The Implanted Word Podcast

Did you know that God has actually displayed His Love for us in the most amazing way? God showed us His love by sending His one and only son Jesus to live here on earth. Jesus lived the perfect life that we never could. Then He took our punishment that He didn't deserve. Because of His sacrifice and resurrection, we can now have eternal life with God. That's a demonstration of Love. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will be sharing more about this gospel and the Love that wrote this story for us!

Have you ever stopped to consider what God's Love is for people? The Agape Love that He shows us is something that we could never earn or deserve. God even decides to show this kind of Love to people who will end up rejecting Him. The Bible says “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” This unconditional love is referred to as Agape love. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will be sharing more about what this Agape love looks like in the life of a follower of Jesus. 

Have you ever become discouraged when you look at the circumstances surrounding your life? We have all been there at some point. Feeling beat down and weary from the world. Luckily Jesus is able to empathize with us. God sees us in our hard circumstances and He made a promise. The Bible says “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world!” In today’s message, Pastor Bill will be sharing about relying on the power of the He who is within us, whenever life gets hard!

There is responsibility in knowing the truth. As Christians, we know the truth of the Gospel and realize what it means to this world! There is a responsibility to share this truth with the world, but we can’t do that in our own strength. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will be sharing about sharing this truth through the power of the Holy Spirit. He is referred to as our helper. He is the one who can give us the strength, boldness, and courage to fulfill the great commission. We need Him daily!

Where do you find your source of truth? Nowadays whenever we read something on social media we can’t trust it at first glance. Everyone out there is looking for the truth whether it pertains to something big or small. We value the truth as humans because no one wants to be following a lie. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will be speaking about the ultimate truth. We can find God's truth through His Word, The Holy Spirit, and The person of Jesus! This is the kind of truth we can build our lives on. 

Have you ever felt like you had to work to please God? He will Love us regardless of anything we do, but when we are seen in Christ's righteousness, it pleases God. The Bible even says that “without faith, it is impossible to please God.” Righteousness and faith both actually come from God. In today’s message, Pastor Bill is going to be sharing about what it looks like to have God be pleased with us. The reality is there is nothing that we can do to make Him Love us anymore or any less!

Have you ever had someone do something and you knew that you would have to return the favor? That’s not a bad thing, but it's not how God's Love works. We can’t view God’s love as a “back-and-forth” exchange of favors. God’s Love is something that doesn’t operate based on what He can get in return. He Loved us before we did anything that made us worthy of being Loved. In today’s message, Pastor Bill is going to be sharing about the incredible Agape Love that God shows us every day. 

Do you remember where you were before you met Jesus? Maybe you were saved for years, but maybe it’s only been a few weeks! The beautiful thing about a relationship with Jesus is that He loves us enough to meet us where we’re at, but too much to have us stay there. A life lived with Jesus is a life that is being transformed by the power of His Gospel! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will be sharing about the transformed life of a believer. Our whole purpose is to become more like Jesus. 

When you think of grace what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it positive or negative? Does your experience with the grace of God spur you to action? When we see people in the Bible come face to face with God’s Grace they are left with a decision. Jesus showed the Grace and Mercy so that people would leave that encounter changing their lives. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will be sharing about our proper response to God’s Grace. How different is your life because of Grace?

Some people will claim to be Christians, but, then their life does not reflect the teachings of Christ at all. There are many people in the Bible who claimed to follow the Lord, but then their actions spoke otherwise! In today’s message, Pastor Bill is going to be sharing about what it looks like to actually follow Jesus. Jesus is not a “Get-out-of-Hell” free card. He is the God who spoke creation into existence. Jesus expects us to live Holy and righteous lives if we are going to be following him!
