The Glacier Valley Church of God Podcast

To say that we are a believer implies that not only do we believe in Jesus, but in what He can do. Sadly, the church has lost sight of that. No more! Let us rise up and be what God has called us to be!

In his message to the church on Pastor Appreciation Day, Will Martin outlines 7 things the church can do to help the Pastor.

We saw during COVID how important it is for us to be around each other. But, it is more than just coming to church. It is getting to know each other. When we get closer to each other, we get closer to God.

God used His voice to create life and the world around us. That must mean something. The Bible calls His Word a sword, the only offensive weapon in our arsenal. That must mean something.

We must do more than read the Word of God. We must use the Word of God.

Jesus said go, but the church stays. The first century church struggled with this too. But, we need to go, baptize and teach. To all the world!

Can we expect to live in this life without trouble? The answer is no. But, we also know that God protects and cares for us in these situations. As we look Daniel, we know that His grace is there for us through the night!

In the story of the Good Samaritan, the hero was not the religious person, but the one who was despised by others. God places an emphasis on helping others. But, its hard. It requires being in the mud and getting blood on you, and it will cost you treasure. Perhaps that's why its easier to contribute to organizations who do that. 

What if the church did this? What if we stopped saying we didn't do it, so its not our problem?

No matter what you have done, God restores. Without penalty. All we have to do is ask. You are never too far from His Love or reach.

The story of Esther is powerful, as it demonstrates the grace given to us in a time of need. Do you need something from the Lord? Lay hold of the scepter!

The gift of the Holy Spirit is the pinnacle of what God gives us because He is giving us a part of Himself. God within us! And more than that, His power flowing through us.

Let us hear the word that Jesus said - Receive the Holy Ghost!
