Because of the obvious differences between light and darkness, it is easy to spot darkness and light in the world. Unfortunately it is a little harder to spot that in people’s lives. God created it as so, He said the light was good and therefore we’re to strive for light… for good! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will show you how light and darkness effect people and just life in general, and how you can learn to spot that in people, places, and things. Knowing light from dark, good from evil, will help you thrive in all areas of life!

Submission is one of the most forgotten and misunderstood things in christianity. Oftentimes people are weary because it has been misrepresented and abused, so we shy away from it for obvious reasons. In today’s message, Pastor Gary will share the biblical definition of submission and how God intended it from the start. Submission isn’t just rolling over and doing whatever someone says, it is recognizing godly leadership and following who God has appointed in your life!!!

God wants to fill you with His presence and bless you with many gifts! When He does that, He wants you to share them with everyone! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will share about the many blessings of Jesus and how they are direct proof of His love! Just as an apple tree doesn’t eat its own fruit, but bears the fruit through much pruning and growth, so others can be blessed to eat it…you are the same way! You’re gifts, the fruit you bear, are not for your own pleasure but to edify God’s people!!!

God has perfect timing that we will NEVER understand! In our minds, we can only comprehend (sometimes) what has happened or what is happening. God, on the other hand, can comprehend and plan what is to come! God can see the future and can plan it according to His perfect will! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will encourage you as you may be worried about the future, past, or even present, remember that God is in control. God can undoubtedly plan and handle your past, present, and future!

Ever feel like you don’t belong, like life’s pushed you to the margins? In today’s message, Pastor Gary discusses Mark 5:19, when Jesus frees a man from demons—a man so broken, his community shunned him, leaving him to dwell only among graves. Yet Jesus saw him, delivered him, and said, “Go home.” Home! To a place he’d been exiled from. Jesus doesn’t just heal; He gives you a place again. Are you carrying wounds that make you feel alienated? Will you let Jesus bring you back to hope?

Are you stuck in your own daily grind, wondering if there’s a bigger purpose? In today’s message, Pastor Gary brings up Peter, Andrew, James, and John—four ordinary fishermen. They’re like countless others, grinding through backbreaking labor. Their lives were mundane, weighed down by nets and sweat, until Jesus called them to something greater. Jesus saw their potential. What’s holding you back from answering His call? Will you keep casting nets, or step out toward His purpose?

In today’s message, Pastor Gary discusses Luke 4, where it says Jesus preached with astonishing power—not a passive glow, but an active, life-altering force that gripped hearts. It’s like the spark to a wildfire, it changes everything. Are you chasing that kind of impact in your faith? Is your goal to be effective for God, no matter the crowd? Jesus’ doctrine hit hard because it carried divine power. What’s your aim today—to shift lives or chase fleeting praise? Whose heart will you ignite with His truth?

Ever met someone claiming spirituality because of flashy gifts, yet they’re mean, judgmental, or cruel? In today’s message, Pastor Gary makes a point about the Spirit’s fruit. They’re like the heartbeat of God’s character in us. Gifts of the Spirit, like prophecy or healing, show His power, but without fruit? They’re hollow. You can have fruit without gifts, but gifts without fruit aren’t truly His. That’s a red flag. The Spirit’s fruit proves His presence. So, what’s growing within you today?

Pride is one of the main things that gets in the way of our relationship with God and His people…and surprisingly enough, God allows this type of pride in our hearts, so that we can learn humility; We can learn to be submissive to a higher power than ourselves. We need God, no matter what our pride may say, we cannot do life without Him. In today’s message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to set your pride aside and surrender in meekness before the Lord! You will be surprised at how God rewards that humility!

Worship is prayer, raising our voices in adoration to God, reading the Bible, and everything else in between; Everything we do, inside and outside the Church building, can be worship! Whatever it is, we can use it to honor God and show Him our faith! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will challenge you on how, when, and where you worship. God is a good God, and He demands true and sacrificial worship. That kind of worship happens starting in your quiet time and then overflows on a Sunday morning!
