A Transforming Word

As Christians, it's our job to make sure that all glory and honor go to God. You may ask yourself: "Well, why can't I get recognition for once?" God's answer is simple, and Pastor Bill acknowledged it as he spoke; we can't receive the glory and honor because we aren't God, and it's impossible for us to ever match the magnitude of His power and deity. When we think we can reach that level, we begin...

Are you struggling with your identity? Are you stuck in a rut and don’t know what to do to turn things around? In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that like Saul in the Bible, God wants to make you into a new creation. If you’re yearning for real change in your life, the only way is through Him. The wisdom of self-help books and podcasts is fleeting and will never inspire the differe...

As Christians, we know the sacrifice that Jesus made to save us, but do we actually live it out in our daily lives? Today in his message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to sacrifice yourself for Jesus the same way that he died for you. He gave all of himself so that you might be set free and He is expecting nothing less from you. If you’re a believer and living your life chalked full...

When we decide to follow Jesus, it’s easy to grow weary in our prayer life. Whether it’s feeling like our prayers go unanswered or that it’s redundant because He knows all things, oftentimes we don’t stay committed to prayer. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that God is beckoning you to be in communion with Him through prayer. It doesn’t matter how distant you feel, God is always listening and...

As Christians, when we’re going through our toughest battles, we know we can seek the help of the Lord and He fights for us, but when the script is flipped do we fight for Him? Today in his message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to stand up for God in the same way that He never backs down for you. When you choose to let God lead your life it can’t be a one-way street. He is calling y...

In your walk with the Lord have you ever lost the vigor to work for His kingdom? Are you in a place in your life where you love Jesus but you feel stagnant? Today in his message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that you need to find the fire in your faith and be active for God’s kingdom. You are saved by His gift of grace but that doesn’t give you a free pass to let God do all the work for you. If y...

Some of us are born with beautiful voices and some of us just don’t have the same gifting. Singing aloud for others to hear can be daunting and even if we have the pipes, we still choose to keep our mouth shut. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that God loves it when His children sing His praises. It doesn’t matter what you’re singing voice sounds like or if you have stage-fright, God wants to...

As Christians in our current society, it’s safe to say that most of us have relationships with those who don’t have Jesus in their life. Today, Pastor Bill wants you to know that it’s important to be a witness to those who don’t yet know Him, but God is expecting you to center your relationships around Him. The closer you get to those that don’t follow Him, the further you fall from God’s presence...

As Christians, we all have sin in our life that presents itself time and time again. Often times when it comes back to bite us, we choose to hide from God. In today’s message, Pastor Bill wants you to know that no matter where you’re at in your sin or how many times you’ve asked for God’s deliverance from it, He wants you to call upon His name. You don’t have to dust yourself off or try to fix thi...

As Christians, for many of us, when difficulties present themselves, we don’t go to God right away. We love to solve our issues on our own and don’t let God in until it’s too late. Today, Pastor Bill explains that you need to let God lead you out of the storm and give it all to Him. The more you try to fix things on your own, the worse it gets. Stop hiding from God and lose the chains that are hol...

As Christians, we know we’re supposed to read God’s Word, but do we approach it intentionally? Do you view the Bible as a living organism, breathing God’s breath into your life? Or is it just a guidebook full of suggestions? Pastor Bill explains that God is beckoning you to draw closer to Him through His Word. Use your time in the Bible to speak to God and let Him genuinely work through your life....

Have you ever hit cruise control in your life? Have things ever been going so well that you forget the bad times? Pastor Bill wants you to know that no one is immune from the storms that come and go. When life is going well, and you don’t have any worries, concerns, or fears, use that as an opportunity to praise God. Whether you follow Jesus or not, the bad will come, and you must let Him guide yo...

As Christians, when life is going well, it’s easy to rest on our laurels and completely forget about God. We get hyper-focused on what we’re doing for ourselves and push God away. Pastor Bill wants you to know that you must put God at the center of everything in today's message. No matter how secure or self-assured you feel in your actions, you’ll never get to where you want to be without God. Lis...

Are you clean before the Lord? Has God rescued you from your sins? Do you know why? In today's message, Pastor Bill points out that God cleans us up for His unique purpose and not just for cleanliness. God calls us out of our sins, washes us off, and gives us something to do. God wants us to be busy doing what He told us to do. It may be simply engaging one person today with what God has done for...

Do you worship an idol? An idol is something that shifts some of your love from Jesus to it. Are you willing to sin to get your idol? In today’s message, Pastor Bill declares that we have an idol if we are openly willing to rebel against God to gain it. Pursuing an idol involves disobedience against God and comes about subtly and slowly. A little tug on us here, a little tug there until we find ou...

Has God called you to stop sinning? Have you responded well? Today Pastor Bill says that we must destroy everything associated with that sin, unlike the children of Israel who refused to obey God. God told them to kill their enemies, but they thought they had a better plan. Their disobedience hurt them for generations. When God calls us to do something, we must respond with faith. Doing it God's w...

Are you failing? You feel like you can't get the victory. Maybe if you try harder? Today, Pastor Bill testifies that God put everything inside of us to have victory in this life. The key to overcoming is submitting to God's plan. Trying harder does not produce success. Ironically, victory comes from striving less. God decrees victory over us as we learn to lay down our will and ambition before Him...

Do you want an easy life? You know, the kind of life without anxiety or uncertainty. Do you want to please God? Pastor Bill today teaches us that we will not please God if our life does not require any faith. Having faith requires some amount of anxiety and uncertainty. God builds confidence in our lives by asking us to trust Him when we can't see the outcome. Pleasing God requires us to deal with...

Did God tell you to do something that you did not do? You can't see how it will work out, so you don't do it. Are you disobeying God? In today's message, Pastor Bill admonishes us to obey God without question. God's Word is more important than our spouse's or family's opinions. His Word outweighs opinions. Most times, God tells us to do an impossible task so that we grow in our faith and so that G...

Oh how great it would be if we could just bring everyone to Jesus just by hanging out with them! If we could spend time wherever, with whomever, and never be affected…but that’s not how it works.

While you are called to spread the truth of the Gospel everywhere, you st...

Or not say anything at all? Pastor Bill reminds you that the truth set...
