The Implanted Word Podcast

We call the Bible the Word of God. And as such, there is nothing more important to know thoroughly and accurately than the Bible! But… why do we study the Bible? Is it primarily to learn facts, theology, or history? Today, Pastor Bill shows that the most important reason to study the Bible is to learn more and more about Jesus. The more you learn about Jesus, the more you’ll understand His great love for you. The more you learn about His love, the more united you’ll be with His heart for people. 

What would you say is the purpose of your life? Why are you here? Today, Pastor Bill shares that Jesus spelled out exactly why each of us is here. Just as God the Father sent Jesus on the mission to rescue people, Jesus has sent us on that same mission. When you are living your life focused on Jesus’s mission, it puts everything else into place. God has put you into your own specific situation and surrounded you with your own specific people. You have a message that they need to know!

What would you say is the joy of your life? People everywhere are searching for meaning, purpose, and happiness. They may be looking to a person, a job, a possession, a pleasure... But, as Pastor Bill shares today, there is ONE SURE SOURCE of true and reliable joy, and that is the person of Jesus. It starts with faith. But it goes beyond that. Jesus has sent us on a mission, just as His Father sent Him on a mission. And when we are fully engaged in that mission, He promises us the full measure of His joy.

Have you ever experienced the joy of successfully completing a difficult task? When Jesus arrived in this world, He had a mission to complete. When Jesus died on the cross, He took all of our sins upon Himself and delivered us from the clutches of sin. Do you realize that you, as a believer, have a mission given to you by Jesus? Pastor Bill explains today, how God has a plan for your life. In the same way that Jesus had the mission of saving us from eternal death, Jesus has given you the mission of sharing the Gospel.

We, as humans, are always in need of something in our lives. You may aspire to own a flashy car or feel compelled to purchase a home. And many times, we take our dreams and needs and present them to the Lord, asking Him to fulfill them. But God only allows you to do certain things. Pastor Bill discusses in today's message, how God desires glory in all that He gives you. You can be confident that your creator will meet all of your daily needs and desires, and He wants nothing but glory from it all. 

The most important aspect of our lives is prayer. However, we tend to pretend in our prayers. We feel compelled to demonstrate how we pray in order to make an impression on others. Is this, however, the correct approach? Pastor Bill demonstrates today, the proper way to pray. The only reason you should pray to God is to connect with your heavenly Father. You don't have to show how you pray to others; instead, you can show God how much you love Him by developing a relationship with Him through prayer.

Someone is always there to guide us at every stage of our lives. Be it at school, where your teacher is in charge and guides you accordingly, or at work, where your boss is in charge and directs you in accordance. But do you know who controls your life? Pastor Bill discusses in today's message, how Jesus is in charge of your life. Jesus guides and protects you at every stage of your life. You can ask Him to show you the way in every step you take. All you have to do is put your trust in Jesus and obey His will.

What a powerful statement from Pastor Bill! Do you ever wish you knew everything there was to know about everyone? You may recognize people by their names or through social media. You can get any information on the Internet, but there are some limitations. But did you know that someone knows everything? Pastor Bill explains today, how Jesus is all-knowing. Jesus has known you since before you were born. He knows which path is best for you and which is not. He always leads you in the right direction!

You may have heard about ongoing tensions between various countries. In today's world, war is waged under the guise of terrorism. As a result, hostility between the two countries persists. But do you know what the most important war was? Pastor Bill tells you today, how Jesus fought the greatest war in history. When it was time for Jesus to be carried to the cross, He fought the pain, mockery, and Satan. He took all our sins and gave His life on the cross so, that we could be saved and have eternal life.

The Bible says that God is our father, or in other words, our dad. What is your dad here on Earth like? Your relationship with him can taint your view of God as a father. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will show you that God is a perfect father. You don’t have to earn his love. He will ALWAYS be there for you. And unlike your earthly father, God doesn’t mess up. It’s for this very reason that you can have abounding joy in ALL circumstances. Keep listening to learn how you can claim your joy.
