The Living Word

Sometimes we get so caught up with what we look like we don’t actually notice what we act and think like. In today’s message, Pastor Danny warns us about that distraction. When we let Christ into our lives we shouldn’t expect a physical transformation, but a spiritual one an emotional one. Christ’s love for us should be given to others through us. If we accept Christ just to make ourselves “look Hollier” well then we’re just self-obsessed liars. Jesus washed the feet of others, he never demanded that they wash his.

It’s a pretty common thing to see people call themselves Christians simply because they were in church or because they don’t need a certain amount. But it’s not just about attendance or action, right? In today's message Pastor Danny explains that Christianity isn’t just doing the right thing it’s also why you do it in the first place. Is it for personal gain? Image? Pride? If any of those are the reasons then you’re bound for disappointment. Our goal as Christians should always be to further the kingdom of God.

In today’s message, Pastor Danny asks us a very important question, “with all of the undeniable examples and proof of who Jesus was why do we still need to read?” The answer is that people, knowingly or not, reject Jesus out of fear of their own insufficiency. If you were doing something completely wrong, would it hurt to find out? Probably! But does that mean that you should just keep doubling along and making the same mistakes? No! We need to push past our hurt pride and start doing things right.

Have you ever learned something that was so interesting or exciting that you just had to share it with somebody? Well in today’s message Pastor Danny explains that we need to be that way with Jesus. We’re instructed to go out and be his witnesses and why wouldn’t we want to be Jesus' witness? He gave life because he is life. If you want to be Jesus’ witness you can’t try and dampen it to make it sound more correct to others. Witness for Jesus as he is and nothing less.

As Christians, we read about heaven and we know that it's real, but do we really treat it with the importance that it deserves? Do we treat it as something more spectacular than anything we know or do we treat it more like a fantasy that might not be real? Today Pastor Danny wants you to know that heaven is a beautifully real thing and it's imminent. When you surrender yourself to Jesus you receive his promise of eternal life and secure your place in heaven with him. Seek after Jesus and be saved.

The question that most of us have been forever wondering is, “what happens when we die?”. After we leave this earth where do we go? Well, today Pastor Danny wants you to know that Jesus sacrificed himself for you so that you can be saved. There is a place in God’s kingdom for you and you’re created in His image. Through God's trichotomy, we experience the Holy Spirit and His son Jesus in different ways. Know where you stand with eternity and be saved by the sacrifice that Jesus made for you.

In our society, many people think that it’s a religion that saves us. The focus is put on the church customs and rituals instead of on the reason for all of it, Jesus. In today's message Pastor, Danny wants you to know that to truly experience all that he has for your life you need to fully humble yourself beforehand. Serve as he served and focus on who you are through Him. Church walls and books will never save you. It’s only through the power of Jesus’ sacrifice that you are set free.

Have you ever washed somebody’s feet? In our culture, it's not common, but it is a powerful symbol of humility. In today's message, Pastor Danny wants you to know that Jesus is calling you to be a servant in the same way he was. If you’re a christ follower serve the world around you and humble yourself. Those who serve as Jesus did will inherit the kingdom of heaven. The first will be last and the last will be first. Be more like Jesus and give your all to everyone around you.

When we become Christians do we really live out the full extent of our faith? We like the easy things like going to church and reading our Bible. But when it comes to sharing His Gospel with the world do we give it our all? Today, Pastor Danny wants you to know that in order to experience the fullness of God's love in your life you need to make a point to evangelize to everyone around you. It’s not enough to live a comfy life only hanging around other believers, we need to take a step of faith and change the world for Him.

In our current culture, self-help and motivation books dominate the media. We’re taught that you can accomplish anything on your own. So then why does failure continue to happen? Well, today Pastor Danny wants you to know that the wisdom of the world will always let you down. To fully experience what God has for your life, you need to surrender yourself to Him and sacrifice yourself. Saying no to what you think you want is always going to be one of the hardest things to do. But God is always going to be there for you and He wants what’s best for your life.
