin. Which means that he can’t exist in the same place as us! “For all have fallen…” right? It’s only through the completely undeserved grace that God gives us, that we can be saved from the eternal torment that we bring upon ourselves!

In today’s message, Pastor Josh brings up a pretty important topic in today’s “Christianity.” So many different people; who call themselves Christians, are either ignoring or even completely denying the existence of Hell. They believe that a loving god couldn’t possibly allow people to suffer. Pastor Josh explains that it’s the exact opposite. God demonstrates his love for us by ensuring that we know of our sins. After all, if we could escape from Hell ourselves, then Jesus would have suffered for nothing!

No amount of good deeds and works can earn you the right standing before God. In today’s message from Pastor Josh, he explains that only by having a surrendered life to Jesus Christ, will give you right standing before the Lord. Often, people will try to appear right before the Lord through religious actions and words. However, in the Bible, Jesus makes it clear that all who want to receive salvation must come through Him alone. Nothing but the precious blood of Jesus will save you.

Does your life exude your closeness to the Lord? As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Josh, he encourages you to let your life be in congruence with your confession of Jesus. If you have received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior then your life should reflect that. Pastor Josh encourages you, to not go back to your old nature before receiving Christ. Let your life, friendships, and example be one that exudes Jesus within you. Let your life shine as a genuine repentant disciple of Jesus.
