The Living Word

The Lord’s prayer isn’t something you are meant to just recite, like a mantra. Its words give life and give purpose. And give direction on how to do this faith journey. Pastor Danny talks today about how setting up a daily time with the Lord is vital to your spiritual health. After all the prayer says to ask for provision for this day, today. It doesn't cover a week, a month, or a year. Choose to pray for today, for right now, and learn to live your life in the knowledge that your savior is with you always.

You need to settle the issue of your soul today. In today’s message from Pastor Danny, he encourages you to not put off for tomorrow what could be done for today.

Pastor Danny urges you to not leave your eternal life to chance. Choose today to receive the gift of eternal salvation, offered through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Receive Jesus today!

Religious people are different from true disciples. As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Danny, he explains to you that religious people will talk the talk but they won’t actually walk the walk. Religious people are all about a list of dos and don’ts. They are quick to find faults in others and to put on a performance with their outward religious actions. Pastor Danny explains that a religious person is not submitted to the Lord, they are caught up in their words and deeds. A true disciple submits humbly to the Lord.

Do you realize that words can do a great deal of damage in a person's life? In today’s message from Pastor Danny, he encourages you to spread words that will build up, encourage, and breathe life into others. Don’t use your words to tear down, discourage, or hurt others. The Bible says that life and death are found in the tongue. Our words are extremely powerful. Pastor Danny reminds us to be sure to use your words for the good of others. Speak kindness, blessing and truth with love and grace.

Sometimes independence can bring about a heart that is not submissive. As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Danny, he urges you to consider your heart posture with the Lord. Is your heart in a place where it is tender and workable soil? Or is your heart in a condition of hardness and rocky ground? Pastor Danny encourages you to humbly allow the Lord to till the garden of your heart. It is important to be open and eager for what the Lord wants you to do in the end through your life.

Do you stand for the truth of the Gospel? Well, as you listen to today’s message from Pastor Danny, he shares with you that sometimes standing for the truth found in the Word of God can be difficult. We live in a society that encourages everyone to look the same and to be accepting of everything. However, there are many Biblical examples where the disciples of Jesus would have to stand for what is true. Pastor Danny encourages you to always share truth in love but to also be sure to stand up for the truth of the Gospel message of Jesus.

When it comes to the Bible do you try and focus on the majors or on the minors? As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Danny, he explains to you that a lot of times people can get so caught up in the weeds that they forget to zoom out and see the entire forest. The same can be true when it comes to the word of God. Pastor Danny explains that unfortunately, we’re not going to fully understand all of the Bible so don’t get discouraged in the things that are a little confusing. Stick with what God has made clear in Christ.

It’s so important to be aware of idols in your life. As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Danny, he encourages you to get rid of any idols in your life. An idol is anything that takes that #1 spot and priority in your life. Idols can be people, materials, or anything else that consume your heart and pull you away from God. Pastor Danny urges you to sit with the Lord and allow Him to reveal anything that is getting in the way of your walk with Him. He alone is your good shepherd.

Where are you storing up your treasure? As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Danny, he encourages you to ask yourself this question, “Do you consider your treasure being in materials? Your bank account? Or in the people of this world?” Pastor Danny explains that when your treasure is stored up in the care and concerns of this world, it will ultimately bring you disappointment. The only person who is not going to disappoint you in this life is the Lord. Store up your treasure in heaven with Him.

In whom or what are you placing your trust? In today’s message from Pastor Danny, he explains to you that everyone has fears and is afraid of something, but who or what do you turn to in order to help you with those fears? The Bible has the command to not be afraid over 300 times, within its context. That’s a reminder from God to you nearly every single day to not be afraid. Pastor Danny encourages you not to place your trust in the things of this world, but to place all of your trust in the hope and truth of Jesus.
