Can you be described as a man of integrity? Would someone say you’re a woman who keeps her word? Honesty and trustworthiness aren’t just about what we say but about actually doing what we say. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that whenever you’ve committed to something, you should keep that commitment, whether it’s something you promised your spouse you’d do or if you promised God you’d give a certain a...

When we talk about working really hard to do something, especially competing in a sport, we often reference giving it 110% or giving it our all. These expressions get the point across, but can we even give our all? Today, Pastor Bill teaches that this is exactly what Jesus asked for, yet many times, we hardly even give Him half. Whenever He asks you to drop it all and follow Him, will you be willi...

There’s a misconception that to be generous, a person has to be wealthy. When people think of generosity, they think of great philanthropists like Oprah Winfrey giving away cars or Mr. Beast giving away millions of dollars. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that true generosity doesn’t come from the number of commas but rather from the heart. So, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Fortune 500 CEO or fortunate...

Everything you have is a gift: the car you drive, the clothes on your back, your spouse, your parents, the food in the fridge… everything. Sure, you may have done the work to keep bacon stocked, but even your ability to work is a gift. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that, while God has blessed you with many great things, Jesus brings the greatest gift of all. He brings a gift that can’t be taken away....

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” This lie is proven false daily. How often have you been hurt by someone’s words? The words you speak have incredible power. In today’s message, Pastor Bill teaches that you can use that power in one of two ways… You can build someone up, or you can break them down. Only one of those actions looks like Jesus. Each time you open yo...

Do you know what the definition of insanity is? Many agree that “insanity” is “repeatedly performing the same action, while expecting a different result to occur.” That’s why, when you think about it, it’s insane to think you can save yourself from sin. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that when you “quit” the same sin every couple of months, it’s not that shocking when you return. However, when you ins...

Have you ever walked into a conversation right as someone was talking about you? If so, hopefully, they were sharing something good instead of spreading rumors! In the message that Pastor Bill has for you today, he teaches that it’s easy to treat God like He’s in another room. However, in your darkest moments and your brightest moments, He will never leave. You may not always feel it, but God will...

As Believers in Christ, we get the opportunity to let our changed lives be a living testimony for God and to other people. Our lives must reflect our changed hearts and what God has done for us and through us! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will remind you of some of the ways you can share and or show people who God is just by living for Him. When you live every day for Christ, you begin to look...

When we surrender to God, we become drastically different in our everyday way of life. More often than not, our friends, family, and coworkers don’t always share that same moment of life-changing freedom. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will share some of his own struggles with those confusing times in his relationships. Maybe you’ve experienced this, or maybe you’re walking through this right now...

Monday April 7, 2025 07.04.2025

Just like parents instructing and guiding their kids as they grow up, Jesus also instructs and guides us like a parent would! We can read in the Bible that God is our Heavenly Father and we are His sons and daughters. We have a deep relationship with Him through that connection! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to look to God for Fatherly advice and loving guidance. Whether you h...

I think it is safe to say that we have all had bad experiences with relationships. Whether it’s family, a bad friend, or even people at work or the church, we all have battled with some sort of relationship struggles. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will share how when we read the Bible, it can put our situations into perspective. You may be worried about those seemingly giant mountains of problem...

Thursday April 3, 2025 03.04.2025

Being Christians, we’re called to serve; Whether that is as our profession or just volunteering at church, we are called to serve others as Jesus served others! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will show you how there is nothing more rewarding and meaningful than devoting your time and talents to working for and with the Lord! Sacrifice your time and effort to see His kingdom come will always be wo...

If you're a follower of Jesus, then you're called to the ministry of reconciliation. In today's teaching, Pastor Bill challenges you to take up the mantle and devote yourself to this ministry that God's called you to. So many people need to be reconciled to the Lord. You can help by praying for those who don't know Jesus. Ask God to put people in your life that you can minister to. Have the courag...

Are you living for the Lord? Today in his message, Pastor Bill paints a picture of what it looks like to live for God. Living for God means that your life is no longer your own. You are not your highest priority anymore. You have a higher calling and purpose that you are living for. This looks like considering what the Lord wants you to do in a situation and not only thinking about what you want....

Think about where the Lord has brought you from. Maybe you were battling addiction, or lust, or struggles with your identity. You've now found freedom and healing in life with Jesus. But Pastor Bill warns you in today's teaching not to look down on others who are wrestling with the sins of your past. There can be a tendency to do that once you are on the other side. Don't go down that path. The Lo...

Have you ever wondered what life in heaven will be like? Today, Pastor Bill explains in his message that we will experience the presence of the Lord like never before. That will be the most incredible thing about heaven! You will be with Jesus, forever. You'll be with the One who made you, loves you, and died to save you. This is the wonderful future that awaits the Christ follower. If you haven't...

Thursday March 27, 2025 27.03.2025

Are you looking forward to heaven? In today's teaching, Pastor Bill talks about the incredible glory that awaits you in eternity if you are a follower of Jesus. This should excite you! In Christ, you have a future and a hope that is greater than anything you can imagine. This should change the way that you live your life. It should change your focus from being on the temporary things of this world...

Wednesday March 26, 2025 26.03.2025

Consider your wealth and earthly possessions. You can't take these things with you when you die. Today in his teaching, Pastor Bill urges you not to become so concerned about your earthly treasure that you forget to invest in your heavenly treasure. The things of this world do not compare to the glory of heaven and eternity in God's presence. Be more concerned about building the Kingdom of Heaven...

Tuesday March 25, 2025 25.03.2025

What do you need to crucify in your life today? Maybe it's an addiction, an attitude, or an idol. In today's teaching, Pastor Bill encourages you to put it to death. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today. There's so much that God wants to do in and through you but this thing needs to go to make room for all God has for you. It's going to be painful-- it's going to hurt to let this thing go. But you k...

If you are a follower of Jesus, you are to be His bondservant. This means that you are in service, to the Lord. HE is at the center-- not you, not your pastor, not your favorite worship artist. JESUS. Pastor Bill explains in today's message that real work of the Holy Spirit will always draw your attention to Jesus. Not to a person. He is the only one worthy-- the only one who can save. Your job as...

Think of a time when you felt unappreciated. Not a good feeling, right? But today, in his message, Pastor Bill encourages you not to lose heart when it seems like your ministry efforts go unnoticed. The truth is that everything you do is seen by the One who matters the most. The Lord doesn't miss a thing. He sees it all. He knows your heart. When you do everything unto the Lord, it doesn't matter...

Thursday March 20, 2025 20.03.2025

Which person are you? Are you someone who's been set free or someone who's looking for freedom? Pastor Bill urges you in today's teaching to connect with someone on the other side. If you've been set free, minister and help someone who is struggling. If you're in bondage, seek out help from someone who's made it to the other side. Jesus is the Great Liberator. There is freedom for those who walk w...

Is that you? Are you afraid to be bold? In today's message, Pastor Bill challenges you to step out courageously and share your faith with others. Many people let their fear of what others may think keep them from talking about Jesus. If that's you, it's time to quit hiding. The judgment you fear from them is nothing compared to the judgment they will receive from God on Judgment Day if they don't...

Tuesday March 18, 2025 18.03.2025

Are you tired of trying to do it ALL? Today, in his teaching, Pastor Bill encourages you to acknowledge your need for the Lord. You don't have to strive for perfection. You don't have to be 'good enough. ' There is nothing you can do to earn your salvation. The only one 'good enough' already earned it for you. Jesus is the only perfectly righteous One. He died on the cross to pay the debt you owed...

Monday March 17, 2025 17.03.2025

So, what have you done with Jesus? If you were to die today, what would your answer to that question be? Pastor Bill explains in today's teaching that the only thing up for discussion on judgment day is what you do with Jesus. You don't get a do-over. No second chance. That's it. Your eternity rests on that one question. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior, let today be the day because yo...
