What do we do when everything around us seems to be going down? In today’s message, Pastor Eddie says we must remind ourselves that God gives us hope, and that never goes away. When you’re in a trial remember that Jesus lives in you. He’s the hope that never fails. Even when the things around you fall, God gives us hope that He will restore all that’s broken. Rest in God and be assured that He’s g...

There are a lot of things in this world that are bad. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie says it’s all a result of sin. Because this world is inherently bad, it needs a savior. That person is Jesus. If you don’t believe in Jesus, you’ll have no answer to the world and the way that it is. Jesus gives hope in the darkest of places. If you trust and believe in the hope of Jesus, you will be saved. Trus...

What does it mean when we are living with the grace of God? In today’s message, Pastor Eddie says that when we live with the grace of God, we have peace and it’s never the other way around. When you trust in the cross of Christ, that He died and rose again for you, you’ll have a peace that’s beyond all understanding. God loves you so much that He sent His son for you. That truth will give you peac...

Good mentors are in high demand in today’s society. Today, Pastor Eddie says that we must guide younger people to love and know God. When you get older, you must start being a person who people can look up to. God wants you to build up laborers for His kingdom, and that starts by mentoring and discipling those around you who are younger. When you build up youth, you are building the foundation for...

Being a man can have different definitions. Today, Pastor Eddie says that one of the key things for men to have is faith. When you have faith as a man you can guide others well and show biblical manhood well. This doesn’t just apply to men but applies to all. You should be guiding others in faith and love to live lives that glorify God. This world needs Jesus, when you show the light of Christ to...

When we look at something and say that it is sound what do we mean? Today, Pastor Eddie says that being sound means being hygienic or clean. What does that mean for the church? It means equipping your congregation with scripture. When you have scripture in your life, you’re able to live life the way Christ has called you to. He wants you to live a life like Christ did. The only way to do that is t...

This world will tell you that if you don’t agree with someone, you should distance yourself from them. Today, Pastor Eddie says that when we don’t live by the grace of the gospel it’ll weigh us down. We are to love one another as Christ loved us. If you disagree with someone, think of what Christ would do. He wouldn’t decide to distance Himself but He would lean in closer. Find peace in God today...

Before Christ, we are all lost and in need of a savior. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie tells us of the miracle on the cross that made all of our sins forgiven. God sent His son so that we could be made free and redeemed through Him. When you believe in Jesus you are saved. It’s that simple! God loves you and wants you to live a life that’s redeemed through His son. Jesus is the only answer to yo...

Can we all agree that often this world feels like chaos? In today’s message, Pastor Eddie says that God is a God of order. He started the world with order and wants order. When you’re feeling lost and confused, remember that if you trust God with your life, you have assurance and hope in Christ. He alone can bring order to a lost and broken world. You have a hope, his name is Jesus. There will be...

How do we become more Godly as humans? In today’s message, Pastor Eddie says the more we read scripture and understand who we are, the more Godly we’ll become. When you understand who Christ was and who God is, you’ll start to understand who you’re supposed to be. Without knowing God’s character there’s no baseline to how you’re supposed to act. Lean into scripture and learn of who God is so that...

When we become believers of Christ, why do we call ourselves servants? In today’s message, Pastor Eddie addresses why Paul calls himself a bondservant. In scripture, God says that if you’re the least, you will be looked at first in Heaven's kingdom. When you think of your life, are you serving others before yourself? Christ came down to serve and that should challenge you to serve more. Be selfles...

Sometimes when we start reading new books of the Bible it can be hard to find a theme to the book. Today, Pastor Eddie shares with us the theme of the book of Titus. Titus talks about how we should be living rightly as children of grace. As Christians, we should constantly live with the truth of scripture. Be reminded of the truth of the Gospel today, which is that God loved you so much that He ga...

Have you ever tried to lose weight by just working out but not changing your diet, or maybe you just changed your diet but never worked out? You could not get the best results by doing one but not the other. As Pastor Eddie points out, prayer and the Bible are the same way, not only do you need to pray consistently, but you must also read your Bible consistently. You learn how to pray effectively...

Have you ever done something because someone else told you it would be helpful? You may not have believed it would help, but you went through the motions anyway. That is how some people approach praying. They don’t believe anything will happen, they have no faith. Today Pastor Eddie challenges you to believe God will hear when you pray and to have faith that prayers work. Otherwise, there is no se...

How often do you pray? Do you only pray when you need something? That’s how many people approach prayer. God is not a genie that will grant your every wish. As Pastor Eddie explains, seeking God will help you endure the struggles you encounter. If you continually seek the Lord, He may not remove the trouble altogether, but you will have the strength to push through so that you can accomplish God’s...

We all have gone through some struggles where we felt like we were completely alone, and that can be a scary feeling. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie provides a comforting reminder that Christ said He will never leave you alone. Once you surrender to Jesus and accept Him as your Lord, the Holy Spirit comes to live in you. Pray and seek to have a relationship with Jesus and He will draw closer to...

Do you know someone who has a lot of stuff? They could be a collector of cars, watches, or even shoes, or maybe they just have a lot of things. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie reminds you to share what you have. Especially if you have an excess of stuff, and it can be used by someone else. As a follower of Christ, you should always be willing to share what you have. If you truly trust God with wh...

What do you do when you have leftover food? Do you get a box and take it home only to throw it out a few days later, or do you just leave it to be thrown away? As Pastor Eddie will explain, it would be better to give your leftover food to someone in need. Unfortunately, the tendency is to keep the excess and let it go bad. Any time you have extra you should consider giving it away because if you h...

It can be hard to see people living and doing things that you don’t agree with. Your first reaction may be to judge their life or actions based on your thoughts and feelings. Today, Pastor Eddie cautions you to be careful about how you interact with others. You should share the gospel with others, in love, but you should never judge the actions or choices of others, it’s not your place, your job i...

How do you start a conversation with people you see? Do you have a go-to greeting, or do you just jump right into something you need or want? You more than likely start with some sort of “Hey, how’s it going, good to see you..” you wouldn’t walk up and start with, “I need…” so why start a conversation with God that way? Today Pastor Eddie points out how every prayer in the Old Testament starts wit...

Have you ever had a boss or manager that you knew wasn’t going to give you any problems? You just knew when they were in charge it would be smooth sailing and you could get away with anything! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie explains how when you try to take charge the devil will not leave you alone. If you try to do things without first relying on God, you are making it easy for satan to come in...

Whenever there is a group of people, there will eventually be conflict within the group. It is inevitable that people will disagree with each other, and that will often lead to battles. What about the battles within your own mind? The Spirit of God within you will battle with your own desires, and that creates internal conflict. Today Pastor Eddie has good news, there is a cure for your internal c...

Have you ever stopped to think about what are your wants versus what are actual needs? Too many people think what they just want, are necessities; for example, you need water, but you want flavored water. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie explains that God may not be giving you what you pray for because it is a want and not a need. God already knows what you really need, and will give it to you whe...

Have you ever heard that saying of the angel and devil on your shoulders; on the one side the “angel” is telling you to do “good” and on the other, the “devil” is telling you to do bad. The “angel” is really the Spirit of God, and the “devil” is the flesh, or the world. As Pastor Eddie explains, the Spirit and the flesh are always battling for control of your mind or, conscientiousness. It is a da...

The way God treats us directly shows us who He is. The same is true with us, the way we treat others shows them exactly who God is. We must be effectively and appropriately bearing the image of God to those around us! In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will remind you to be aware as you interact with His people, whether they’re kind or not, YOU still need to show kindness. You need to treat people a...
