The Implanted Word Podcast

Jesus desires you to not just bear good fruit, but He wants you to bear much fruit! Jesus came for you to live life more abundantly, not for you to just remain the same way He found you. Being forgiven of your sins is just the beginning, you now need to abide in the Lord so that you can bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. If you find yourself lacking love, peace, joy, gentleness, and self-control, it’s because you're not staying connected to Jesus. Make the Lord your priority!     

God didn’t save you from the penalty of your sins, for you to simply continue living in it. The Lord loves you too much to save you and then just leave you in that same condition. As Pastor Bill continues his teaching series through the Gospel of John, he’ll be challenging you to cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit in and through your life. The number one evidence that someone has truly received the Lord, is a transformed life. If you look and act the same as always, there’s a major problem. 

Today, Pastor Bill will be explaining why Jesus specifically called Himself the True Vine. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life, and no one comes to the Father, except through Him! Jesus is making sure everyone understands that there is no other way for your sins to be forgiven apart from His sacrifice on the cross. Not all religions lead to Heaven, because there is only one way you can be saved, and that’s by receiving Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins by grace through faith alone.  

Life is full of things that can leave you discouraged. It can be easy sometimes to walk around with a little rain cloud over your head, especially if you watch the news too much. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will show you how to have the supernatural peace of God, in every circumstance. So that even when things get hard, your heart doesn’t have to be troubled. It can be rooted in the eternal truth that Jesus has made possible. Keep listening to learn how you can claim this peace and joy that’s free for all. 

In today’s message, Pastor Bill shows us the significance of what it means to have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. In the Scriptures, we are told that our bodies are not just vessels of flesh and bone, but sacred dwelling places for the Spirit of God. The same God who created the heavens and the earth, the God who spoke the universe into existence, has chosen to make His dwelling place within you and me. It means that wherever we go, whatever we do, God is with us, strengthening us to do God’s will.

In today’s message, Pastor Bill shows us that the answer to fear is the peace that only Jesus can give. Not only that, but God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us walk in that peace. The Holy Spirit is a personal and living presence within us. This divine friendship illuminates our minds, reveals the truth, and ignites our hearts with a burning passion for the Kingdom of God. When we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, we invite God to transform our lives, enabling us to walk in peace, no matter the circumstances.

In today’s message, Pastor Bill teaches us what it means for the Holy Spirit to live in us. If you ever thought that God was someone who liked to keep his distance, maybe someone who passively watches from above, well think again. God has given us his spirit to literally dwell in us as we go through life. What does that mean? Well for one, we never have to be alone. God cares enough about us, that he wants to help us every step of the way. Keep listening to learn how much he cares for you.

Do you know what it’s like to hear the Holy Spirit speak to you? In today’s message, Pastor Bill tells some funny stories that explain what the Holy Spirit’s voice sounds like in his life. If you’re not sure what the Holy Spirit is, He’s the actual living spirit of God that lives inside of followers of Jesus. He helps us know what is right and wrong, comforts us in hard times, and even gives guidance when we have to make hard decisions. Keep listening to to see why you never have to be alone.

In today’s message, Pastor Bill helps us discover how to overcome the struggles of this life by drawing close to God. Life is full of really hard things. Whether it’s loss, loneliness, financial stress, or an infinite number of things, we are going to face situations that will try and discourage our hearts. In today’s message, Pastor Bill shows us that as we focus on and continue to get to know God, He will help us set our gaze on things that are eternal so that no trial in this life can leave us defeated.

When Jesus died and rose again, He paid the price for anyone to have a relationship with God. So if you’re saved, then your eternity is secured! However, there is still work to be done! Jesus commissioned the disciples to go out and make disciples of all nations! That charge is still being carried out today! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will be sharing about the works that Jesus has for us to do. If we lean in and ask Him for the opportunities and the strength to do them, He’ll answer that prayer!
