A Transforming Word

Have you ever felt like you were fighting a losing battle? Like no matter what you say or do, there’s no way you can succeed. Pastor Bill reminds us today that that’s exactly what Satan is doing; he’ll never give up trying to deceive the nations.

How many second chances have you given people? What about third or fourth?

Don’t give up on Him because He will...

Ambassadors have power and authority because it’s been given to them by the leaders who sent them. In the same way, God gives his followers everything they need to do the work He has for them.

And the angel in Revelation 10 is...

What is important to you? What do you value? In today’s teaching, Pastor Bill encourages you to take stock of what’s important in your life. And He asks you to consider whether your job, your family, your things, or anything else is more important to you than God.

The book of revelation is all about God’s wrath and judgement being poured out. But did you know if you’re a follower of Christ, you’ve been sealed? You’ve been delivered by the blood of the lamb, saved from the wrath of God.

Sometimes it seems like the majority of the Bible focuses on the bad: people screw up, they’re not obedient, God’s angry and punishes them and the cycle continues. If the Bible is made up of all we need to know about God, what does that tell us? Pastor Bill reminds us today why so much of Revelation is focused on God’s wrath. It’s a warning: God’s anger at sin runs just as deep as His love for us....

We all know people who don’t subscribe to any religion and yet, they believe they’re extremely spiritual. Maybe you ARE one of those people. Today, Pastor Bill breaks down what it means to “be spiritual” but not a follower; it means caring so much about yourself and your opinions that you can’t handle anyone telling you what’s what. Do you really think you’re smarter than every-one who came before...

Have you ever been tricked due to ignorance? That’s probably the most common way you’ve been tricked, right?! Pastor Bill reminds us today how important it is for believers to be well-versed in scripture.

Finding a home church is a tough job; there are so many different doctrines and denominations that it can be confusing. Shouldn’t they all be similar?

As a church, we should reflect what Heaven looks...

Everyone seems to have one topic that gets them all riled up; maybe it’s politics, maybe it’s sexism but, for the most part, people are respectful even when they don’t agree with you.

How often do you blame things on others when it’s not really their fault? We like to put the blame on someone because it makes us feel better about bad things happened. Today, Pastor Bill encourages to be careful about attributing things to God when it’s really Satan, or our own wrongdoing. Even though God is in control, that doesn’t mean everything is perfect; we live in an flawed world where the...

Angels are not the cute cupids that we sometimes see them as in television and cartoons. In fact they're great warriors. Today Pastor Bill helps you understand the strengths and weaknesses of Angels.

A covenant is sacred. It cannot be taken back and...

Do the people you come in contact with leave knowing that there's something special about you? Do they get a glimpse of Jesus's influence? Today Pastor Bill teaches the need for you to radiate Jesus.
