The Power of Gratitude Part 2
1w agoTap to summarizeWhen we’re in the middle of a long and difficult journey, it can become difficult to have faith that we’ll make it to the other side. But in today’s message, Pastor Gary reminds us that if we have gratitude, we will have the hindsight needed to look back and see how God has gotten us this far. When the road ahead seems impossible, we should take a moment to think back on all of the ways that God has provided for us to that point, and be grateful in knowing that He will lead us the rest of the way.

2w agoTap to summarizeSometimes, when things don’t go our way, we begin to ask God why He doesn’t treat us fairly. After all, if we are faithfully serving Him, don’t we deserve to have some things go our way every once in a while? Well, Pastor Gary reminds you today that God’s greatest blessing is that He doesn’t treat you fairly. If you got what you deserved, you wouldn’t have access to the Holy Spirit, or to Jesus’ gift of forgiveness. The grace we’ve been shown is deeply unfair, and God offers it to us despite our uncleanliness.

3w agoTap to summarizeWe can start to believe we need the perfect conditions to serve God. That everything has to be steady, peaceful, and figured out first. So when life feels like a dark valley, we hesitate, thinking this can’t be the time. Pastor Gary will tell you today that God does some of His deepest work right in the valley. He isn’t waiting for things to improve before using you. And neither should you. Even in the middle of uncertainty, you can serve, trust, and take your next step, knowing He’s still working through you.

4w agoTap to summarizeFear has a way of sounding urgent, convincing you to move fast and run the other way. And that’s exactly how Satan works, using fear to distort what’s true and push you off course. Instead of standing firm, you’re tempted to retreat, to doubt, to hide. Today, Pastor Gary will challenge you to listen to God by explaining that fear and faith can’t lead at the same time. But you don’t have to follow fear. You can recognize the lie, stand on truth, and keep walking forward in the direction God is calling you.

Jul 3Tap to summarizeThe Bible doesn’t tell you to build your life on a firm foundation in case storms hit. It tells you that storms will hit. Everyone goes through a storm in life. They may face seasons of illness, relational problems, or financial struggles. Pastor Gary teaches today that if you waste your time building on a weak foundation, you won’t be able to overcome the storms when they come. It’s not too late to start building on the solid rock of God’s Word! That’s the only foundation that will keep you standing during any storm.

Jun 26Tap to summarizeThe enemy knows that he can’t discredit God’s Word! The Bible has stood the test of time, regardless of who tries to stand against it. But what the enemy tries to do now is discredit those who are spreading the Good News that we find in Scripture! Pastor Gary reminds you today that if you are more focused on discrediting the messenger than listening to the message being given, you have lost track of your priorities! God will use imperfect messengers to deliver His perfect Gospel!

Jun 19Tap to summarizeJesus tells us that there is no other way to get to Heaven except through Him. Our good works alone cannot atone for our sins. Pastor Gary reminds us today that even if we spend our time telling others about Jesus, but don’t have a relationship with Him, we will be left on the outside looking in. We have to ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins, and allow Him into our lives so that the Holy Spirit can make us into new creations. Our good works don’t give us access to God’s presence; Jesus does!

Jun 12Tap to summarizeWhat would have happened to the world if Jesus had decided not to go through with the Crucifixion? After all, the people who mocked Jesus as He hung on the cross had a point! At any time, Jesus could have said, “Actually, never mind!” and disappeared without fulfilling the task He had been sent to accomplish. Pastor Gary teaches you today that Jesus paid a high price for your salvation, and you owe a great debt that cannot be paid back. What Jesus asks for in return is your obedience and your faith.

Jun 5Tap to summarizeThere are many times in the Gospels where Jesus teaches us to follow His example. He teaches us how to pray, how to spread the Good News, and most importantly, how to serve others with a sacrificial heart. Pastor Gary teaches you today that in order to serve Jesus, you must be willing to submit yourself to serving those around you. The Lord doesn’t want you to serve others from a place of superiority, but from a place of humility, remembering that they are a beloved child of God, just like you!

May 29Tap to summarizePaul faced trials and persecution, but was still able to walk boldly with unwavering faith. What gave him that courage wasn’t his own strength, but the love of Christ working through him. Pastor Gary teaches you today that when you truly understand Christ’s love, fear begins to lose its grip on you. Paul trusted that whatever God allowed in his life was an expression of His love, not His rejection. Even in the face of death, he believed that the Lord’s plan was good. And that same assurance is available to you.
