A Transforming Word

Apostles were believers who had direct revelations from Jesus Christ, Himself. Either they walked with Him while He lived on this earth, like the twelve disciples, or they had supernatural encounters, like Paul. This means that apostles had firsthand, inspired, accurate teachings from the One true source, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Today, Pastor Bill tries to understand why the Corinthian churc...

In today’s message, Pastor Bill encourages us to love others the way Christ loves them. What does this look like? Jesus loves people enough that he left heaven and died on the cross for our sins so we could be reunited with God for eternity. He cares for all His children equally, even those who don’t know Him or haven’t acknowledged Him. He waits eagerly for them to choose him and accepts them the...

It grieves Jesus when people know the Word and know Him, but have no love for others. As it is written in the scriptures, they will know we are Christians by our love. If you know the Word of God, but don’t have love for His people and His creation, then you’ve missed His message. Jesus came to this world to die on the cross for all, because He loved us so much. Join Pastor Bill today as he asks i...

No believer is in a place to look down on a sinner. Every single one of us came from that same place and there’s nothing we’ve done that we can boast about. It’s all Christ. He’s made the change in us, and He wants to make the same change in every lost soul. As Pastor Bill will challenge us in today’s message, we need to look at others with the grace we’ve been given. Even if you know a person’s l...

When the truth contradicts your choices or lifestyle, it can feel very offensive. No one likes being told they’re wrong, but when you’re choosing to live in destructive sin, you need to hear the truth. As Pastor Bill will explain in today’s message, far too many Christians, and even entire Churches and denominations are opting to omit or alter the truth of Scripture to avoid offending anyone. That...

Scripture tells us, as believers, that the world should know us by our love. Our unity, in spite of our differences and disagreements, should stand out as counter-cultural. Yet, all too often, the church brings negative attention to itself because of its petty arguments. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will explore the guidance given in 1st Corinthians on how we should manage our disputes. It shou...

If you’ve accepted Christ’s gift of salvation, that change of heart should be reflected in your actions and attitudes. If it’s not, your fellow believers need to come along side of you and help guide you into a life that glorifies our Savior. But, as Pastor Bill will explain in today’s message, before someone comes to Christ, we can’t hold them to the same expectations. You can lovingly point out...

The members of the Church are a work in progress. We’re actively being perfected by the refinement of the Holy Spirit – but we have a long way to go. Sadly, many lost people come into the Church or observe it from outside and they’ve got a knack for spotting any hint of hypocrisy. As Pastor Bill will warn in today’s message, we can’t expect absolute perfection of any human. At the same time, withi...

The way we deal with fellow believers should be different than the way we deal with those who haven’t yet accepted Christ. As Pastor Bill will remind us in today’s message, those who have accepted Christ are held to a different standard than those who haven’t. It’s not that we should embrace immorality and sin in the lost – being made aware of our sinfulness is a necessary step in coming to Christ...

We all have people in our life that are influential and vital to our growth. Be it good examples or bad. Today, Pastor Bill reminds us that, as we have people that are examples for us, we also become examples for the people around us. You control your actions and your words and it’s up to you to live like someone who could be a leader for others. All of us have roles we’re called by God to fill, b...

The church has a history of focusing on the wrong things; there’s too many different denominations that all stem from the same Book. Pastor Bill reminds us today that we all need the saving grace of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. There’s no one who can’t benefit from it. And we’re all equal at the foot of the cross. It doesn’t matter what denomination you are, it doesn’t matter where you c...

We all have had responsibilities that we’ve shirked, whether at home or at work. Often times, it’s because we’re lazy and we know if I don’t do it, someone else will. Pastor Bill reminds us today that we have a responsibility as Christians to spread the news of the Gospel. Once you know something, you can’t un-know it. And if you know Jesus is Lord, it becomes your duty to share that with anyone a...

Do you ever think about how foolish the ideas of this world are? There are people that we praise and lift up because we think they’re so brilliant, when in comparison to God, they’re fools. Pastor Bill reminds us today of how far off track we get under Satan’s rule. We tell lies and detest truth because we believe what the world has said. But when you trust in God, you realize that only He is trus...

At any and all points in history, there’ve been people who try to capitalize on other’s weaknesses or insecurities; they make empty promises in order to lead them astray. Pastor Bill reminds us today how important it is to have a solid foundation in Christ. To come to Him because you know you need His saving grace, and not because you want to get rich, is vital for a lasting relationship. Christ r...

What does it mean to be confident? To be assured in your own choices and decisions, to not look back and regret, to know that you’ll do the right thing when the situation arises. But Pastor Bill reminds us today that while self-confidence is untrustworthy, confidence in God is always true. When you have the God of the universe on your side and you know He loves you and will take care of you…what c...

We stop considering people children when they can see a bigger picture, and not just themselves, right? To grow and mature in Christ looks much the same. Pastor Bill reminds us today that when we mature in God, we focus less on ourselves, and more on what God has a heart for. We’re not so worried about where our next paycheck comes from because we know He’ll take care of us. Your focus shifts towa...

Many people are under the impression that every Christian is a hypocrite. It’s true in the sense that, we strive to be perfect even though we know we’ll never accomplish it on this earth. Pastor Bill reminds us today that being a Christian isn’t about just reading the Bible; you can read something over and over again and never comprehend it. Being a Christian is about reading your Bible and OBEYIN...

1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 9 says, “what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’ the things God has prepared for those who love him…” In his message today, Pastor Bill encourages you to understand that God is preparing even in the NOW. God is moving and working out things in your life today…not just yesterday or in ten years from now. How amazing is our God...

The bible says over and over again, “Do not be afraid.” But when the Lord calls you to do something that terrifies you…it’s easy to forget what the word of God says. But in today’s message, Pastor Bill encourages you to not be afraid. For one of the greatest things happen when you overcome fear: you discover God to be faithful….every time. For when you step out, God always steps in. So have faith...
