2d ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeWhen you give your life to Christ, your study time should include the Bible and listening to people who preach the Bible. Anything else shouldn't be in your life. It could cause you to stumble in your faith. Or worse, it could lead to you going down a path of eventual rejection of God. In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to warn you against false religions and false prophets. You need to be on your guard against any teaching that's contrary to Scripture, so you don't become deceived by any of it.

5d ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeGod set up clear laws for the Israelites about how they should worship Him and give their sacrifices to Him. All His laws have a purpose. He didn't want the Israelites to be ensnared by the evil practices of the wicked nations around them, so He gave them laws for their own good. Pastor Dan is going to remind you in today's message that God's laws for you are for the best, too. They might not be the easiest path to take in life, but they're worth it. God wants your devotion, undistracted from other false religions.

6d ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeThere's no limit to what Jesus' sacrifice on the cross can free you from. Whatever you've done in the past doesn't matter in light of God's forgiveness. He wants you to turn to Him. He wants you to give up the sin in your life so He can pour His blessings out on your life. But, as Pastor Dan will talk about in today's message, He won't force you to choose Him. That has to be your decision. But it's a decision you won't regret. You can be free of the weight of all your past mistakes if you just turn to Him.

1w ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeIf you want to experience the fullness of God's blessings that He has planned for your life, you need to give up your old ways of life from before giving your life to Him. He wants you to live differently from how you used to when you were still living in sin. In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to show you how God is abundant in blessings to those who follow Him and His will wholeheartedly. But when you make the decision to continue in sin, you forfeit those blessings for the immediate pleasures of your flesh.

1w ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeFollowing God means you need to give up all the past sin that's in your life. Jesus died for you to be forgiven of all the mess of your past. It's contrary to God's will for you to continue in it. As Pastor Dan will explain today, your life should bear the fruits of the Spirit working in you if you've really given your life to Christ. You should act differently as a result. The world should see a difference in you that's for the better. How you live should point others to Christ, too, as they see what a positive change has taken place in you.

1w ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeJesus intercedes for you to the Father. Just like Moses, He talks to God, so you don't face His wrath. Through His sacrifice on the cross, you can be forgiven of your sins and have eternal life. Today, Pastor Dan is going to show you how Moses acted as the intermediary between God and the people of Israel. Even while He was receiving their law, it didn't take long for Israel to distract themselves from God and make an idol. Moses pleaded for their forgiveness, similar to how Jesus makes a way for you to be forgiven.

2w ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeDoing good things is great, but why do you do them? Are you a kind person and love to see the betterment of others, or are you trying to gain some type of favor from someone, and is that someone God? You might be saying, “I volunteer at the soup kitchen twice a month, so God will definitely bless me.” This is a dangerous mindset. Today, Pastor Dan teaches that God doesn’t distribute His blessings based on how “good” you think you are or the “good works” you do, but does so out of His grace alone.

2w ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeIt feels good to have “success.” It could be when you gain status in your job, when you get good grades in your classes, or even when you’re praised for having good kids. When this abundance hits you, it can be easy to forget what life was like beforehand. You might even forget who to thank for the accomplishments that you are seeing. In today’s message, Pastor Dan shares about the dangers of prosperity in your life when it comes too quickly, and he’ll point you to praise God rather than yourself.

2w ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeWhen things are going well in life, there is nothing that can bring you down from that mountain-top feeling. You might get cut off in traffic, but you think to yourself, “No sweat, life is good,” But what happens when things aren’t looking so bright? You feel as though you are in the wilderness. That same car cuts you off, but now your reaction is different. You have more anger in your heart and are ready for a fight. Today, Pastor Dan shares how God uses the wilderness to reveal the truth about where your heart is.

2w ago00:26:00Tap to summarizeWhat’s a moment in your life that you look back on fondly? It could be your wedding day, the day your kid said his first word, or a close friend being there for you. Do you think back to the hard or dark moments in your life? The fondness isn’t always there, is it? With those difficult situations from the past, you can look back on them and think of the hope God gives. Today, Pastor Dan helps you see that remembering those challenging circumstances allows you to recall that God got you through, and He’ll do it again.
