Do you feel like there is a void in your life? You try and try to have deep, meaningful connections with people. You keep putting yourself out there in hopes you'll find that one person who fills your soul, or you'll find that close friend everyone else seems to have found? Pastor Bill is going to tell us today about someone special who is already looking for you. His heart is turned toward you and he's been searching for you since the day you were born! If you're ready to meet him, keep listening!

God didn't create man because he needs us. God doesn't have a giant ego looking to be filled with the praise of humans, and he doesn't need us for company — God is three persons and has full community within himself. So why are we here? What compelled the God of the universe to create humans and why does he want to have community with us? What is this grand invitation that Pastor Bill is talking about today? Let's listen in and find out because it's an invitation you really don't want to miss!

In elementary school, children are taught where to go to in their school if there's ever a tornado. They go to the spot for safety and then kneel on the floor and cover their heads. In today's message, Pastor Bill teaches that there is a place for safety for Christians too. It's a place to run to in times of trouble or persecution. It's the church... not the building but rather the collective group of believers. God has a place for you in His family. Reach out for support and encouragement.

Do you ever have days when you feel like you're not good enough...Maybe it's more than a day...maybe you have weeks or months where you feel like a storm cloud is traveling over you saturating you with doubt and despair. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that you can silence those thoughts. When you believe in Jesus Christ you have the power to silence the accuser, the devil, because YOU are made WORTHY by Christ. His death on the cross and your belief, make you worthy of love in this world and in Heaven.

We live in a fast-paced world... If you want food, you can pick it up at a drive-thru or heat something up instantly in the microwave. Your need for food can be met pretty quickly. In today's message, Pastor Bill explains that God doesn't work like things in the fast-paced world. His time is different from the world's time. Just like in the book of Daniel, it may take DAYS to see the answer to your prayers. The book of Revelation is also on God's time...and you can count on His perfect timing.

Christmas cards are beautiful with scenes of snow-covered fields and acres of evergreen trees. However, today Pastor Bill explains that the real Christmas story took place on a cross in Golgotha where Jesus was crucified. His birth story is beautiful but the story of His crucifixion is a battle cry of victory over death. When you trust in Jesus as your Savior, His victory is your victory too! While a spiritual war rages all around you... the battle has already been won. You can rest in the peace of knowing Jesus fights for you.

When you think of Christmas...do you think of twinkling lights and stockings hung by the fire? Maybe you think of wise men traveling on camels to find baby Jesus...All these things are good thoughts...but today... Pastor Bill presents another side of Christmas. He explains that a great and wondrous sign appeared to John in Revelation in the form of a pregnant woman. She represents the nation of Israel. Israel was destroyed but later restored by God. He can restore your life too if you trust in Him.

In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you that there are many gifts of the Holy Spirit and servitude is often an overlooked gift. The gift of servitude is one of an inward attitude of the heart. To serve someone, you must be humble, and humble servants are those that make the church world go round. These humble servants are the ones that serve selflessly in church and help ministries to grow and work for the kingdom of God. We can all learn to become humble servants for the Lord and the Church.

In today's message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to celebrate the second coming of the Lord! Jesus came to the world once as a baby in a manger, this is one of the cornerstones of the Christian faith. Another cornerstone of the Christian faith is that Jesus will come to the Earth again! As Christians, it's our responsibility to vigilantly watch for the signs of the second coming of Christ. The Bible lays out clear signs of His coming... And when He does, we will rejoice with Him and the Church!

In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you to be thankful no matter what your circumstances may be. In our modern context, we're often so richly blessed that we take things for granted. We might take for granted our vehicles, homes, and easy access to food... But what about when we're struggling? Do we remember to be thankful then? It's important that when the trials of life come our way that we don't lose sight of what God has already given to us. We can still be thankful in the midst of hardship.
