A Transforming Word

Have you avoided sharing the Gospel because it feels awkward? In today's teaching, Pastor Bill tells you to get over it! This is a life-or-death situation. It may feel uncomfortable to you to initiate a spiritual conversation but it is not more uncomfortable than the hell that awaits the person who doesn't know Jesus. Stop waiting for the right moment, the right vibe, the right opportunity-- it wi...

If you're still breathing, then your story isn't over. God isn't done with you yet. Let this truth be a comfort to you as you endure hardship. Today in his message, Pastor Bill shares how time has given him a clearer perspective on how God was working through the challenges he was facing. If you know and love Jesus then you can trust- no matter what you are going through, that God is with you and...

Aren't you thankful that God doesn't just forgive you a little bit-- that Jesus didn't just pay for part of your sins? In today's teaching, Pastor Bill explains that in the same way that the Lord fully forgives you, forgive others. This means receiving them back into the fold, not holding their past mistakes against them. God doesn't guilt trip you for your sins or keep you at arm's length. He emb...

Going to the gym won't drastically improve your health if you're still eating Big Macs every day. In the same way, Pastor Bills explains in his message how this is like coming to church each week with no intention of changing your ways for God. It's not enough to just show up to the right place. You have to put in the work to grow in your relationship with God. If you want to deepen your faith, yo...

Gathering at church is similar to a sports team huddle. It's a short period of time each week where you regroup with other believers. In today's teaching, Pastor Bill explains that church is a place for you to touch base and be refreshed but that the real work of the ministry happens 'out there'-- in the world. The gathering of the saints is extremely important, don't neglect it. But also don't ne...

When you gossip and speak poorly of other people it kills your witness for the Gospel. You'll hear Pastor Bill explain in today's message that the Church should be a shining light to the world. Christians should reflect Jesus. Would Jesus turn around behind His friends' backs and gossip about them? Of course not! So neither should you. If you have a problem with someone, address it face to face. H...

How about your conscience? Today in his teaching, Pastor Bill asks if yours is clear before God. You'll hear about the accusations against the Apostle Paul that were made by the Corinthian Church. Paul was able to stand strong against these because his conscience was clear. He knew that their accusations were unfounded and that his intentions were pure because he was following the leading of the H...

God didn't promise that once you put your faith in Jesus all your problems will disappear. Pastor Bill explains in today's teaching that instead of taking away all of your suffering, God meets you IN it. There are many examples throughout the Bible of people who suffered greatly while being used by God. There is no better example than Jesus, God in the flesh! God is no stranger to suffering. As yo...

Have you ever pictured God that way-- as someone who is waiting for you to mess up so that He can punish you? Today Pastor Bill challenges that belief by revealing what the Bible says about God's character. God is NOT waiting to get you. Repentance doesn't come from fear, it's a response to His mercy and His goodness. When you examine the Scriptures you find that God is kind. You discover that the...

Have you been guilty of putting people on a pedestal? Maybe it's your pastor, your favorite celebrity, or your spouse. In today's message, Pastor Bill warns you not to put anyone in the place of Jesus. He is the big deal. He is the person you should build your life around. No one else died for your sins. No one else will be there for you twenty-four-seven. In a world that is full of distractions,...

There are two destinations for eternity when your life on earth is over. God's wrath is going to be poured out on all those who rejected Him during their lives when it's time for the end times to come. But, for all those who chose Jesus and put their faith in Him, their sins will be washed away as if they never happened. What happens to you, as Pastor Bill's going to make clear in today's message,...

When Jesus comes back, the sheep are going to be separated from the goats. Those who rejected Him during their earthly lives are going to spend eternity in their spiritual lives in pain in the lake of fire that's reserved for them. But, as Pastor Bill's going to show you in today's message, there's hope for those who put their trust in Jesus during their earthly lives. They'll get to spend eternit...

Culture doesn't change the truth of God's Word. No matter what the world says about the Bible, it will always hold true in its historical accuracy and prophecies. Today, Pastor Bill is going to remind you that all the things the Bible prophesies about Jesus coming back and restoring those who put their faith in Him will eventually come to pass. If your faith is in Jesus and His sacrifice for the f...

Someday, Jesus is going to come back for His church. There's going to be more and more evil prevalent in the world. As the nations rise against Israel and the world turns against those who trust in Jesus for salvation, there's always hope you can find in Christ. In Him alone is eternal life through the forgiveness of your sins. Pastor Bill's going to encourage you today that you don't have to fear...

The Good Shepherd, Jesus, showed compassion to everyone. His flock is blessed when they follow the commandments in God's Word and face the negative consequences when they rebel against It. Today, Pastor Bill is going to warn you to look out for bad shepherds who say they follow Jesus but don't have His ways in their hearts. They might try to make money from Christians. They might lead them down pa...

Today, Pastor Bill will explain how Jesus is the ultimate example of how you should live, especially when the world offers so many alternatives today. Jesus never sold anything to people for them to be forgiven or more blessed. He gave. H...

God hears you when you pray. No matter what you're going through, you can bring it before Him to be sorted out. If you need strength or courage to get through something difficult you're going to go through, you can find it in Him. Maybe you need financial help to get through another month. Give it to God. As Pastor Bill's going to show you today, there's no limit to God's power and mercy. Sometime...

God's promises will come to pass. When you face temptation in your life, or if you need guidance, or if you need strength to face something difficult, bring it before God. Pastor Bill has a list of promises to show you today about how God will bless those who seek Him over the wisdom and pleasures that the world promises will meet your needs. In God, you have the ultimate Source of everything. The...

All of the Bible is true. Even secular accounts of historical events recorded in the Scriptures back up what's written in God's Word. Today, Pastor Bill is going to compare God's Word with real-life events of today and throughout history to prove to you that you can depend on what's written in God's Word. You'll get to see the prophecies of Jesus' second coming, and how it's going to be a glorious...

Jesus Christ is going to come back one day. When that day comes, it will be a day of reconning. All those who rejected God will reap the consequences of their choices, and it will be horrible and painful. But, Pastor Bill is going to show you what it looks like for the Christian on that day. All your past mistakes and sins will be thrown away like they never existed. Everything bad you've done wil...

This world is broken and often can bring negative emotions to our minds. Today, Pastor Bill says it’s not good for us to linger on negative emotions. God’s redeemed all that’s broken in this world. He wants you to sit in confidence, knowing He’s in control. If you can find joy in the low moments of life, it’ll be easier to find joy in the high moments of life. God’s reaching for you and wants you...

He desires a relationship with everyone, and you can’t take credit for yo...

Forgiveness is a really hard thing to come by. It’s often easier to stay upset than to fully forgive someone. In today’s message, Pastor Bill says we must forgive because there’s no place for unforgiveness when we are in a relationship with the Lord. God wants you to forgive because He forgave you. He sent His Son as a sacrifice for all the sins you have and will commit. You can forgive because He...

It’s easy to do something for the wrong reasons. Today, Pastor Bill says sometimes we can say we’re doing something for God when our motive isn’t right. You need to check your heart. When you say “I’m doing this for God” make sure you’re doing it all for His glory and not your own. In Psalm 139 the prayer says, “Search me, oh God, and know my heart.” That’s a prayer you need to pray every day, tha...

Have you ever been to a place where it feels like there’s no way out? Maybe it’s a fork in the road or a work assignment that felt like you couldn’t figure out.

With Jesus, you’re promised eternal life through His death and resurrect...
