Do you have peace in your life? Life is full of busyness and striving to achieve. It’s challenging to find peace in the midst of all of that. In today’s message, Pastor Phil will remind you that God is the only source of peace. Stop striving to do life through your own strength. Surrender it to God, and you can find peace.

It’s easy to start thinking we’ve figured out this life thing. We begin to rely on our own ideas and follow our own path. Pastor Phil will warn you today to turn from that thinking. You may think you can handle it on your own, but you know pride comes before the fall. Humble yourself and rely on God’s way. Follow His path.

Are you someone who will support your brothers and sisters in Christ? In today’s message, Pastor Phil will encourage you to help another Christian who needs it.

Is God on our side? We can trick ourselves into thinking God is automatically with us in everything we do, just because we’re good church attendees.

An idol doesn’t have to be a golden calf. It can be anything in your life right now that challenges God for first place in your heart.

Your clock is ticking. The sands of time are slowly falling, and the hourglass is running out. One day, the countdown will hit zero, and you will be on this Earth no more.

The distinction between a true pastor and a hireling can often be subtle but crucial.

Have you ever faced mistreatment and felt the urge to strike back? Today, Pastor Phil reminds you of Jeremiah’s Christlike patience in the face of injustice.

You may have heard before, or even held the belief, that people are “basically good.” As long as they have what they need, then they’ll do the right thing.

It’s not a matter of IF, but When, you’ll experience wrong done against you in life. The question is, how are you going to deal with it?

Some things are easy to let go of, but we all have a certain limit to what we’ll take.

His invitation to you is to trust Him fully so that whatever He calls you to, you’ll respond with, “So be it Lord.”
