May 1100:26:00Tap to summarizeNowadays, whenever I go into a public space and see children disrespecting their parents or causing a ruckus, I always feel so grateful for the way I was raised. I have always learned to respect my parents and others' well-being in public. In today’s message, Pastor Dan emphasizes the commandment to honor your mother and father. Respect starts with the parents, who teach it to kids, who then grow into adulthood. Parenting is hard, but the harder you work earlier on, the easier it becomes later in life for you.

May 800:26:00Tap to summarizeThe one thing most of us share with our families is our genetics. Our genetics are what make families look like… well… family. When one family member has brown hair, that person’s child will most likely have brown hair as well. In today’s message, Pastor Dan tells you that when you accept Christ, blessings will be passed down generation to generation. So that your kids will have the same benefits. If your family hasn’t accepted Christ, that’s okay! You still have the opportunity to choose Him and make Him Lord!

May 700:26:00Tap to summarizeHave you ever been in a situation where you got SO embarrassed that you didn’t want to ever go back again? It’s truly so humiliating to go back to a place where all you felt was shame. Have you felt that way with God? In today’s message, Pastor Dan tells you that even if you’re afraid to go back to church from shame or guilt, remember that you will ALWAYS be welcomed back home by Him. He will never leave you, no matter how far you run. You will be shown mercy and love EVERY time you come back.

May 600:26:00Tap to summarizeWhenever you make an omelet, you break open a few eggs. You might throw in some crushed garlic or cut up onions. There may even be some bacon bits fresh off the heat, or spinach that’s been bruised and wilted. Each ingredient has been through it, haven’t they? Today, Pastor Dan teaches that your life may be full of ingredients of brokenness. You may have been crushed or bruised. However, when you’re feeling scrambled, God is ready to form you into something new and beautiful, leaning into your brokenness.

May 500:26:00Tap to summarizeNot many people realize that the time of day when they are most dehydrated is right when they wake up. Our consciousness skips from evening to morning, but our bodies have gone eight hours without a drop. In today’s message, Pastor Dan teaches the importance of being hydrated by the Living Water first thing in the morning. He teaches that, as a parent, you need to make sure your children’s thirst is quenched just as much as yours. When you start the day hydrated, everything will change.

May 400:26:00Tap to summarize“I'm starting with the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. No message could have been any clearer. If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a change.” In today’s message, Pastor Dan teaches that, like the words to this popular Michael Jackson song, we often stand in the way of change in our own lives, becoming our own worst enemy. If you want to see your relationship with Jesus grow, don’t let the man in the mirror be the one who smothers the flame.

May 100:26:00Tap to summarizeIt’s amazing the different family dynamics we can see around us. Some spouses are absolutely in love after 58 years of marriage, and others resent each other after only two. When we begin to model our lives after that of Christ, we begin to love others in the same way Christ does, leading to relationships that flourish and last. In today’s message, Pastor Dan teaches that if you seek God, your life will get better… not easier, but better. When you do, you will become more patient, gentle, kind, loving, and more.

Apr 3000:26:00Tap to summarizePeople often say history repeats itself. I mean, think about it… Kingdoms rise and fall. Celebrities come and go. Plagues sweep through populations, and people set monumental records. New inventions completely rattle society, and the deaths of prominent figures cause collective mourning. In today’s message, Pastor Dan teaches that God has a way of using the past to equip you for the future. When you are faced with a trial, think back to a time God has helped you in the past, and know He can do it again.

Apr 2900:26:00Tap to summarizeAfter Thomas Edison had famously invented the lightbulb, he said the following: “I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Edison didn’t let his past hinder him. Instead, he let his past inform him. Today, Pastor Dan challenges you to do the same. How has God been faithful to your past and delivered you from hard times? Do you think He could do it again? God will use your past to shape and mold you, helping you to overcome future challenges while relying on His strength.

Apr 2800:26:00Tap to summarizeDo you believe in the Word of God? Was God telling the truth when God told Abraham and Sarah they’d have children at such an old age? Do you think that a lowly shepherd boy became king of Israel? In today’s message, Pastor Dan teaches that the Bible is full of promises that God has fulfilled. So, if that’s the case, do you believe God when He says you are loved? Do you trust Him when He says you are a coheir with Christ? Could He possibly be telling the truth when He says that you are free from your sins?
