The Implanted Word Podcast

We live in a world where people would rather acknowledge the existence of a “higher being.” They’ll say it’s the universe, or Muhammad, or any other false idol on earth. But the reality is that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings. Jesus is the Lord of Lords, and He came to earth to save you from your sins. Why? Because He loves you so much that He would take the punishment for the sins of everyone who believes in Him. So, today, Pastor Bill shares with you the characteristics of Jesus Christ that make Him Lord and Saviour. 

Have you ever been to the point in your life where you feel like you’re going crazy? The same thing happened to David in the Bible. While David was on the run from King Saul, he fled to the city where he killed Goliath and found himself having a breakdown. Just as David felt like he was hitting rock bottom, God spoke to him and guided Him to safety. And when you feel like you have nowhere to turn to, Pastor Bill wants you to know that God will always be there for you. Today is a new day; let God guide you.

I think it’s safe to say that everyone’s gone down a rabbit hole of emotions. People tend to overthink and be anxious. They start wondering why their life gets harder and start talking to God. “Why are you doing this? What have I done to deserve this? Why me?” And just when it gets bad, they start to lose their faith in the Lord. But God never loses faith in you. You can be down on your worst luck, straying away from God, but the second you seek Him, He will find you! So today, Pastor Bill reminds you to rest in God.

A common misconception about Christianity is the belief in Hell. Some people believe in a place that only bad people go to, and others don’t believe in it at all. But the truth is that it’s real and that everyone deserves to go. You’re probably thinking, “That’s a little harsh. I haven’t done anything bad, so why am I so deserving of Hell?” Because everyone sins, and the punishment for sin is eternal separation from God. But God doesn’t want to be without you, so He offers His Grace and mercy. So today, Pastor Bill shares the truth. 

If you’ve ever run a race, you know that you want to get the best time possible. So you’ll work your way up to your goal. You work out, eat right, and drink lots of water, but sometimes, you can forget to rest - an absence of rest can sometimes lead to burnout. And just like running a race, you need rest in the Lord. Sometimes, you end up running on fumes before you realize that your tank is empty. So in today’s message, Pastor Bill advises you to rest with and in the Lord because you may need it more than you think.

If you’re a parent, you know that you would do anything for your child. A parent’s love for their son or daughter is stronger than any bond, so you know that your Father in Heaven loves you. God loves you so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for your sins. What love can be greater than that? So in today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that God loves you so much that He can’t stand losing you. That’s why He gave you His Son. Like a shepherd who cares for His flock - like a Father who loves His children.  

When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they broke God’s only rule to them. Since then, humanity has had sin in their hearts. Sin is what ultimately separates us from God, but God still loves us. God loves us so much that He sent His blameless and perfect Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. All we would have to do is accept Christ into our hearts. So today, Pastor Bill shares with you an opportunity to join God’s family and encourages you to let Him be your Shepherd. 

Would you rather be a tree planted by the water and firmly rooted, or a piece of chaff blowing through the wind, with no use? That’s the difference between following Christ or choosing not to. The two lives should look completely different. Today, Pastor Bill’s going to show you that choosing God is what plants those roots of the tree, so you can stand firm against the storms that Satan tries to throw your way and make you forget about God and stumble into sin. And the choice is completely yours.

There are more blessings than you can even comprehend in following God. But, they aren’t where your focus should be. Yes, those good things can come, but without a solid foundation in Christ, the trials that come your way can quickly distract you from all the goodness of God. Today, Pastor Bill’s going to encourage you to spend time with God daily to know Him more, so you can see God move in and through your life more. True joy is found in knowing The Father more and more every day.

There’s no value in anything on this earth if you don’t get the most important thing right. Salvation through Jesus Christ is free, and it only takes a decision on your part to accept it, be forgiven of your sins, and turn from them. Today, Pastor Bill’s going to show you that the best foundation you can give to anything else in your life is to first have your relationship with God and to have it alive and growing. He can provide you with everything else you need along the way if you remain faithful to Him.
