The Bible teaches us that when we put our faith in God's Son, we're made at peace with God and are no longer His enemy. Scripture then goes on to teach us how we can live our lives in such a way that we can experience the peace of God. In today's message, Pastor Bill will teach you some of the key components to living out your life so as to experience the peace that God so desires for His own. In his study, you'll learn how rejoicing in The Lord is one of the biggest contributing factors to experiencing God's peace.

As believers and followers of Christ, it can be easy for us to lose perspective of our fallen nature which typically leads to us being harder on both ourselves and others. One of the other problems this often creates is a lack of grace and a sense of condemnation. In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you that while we're indeed fallen in nature, we're made perfect in Christ. In his study, you'll learn how maintaining this perspective plays a powerful role in fending off condemnation and being gracious towards others.

Whenever we're experiencing a crisis of sorts, the last thing we'd probably want to hear someone say to us is “don't worry.” Whether it's financial strain or a health emergency, one of the last things on our mind is how we shouldn't be worrying at that given moment. However, as Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, this is exactly what the Apostle Paul would say to us today. In his study, you'll be reminded that if anyone had something to worry about it was Paul, who with the peace of God said “don't worry.”

Each and every one of us has a natural tendency to let our ego or pride get in the way of countless opportunities, both for others and ourselves. Perhaps one of the more common affects of this is when we shut out other people when we need help most. In today's message, Pastor Bill will teach you the harm that pride, gossip, and selfishness can inflict on the Body of Christ. In his study, you'll learn the importance of regularly forgiving and humbling ourselves by accepting the grace of others.

Many of us have a tendency to immediately put up our guard whenever we hear the word commandment or works. Whether it's a hyper sensitivity to the false doctrine of salvation by works or otherwise, we sometimes go overboard with our reactions. As Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, we're indeed saved by faith alone, but as recipients of that faith, we're called to works of righteousness. In his study, you'll learn how faithfully living out such commands as “love one another” and “rejoice” lead to ultimate joy and peace.

Perhaps one of the more dangerous aspects of social media is how easy it is for us to stir up strife and not even realize it. Whether we're offended by what someone said, did, or otherwise we're often quick to harbor and spread strife, rather than take it before The Lord. As Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, we as believers are called to strive for unity, not division. In his study, you'll learn the importance of being an aroma of grace, forgiveness, and love towards others, even when offended.

If you've been a disciple of Christ for any period of time, you've probably heard you fair share of “remain steadfast in The Lord.” While it's important that we're regularly reminded to focus on this, it's equally important that we actually apply it. In today's message, Pastor Bill reflects on what it means to be steadfast, immovable, and abounding in The Lord's work as believers. In his study, you'll learn how following this simple principle is what leads to a healthy, united, and joy filled body of believers.

What are some of the things in life that you find bring you joy? While many of us are likely to think of family, children, our marriage or otherwise, we're probably just as quick to agree that those joys can be circumstantial. In today's message, Pastor Bill reflects on the joy of Christ and experiencing that joy through the fellowship, be it our church or small gatherings. In his study, you'll learn the importance of regularly gathering and meditating on God's Word to better understand and experience the joy He so desires for us.

While many of us would agree on the importance of regularly attending church and gathering, it doesn't mean we're immune to feelings of despair. Whether we've given in to the same sin repeatedly or we've backslidden altogether, each one of us can just as easily feel we're too far gone. However, as Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, this is nothing more than a lie from our enemy. In his study, you'll be reminded of the power of Christ which is able to subdue all things to Himself.

As society continues in its trend of consumerism and self gratification, it can be easy to get caught up in hollow ideologies. As believers and followers of Christ, our regular focus should be on the sacrifice of our Lord and His call to follow Him. In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you of the importance of regularly dying to self, no matter how controversial to society it might seem. In his study, you'll learn that it's because we've been given life at such a great cost that our natural response should be one of obedience.
