A Sure Hope

When you read the word of God, does it change you? God’s word is sharper than any two-edged sword and is meant to cut into our souls, refining us with its conviction and comfort.

Have you ever noticed the tendency to pray more in times of need? Some of the most groundbreaking work in your spiritual life is during trials. They make you cling to God and His word.

Does it ever seem like the enemy just won’t let up? The truth is that the enemy doesn’t want God to use you.

God wants to do great things through you. God called Nehemiah to do great things, but as you’ll see, the enemy will always try to stop God’s plan.

Do you know what God is calling you to do? God has a purpose for your life that you can walk in, every day.

We've all been in situations where the enemy is constantly trying to bring us down in any way he can. We try to handle the situation on our own but are unsuccessful.

We've all found ourselves in a position of discouragement. Whether at work or in our families. The enemy is always trying to discourage us in order to get us to give up.

As Christians, it’s easy to forget the magnitude of who Jesus should be in our lives. In today’s message, Pastor Dave wants you to know that Jesus sacrificed Himself in order to save you from your mistakes. Similarly, you need to offer your life to Him by giving Him your all.

As a follower of Christ, when was the last time you truly stepped out in faith? Sinking into a routine and feeling like you’re in control of it all is easy.

In today's message, Pastor Dave tells you how faith in Jesus is your shield against the enemy's plans for your life AND your ability to get through each day.

We do indeed pray to God for many things. Perhaps it's for something you want or for a specific person. However, we have a tendency to expect a quick response to our prayers. Pastor Dave tells you how God has a plan for everything in your life in today's message. All you have to do is put your faith in Him and be patient.

Pastor Dave tells you today how you can put your faith in Jesus with confidence. He has the ability to make any worldly impossible situation possible.

In a fasting season, we put our worshipful spirit's needs over our fleshly desires. Nehemiah knew this very well and instead of being anxious, he fed his spirit and sought after God. Pastor Dave challenges us to provide our spirit in times of need instead of worrying about our flesh. What could be accomplished if you fed your spirit today?

Did you know that salvation in Christ it's the end goal for a Christian? God has so much more for his children than just surviving! Pastor Dave encourages us that being saved is just the tip of the beautiful iceberg! The Israelites in the time of Nehemiah struggled to see that victory. God wants so much more for you today and forever!

Unequally yoked. Not a term we use every day, but the Israelites during the time of Ezra paint a perfect picture of becoming numb to the glory of God and settling for the world's pleasures. Pastor Dave challenges us to take this Old Testament story to heart and challenge the relationships we keep. Today, are you unequally yoked?

One of the best interjections in our faith is the two words “...but God.” No matter how bad we think our sin might be He is there to pour out his grace and mercy – “but God”. Pastor Dave, mentions this same redemption in the story of Ezra as he caught the people of Israel in their own disobedience against God. Today, don't let the setbacks keep you away from a God ready to set you free!

It's like trying to have one foot in the boat and one on the shore.... it just doesn't work. Eventually, you're gonna end up a soggy mess.

No matter what you've been through, we often come to a point of forgetfulness. This is when you need to take a step back, and reflect. Pastor Dave reminds us in today's message to take the time to count our blessings. To look and see the grace of God in our lives. When you do that, it renews your entire perspective on life.

If you're more “advanced in years” you're well aware that old things wear out. The older you get, the less you can do, and the more worn out you feel. Pastor Dave reminds us today that God's in the restoration business. He takes old things and makes them new. He's the restorer of souls.

Think of a small child hiking a trail with their dad. Even if the path is unknown to the child, and their legs get tired and they can't go any further on their own.... they know they can trust their dad to carry them to the end. Pastor Dave reminds us today that our God will be faithful to complete what He started in us.

We all have our comfort zone. Maybe you like to stick to your daily routine, minding your own business and not venturing off the beaten path. But what do you do when God calls you to something outside of that? In today's message, Pastor Dave encourages us to trust God no matter how much it stretches us.

Can a wrench fix a car on its own? Can a hammer build a house on its own? No, but in the right hands, they can! In today's message, Pastor Dave reminds us that on our own we can't accomplish anything for the Kingdom of God. It's in the hands of our maker and by the power of the Holy Spirit that we become effective.
