A Transforming Word

Many of us have experienced manipulation within the church. Whether the experience involved you directly, or it was something you witnessed, the use of the scripture to manipulate is something that is far too common. In today’s message, Pastor Bill explains that as Christians, someday there will be an account for our sins. If you’re only talking the talk and not walking the walk, you’re missing ou...

Before you even knew how to talk, chances are you knew the difference between right and wrong. We all have a conscience that we choose to listen to or not, and at the end of the day, everyone has a sense of what’s right and wrong. In today’s message, Pastor Bill explains that as Christians, we can’t habitually do what we know is wrong. The more you ignore the habitual sin in your life, the more it...

Have you ever ignored something you knew was good for you and instead built up bitterness and rage toward it? It’s easy to continually push something or someone away, but with that comes baggage. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to lay down your burdens and accept God’s love. He will never stop pursuing you. The more you reject Him, the more you build up resentment, which won’t l...

As Christians, it doesn’t matter how connected you feel with God, all of us are prone to sell out. Maybe it’s something too good to pass up or maybe you feel neglected by God, regardless, it’s a slippery slope that needs to be avoided. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to stay true to who you are in Christ and not sell out. The most important thing you have is your id...

We’ve all had an experience at one time or another of eating something that tastes so bad, we immediately spit it out. There are certain tastes that we dislike so much, it doesn’t matter the circumstance—it’s not going to be consumed. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that being “lukewarm” is the taste that Jesus hates the most. You need to decide for yourself what kind of person you really wan...

When was the last time you felt genuinely happy about something in your life? How long did the feeling last? We find it difficult, if not impossible to be content because society has misconstrued it as “being happy.” In today’s message, Pastor Bill explains what true contentment is and how it’s only through Jesus. He wants us to be content in every aspect of our lives and the only way is to unders...

Most of us can agree that we are always trying to be the best version of ourselves in life. On top of this, no matter how hard we try, we find ourselves often avoiding difficult decisions that need to be made in order to truly mature. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that through Jesus we can find personal betterment in ways that we could never fathom on our own. By following Jesus and his tea...

When we become Christians, we know that Jesus is inside of our hearts, working on us, but do we remember the Holy Spirit? Today in his message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you should feel consumed by the Holy Spirit working through your life. It’s not some magic ghost or a special feeling that you experience, He is the Godhead working in tandem with God to empower your life. Never forget th...

One of the biggest misconceptions about the church is that all Christians are living perfect lives. People assume that they have to either be perfect people or dust themselves off before coming to Christ. Today, Pastor Bill reminds us that God uses anyone and everyone for the furthering of His kingdom. There is nothing that you have to do before coming to Him and the only thing He expects of you i...

When was the last time you truly experienced joy in your life? Even if you consider yourself a happy person, have you ever truly experienced joy in the fullest sense? Today, Pastor Bill explains to us that there is a huge difference between happiness and joy. It’s easy to experience happiness in our lives, but many of us forget what it feels like to experience joy. It’s not just a moment that pass...

Have you ever wondered if your life was meant to be a part of something bigger than just you? We are conditioned to think that things such as jobs, relationships, and acts of kindness are meant to give us value, and yet, we still wonder what the purpose is. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that God has a greater purpose for your life that goes far beyond the value system of the world. God want...

Have you ever been extremely confident in something only to fall flat on your face and let yourself or others down? Even when we are at our absolute best, we’ll never be perfect and can’t rely on ourselves to always deliver. Today, Pastor Mark wants you to know that there is someone who is perfect all the time and will never let you down—Jesus. We have a purpose that goes beyond the everyday rat r...

As Christians, when we go about our day, do we make it a priority to focus on what we’re saying? Even when we know that we need to show love in every word that comes out, it’s easy to let worldly influences alter our speech. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you can’t let up on focusing on what comes out of your mouth. When you let bad things come out, it doesn’t show Christ....

We all have those people in our lives who are always there for us no matter what the situation is. Today, Pastor Bill reminds us that we need to be servants to everyone in our lives. Even when it seems like resting on our laurels will be the best thing for us, this isn’t what God wants from us. If you truly want to find peace in your life and feel energized in who you are, support your friends, lo...

As a Christian, do you know that you aren’t just a Jesus follower—you’re a child of God? He doesn’t view you simply as a religious person who attends church but as His child. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that when you choose to follow Christ, you’re as intimate with Him as a father is to his children. It’s not just a church building or a religion, but instead, a family of brot...

Have you ever done things you know you shouldn’t do but found no one told you to stop? Has it ever felt too easy to do things that you know are wrong continually? Today, Pastor Bill explains that God won’t always step in to change your sinful ways. In fact, God will even allow it to be easy or continue because He knows that you’ll come back to Him. Stay close to God and be disciplined in keeping y...

After we find Christ, He washes us clean, but it can be hard to let go of all the baggage that we were carrying with us. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you shouldn’t feel ashamed of your past mistakes and should use them as a tool to draw you even closer to God. He wants to hear all of your troubles and make you a fresh creation through his free gift of grace. Turn away fro...

As Christians, we know to be careful with what we invest our time into, but do we really steer clear of worldly influences? It’s okay to have friends and interests that aren’t God-centered, but how far can we go before it’s too far? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you can’t flirt with bad influences. The more time you spend on things of this world, the further you fall from...

Most of us have heard the phrase: “you reap what you sow,” but do we take that into consideration for our whole life? Today in his message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to take to heart the consequences of what you choose to invest in. If you invest your time into bad influences and what the world says is important, it will always fail you, but God never will. Secure your place in e...

We all experience mistakes that feel so awful, we just want to hide them all away. It doesn’t matter how good life is treating us or how successful it may seem, difficult times are inevitable for all of us. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to bring your mistakes out into the light. The more you try to shove them under the rug, the worse it all gets. You can’t hide fr...

All glory belongs to God. When you take all the praise for an accomplishment or work that God has done through you, you are robbing God of an opportunity to be recognized for His goodness. Maybe someone who witnessed what you did was right on the brink of accepting Christ as Lord, but because they couldn't see Him through the situation, they carried on with life as usual. In today's message, Pasto...

Have you been blessed with a position of leadership in your life? If you have, are you being the leader God would want you to be?

In today's message, Pastor Bill encourages you to lead how Jesus would lead. With a good leader, people can flourish and grow, an...

We shall reap if we do not lose heart. So often, we begin ministries with good intentions but lose motivation when things don't move along as quickly as we'd hoped. What's the deal with that? If the Bible tells us that steadfastness will produce results, what's keeping us from trusting this promise? In today's message, Pastor Bill hopes to address this issue of our hearts, which, in turn, will hel...

Are you living your life to its absolute fullest today? Do you even realize what it means to do so?

Let's face it, with so many choices, it can be easy to accidentally start neglecting God. Pastor Bill's heart is that you would become aware of t...

God uses all people to fulfill His divine purposes. That's a point that Pastor Bill really wants to drive home in today's message. You can come from any walk of life, from any age range, and God will still be willing to use you for the betterment of His kingdom. But there's a catch here; if you want God to work through your life, you must be willing to listen to what God is asking you to do. He wo...
