Worship Life Today

Are you a murderer? An innocent man died. Did you kill Him? In today's message, Pastor Holland declares that we are guilty of murder. Jesus of Nazareth died of no fault of His own. He didn't do anything wrong, certainly not enough to be killed. But He had to be killed. He chose to be killed. He volunteered to be killed. Why? He chose to die in our place. We are guilty and punishable by dea...

Are you enjoying your life? A life filled with abundance and happiness. Are you happy? In today's message, Pastor Holland declares that God intends for us to live abundantly and joyfully. God wants to bless us. Living joyfully comes from maintaining a close relationship with God. This means making His thoughts our thoughts, and His desires our desires. We can't manufacture it. Only God can...

Have you ever had a supernatural experience with God? Something out of the ordinary. Did you ever see God's promises come true? Today, Pastor Holland notes that God matures us by fulfilling the promises He gave us. He speaks a promise that seems impossible and then He supernaturally fulfills it. Our faith skyrockets when we hear God, obey Him and see Him complete the work. The next time God sp...

Are you limiting yourself? You can only see so far. Do you make decisions based only on your limited knowledge and experience? In today’s message, Pastor Holland teaches us that our unbelief causes us much harm. Edging God out of our decisions prevents us from receiving His blessings. Receiving His blessings requires us to go beyond our current understanding and to trust in something we can't...

Do you have lasting joy in your life? Joy is not a momentary jubilation, but a lasting calm delight. Is your life a calm delight? Today Pastor Holland explains that joy comes from spending time in God's presence. Indeed, there is no other source of real joy. We can find brief moments of celebration, but lasting joy comes only from God. In fact, He created us to spend time with Him. Our lives c...

Did you ever stop to think about what God considers the most important thing? If you knew what that was, would you do it? Pastor Holland's message today centers around what God thinks is most important. The answer is that God thinks the most important thing we can do is to simply visit with Him. When we rest in God's presence, we naturally become like Him. We start to act like He acts. We...

Did you ever loan something to someone who ended up thinking they owned it? What a mess trying to get it back. Did they ever give it back? In today's message, Pastor Holland reminds us that the Earth is the Lord's, and He is simply loaning it to us to manage. God created the Earth out of nothing. He spoke it into existence. He owns it. We sometimes forget who ultimately owns our property,...

Do you trust God completely? Or do you trust God only if He does what makes sense to you? Do you serve God or does God serve you? Today, Pastor Holland challenges our trust in God and notes that God may not always make sense to us. We learn to trust God when He speaks, we obey, and we see positive results. When we see God working, we learn that He can be trusted, even if it does not make sense at...

Who's your father? Who do you look to for direction in your life? Who guides you in your decisions? In today's message, Pastor Holland points out that how we deal with things unveils who our real father is. If God is not our father, then we will look to ourselves or to the world for direction. Without God our decisions are incorrect, leading to more heartache. But, if God is our father, th...

Nothing you could do or think or say can disqualify you from God’s loving grace. As Pastor Holland will point out in today’s message, to see God’s grace as that limited and your sin as that great is a symptom of pride. It’s an extremely effective tactic of our enemy and you’re buying right into it. When you lay your pride down before our Savior and acknowledge the supernatural immensity of His lov...

We like to think that if we just ignore evil in this world it will leave us alone, but that’s not how our enemy works. As Pastor Holland will point out in today’s message, Scripture warns us that Satan is roaming the earth like a lion seeking who he can devour. He’s on the prowl and he’s drawn to the light shining from the redeemed. He wants to snuff it out or intimidate and bring destruction all...

Today's culture is full of evil influences. Look around. If the culture around you isn’t enough to convince you that something is wrong, look to one of the many nations where people are treated with little to no dignity or respect. God's word says that many evil things are a result of demonic forces influencing people's minds. In today's message, Pastor Holland will teach you that...

Do you ever become anxious when you watch the news? You hear about corrupt politicians, the nation's economic problems, or even a crazy weather event that’s bound to be catastrophic. The worst part though is that no one seems to be able to agree on how to fix any of it. It can be easy to look to men in power to fix things, but the truth is that man is weak and will always fail. In today's...

Do you feel like you’re where God wants you to be? Have you followed his plan for your life, or do you know deep down that you’ve decided to follow your own plans instead? Choosing God's route isn’t always the easiest or most obvious choice. It requires that you give up living for the things of this world and have faith that God's rewards are better. In today's message, Pastor Holland...

Do you believe that prayer matters? What I mean by that is, do you believe that prayer can change the reality that you live in? Do you believe that it can result in physical healing or turn the tables of spiritual warfare? A lot of Christians would answer yes, but they hardly pray. Is that you today? Well, if it is, then this message is for you and will change the way that you view prayer. In toda...

How often do you ask God for things? I mean genuinely ask for something like a kid would ask his parents. Unashamedly. Without reservation. The way that you answered that question reveals a lot about how you see God. Do you see him as a loving father who wants to give good gifts to his children? Well, That’s whom the Bible says that he is. In today's message, Pastor Holland will teach you that...

What do you do when things become difficult? Everyone has a different natural response, and unfortunately, most of them are not healthy. For example, a lot of people rely on comfort food, or even alcohol for relief when things get tough. It can be hard to find solace, but there is good news for those who believe in Jesus. God renews us when we pray to him and ask for strength. In today's messa...

Can you think of a time when you were preparing for guests to come over? Do you remember what that excitement felt like as you were rushing to get things ready before they knocked on the door? If you were that excited about dinner guests, imagine how exciting it must be in heaven as Jesus’s return gets closer. Each day is one day closer to when Jesus returns, only it won’t be as subtle as a knock....

Wow, how amazing is that?! He wasn’t kidding when he said that he would stamp his name on Jerusalem. The Bible is full of these kinds of prophecies, some that have been fulfilled, and some that haven’t. For a long time, the biggest prophecy to be fulfilled was the coming of the Messiah. That was fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Now, the next big event is when he comes back to dest...

How often do you think about the book of Revelations? That’s the one with the crazy stuff, like the sky being ripped open, the antichrist, and Armageddon. It’s easy to pretend like it couldn’t possibly happen in your lifetime, but If that’s what you think, then you should think again. An important indicator that we are close to the rapture is the birth of a Red Heifer, which just happened for the...

Have you ever doubted God's goodness? Well, the Israelites sure did as they were wandering the wilderness. For 40 years, God continued to provide food, water, and shelter in miraculous ways for them. You’d think that they wouldn’t have had any doubt after the miraculous things they’d seen. Well, they did doubt, and God's reaction wasn’t anger, it was love and patience. In today’s message,...

Can you imagine what it must have been like to wander the wilderness for 40 years? The Israelites began to doubt God and the promise that he’d made them. Many times, they stopped abiding by the love of God and tried to take matters into their own hands. Instead of becoming impatient, God chose to repeatedly show them who he was and that he loved them. In today's message, Pastor Holland will te...

Understanding God’s grace is more of a journey than it is a point of arrival. Pastor Holland begins today’s message with a question that he often gets asked, which is “why does the God that we see in the New Testament seem so different from the God in the New Testament?” If you’ve ever asked yourself that question, then this message is for you. In today’s message, Pastor Holland will explore what...

When we step into the things that God is calling us to, there is a temptation to rely on our own power and strength. This happens all throughout the Bible, and we can probably remember many times when we have done that ourselves. In today’s Message Pastor Holland will help us see that when we are trusting in ourselves, we are in unbelief. We measure how we stand against the situation because we ar...

When we look at the story of the Israelites wandering in the desert there are many things that we can learn. There were times when they were being led by the Spirit of God and they would follow, and then other times when they wouldn’t follow. Sometimes in our lives, God will lead us into something that we are uncertain of. However, as Pastor Holland will teach in today’s message when God calls us...
