Worship Life Today

Chances are you've heard it said that you can't prove that God exists. As tempting as it might be to respond to such a claim with “yeah, well you can't prove He doesn't exist” we would do well talk about the witness and testimony of the nation of Israel. In today's message, Pastor Holland discusses how the very existence of Israel to this day is a testimony of God in and of itself. In his study, y...

One of the most unfortunate yet common realities among many believers is that The Bible can be read as a one-and-done deal. However, there are countless passages in The Bible that speak to the importance of regularly taking in God's Word as a believer. As Pastor Holland will discuss in his teaching today, regularly reflecting on Scripture is what renews and sanctifies our minds. In his study, you'...

Good parents don’t stop loving their children just because they mess up. In today’s edition of Worship Life Radio, Pastor Holland explains that God hasn’t abandoned the nation of Israel. Even when they’ve rejected Him and worshiped other gods, God has faithfully loved His chosen people. As you keep unpacking how God will judge the world, you’ll see that He’ll continue to draw His people to Himself...

How do you respond when a tragedy occurs or hard things happen? You may wonder where God is and why He allowed such brokenness. You may question how God could be good when He lets injustice happen. Well, today, Pastor Holland shares that what can seem like indifference or lack of action is actually God holding back His judgment. You see, God wants everyone to know Him and become part of His family...

When you think about all of the movies, books, and experiences out there, you’ll see that people want more than a mundane life.  You want a life filled with adventure and purpose, something bigger than yourself. Well, today, Pastor Holland explains that this is exactly what you get when you walk with the Lord. Every day becomes an opportunity for God to show up in ways you never expected. Jes...

When you move to a different city, you have the opportunity to make a new life in this new place. Now, going back to your old life would require a lot of work. Well, as Pastor Holland shares today, the same is true when you begin a relationship with the Lord. Suddenly, you’ve got a brand-new life. Things aren’t the same as they were because you aren’t the same person.  God is changing you fro...

Worshipping the Lord is a gift. It’s a gift for you as an individual and also a gift to others watching you. We all worship something. Every single one of us. That’s because we were created for worship. If we don’t rightly fill the void with God, then we’ll fill the void with other things that bring us short-lived pleasure. As Pastor Holland reminds us today, first of all, we serve a God worthy of...

God hates separation and division. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to end separation once and for all. So, when Christians are divisive, it angers Him. In today’s message, Pastor Holland reminds us that God’s desire is for believers to live in harmony and unity. This doesn’t mean we’ll never have arguments or disagreements, but what it should mean is that we can work them out in...

Our separation from God isn’t because of what we do , it’s because of who we are . It’s nothing we can change of our own volition by working hard or trying to live up to some expectation. No! That’s why God sent His Son to die for us. Jesus paid it all because our debt was too great.  So now, as Pastor Holland reminds us today, when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you’re chan...

There’s a distinct difference between believing there is a God and being a true follower of God. Just as in Pharoah’s day, people couldn’t deny God’s wonders and miracles. He made Himself apparent to everyone as He rescued His people out of Egypt. Still, many chose not to accept Him as their own God. Pastor Holland reminds us in his message today, that making God “your God” is the first step to sa...

Truth is a funny thing. It remains the truth regardless of whether anyone believes it or not. So it is, with Christianity. In today’s message, Pastor Holland reminds us that it doesn’t really even matter if you believe in God or not. It matters to your salvation, sure! But whether or not you believe in God, Jesus, or heaven has no bearing on their existence. So it was, in Noah’s day. God found onl...

We often think of our “sin” as separating us from God. And although this is true, it’s probably not true in the way that you’re thinking. In today’s message, Pastor Holland teaches about the translation of the word “sin” in relation to the verse: “the wages of sin is death” found in Romans chapter 6. Did you know the word “sin” there is not a verb? It’s a noun. Our actions don’t separate us from G...

Jesus Christ is your King. If you’ve given your life to Him, you’re under His authority. In today’s message, Pastor Holland reminds you that you can’t decide to give your life to Christ and then go your own way. Your path has a new trajectory; it’s pointed to Heaven and the only way to get there is through Jesus. Believers who turn their back on God and think they can live their lives how they wan...

Jesus paid our debt in full on the cross. Nothing else needs to be done. So, Pastor Holland reminds us today, if you’re still living under condemnation and guilt, then you’re living a lie. Jesus died so that you could live. If what He did wasn’t sufficient, then it’s worthless and pointless and you’re still lost in your sin. No! His death meant everything! You’re saved, redeemed, and sealed for al...

In today’s message, Pastor Holland reminds us that the enemy has no power over us. When you become a born-again Christian, the only One who wields all the power is Jesus Christ. Luckily, He uses His power for good and to set us free. Grab onto the truth of this: Satan has no hold on you. You were redeemed at a price because Jesus deemed you worthy! He accepted his plight of becoming the sacrificia...

Our God is a jealous God. To serve Him, you must have no other gods before Him. What does this mean? In our culture, it doesn’t necessarily mean serving another actual god, like Ra or Allah, although serving them is wrong as well. But we’ve gotten really good at being conspicuous about our gods, serving things we don’t even label as gods. As Pastor Holland asks in his message today, “What are you...

Sometimes it feels like living for God is an impossible task. You just can’t do the things that you know you should. You’re your own worst enemy. Well, in today’s teaching, Pastor Holland shares that God is the one who will change you and give you the strength to live for Him. It’s not up to you to muster it up or to make things happen. He does all that. Pastor Holland will encourage you to trust...

Does what you do match the things you say? In today’s edition of Worship Life Radio, Pastor Holland shares that you should ask yourself this important question. As you study salvation, you’ll learn that you’re God’s vehicle for sharing His message of love and grace with the world.  So, with this in mind, how you live matters because people are looking at you as God’s representative. Actions c...

A boat is controlled by its rudder. Whoever is in charge of that, decides where the boat goes. In today’s edition of Worship Life Radio, Pastor Holland begins a deep look at salvation and what it means for your life. He shares that at its core, salvation is an issue of lordship. It’s about who you give control to. You’ll be challenged to consider if you’ll live in the freedom that Christ brings or...

We are sinners from day one. This has been true since the beginning of time. We seek self-indulgence and desire power and autonomy. We can’t resist this way of living without the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. In today’s message, Pastor Holland furthers this idea by saying that, in fact, the carnal mind is hostile towards God. We want nothing to do with Him, and the purpose of this life is...

There are two opposing kingdoms in our world today: the kingdom of God and the world system that is controlled by Satan. In today’s message, Pastor Holland reminds us that we cannot belong to both. When you become a believer, you are part of God’s kingdom and lose your citizenship in this world. Some people try to toe the line and grasp tightly to things they no longer have rights to. Citizenship...

Today, Pastor Holland discusses the creation of the world system and how we got to where we are today. In the beginning, when God created the earth, the world system was global. Everyone was under God and there were no other ruling authorities. This is the way God would have preferred things, but with man’s free will and sin nature, this system broke down. Men and women are always seeking power an...

The God of the universe is more powerful than you could ever imagine. Just read about the Creation of the world, the flood, and the ark, and as Pastor Holland will share today, the plagues He brought against Egypt. What an incredible and almighty God we have the privilege of serving! God is still doing incredible things today – He’s offering new life to you. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die in your...

We can easily be deceived by the world into forgetting who we are. We can lose sight and get bogged down in negative thinking and self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. But in today’s message, Pastor Holland reminds you that your identity is in Christ. You are who He says you are. He made you for a purpose and has a plan for your life. Don’t let this world speak untruth to your heart. Spend time w...

In our culture today, we’re often encouraged to practice self-care and spend time alone to self-actualize. At the heart of it, this advice may be well-intended, but there’s no way we can know ourselves without first knowing God. In today’s message, Pastor Holland reminds us that the only One who truly knows us is the One who made us. He created you in our innermost being and knows every hair on yo...
