A Transforming Word

Look at the lives of many movie stars and you quickly know that money does not buy happiness. You can spend your whole life chasing monetary wealth and miss the key to being truly wealthy. As Pastor Bill shares true riches can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. You may find yourself completely broke and bankrupt but if you have Christ, you have all you need. In God’s economy less i...

It’s been said that the best way to counterfeit something is to know the real thing extremely well. Satan knows God…he was created by God and was with Him in heaven. But Satan hates God and His creation…that means you. And as Pastor Bill shares Satan is a counterfeit…he’s a fraud that wants you to believe that he is the real thing. But don’t fall for it. In the tribulation, Satan will pull out all...

We, as Christians, can get judgmental. Sometimes we can judge someone's character or write someone off based on one interaction. To be like this is not only wrong but hypocritical! When we are born, we are born of sin. And without Jesus, we would die of it. The gift that Jesus gives us is grace, and His grace has no exceptions for anyone seeking it. The love of Jesus has no exceptions, so why are...

Worship. You do it every Sunday at your local church. But why do we sing and praise God? The most common misconception about worship is that it’s not only for Sundays but every day. We worship and praise God because we, as Christians, want to be closer to Christ. And when we worship and praise His name, we create an intimate space - an environment where we give God all the honor and glory He deser...

Some people go through phases. They go through a religious phase to find anything BUT God in their journey. They’ll even find “themselves” in their false doctrines. And their focus is always on “me, me, me” and never God - never Jesus Christ. The world seems to have a hard time believing that Jesus came to die for your sins. But today, Pastor Bill tells you that Jesus is the ONLY one. Jesus said,...

The subject of heaven is fascinating. First off: how do we get there? When Jesus died on the cross, He died for our sins. And when we believe in Jesus as our Savior, we are saved through His grace. The next thing you’re probably thinking is, “Now that I’m in heaven, what will I be doing?” In today’s message, Pastor Bill tells us that after we go to heaven, we will continue to worship God. And acco...

Have you ever had cold feet? Sometimes we enter situations we commit to, but due to our nature, we may flake out. We, humans, have trust issues, commitment issues, and a lack of overall faith. But when it comes to God, He is a covenant God. What does that mean? Today, Pastor Bill reminds you that God never backs out of His word. God stays true to everything He promises. And when you put your trust...

Do you remember when you were a kid, and every time you went out with your family, you asked “Where are we going?” And when you’re a kid, almost everything new to you is a mystery. But like our parents, God provides us with the exact information we need - and everything we need to know is in His Word. Today, Pastor Bill speaks from the Book of Revelation and tells you that you need to be heavenly-...

How do you feel about your standing with Jesus? Is it possible that you might not feel “good enough” to have fellowship with Him? Today, Pastor Bill has some great news for you: You’re not! But… Jesus still wants you. Often we can feel so burdened by the stains of our past that we don’t see any way to ever feel clean again. But what we can’t fix, Jesus can! He can purify you; He can perform the ul...

In your life, in your relationships, in your job, and in your hobbies, who do you let inside? Who knows you? Who do you trust? Who do you listen to? Is it your friends? Your spouse? Maybe one of your parents? What about … Jesus? Where is He? Is He on the inside of your life, or is He on the outside? Today, Pastor Bill shares with you the incredible love of Christ, who, even if you have left Him on...

Who doesn’t like to be liked? We ALL would like the approval and affirmation of others. But it’s just a fact of life that there will be someone, or perhaps many, who just won’t approve of you. Today, Pastor Bill talks about a group of believers who weren’t exactly held in high favor by their culture. But they weren’t willing to back down on the truth claims of Jesus, in order to win the satisfacti...

Have you ever felt like an outsider? Perhaps some group at your work, in your neighborhood, or within your extended family has shut you out? Today, Pastor Bill looks at a church in the book of Revelation for which Jesus has only commendation. And Jesus Himself reassures each believer: you may have been kicked out of some earthly group, but He has the key that opens the door to fellowship with God,...

Sometimes it seems as though it’s impossible to get over something - to be an overcomer. We have all heard the phrase, ”Just get over it - be an overcomer.” We all know it’s easier said than done. God says in His Word that we ARE overcomers if we have repented of our sins and believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. But it requires much faith and obedience. Today, Pastor Bill talks about a...

Does God know your works - the kind of life you have lived or are living? He knows all about all of us, and He knows the works of your church and the works of all churches. What do you think of when you hear about the end times and the seven churches talked about in Revelation? In today’s message, Pastor Bill gives an account of the different conditions of our churches, and what they can become, a...

In your walk with Christ, do you consistently check on your faith? Do you ever take a step back and take stock of your standing in God’s kingdom? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to be aware of your standing with God. When you’re not being faithful in your service to Him, your relationship suffers. God has called you to be a light to everyone around you and if you ar...

In your walk with Jesus, have you ever gone through the motions? Have you ever been doing the right things, but for all the wrong reasons? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that works alone will never get you into God’s kingdom, only Jesus will. When you serve the Lord just to check off the boxes, it doesn’t actually further His Kingdom. Instead, it only serves to feed your own del...

When was the last time you repented? Have you ever done something incredibly awful, but felt no reassurance after confessing it to someone? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that if you want to experience escape from your past mistakes, you need to give it all to God. You will never feel released until you let God take all of your burdens. Get out of your own way and let God will c...

As Christians in our legalistic society, it’s easy to do what we want to do while still staying away from sin. We love it when we’re right next to crossing the line, but still remaining pure in the sight of the Lord by not completely crossing it. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to avoid sin with everything you are. There is no such thing as “cutting it close.” Inste...

In our achievement-based society, it’s safe to say that most of us are constantly trying to better ourselves. Whether it’s through therapy, self-help books, or medications, every day we are trying to be better. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to fix yourself like you intend to. The wisdom of the world will always fail you an...

In your faith journey, have you ever felt persecution for what you believe? Have you ever felt pressure to bend your beliefs, even from other Christians? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that if you want to maintain your closeness with God, you need to stay steadfast in His truths. The world will always try to tell you why you’re wrong, but God will come through for you time and t...

As Christians, one of the most difficult trials of our faith is when God tests us. We want to believe that He is working everything for our good, but when times are rough, do we maintain this belief? Or does it drive us away from Him? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that no matter what, you need to trust in God’s process. He is always working everything for your best and the more...

As Christians living in our materialistic world, it’s easy to let God slip away from being our top priority. Whether it’s wealth, possessions, or status, we let the world tell us what to value and forget about God altogether. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to always put God first in everything you do. No matter how important some other pursuit may seem, God will al...

As Christians in our current society, it’s common to mistake God’s grace for a free pass. We let things slide and eventually, find ourselves making the same mistakes as the world. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that showing God’s love to someone isn’t letting them continually live in sin. Yes, it’s essential to be a loving light for God’s glory to the world, but letting someone make the same...

That could be pretty creepy if you think about it! Someone is always watching you. No, thank you! I don’t want someone checking up on me, and watching every time I mess up. In his message today, Pastor Bill will point out that as a believer, it should be comforting that God is watching. God cares about you, and He’s not making a list of your failures. He’s watching out for you. He wants you to suc...

That’s such a challenging question, isn’t it? Are you a good lampstand? Are you making a point in your daily life to let Christ’s light shine through you? In today’s message, Pastor Bill will remind you that there are places you go every day that need the light of Christ. There are people walking in the dark who don’t even know that they are blind. Shine your light. There are people in desperate,...
