A Transforming Word

Ever wonder what you can hold onto when life falls apart? Today, Pastor Bill highlights Job’s powerful claim: despite losing everything, he remained a righteous man. His wealth, health, and family vanished, yet his integrity stood firm. No one can take your right standing before God; that’s between you and Him. Your righteous life, your character before God, remains untouchable. You control your i...

Ever felt so overwhelmed you just wanted to give up? In today’s message, Pastor Bill reflects on a moment of Job’s despair, where a cry to God revealed a crucial truth. Even in his lowest moments, he knew his life was still in God’s hands, not his own. God’s the one who holds your own life as well, guiding your path through every trial. Taking control might feel tempting, but it’s not the answer....

Today, Pastor Bill reflects on Job’s frustration, a righteous man wrestling with defeat, destruction, loss, and tragedy. He faced battles where the wicked seemed to win, and his friend’s harsh words only deepened his doubts instead of lifting him up.   It’s a reminder to be mindful of how you speak to others in their struggles. Words can tear down just as much as they can build up, and God calls y...

Ever catch yourself jumping to conclusions about someone’s actions? In today’s message, Pastor Bill shares a powerful call to fill in the blanks of others’ lives with graciousness. Scripture urges you to love by believing the best about people until proven otherwise. Instead of assuming the worst, choose grace. Err on the side of kindness, expecting the best from others. God can shape your heart t...

Ever wonder why bad things happen to good people? Today, Pastor Bill tackles the mystery of life’s hardships, like Job’s trials or a believer’s car crash. We don’t always know why things happen; since God could prevent them, but sometimes He doesn’t. What matters is not being the friend who points fingers, questioning someone’s faith or choices. Instead of assuming or suggesting reasons for their...

Do you want to know what God's will is for your life? Do you want to make sure that what you think and say about Him is true? The answer is simple. Pray. Read God's Word. Know Him more every day. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to look to God for all the answers to the questions you have in life. You have all the resources you need to get through anything you face if you look to God for the...

Just because bad things happen to you, it doesn't mean it's because you were in sin. It could be the devil trying to get you to curse God. Today, you'll get to hear from Pastor Bill that you need to continue to keep your eyes on God through the bad times. God is your best help you can have to get through them. When someone else goes through their own trials, remember to point them t...

Everyone goes through their own seasons of life at their own pace. Sometimes, those seasons are joyful and a time for celebration and praise. Other times, someone you know might need you in their lives to support them through their trials. As Pastor Bill will reveal in today's message, sometimes the best thing is not to say anything. Sometimes, you just need to be there for that person. Don&a...

God has good things planned to come out of everything that happens to you. It might be hard to see any good while you're going through it, but God can turn it around. What's important is that you don't turn your back on God or start to doubt Him. Today, Pastor Bill will talk about how Job had everything that was taken from him restored in the end. Even if he didn't, he still ha...

Life can throw some curveballs that leave you hopeless. Hard times will come eventually. For Job, those hard times came all at once. In one day, he lost everything he had. He even cursed the day he was born because he wished he had never gone through what happened to him. In today's message, Pastor Bill will show you that Job never cursed God, no matter how hard it got. Job remembered where h...

Nothing can compare to what God can be for you. He'll give you strength or courage when you need it. He'll provide anything you need to go up against anything He's called you to. Today, Pastor Bill will show you that sometimes you'll need God's help. Satan's attacks can come relentlessly, but they still don't match God's power. If you turn your back on God,...

The most important moment of your life is when you finally give your heart to Jesus and follow Him. But that doesn't mean that you still won't go through hard times. Oftentimes, as Pastor Bill will point out in today's message, Satan will attack you with anything he can that will get you to question God's love. He wants you to be angry at God. No matter what comes, you can stil...

The Devil isn't afraid to use anything in his bag of tricks to deceive you. He'll try to get you angry at God. He'll lie to you about God. He'll dangle temptation in front of you. He'll even strike you with difficult times. Sometimes they could be tragic. In today's message, Pastor Bill will explain how Satan can't truly make you turn your back on God. He just tr...

Satan is always on the lookout for someone he thinks he can lead away from God. He'll use everything he can to get you angry at God or to cause you to sin. In today's message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that no matter what Satan causes to go awry in your life, you have a hope for eternity through salvation from your sins. Job remembered God's promises when Satan took everything h...

Don't blame God when Satan comes along and makes your life difficult. Satan may even make you miserable. But it's not God. It's Satan. He'll do whatever he can to get you to curse God or turn your back on God, just like he did with Job. Today, Pastor Bill will encourage you that God won't let any temptation come over you that's so strong you can't stand up agains...

Satan has dominion over the world. It may only be for a time, until he's cast into hell with the demons and anyone who chose to follow him, but he has influence over the world today. As evil increases and sinfulness becomes more and more common, don't forget whose fault that is. Today, Pastor Bill will show you an example from Job of how Satan has a hand in what happens on the earth. You...

What is the single most valuable thing in your life? For the most shallow of us, we might answer, “My house, or my 401k.” Others might be a bit more spiritual and say, “My family.” While there’s nothing wrong with either of those answers, those aren’t the most valuable things in your life. The single most valuable thing you have in your life is time…the time God has given you on this earth. So, th...

For some of us, remembering where we came from before we were rescued by Jesus can be a hard exercise. I know for me it is. I lived as a drug addict for many years…miles away from God, not caring about myself or any of the people around me…hopelessly bound in sin. And yet, THAT…THAT awful place…THAT is where Jesus stepped into my life and everything changed. How about you? What’s your story of red...

We’ve all heard the question before, “When was the last time you saw a U-Haul following behind a hearse?” People make this joke to point out an eternal reality, though. Many times, we live as though this life is the only thing. We amass wealth with little regard for the people in need around us. We think that all our wealth is going to somehow magically go with us when we die, thus the U-Haul ques...

Imagine if your life were ONLY filled with God’s blessings? Now, you might think, “That would be amazing!” But, now stop and ask yourself how you would change…meaning, how would you ever know the ways that you ARE NOT pleasing God in your life? The reality is that you wouldn’t. Pastor Bill will remind us today that the blessings of God many times come from our decisions to obey Him. And when we DO...

There’s no denying it ; there’s a direct correlation to the blessing of God and our decisions to obey Him. Now, does that mean that ALL of our blessings and ALL of God’s goodness in our lives is earned by our obedience? Definitely not! There are example after example of God’s COMPLETE, UNMERITED favor and blessing in our lives. But we can’t ignore that obedience is also a pathway for blessing in t...

What a beautiful picture Pastor Bill just painted! Who knew that the laws in the book of Leviticus could speak so plainly to our spiritual condition as slaves to sin!?!?!? And yet, they do! You’ll learn today that YOU were once in complete bondage and slavery to sin. But, God! But God intervened in your life and extended His grace so that you could confess and repent, receiving the free gift of sa...

What Pastor Bill was just describing is the Biblical concept of usury. And if you were listening carefully, you could probably hear commonalities in almost all of the spaces of our modern financial systems. What happens if you don’t pay off the FULL balance of your credit card statement each month? You’re going to pay a HEFTY amount of interest. Pastor Bill explains that this SHOULD NOT be the pra...

As we’ve been making our way through the twenty-fifth chapter of Leviticus, we can see that God has special protections and provisions for the Levitical tribe. Why is that? Well, the Levites were the family that God called to conduct the worship of God in His temple. So, naturally, God implemented protections and provisions so that they could focus on their calling and ministry. Today, we’ll see t...

The idea of taking every seventh day off from work is a completely foreign idea for most people. And then when we talk about the Jubilee Year, where God commanded people to take an ENTIRE YEAR OFF!?!?!?!? This sounds preposterous!!! And yet we know that Jesus encouraged His followers to obey the Sabbath command. Remember, Jesus said that the Sabbath was made for YOU…not you for “it”. Today you’ll...
