Trusting God with our family, finances, and future isn’t easy…but it is necessary! We can’t say we trust God and want Him to direct our lives and then not move an inch to obey. Whether God gives us an undeniable sign or not, we have to move; God cannot direct us if we’re not actively obeying…simply put…He can’t steer a parked car! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will show you how simply acting upon the prompting of the Lord without sign after sign can bless your life and set God’s will in motion!

In life, we will go through hard times and good times…we know this. But, more often than not, we forget why this is. God gives us ups and downs in life to teach us! Whether it is to depend on Him for what we need on a daily basis or remembering to bless Him when He does provide what we need, we need to learn! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will remind you that as you go through different seasons of life, whether good or bad, to be thankful either way! A grateful heart will never lead you astray!

After reading stories in the Bible of all God has done and all His people have done through the power of the Holy Spirit, how could you not want Him to intercede in your life?! How could you not want Him to bless you, use you, and guide you into amazing things, just like He has in the Scripture?! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to allow God to do those things in and through you! Surrender control to Him and then obey and see ALL that He can accomplish with and for you!

Think back to the time you were spiritually dead…or maybe you feel that way right now…Jesus came to defeat that spiritual death and physical death! He came so you and I could be spiritually alive in Him! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will share some of what Jesus accomplished on the cross and what that means for you. Death is no longer a worry, your unending cycle of sin is no longer a concern, Jesus Christ defeated all your worries on the cross…and He did so with YOU in mind!

All people stumble and make poor choices…even Christians…the difference is we Christians know God and are forgiven when we approach God with a humble heart! We will never get to a place where we don’t need forgiveness from God, not until we’re in heaven with God. In today’s message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to read your Bible. Reading your Bible sets you up for success, it can reveal more of God and His plan, and it encourages you to follow after God more fiercely!

A lot of time to the world, Christians look “wild”. People who don’t know Jesus and haven’t experienced Him tend to think we look crazy, but that doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter what people think; It only matters what God thinks! In today’s message, Pastor Gary will show you how nothing truly matters if you’re obeying God and following Him! If you’re aligned with God and His word and He says you’re right, then no one’s opinion matters. It is between you and the Lord to decide what is best!

Have you ever had an addition or a major renovation done on your home? Before the job started, did the construction crew get a blueprint? Or, did they just make it up as they went? Today, Pastor Gary shows how Jesus Himself set the example of following God’s blueprint for His life. How well do you know God’s blueprint – the Bible? And knowing it, how carefully do you follow it? By examining how Jesus observed God’s direction, you’ll gain insight into how you can do it as well.

In the New Testament, we read a lot of details about the birth of Christ. And of course, we have vast information about the years of His ministry. But what happened in between? Today, Pastor Gary shares some key insights from those few verses that describe Jesus’ childhood, and how they relate to our lives. What does the grace of God do in your life? Besides salvation, does it have any purpose? When you see how grace worked in Jesus’ life, you’ll have a new understanding of how it can work in yours.

It doesn’t take a lot to see that we’re living in the end times. A day doesn’t go by when we don’t have some news that demonstrates how bad this world truly is. How long can things keep going the way they are before Jesus comes back? In his message today, Pastor Gary teaches you that, if you’re saved, then you can’t just live in anticipation of Jesus’ return, but you’ve got to live in His presence NOW. Yes, heaven will be amazing, but are you living your life for Jesus today?

Do you remember getting in trouble as a kid? It was bad enough when you got caught doing something you weren’t supposed to, but what about when you slipped up and did something really stupid right in front of your parents? That’s the worst, isn’t it? Today, in his message, Pastor Gary teaches you that if you’re a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian, then God is with you now. The Holy Spirit is God dwelling in you, and He’s with you everywhere you go. Are you living your life in a way that’s pleasing to Him?
