The Implanted Word Podcast

There are certain scriptures and ideas in the Bible that will continue to remain a mystery to our human minds. Surely there is nothing on this earth comparable to 'God-in-three-person'. Pastor Bill details the mystery of God being three entities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – but there's one God. Throughout the Bible, he's also known by many names, but it's still one God encompassing it all. He responds to many names, but don't you just love it that He responds? Call on Him today!

If it ever feels like you're just going through the motions of life, we hope today re-energizes you to look to Heaven for the ultimate plan! Jesus doesn't call us into a boring life, but one that is filled with faith, love, and joy. Pastor Bill reminds us that we know what our purpose is because of the book of John. The gospel of John not only emphasizes the power of Jesus but that Jesus has also called us into his glorious plans! Shake off those cobwebs over your eyes in the mundane, because God's got a lot in store for you!

"Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it," bellows the words from a Harvard professor. Even in the Bible, one of the most sobering verses in the Old Testament comes from the book of Jesus that states, 'people went around those days doing RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES'! Pastor Bill goes a step further to say that phrase sounds a lot like our world today. Even today, there are still people in this world that think they know more than the God of the heavens. Today, don't just make Christianity convenient. Make it co-dependent on Jesus!

How often are our daily problems turning into mountains from molehills? Sometimes we think that the problems we go through are too insignificant for a mighty God. Why would one that created the heavens and the earth worry about me? Consequently, we try to move our mountains with our own strength. Pastor Bill encourages us that God is ultimately the One that will bring stability to our lives and establish us. There simply just has to be faith and trust on our part today.

Everyone craves that intriguing life. A life that always keeps us at the edge of our seats with an exciting adventure. Or maybe that sentence sounded exhausting to you just thinking about it? What if your Christianity was like that? Jesus doesn't want religion for you that stays stale, but a relationship that's vibrant. Yet, Pastor Bill humorously reminds us to be careful when we do that because Jesus will change everything radically! There's no better time than right now to make sure Jesus is at the center of all you do today!

On school field trips, Teachers always remind their students, "Now make sure you are on your best behavior! You are representing the school!" Or maybe those same words came from parents or family members. For the family, school, or even business we represent, we become the example of that entity. Pastor Bill points out that even Christians are under a microscope of scrutiny. Whether in the New Testament or today, our lives are always on display to show the heart of God.

"Be on your guard" is a timeless phrase. Or how about - "watch your back"? It's a saying we use to remind someone to always be attentive. In the book of Romans, Paul also urges the churches of the New Testament to be watchful for the people that only come to corrupt the church. Pastor Bill even urges us today not only to bring joy into the church but also to bring wisdom. There are many things in this world that set out to deceive us, but it's our wisdom in God that helps us navigate the deception!

Have you ever wondered if God could really use YOU? I mean when you read the Bible, it seems like it’s full of superheroes, right? Well, think again. The Bible is full of people like the Apostle Paul and Peter, but it’s also full of normal people like you and me whom God used. No matter your shape, size, or personality, you are the perfect instrument for God to use. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will show you that God is wanting to use YOU to make an impact on those in your life.

Can you remember the last time you had to do a turn and greet in church? There tend to be two types of people. The ones who love it and wish they could walk to the other side of the sanctuary to greet everyone, and then there are those who are just waiting for it to end, praying that no one wants to shake their sweaty hand. Have you ever wondered if greeting each other was necessary? Is going to church necessary? In today's message, Pastor Bill will help you answer these questions through God’s word.

In today’s message, Pastor Bill covers a question that is very much trending in the American church. Is it really that important to be a consistent member of a church? Many people have been burned by the church and would rather walk with Jesus alone. Some feel like they don’t belong because they don’t look a certain way or feel like they aren’t cleaned up enough. If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation or just need to be encouraged to keep loving the church, this message is for you.
