Perhaps one of the more unfortunate, yet common misconceptions within Christianity is that God is more concerned with our comfort than anything else. However, one look at the missionary journeys of Paul and we can quickly conclude otherwise. In today's message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to move outside of your comfort zone for Christ. In his study, you'll learn that while it doesn't always work out or pay off in the end, there's nothing more exciting than being a gambler for God's Kingdom.

Paul writes in Philippians Chapter 2 that we're to do all things without complaining and dispute so that we might be blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. As many of us would probably prefer not to admit, this isn't necessarily an easy thing to practice. However, as Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, this comes naturally when we “work out our salvation.” In his study, you'll learn that by regularly exercising our faith, we'll naturally become set apart from the world.

By now you've probably heard several times about the importance of peace, unity, and joy amongst the body of believers. On the other hand, there might be several things from your past that leave you wondering how it's even possible to achieve such a goal. In today's message, Pastor Bill will teach you about the importance of “working out our salvation.” In his study, you'll learn that when we come together as believers and exercise our faith, peace, love, unity and joy will come naturally.

As believers who make up the Body of Christ, it's extremely important that we strive to function as such. Not only is this for the sake of witnessing to the world, but also for our own sake as we support, care, and love one another as we wait for that glorious day. In today's message, Pastor Bill will teach you the importance of learning, living, and loving what he refers to as “Church life.” In his study, you'll learn about God's design for the Church and how He desires for us to live as one in peace, joy, and love.

As believers and followers of Christ, we're called to live a life that esteems others above ourselves and to put their needs before our own. As you've probably already guessed, there's no better example of this than that of Jesus, The Son of God. In today's message, Pastor Bill will teach you about the humility that Christ displayed when He took on the form of man. In his study, you'll learn that not only was this for our salvation, but to teach us an important lesson about humbling ourselves before others.

You've probably heard many people respond to the Gospel with something along the lines of “Jesus was a good person” or “He was a good teacher.” While these things are definitely true, it's important that we remember that Jesus didn't come to make bad people good, but to give life to the dead. In today's message, Pastor Bill reflects on the substitutionary nature of God becoming flesh. In his study, you'll gain a better understanding of why it is that God had to become flesh to be the sacrifice for our sins.

There's not very many of us that can foretell or foresee when a radical change is going to occur in our lives. Whether it's a traumatic event, a change in interests, or a complete shift of choice in career, there are several factors that contribute to change in our lives. However, as Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, one change we can expect, is when we put our faith in Christ. In his study, you'll learn how a life of faith should be marked by constant change and growth as we become more like Christ.

As the body of believers, we're called to strive for unity, peace, and joy so that the world around us might better recognize Christ. Unfortunately, many congregations will focus on other methods of drawing in the lost, rather than these key components of our faith. In today's message, Pastor Bill will teach you that one of the best ways we can draw the lost to Christ, is by simply living out the Gospel. In his study, you'll learn just how powerful of a message we send when we live in unity, peace, and joy.

All throughout the letters found in the New Testament we read about the importance of unity and being of one accord. As many of us have probably experienced a handful of times in our own lives, without unity or like mindedness, things can quickly fall apart. In today's message, Pastor Bill will teach you just how crucial it is that we strive to be of one accord in Christ. In his study, you'll learn that just as with an orchestra or symphony, each of our unique roles compliment each other when done so in unity and without selfish intent.

Many congregations easily lose sight of the key components that contribute to the very things they so eagerly desire to succeed in. Whether it's getting caught up in teaching seminars or extra curricular, it's surprisingly easy to over complicate the simplest components of the faith. As Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, these are none other than the Gospel, and unity. In his study, you'll learn that the key to a joy filled congregation is rooted in a solid understanding of the Gospel, and striving for unity.
