It can be an easy trap to fall into, can’t it? Wanting to tell someone what to do rather than allowing them to discover who they are in Christ so they can be set free. Pastor Bill shares that we can be conditioned to depend on this or that program or follow certain steps in a self-help book when we need help. But knowing who you are in Christ is the best way to break the chains of whatever you are struggling with. His promises to you will change your life. Believe it and receive it.

When we are saved, we all have the same responsibility or commission. To go into all the world and share the good news of salvation through the belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And to also love and serve others. As Pastor Bill shares today, you can turn your ordinary feet into happy feet when you do two things. First, Run TO Jesus for salvation and then run FOR Him by sharing the Gospel and serving others. And in the process, you become happier as well.

Isn’t that so true? When our attention is focused on the things in this world to bring us happiness, we can feel empty and dissatisfied. And often your wants increase more and more as you try to satisfy that desire for happiness. But in today’s message Pastor Bill shares that when you focus on the true source of happiness, a relationship with Jesus, you begin to develop what he calls “happy feet” for the Lord. Happy feet that will bring happiness to you, those around you, and the Lord.

Today's message is one that will set your feet to dancing and put a smile on your face! So as you settle in to listen, throw off everything that is weighing you down and turn your eyes to Jesus. Pastor Bill is going to show us through the book of Romans that we get to live lives of joyous expectation and celebration. We don't have to wait for heaven to start the party! As a matter of fact, if you start the party now, people will begin to wonder what it is you've got that they want but don't have yet!

We get caught up so much in the daily grind that we forget. We forget the greatness of the story we have joined. We forget that the good news is actually good news and that our good news trumps all the bad news. The economy can crash, the disease can spread, and the political scene can be upside down and backward. But you and I have something that is so much greater! We have a life that flows out of us through the Spirit of God. Pastor Bill is going to remind you today of the joy of your salvation!

Have you ever looked at your walk with Jesus in that way? Now, Pastor Bill isn't saying that life is easy and there aren't hard things to deal with! Not at all! What he is saying is that we've got good news to share. We've got the Spirit alive inside of us and that makes even the hard things worth it! And when you have the Spirit inside of you, you won't look like the rest of the world. You won't be staring at all the bad news because the good news is bursting out of your life, and not just with your words!

Your brain is fully capable of engaging with the rules. You can memorize them. You can learn them. You can teach them. But until your heart is all in, you won't live them! The amazing thing is that once your heart is all in with Jesus, everything else falls into place. Pastor Bill is going to show you today what it means to have a heart that is all in with Jesus, and it's better than you ever dreamed it could be! Let the joy of your salvation sail away with your heart today as you soak in this message from Romans!

Jesus came to set you free from the rules. Does that surprise you? A lot of people think that coming to Jesus means following all the rules and that by doing that you will earn your way into heaven. Pastor Bill is here to tell you today that there is nothing you can do to earn your way to heaven. Not a single thing! So you're gonna need a different plan! Lucky for you, God already provided a plan. He worked out all the details and executed the plan perfectly. Now all you have to do is say “yes” to Jesus!

Do you ever wonder if you're truly going to heaven? Have you checked off all the right boxes? Have you repented enough? Have you done enough to pass? Pastor Bill is going to show us through the book of Romans today that there is a way you can one hundred percent know that you are going to heaven when you die. You don't have to guess anymore! So if you've ever asked any of these questions, or even thought them in your head, stick around to find the answers and gain God's peace!

When God brought the plagues to Egypt, it made things very uncomfortable for the Israelites as well as the Egyptians. The Israelites had to wonder if there wasn't an easier way to be freed from slavery. They had to wonder if Moses wasn't just making everything worse for them. And they had to wonder where was God, after so many years. Do you ever look at your life and wonder if there isn't an easier way? Pastor Bill is going to show us there's a purpose to God's creative storytelling today.
