Worship Life Today

The more we listen to the media, the more we realize how corrupt the world can be. Commentators often create problems that don't fully exist and then spend hours discussing them. This leads to envy, slander, suspicions, and strife. Today, Pastor Holland suggests the primary cause of this is greed. Many are obsessed with money, putting wealth over their relationship with God. While there is nothing...

What causes the desensitization in our culture that allows for the murder of innocent babies? Today, Pastor Holland states that the lack of godly men in leadership has led to this shameful situation in our nation. When Solomon reflected on his upbringing, he recalled that his father, David, encouraged him to seek wisdom and understanding from God. It’s important to remember that knowledge is not t...

Imagine standing in a courtroom. The charges against you are undeniable, and the evidence is stacked high. Just when all hope seems lost, your advocate steps forward; not to deny your guilt, but to take your place. Because you have put your faith in Jesus Christ, you are declared not guilty. God loves you so much that He sent His only Son to bear the punishment you deserved so that through Him, yo...

This prophetic word from David speaks to the momentous cost that God would pay in Jesus. This was His only begotten Son. We are God’s dearly loved children in the sense that we are His redeemed Creation, but Jesus was a part of God from before time existed. He was not created ; He existed as the same being with His Father. As Pastor Holland will point out in today’s message, to send Jesus in the h...

Have you witnessed a fellow believer acting crazy and claiming it was the Holy Spirit? Or perhaps you’ve felt pressure from within to do something that just didn’t make sense, but you were sure it was the Holy Spirit directing you? As Pastor Holland will remind us in today’s message, God’s ways are mysterious, and we won’t always understand the way He leads. It is important to test the Spirit, tho...

You and I enjoy the benefits of a similar, but much more profound and eternal arrangement. As Pastor Holland will point out in today’s message, just as David’s covenant with Jonathon secured the safety of his son Mephibosheth, we have been spared judgment because of the covenant God made on our behalf. It’s nothing of our own merit, nothing we earned or can even maintain. The covenant that locks i...

We don’t deal in covenants as much as we used to. The wording and cultural understanding of covenants in the time of the prophet Samuel and the era written about in his second book would have been commonplace. As Pastor Holland will explain today, breaking a covenant doesn’t end the covenant. The covenant and the relationship it defines continue, but in a broken state . In the covenant God establi...

Fear can paralyze you, like a soldier hiding from battle when priorities falter. In today’s message, Pastor Holland unveils how neglecting God’s kingdom, as seen in Scripture, led people to retreat in fear. You might know folks gripped by an anxiety over pain, disease, loss, ultimately fearing death itself. As a Christian, death isn’t the end, but a doorway to greater life with Christ. Your faith...

God’s place in your life is like the sun; not just first but the only light that matters. In today’s message, Pastor Holland explains how you’re called to make God’s kingdom your sole priority, not just one among many. He doesn’t want to be just your top choice; He wants to be your only focus. Putting His kingdom first means everything else fades in comparison. He’s not a checkbox on your list, bu...

God’s invitation is like an open door, welcoming all who choose to walk through. In today’s message, Pastor Holland unveils how some falsely claim that God picks a few for heaven and others for destruction. Yet, God desires everyone to live, offering salvation to whosoever will receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Only those who accept Him as King will find eternal life; those who reject Him fa...

Your faith is like gold refined in fire, strengthened through life’s trials. In today’s message, Pastor Holland reveals how Jesus assures you that tribulation will come, but that you can take heart, because He has overcome the world. His Spirit in you is greater than any challenge you could ever face. Unlike the world, you have hope, confidence, and security in knowing that God will carry you thro...

As folks gather around to watch a magician weave his enchanting tricks, they become so captivated that they completely lose sight of the fact that it’s all just a clever dance of illusion and deception. In a similar vein, the Bible shares that the Antichrist and the false teacher will perform miracles to mislead folks across the globe. Today, Pastor Holland has a friendly reminder for you: keep yo...

The book of Revelation hints that wars will be one of the telltale signs as we approach the end times. We’re witnessing that play out with the current tensions between Russia and Ukraine. But have you ever wondered what's fueling all this violence in Russia? In today’s message, Pastor Holland shares insights on how the spirit of Antichrist is already at work in the world. He's getting the...

The sheep seem to lack their own perspective. They always follow wherever the shepherd leads them. Their ears perk up, and they eagerly listen to the call of the shepherd. We're a bit like those sheep, you know? But sometimes, rather than genuinely tuning in to hear God's voice, we find ourselves making guesses about what He might be saying. That's when everything starts to go awry. To...

It's interesting to think about how both Saul and David had their flaws, right? They stumbled over their weaknesses and definitely bent the rules along the way. But have you ever thought about why David's sin was forgiven while Saul's wasn't? Today, Pastor Holland emphasizes that having a strong faith in God is essential for every believer. David shared a deep connection with God,...

David was facing the death penalty for the sin he had committed. But do you wonder why he was saved? The sole reason God chose to spare David's life was that David formed a lasting covenant with Him. Today, Pastor Holland shares the story of how David's faith blossomed into a beautiful covenant with God. Thanks to that covenant, God chose to overlook David’s missteps. When you welcome Jesu...

Mephibosheth found himself in a tough spot, feeling a bit lost due to his situation. As soon as he caught wind that the king was summoning him, a wave of fear washed over him, and he couldn't shake the feeling that his life was on the line. So, guess what saved him? Being Jonathan's son really made a difference in keeping him safe. In today’s message, Pastor Holland emphasizes that saving yourself...

Have you ever thought about what it might be like to experience life as someone with a disability? It feels as if all your power has been taken away. They often feel a bit shy when surrounded by others due to their perceived shortcomings. Isn’t that just what sin does to each one of us? It adds a touch of shame and a hint of weakness to your journey. Hey, do you have any idea where to find healing...

Isn’t it true that the best way to thrive in a company is by faithfully taking on the tasks assigned to you and getting them done on time? But have you ever thought about the fact that the same goes for your spiritual life, too? In today’s message, Pastor Holland invites you to stay true to the unique purpose God has for your life. God wants you to serve Him with a sincere heart. He desires you'll...

It's funny how we tend to fall into a pattern of splurging on the top-notch gear out there. Even if those high-end iPhone models aren't your thing, you still want to carry the best in your pocket, don't you? But you know, God has His own unique way of doing things. In today’s message, Pastor Holland shares insights on how God weaves His goodness and blessings into your life. He begins with the lit...

Have you ever thought about how the Israelites managed to come out on top in battles, even when everything seemed to be against them? Their success was all thanks to the blessings they received from above. So, think about it: whenever you dive into something, be it a business venture or a job, how often do you think to invite God along for the ride as a partner? In today’s message, Pastor Holland...

I’m sure you know someone in that place of spiritual blindness, maybe dozens of people if you think about it. When Jesus has revealed Himself to you, it can be hard to understand how they can’t see what you see, but that’s part of the sinful nature. In today’s message, we’ll be reminded of the urgency of sharing the Good News with the lost around us. Jesus will return, and those who have rejected...

We know that God’s word to the Israelites predicting their falling away would come true. But, as Pastor Holland will point out, none of us like to think about failing . Especially in a high moment – like taking the land that God’s promised, or immediately after accepting Jesus as our Savior. The fact is, all of us will fall back into sin in some form. The consequences may not be as severe as what...

If your home is like most, that likely doesn’t sound like the atmosphere you live in on a daily basis. Our lives are so busy, and when we do have downtime, many of us are immediately on our phones, turning on the TV, or finding some other way to keep our minds from being bored. It takes intentionality, but as Pastor Holland will challenge us in today’s message, surrounding ourselves with reminders...
