A Transforming Word

If you were to start a team to make a big impact for God, you’d probably want to recruit the smartest and most talented people. In today’s teaching, Pastor Bill shows that the people who came to David were the debtors, the distressed, and the dissatisfied. Not exactly the people you’d want to start a team with. But God often uses the weakest and most despised things of the world to do His will. If...

Have you ever gotten away with a lie? Maybe it was in a job interview, or on your taxes. You may have gotten that job, or a bigger tax refund. In today’s message, Pastor Bill warns you that getting away with a lie leads to a pattern of lying. Since it worked before, you’re tempted to try it again. Soon, you become a habitual liar to get what you want and to get out of what you don’t want. If there...

Think back to a time when God granted you a great victory over a challenging situation. Maybe it was regarding a difficult relationship or a financial struggle.

Have you ever been in a situation that you felt you could only get out of by sinning? Like David, maybe you felt that lying was your best option. In today’s message, Pastor Bill teaches that in any situation, your best option is always to tell the truth and leave the outcome in God’s hands.

As Christians, this is the mindset we need to have while living on earth. We’re just pilgrims passing through, and nothing belongs to us. Everything belongs to God.

King Saul thought that the kingdom was his, even though he knew that God had chosen David to be...

It’s easy to love people who are likable and similar to you. It doesn’t take any supernatural power to love them. However, if you’re part of a church, you probably know people who are difficult to love. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that you can’t love God without loving His people. God doesn’t call you to love just some people. Christians are called to love everyone, especially fellow believers. The...

We all need a friend like Jonathan, and we all need to be a friend like Jonathan. In today’s message, Pastor Bill teaches you that this is what a godly friendship looks like.

In fact, he wanted to support David, and he was willing to risk his life to protect...

Is it ever okay to tell a lie? What if the lie helps save someone’s life?

Have you ever stood up for your faith, even if it cost you something? Maybe it cost you your reputation at work or a friendship. If we’re honest, many of us fear people more than we fear God. Today, Pastor Bill teaches you that if you fear God, you don’t need to fear anyone else. God is above your boss, your teachers, or any world leader. Jonathan risked his life to stand up for David to King Saul...

What’s your first reaction when you see someone else get something that you’ve been desiring? Maybe it’s a job or a spouse that you’ve been asking God for. Do you end up feeling envious of them?

People who are unable to do what you can often prevent you fr...

Lucifer's pride was the only reason he was expelled from heaven. He wanted the glory of God for himself. In our lives, he also acts in the same way.

Today, Pastor Bill discusses how to identify and resist the enemy's intentions. Because God values you so much, Sat...

He takes use of our vulnerabilities to entice us. Can you retaliate? Pastor Bill explains in today's message how you can take on Satan. Distractions from the enemy will constantly come, but you can battle all temp...

We have this habit of blaming others for the mistakes we make. We always make sure to assign responsibility to someone other than ourselves, whether it be at work or even in our personal lives. Pastor Bill shares in today's message how you can start to face your sins. Even if someone causes you to sin, you can ask God for forgiveness for your transgressions, rather than holding that person account...

The path that you pick wil...

Having faith benefits everyone around you as well as yourself. Similarly, you...

He already has a well-thought-out plan in place. Even though His...
