One of the benefits of reading history is that you can look back on the mistakes that other people have made and avoid committing those yourself in the future. And as a Christian in the twenty-first century, you have access to the entirety of God’s Word in the palm of your hand! Pastor Bill wants you to understand today that even with all that we glean from God’s Word, the concept of salvation is still a mystery that has yet to be solved, but it is a gift freely available to you here and now!

No matter how much money you have, your worth and acceptance don’t come from the amount you give to the church or to the needy. Don’t feel like you have to give out of need to be accepted! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will teach that God gave the command to generously give to protect us from greed! God doesn’t need your money, but He does need your heart, and money has a way of consuming people. So, be generous with what you have, and watch how God can transform your heart!

God doesn’t need us to accomplish anything. If we refuse, His plan will still come to fruition! But the really good news is we are given the opportunity to participate and be a part of His plan! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will share that God wants you, and He wants you to be involved in His kingdom! There are so many special things about you that God designed for the betterment of not only you, but those around you! Use your God-given talents and gifts to bless others and be a part of God’s plan!!!

Contentment isn’t dictated or determined by what we have. The amount we have can’t and won’t control our quality of life. Jesus, on the other hand, will! Jesus is the source and steady power of our high quality of life! If we have Jesus, then we have everything we need, and therefore, we can be content! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will invite you to look beyond your money, your belongings, and your status. Contentment and true love come from Jesus Christ and His proximity to you!

There is only one way to lay out your treasures in heaven, that is, fasting. The spiritual discipline of fasting is just denying yourself of something you want or need, to focus yourself on God. It’s a very important and vital habit that all Christians should practice weekly, monthly, and even daily to center themselves on God. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will highlight the potential of what fasting can do for you and what it's been proven to do for others. Fasting is an opportunity to slow down and find God in the mundane!

When we give, which we are commanded to give, we have to give generously and discreetly! The Bible tells us to help others in need and to be generous with what we have been blessed with! Most people think of finances, but it could also be our time, consideration, or simply a listening ear! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to give back to God what He has blessed you with! Be faithful with the patience, the time, and even the money that the Lord has blessed you with!

Life happens…the ups and downs of everyday life are unavoidable. The difference between Christians is that we have someone going before us, and we have someone with us, and we have someone watching our back! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will remind you of the main command God gave us: God said, “Come to me!” You can go to God when life is good and easy, and when life is hard and unfortunate. God is there to help you take every step in boldness and confidence!!!

Social media and social status are meaningless. Any fame or following is meaningless. Because what happens after you die? What will you be remembered for, and what will you take with you? Do you wanna be remembered for the amount of likes or comments you got, or do you wanna be remembered for how you loved and cared for people? One of those things is eternal, and one is experiential. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to be concerned with eternity with Jesus!!!

Better is one encounter with the Lord than all the experiences of life! Better is one day with God than a thousand anywhere else! If you have nothing, yet you have the Lord, you have everything you need!!! Pastor Bill teaches in today’s message that it is better to be with God over anything else! There are a lot of influential distractions, desirable possessions, and glorified fame in this world; The Bible proves that even adding ALL those things up, it is still better to have Jesus Christ! 

Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Now, this verse doesn’t mean you can fly; it means you can endure all things, it means you love beyond your capability, and it means with Christ you can be more like Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will not only highlight the importance of context and understanding, but also show you how you are mighty because He is mighty! Knowing the promises of God and knowing God is your greatest strength!!!
