A Transforming Word

Sometimes it takes multiple failures to finally learn and make a change. The beauty of God’s grace is that you’re never too far gone to be saved by His grace. If you’ve messed up, it’s not too late. In today’s message Pastor Bill will teach about God’s grace. He’ll remind you that this life is fleeting and someday you’ll meet the Lord face to face. If that happened today, would you be ready? We’re...

Are you living out your faith in a way that’s evident to those around you? There’s a difference between committing your life to Jesus and simply knowing about Him. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will challenge you to look at your life, are you living out your faith? If you’re no different than a non-believer, there might be some things you can change. As life-long learners, we’re all on this jour...

Now days, it seems as though anything goes and there’s pressure to join that ‘free-for-all” mentality. Well, the Bible gives us clear instruction regarding how we should conduct ourselves as followers of Christ and it’s not always the easier path. In today’s message Pastor Bill will teach from the book of Titus about how we should operate in the world we live in. Loving others isn’t always the fir...

When Paul wrote his letter to Titus, he gave him stern a warning to be on the lookout for those who profess godliness, but deny its power. This is to say that there are those who act, or speak in a seemingly righteous way, but the truth of God is actually far from them. In today's message, Pastor Bill will teach you how this warning is just as relevant in the Church today as it was back then. In h...

Would you say that you're a people pleaser? While there's nothing wrong with going out of your way to serve others and build a good reputation, it's important you don't let it keep you from speaking truth. As Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, speaking the truth can stir tension, but you're no less called to do so. In his study, you'll learn the importance of prioritizing truth over...

Due to our sinful nature, the idea of surrendering ourselves over to The Lord, let alone anyone for that matter isn't the easiest pill to swallow. However, the more self sacrifice we make, the more we're proven time and time again that The Lord truly means good in our lives. As Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, one of the best decisions you can make is to let The Lord lead you. In h...

Many of us would be quick to agree that some things in life are just easier when we have the support of another person or even several. However, as believers and followers of Christ, sometimes we're exclusively called and must do things on our own. As Pastor Bill will teach you in his message today, we don't always have the comfort we seek when called by The Lord for a task. In his study, you'll l...

What would you say is the level of commitment you have to regularly reading the Word of God? For many believers, there comes a point where our commitment or passion for God's Word often dulls after reading through it so many times. Not with Paul! In today's message, Pastor Bill reflects on Paul's passion for Scripture, who even in knowing he was soon to die, still desired the Word. In his study, y...

All throughout the Bible we're constantly warned to guard our hearts from the fleeting pleasures of this world. While there's nothing we can do to entirely avoid the world, we as believers can still make sure that we're simply in the world, rather than the world being in us. In today's message, Pastor Bill reflects on one of the most common reasons believers backslide. Love for the world. In his s...

Often times we tend to think of affliction as having a negative connotation. We also often think of affliction as being punishment for wrong doing. In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you that there is glory in affliction. If you are going through a difficult time, who do you want to be with you in that time? Who better than the lover of your soul and the maker of the universe? In times of...

Today, Pastor Bill will remind you that within the church, there is a stereotype that sharing the Word of God will make you an unpopular person. Not everyone who you share the Gospel with will surrender their life to Jesus. There will be many who reject what God has to say through you. As Christians, we are called to share the message of Christ not ourselves. So when people reject what we have to...

Throughout the Bible, Christians are called to evangelize. Evangelize is just a fancy word that means sharing about God with others... But often times, we don't feel adequate. We don't feel like we could possibly know enough to bring someone to Christ... And while that may be true, it doesn't matter. In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you that if you are saved, that's all you need to brin...

How much of God's word do you have memorized? Today, Pastor Bill will remind you that memorizing portions of scripture is what truly gives meaning to the Bible being symbolized as a sword. When trials come and difficulties rear their ugly heads, we can defend ourselves with the Word of God. The Bible is our weapon against the attack of the enemy. Imagine you are scared you won't have enough income...

Have you ever thought of the Bible as a historical document? Often times we tend to think of the Bible as a religious book. However, many historians view the Bible as a historical document, even if they don't believe in the message it provides! This is only one function of the Bible. In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you that the Bible is multifaceted. While the entire Bible is not writt...

In today's message, Pastor Bill will remind you that we live in a broken and evil world, full of difficult people and situations. However, our walk with the Lord is what enables us to make it through each and every trial. The Bible says that in this world, Christians will have struggles... God didn't promise it would be easy... But He did promise it would be worth it. A healthy relationship with t...

The world right now is full of darkness and brokenness. You are in the “last days”. It will continue until Jesus returns for his people. Paul taught about what a life lived in light of God’s imminent return would look like. Today, Pastor Bill will encourage you to seek to be a person who causes others to follow God because of your example. Speak the truth, live rightly and love others well. You ar...

There are certain people in your life and past that subtly (or maybe quite openly) pull you away from God. The more time you spend with them, the more distant you become from God. Today, Pastor Bill will challenge you to carefully think about who you spend time with. Yes, you are called to be a light in the dark world, but when you pursue sinful people you will not grow in relationship with God. A...

In the last days, there will be certain events and experiences that hint at the end times. But, Paul teaches that characteristics that people will exhibit will also mark the soon return of Jesus. Today Pastor Bill will describe the people and behavior that will fill the last days. People will love themselves and their desires above anyone else. They’ll be proud, unholy and pleasure seeking. Pastor...

Some non-believers will oppose you, question you and wonder at the message you speak about God. Without the knowledge of the Holy Spirit, it’s hard for them to understand the message of the gospel. Today, Pastor Bill will encourage you to patiently, gently teach God’s truth. This requires great humility, but the payoff is great glory to God. The goal is to bring people the truth of the gospel, and...

It’s easy to get swept up in the moment of an alter call and say “yes! I believe”. However, if you continue to live your life just as before, perhaps, you weren’t truly converted. Today, Pastor Bill will encourage you to examine your life and determine if indeed you are saved. Do you desire to walk away from sin? Do you long to know God and his word? By the conviction of the Holy Spirit, you confe...

What will Jesus say to you on judgement day about the words you speak and the way you work for him? God gives opportunities and audiences for you to speak of him. Pastor Bill will encourage you to take advantage of the privilege of God’s call in your life to speak His name. Speak in such a gospel-centered, God-honoring way that you will not be ashamed at judgement. Know God’s word so you can speak...

Many will promote the message that if you give your life to Jesus and have enough faith, you will have an easy, painless and good life. Today, Pastor Bill will challenge you to remember that life as a believer will not be easy. The enemy will battle for every soul it can win. Yet, Paul, who endured pain, torment, rejection and imprisonment called all he suffered worth it in order that others would...

Living a life of obedience and faith will challenge you because God’s timing and God’s will sometimes don’t align with your own plans. Faith requires hard work and deep trust in God. Pastor Bill will encourage you today to: believe that God hears you, and remember that He’s good. And if God causes you to wait, trust that he will bring good out of that time. Continue moving forward in obedience, wo...

Working for God in your strength and desire is not possible. No one is strong enough in themselves to accomplish what only God can. And no one deserves to be in the place God has put them except by the grace of God. Recognizing this, as Pastor Bill explains today, will sustain and empower all work you do for Christ in the world. Remain strong in your faith and stay connected to Jesus. You must als...

Doing the work of God is not always easy. In fact, God may call you to difficult places and situations. But, he always provides and empowers you in everything he has called you to! Today, Pastor Bill will point out that one of the ways he provides is giving you people who can love and support you as you obediently walk in faith. Allow others to strengthen and encourage you. And in turn, you can be...
