The world is on a countdown timer that ends in Jesus’ return, but no one besides the Lord Himself knows when that time will run out. In the meantime, it is our job as the Body of Christ to continue to do the good work of the Gospel, to get as many people into the Kingdom as possible. Just like little diligent worker ants, our impact may seem small at the local level. But when the efforts are combined across thousands of local congregations worldwide, the work of the harvest truly begins!

Even the tallest skyscrapers in the world started from simple materials. Steel, concrete, and glass are crafted together to create massive structures, but they didn’t just show up one day. Skilled workers had to take those materials to form them into something bigger. Pastor Bill reminds you today that just like an expert builder, God can take the tiny things that you offer from your feeble life and turn them into something glorious. Never doubt what the Lord can do with your loaves and your fishes.

Ever since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, mankind has had a problem with jealousy and lust. Immoral desires can be one of the deepest roots of sin in the hearts of even the most faithful followers of Jesus. Pastor Bill doesn’t want you to think you’re immune to this problem, either. This common struggle unites the body of Christ and makes you realize that your brothers and sisters in the Lord are your equals. The thing that unites you all is the love of Jesus that supersedes those immoral desires.

There are some people in the world who have devoted their lives to explaining every tiny bit of life through the lens of science. Their goal, whether they truly know it or not, is to try and numb their need for the love of God, because that love is something that can’t be explained by science. Pastor Bill encourages you today to be caught up in the wonder of the agape love of God. Don’t try to explain away this kind of love, but instead allow yourself to be immersed in and consumed by it.

A welder’s work consists of using extremely high heat to fuse metals together. It takes a light touch to create the proper welds that ensure a strong joint, one that will stand the test of time. But there is one bond stronger than any welder could hope to achieve. Pastor Bill teaches you today that the bond between Jesus and His Church is a bond that nothing can ever break. And as a member of the Body of Christ, you are also irreversibly bonded to Jesus, marked as one of His own forever.

Do you ever feel hopeless? Like, there are some problems in the world that just don’t have a perfect solution? Well, Pastor Bill reminds you today that all of the evil and conflict in the world today can be traced back to the rot of sin in the human race. When people begin to turn their lives over to Jesus and allow His power to transform them from the inside out, things start to change. Maybe the world’s problems are too great for humanity to solve, but Jesus will make everything brand new in the last days.

The best academic writers are those who are able to back up their words with reputable sources. They include footnotes to direct you to where that person pulled their information from. And Pastor Bill teaches you today that the Bereans did the same thing to the Apostle Paul! When Paul and Silas were sharing the Gospel with them, the Bereans went back to the Old Testament to see if their claims lined up with God’s Word. Just like those Bereans, you should verify every teaching you hear against Scripture.

So many questions in this world have uncertain answers. Questions about philosophy, ethics, and sometimes even theology, can provoke hours and hours of debates that don’t always lead to a resolution or agreement between parties. But Pastor Bill teaches you today that there is one source of absolute truth that can be trusted, and that is God’s Word. The Spirit of God moved in the hearts of the writers of the Bible, and those inspired words provide a guiding light for believers today.

Everyone longs to have safety in something or someone. We can go to money or our spouse, but in the end, nothing will keep us as safe as the love of the Father. Today, Pastor Bill says if you find yourself in the blood of Jesus, you’ll always be safe. This doesn’t mean you’ll always be happy or never have questions towards God, but you’re promised you’ll always be safe. Run to Christ today and find safety in His arms. He loves you and wants you to trust Him wholly so He can comfort you in every circumstance.

Humility is a hard thing to grasp. It’s a lot easier for us to be prideful because it comes naturally to us. Today, Pastor Bill says God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. How can you be more selfless in your life? If you ever need an example of how to be selfless and humble, look at Philippians 3. The passage talks about Jesus’s humility towards you. He was humble to the point of death on the cross, so that you can be saved. How awesome is it that God sent His Son as an example for us of humility!
