A Transforming Word

Jonah wanted to escape from God's calling, eager to chart his own course and do things on his own terms. So, we all know how that story wrapped up, don’t we? In the end, Jonah found himself back on the path of God’s calling. Today, Pastor Bill shares that you can’t keep dodging the purpose God has set for your life. He'll guide you right back to what you were meant to do. Well, it looks...

As we go through this world, we know there is much to be done. People are hungry, hurting, and walking through life in darkness because of sin. But today, there is something we can do: we can share the gospel, care for those in need, and live as ambassadors of Christ. In this message, Pastor Bill reminds us that while the laborers are few, the harvest is plentiful, and there is always work to be d...

In this life, we go through things that can feel unfair. Sometimes we face struggles, weaknesses, and temptations that feel beyond our control. But it is amazing to know that what we experience here is not permanent. Jesus Christ offers us eternal life when we place our trust in Him. And in heaven, there will be no sin, no pain, and no suffering; only peace and joy in the presence of God. So in to...

Sometimes in our walk with God, we can forget that our God is a big God. He is not limited, conditional, or ordinary. He is omnipresent, omnipotent, and sovereign. Nothing in our lives is too big or too small for Him. He is everything we need. So today’s message, Pastor Bill invites you to place your faith in Jesus Christ, receive Him into your heart, and trust Him to transform your life. Believe...

Have you ever been to a church that has a dress code? While there’s nothing wrong with dressing respectfully, the Bible does not place salvation or righteousness on specific clothing like suits, ties, or what women wear. In modern Christianity, people can sometimes create rules that go beyond what the Bible teaches. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Bill encourages you to focus not on man-made...

In this life, it can be easy to pass judgment on people. It’s easy to see the sin in other people’s lives and critique them while having a log in our own eye. However, as followers of Christ, we’re not called to pass judgment; we’re called to guide others to the one who can change them, Jesus Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Bill encourages us to seek out Jesus, the one who can transform us, the...

Oftentimes, we don’t feel good enough to come to Christ, and the truth is, on our own, we aren’t. But that’s exactly why Jesus came into this world. He knew we could not save ourselves or pay the price for our sins, so He did it for us out of love. God’s love knows no bounds. He wants us as we are so that we can follow Him and be changed. He doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. Tha...

Sometimes, as we go through this world, we see what others are going through, and it leads us to judge them for how they act. Often, we can even do this toward other believers, too, criticizing them simply because they do things differently than we would. But today, Pastor Bill reminds us that we were once also lost without Christ, walking through this world spiritually blind. So instead of judgin...

Have you ever noticed that there are some things in life that make you think, “I can’t do this alone”? Many times, people encounter difficult paths ahead and feel the weight of the world clouding their vision. But that’s why Jesus came to this world: to lead, guide, and take your place on the cross. All because He loves you. So in today’s message, Pastor Bill encourages place your faith in Jesus a...

In this life, we often love and forgive others when it’s convenient, but pull away when it becomes difficult. In the same way, we sometimes only allow God into the parts of our lives that are convenient or comfortable for us. And that can be challenging to have two rulers in our lives, ourselves, and God. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Bill urges us to stop limiting God and to surrender eve...

As we go through this world, we feel the need to over-prepare before we can share our faith. We think we need Bible school, or perfect knowledge, before we’re allowed to talk about Jesus. But while growth and learning are important, the truth is that you don’t need to be an expert to share what Christ has done in your life. You simply need to share the hope you’ve received. So today, Pastor Bill w...

Have you ever seen videos online of dramatic moments in ministry, whether it’s deliverance, prayer, or people responding strongly at the altar? While God does work through His people in powerful ways, it’s important to remember where the true power comes from. It is not in human ability, but in God alone. He works through His people, but He is the one who brings the change. That’s why Pastor Bill...

Oftentimes in life, we think we need an entourage or a large group of people to accomplish a mission from God. While there is nothing wrong with serving alongside others, the reality is that God is not limited by numbers. Ultimately, what we need most is faith in Him and a willing heart. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Bill reminds us that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens...

If you’ve ever played a sport, you know you have to stay ready for anything, stutter-stepping, to what you don’t always see coming. In many ways, that’s how people respond to God. Sometimes you’ll feel like He’s silent, and you hesitate. Other times, you hear His direction but resist it, preparing yourself to move on your own terms. But today, Pastor Bill encourages you to stay grounded in the Wor...

Sometimes in life, it can feel like we have no idea what we’re doing, and the path before us can seem dark and uncertain. That’s why we need to place our faith in Jesus Christ. Without Him, we rely on our own understanding, which is limited and flawed. But in today’s message, Pastor Bill reminds us that we don’t have to walk through life blindly. When we trust in Jesus, He gives us direction and l...

As we go through life, we will face struggles and challenges that will push us to our very limits. For some, it may be wounds from people they can’t let go of. For others, it may be things of the world that feel like they have a grip on their lives. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Bill reminds us that whatever we’re going through, we should bring it to Jesus. Be honest with Him - He can wor...

Have you ever gone to someone in a time of need? Maybe you’re in a rough season, feeling like it’s one bad thing after another, or facing something that feels overwhelming. Whatever you’re going through, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you can hold onto faith in the One who promises to be by your side: Jesus Christ. He heals, He comforts, and He saves according to His will. So seek Him in praye...

Oftentimes, when we go through struggles, our first instinct is to turn to the people in our lives - a friend, a family member, someone we trust. And while those relationships can bring comfort, they were never meant to replace where we go first. There is Someone who calls us to come to Him in every situation, and His name is Jesus Christ. So today, Pastor Bill encourages you to seek the Word of G...

One of the hardest things for us as followers of Christ is accepting what Jesus wills for our lives. We know He has the power to do anything, to perform miracles, and to give us what we want, yet sometimes He allows us to go through pain, hardship, and storms. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Bill encourages us to pray without ceasing, seeking to align our hearts with God’s will. Not our will...

Every good scientific discovery begins with a question. Does a bowling ball fall faster than a tennis ball? How deep is the Mariana Trench? What determines the traits of a child? Discovery starts with discussion. In today’s message, Pastor Bill encourages you to have a discussion with yourself to discover where your spirit lies. When all is said and done, will you find yourself sitting at the feet...

We become those with whom we spend the most time. That’s why it matters who we let our kids be around, or which coworkers we gravitate towards at work. When we hear constant negativity, we become more negative. However, when conversations are uplifting, we become that way as well. In today’s message, Pastor Bill asks the question, "If you are who you hang out with, does that mean you look lik...

When we were growing up, we were always taught phrases like “actions speak louder than words” or “don’t just talk the talk, but walk the walk.” In a nutshell, these sayings challenge us to put our beliefs into action. In today’s message, Pastor Bill challenges you to do the same exact thing. People will know what you believe by the kind of fruit you produce. Will they see sweet fruits of kindness...

Growing up, my parents always had us kids write out a Christmas list so they knew what we wanted. While it rarely worked, I notoriously put one extremely high-ticket item on there. It never hurts to ask just in case, right? Today, Pastor Bill teaches that when you pray, do it completely out of faith. After all, you’re talking to the God of the universe. No ask is too big, but be okay hearing “No”...

Every year, right around the time the flowers start to bloom, I get nasty colds. And, as much as I’d love for them to never happen again, they’ve taught me a few things. First off, I need to wear a mask when I cut grass to protect my lungs. Second, I need to make sure my car stays clean so pollen doesn’t ruin the paint. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that sometimes sickness leads to lessons, so while...

If I could make people obey my every command, it might be nice. It would put me first in line at the register, my spouse would cover all the chores for me, and my kids would clean their room the first time I ask. But, unfortunately, that’s not how the world works… and honestly, I’m kind of glad. I’d miss out on all the connections and would never see love acted out. Everyone would behave like a ro...
