A Sure Hope

In the world, we've come to a point where just about anything goes. Whatever it takes to get you top is fin,e as long as you can get away with it. In today's message, Pastor Dave encourages us to honor God in all that we do. When you honor God in your family, in your business, and in your friendships, He'll honor you.

Balancing priorities can be quite the juggling act. Work, Family, Friends, Faith... How do you get it all in? What's at the top of your list? Pastor Dave reminds us in today's message of the importance of putting God first in everything we do. How we're to trust in The Lord with all our heart, and acknowledge Him in all our ways.

Trying something new can end up in frustration when things don't work out the way you envisioned them to. In today's message, Pastor Dave encourages us to not give up when our walk with God becomes more difficult than we expected. Never forget that God is faithful, and He hasn't given up on you.

Do you get discouraged trying to serve God? Do you feel like the world is against you? Pastor Dave reminds us in today's message that nothing can stop God's plan for our lives. No matter how hard life seems at times, God is in control. His promises are always true, and His plans never fail.

How much progress can you make when everybody's just looking out for themselves? In today's message, Pastor Dave challenges us to humble ourselves, and others' needs before our own. Next time you find yourself struggling to put others first, just remember that Christ put you before Himself on the cross.

It's beautiful when we come together with a single goal in mind. Often, the more people there are involved, the more complicated things become, but when God's at the center, great things are sure to follow. In today's message, Pastor Dave reminds us of the unity that we have together in Christ.

Have you ever been confused by what God is called calling you to do? In today’s edition of A Sure Hope, Pastor Dave talks about how we need to step out in faith. We will not always be able to see why God has us in a certain location, but there is a purpose for it. When we follow Him, He will always provide for us.

Everything from God has a purpose, even if we don’t see it. In today’s edition of A Sure Hope, Pastor Dave talks about how sometimes God will call us to suffer. Even in the suffering we will endure, Christ has something for it. God is always working in our lives, and everything we endure has a purpose.

Have you ever been confused about what to do? In today’s edition of A Sure Hope, Pastor Dave talks about how Christ will give us guidance throughout life. When we are in difficult times and are completely lost, if we ask Him for guidance, He will give it to us. He will always provide for us, so place your trust in Him!

God makes a lot of promises in the Bible, will all of them be fulfilled? In today’s edition of A Sure Hope, Pastor Dave talks about the promises of God and His faithfulness. God is completely faithful to us, and all the promises He made will be fulfilled. His promises are true, and all will be fulfilled.

Can you imagine watching a sporting event where one player gets a chance to make the winning score…over and over again? Well, Pastor Dave shares that that is how God is with your salvation. Not only does He want to keep giving chances to win and be saved…He is in the stands cheering you on!

Have you ever had someone say, “I told you so”? Well, Pastor Dave shares that God had many “I told you so” moments with the nation of Israel. But they always seemed to forget what He told them. So you must try not to forget what God has spoken to you…so you don’t stumble as the Israelites did.

Have you ever been to an Escape Room? A place where you are given clues about how to escape the room? Well, Pastor Dave shares that the clue to escaping God’s wrath can be found in repentance. When you turn back to God with a humble heart, He will provide a way of escape from a world of trouble.

So, you need advice…you need wise counsel on an important issue in your life. Where do you go to find answers? The self-help section of your local bookstore? Or just google it, right? Well, Pastor Dave shares that the bible is your one-stop shop to find answers to life’s questions. It’s the living word of God.

Many think that the bible is just another book. But as Pastor Dave shares it’s more than that. It’s the living word of God. It has the power to transform hearts and minds. And when it’s shared, it not only changes you individually it changes whole societies. That’s probably why it’s the best-selling book in the world.

Are you pursuing God with all your heart? If you are, as Pastor Dave said, blessings from God will follow. But if you’re not, then there’s no better time than now to start. And in pursuing and chasing after God you’ll find that He desires to pour out blessings in every aspect of your life.

Most of us have experienced being in a dark time in our life. We try our hardest to pull ourselves out of its clutches, but often we can’t find a way out. Today, Pastor Dave explains that the only way to break free from darkness is to follow Jesus. If you rely on yourself to get out, you’ll never find the serenity you’re looking for.

We cherish our freedom to choose. We love the liberty to make decisions for ourselves and we love to be right, even when it hurts us. Today, Pastor Dave wants you to know that you need to put your faith in Jesus if you want to change the things in your life that you hate. Jesus wants to help you to be the best person you can be.

Doesn’t it feel great to be right? Unfortunately, we all know that this isn’t possible all the time. None of us are perfect and we can’t be right all the time. Today, Pastor Dave explains that you need to stop trying to be perfect and let God lead your life. Put your Faith in God and know that every decision He makes for you is perfect.

Have ever you wondered if you’re truly living out “you’re calling?” Today, Pastor Dave wants you to know that if you want to do what you’re truly meant to do, you need to put your trust in Jesus. Even when you’re doing things that seem perfect and right, you will never know if it’s meant to be your purpose without God.

Are there aspects of your life that are ugly? King Hezekiah understood that we must accept our sin for what it is...SIN. Nothing else. It's only through the shed blood of Jesus that wipes our slates clean...sacrifice. Because HE DID a work within us, we worship. Today Pastor Dave talks about the order of the house of God.

What happened to this place? It's a disaster! I wonder what it looked like before. That place could very well be a picture of my heart. My body. Before accepting Jesus. And now, it's this place where the Lord can live and change my life. King Hezekiah knew that gathering together to praise God was critical as Pastor Dave explains today.

As we learn from Pastor Dave today there were good and bad kings that reigned in Judah. One, in particular, did what he thought was best. He was persuaded by lies and things that were plain wrong. This brought the nation to its knees. Friends, what's taking control of your life? Are you remaining faithful to Jesus?

The saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree doesn't really apply to Uzziah and Jotham, two kings of Judah. Pastor Dave shares with us today that one fell because of pride and one was a great builder and warrior, even though he faltered along the way. Friends, God's unlimited in His capability. Will you trust and obey Him?

Have you ever done a “half-baked” job, and had it backfire on you? It almost seemed like just a waste of time, since the job didn’t get done, right? In today’s message, Pastor Dave compares that to our faith. There’s no such thing as being “sort of” faithful to God! It’s either a full commitment or a waste of time!
