When it’s within our power, we are obligated to do the best we can to rectify broken relationships. Find out how...

Every day we have responsibilities and obligations that need to be taken care of. Sometimes it’s drudgery, sometimes it’s fun…but the way we approach all these things in life is a choice.

If you let yourself act according to every whim or feeling that you experience, you’d probably be a very lonely person.

Pastor Daniel will give us real life examples in his teaching today, as we try to understand how to be truly satisfied. We’ll find that satisfaction originates in relationship with Jesus…and radiates out to everything in our l...

Friendship has its privileges. Most of us seek friendships that are fulfilling to us…but a friend that just makes us feel good shouldn’t be what we’re looking for. As we’ll hear in Pastor Daniel’s teaching, friends are truly friends when they call you out on your stuff…because love isn’t about enabling someone in their sin, but challenging them to change. It can be difficult to do, and hard to rec...

Christians are often called out by non-believers as being hypocrites, especially when a person claims to follow Jesus, but their actions show otherwise. But it’s true, Christians are hypocrites.

It starts with a...

Pride is always a huge obstacle in life…no matter what situation it’s applied to. Pride puts the priority on self, never on others. As we’ll hear today in this message from Pastor Daniel, that is totally contrary to God’s character, and keeps us from letting Him work in our hearts. Listen, and find out how to let go of an “I’m always right” attitude and how to become humble in Spirit. It’s possibl...

It what you’re saying and doing reflecting who you serve? If not, it’s vital to co...

It takes a lot of energy to feed feelings of hatred...there’s a reason it’s compared to a fire, devouring everything good. Slander, lies, violence…all these spring from hatred. Today, Pastor Daniel will examine the contrast of hatred and love, and why it’s so difficult to love someone even in their mistakes. Jesus is not only the answer, but the example of loving wisdom. Listen as we consider why...

If you had a bowl of fresh fruit and a bowl of rotten fruit sitting on your counter…which would you throw away? The answer is obvious…but it’s not so obvious when it comes to people, because we tend to value the wrong things. Today, Pastor Daniel will teach about the contrast between wickedness and righteousness. While we know righteousness is the way, we’ve all failed at it. Today, we’ll find out...

A person that is unteachable never grows. Whether you’re an athlete, and artist, or a pastor…everyone must be teachable. For spiritual growth, we need to learn from the Father. Pastor Daniel explains why humility is vital to strengthening our relationships with God. We all live in a world where people are seen as self-sufficient planets, revolving around nothing. In fact, when we allow God to guid...

When you watch a happy, sad, or scary film…it affects your mood. What we take in, whether it’s watching, hearing or touching…leaves an imprint on our lives. Today, Pastor Daniel stresses the importance of considering everything we consume and how our hearts can become a reflection of that. Our words and actions tell a story. We’ll be challenged to wonder, “what’s being tattooed on my heart?” Is it...

In a world of gray, how can we know what is right? Discernment. It’s a true gift…the ability to know the difference between what’s right and what’s not…and it only comes through God’s wisdom. People can be motivated by scrupulous intentions…and we need to be able to spot them. Pastor Daniel will encourage us today to check credentials…how the fruit of a person’s life is evidence of their heart. Ul...

God’s wisdom doesn’t always mean an easy resolution for our problems. When His words are difficult to swallow, it’s easy to turn away from them. But, the opposite of wisdom is foolishness…and nothing good comes of it. We’ll consider what it’s like to be in an emotionally vulnerable place, as Pastor Daniel helps us to understand what it means to reject God’s wisdom. What we want isn’t always health...

God’s wisdom calls out to everyone, everywhere. That’s the Lord’s desire…that everyone from the most highly educated to the most average person would be able to access the wisdom of the Father. Pastor Daniel challenges us to question where we line up according the wisdom of God…whether we embrace it or reject it…or somewhere in between. For anyone, if you turn towards Him He will make His words kn...

A person’s friends are an accurate indicator of who they are. We tend to listen to our friends, and follow their example…so it’s worth considering who you surround yourself with. Today, Pastor Daniel teaches from Proverbs, and what the book has to say about wisdom. Sometimes, people give advice that sounds good, but when you measure it against the truth of God’s Word…that counsel turns out to be t...

Fear is a powerful emotion…because it nearly always prompts action. Fear can push you towards safety or towards destruction. So, what does it mean to fear the Lord? At first read, it may seem contradictory, but it’s the central principle to really being able to access the wisdom of God. Today, Pastor Daniel will explain what it means to fear the Lord. If we’re living for Him, we know how our actio...

If Twitter is a compilation of people’s random thoughts…then Proverbs are like God’s nuggets of wisdom. Learning, gaining knowledge…anyone can do this through study. But, as we’ll hear today, wisdom is something different. Pastor Daniel will explain how God desires that we be wise…and that’s something different than being knowledgeable. If a person can not only understand the Word, but also apply...

In situations that bring misery, like losing a loved one…despair covers everything in our lives. It can be hard to remember the good times when we’re grieving. But, today, Pastor Daniel encourages us to consider the whole of our lives when we’re in trouble. God’s hand becomes evident. Your testimony is powerful, no matter what it is…because someone out there can connect with it. Listen and be empo...

Imagine someone presents you with a solution to a problem you’re having…but you don’t like it. There must be a better, more comfortable solution. But, sometimes there isn’t. Like with Jesus, suffering was necessary for Him to become the Savior of the world. He would have preferred a different way, but trusted that the Father knew what He was doing. Today, Pastor Daniel will encourage us to trust G...

When everything in life is going wrong, our instinct is to ask God, “Where are you?” In the midst of disaster, God is still there.

We’ll learn about how God stays through the suffering, and how we can praise Him even wh...

You know when you’re hiding from God. Even in sin, most of us think we’re hiding and think we’re getting away with it. But no matter where you go…He’s there. As Pastor Daniel explains today, He not only wants to lift us up, but protect us as well. We may think we know what that would look like, but it’s a struggle to accept God’s way of doing things over our own. We go our own way, but He’s always...

When someone is coming at you about your bad behavior, the instinct is to run away…even if it’s God who’s coming after you. We are experts at running from God, whether from shame or defiance…but we can never get away. Today, Pastor Daniel’s explanation of God’s omnipotence is actually a comfort… because its evidence of His love for us. NO matter how far we fall, He is always near and waiting…waiti...
