Maverick Messages

We have all been given free will by God. He doesn't force us into anything, even His will. Sometimes, we complain about our choices, without realizing that we should be thankful that we have the priviledge to choose in the first place. Please enjoy "Choose Wisely" by Providence Baptist College alumnus, Pastor Keith Harrison.

All Christians have been given the code to get into heaven so that we can share it with others. We all know people who need to be saved, from coworkers to family members. They are looking for someone to tell them the code to get into heaven, and we have it! Share the good news with them! Please enjoy "I Have the Code" by Providence Baptist College alumnus, Bro. Steve Szwarga.

Going soul winning is a very important part of a Christian's life. However, going out, knocking on doors, and talking to people takes courage. There will be times when you may be persecuted for spreading the Word of God. Stephen and the other disciples were put through so many horrors because of their belief in Christ, but they all counted it joy! They were honored that the Lord would count them worthy of suffering for Him. If they were able to go out, regardless of the imminent danger that faced them, we can go out and not be afraid of rejection. Please enjoy "The Example of Stephen" by Providence Baptist College graduate, Bro. Jake Robideau.

We need to be willing to put away anything that slows us down in our Christian race. If you aren't going anywhere, you have no purpose. God has a goal for your life that you should be pressing towards! Don't let childish things weigh you down because you can't let go of them. Please enjoy "Putting Away Some Things" by Providence Baptist College Dean of Ministry, Bro. Don Ossewaarde.

There are people all around us who are starving for the truth of the Gospel. They long for their lives to have meaning, and are searching for anyone or anything that might be able to point them in the right direction. YOU have what they need! You have the good tidings that can help them escape the destruction that awaits them! These people don't have time to wait for you to keep making excuses about why you can't tell them about Jesus. Go! Before it's too late. Please enjoy "Good Tidings at Twilight" by Providence Baptist College alumnus, Pastor Terry Anglea.

Are you going through your Christian life leading with lazy? Are you failing to abound spiritually? Do you find it hard to apply the Word of God to yourself? If you aren't careful, you will find yourself so spiritually dry, that you'll be unable to fulfill God's will for your life. Please enjoy "Leading with Lazy" by Providence Baptist College graduate, Pastor Phil Cavanaugh.

In day to day life, it is so easy to make excuses to get out of doing God's will. You can convince yourself that it is too hard, that it will take too much work, or that you feel stuck. You can get angry and discouraged because you feel like this is more than you signed up for. If your perception of the will of God is wrong, you may end up ruining your life.  Please enjoy "Stop Making Excuses" by Providence Baptist College graduate and Dean of Men, Pastor Jeremy Huston.

Are you strong in your faith? Are your foundations rooted and built up so that they can withstand the storms of life? The Bible says we are to be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. A tree is established and firm. If your roots are not planted deep, you will fall when the first storm comes into your life. The Devil and the world want you to fall. They want to watch you walk away from God's will; and, unless you are founded on the Lord, they will get exactly what they want. Please enjoy "My Faith has Found a Resting Place" by Providence Baptist college alumnus Pastor Keith Harrison.

The bus ministry is a ministry everyone can be a part of. We are all unique, and have all been through unique situations that can be used to help others who are going through similar situations in their lives right now. If you choose to invest in the people who ride the bus to church, you will have the opportunity to help children and adults who, for the most part, don't have much. Often, they live their lives each and every day, wishing for someone to love them. You could be that person. Please enjoy "Loving the Bus Ministry" by Providence Baptist College alumnus and staff member, Bro. Phil Johnson.

How many times have you thought to yourself, "I need to get out of this dump"?Maybe, you feel like the Christian life is too hard, and you're tired of having to put up with all the rules, the accountability, etc. Maybe you're physically tired because of all the ministries you're involved in, and you just want to quit so you can finally relax.  However, what you don't see, is the shipwreck that is one wrong decision away. If you do decide to pack up and leave, you are no longer under the protection of being in God's will, and are left vulnerable to the attacks of the Devil.  Please enjoy "I'm Getting Out of This Dump" by Providence Baptist College Dean of Ministry, Bro. Don Ossewaarde.

Do you get nervous when you are witnessing to others? Do you convince yourself that you don't need to witness to some people because of where they live, or what they have, ect.? The truth is, everyone needs the Lord. He wants to use you to reach others for Him, but you have to be willing. Please enjoy listening to "The Immutable Law of Sowing and Reaping" by Providence Baptist College graduate and Dean of Men, Pastor Jeremy Huston.

Do you have accountability to the Bible? Do you act one way around other Christians, and another when you are by yourself or with worldly friends? Do you feel a sense of relief when you leave church because you can stop pretending to be so spiritual? You have to realize that you are walking on holy ground, anywhere you are. There should be no difference between how you walk at church and how you walk at home, because it is all holy ground. Please enjoy listening to "The Bush is Still not Burnt" by Pastor Phil Cavanaugh.

Whether it seems like it or not, the things we do makes a difference to God. Are the things you are doing pleasing to Him? When the Lord looks inside of your heart, does He find wickedness? Does the Lord smile down on you when He sees what you are doing with the time He has given you? Please enjoy listening to "Pleasing God" by Providence Baptist College Dean of Ministry, Bro. Don Ossewaarde.

It is very easy for a Christian to walk away from the Lord when he doesn't have a firm grip on the Word of God. Paul was put through countless trials, but he was able to push each and every one of them because he had such a strong, unwavering grip on the Lord. Please enjoy listening to "Get a Grip" by Providence Baptist College alumni, Pastor Cecil Ballard.

You are responsible for parenting yourself. You are responsible for getting your work done, for keeping track of your bills, and for setting up and sticking with your schedule. It is time to show some maturity, and bring some order into your life. Please enjoy listening to "Evening and Morning" by Providence Baptist College alumni, Pastor Terry Anglea.

There are going to be giants in your path as you go through life. You are going to have to face hardships that seem too difficult to go through. When you are struggling to find the courage to keep going, remember this: if you focus on the giant, the giant is all you will see. God is right there with you the whole time. All you have to do is keep your eyes on Him, and He will guide you through defeating that giant. Please enjoy listening to "Looking Past the Giant" by Providence Baptist College alumni, Pastor Keith Harrison.

Have you grown cold in your Christian life? Are you indifferent or apathetic? When was the last time you were brokenhearted over a lost soul? God is standing at the door, knocking. He's asking you to let Him in and allow Him keep the fire burning in your heart.  Please enjoy listening to this message about being lukewarm by Providence Baptist College graduate, Pastor Jay Griggs.

Why didn't I give Him more? Why didn't I give Him more, more or my life, more of my heart, more of my time? Why didn't I commit more of my mind and my meditation in life to Him and to His Word and to what He had for me?

Is there something in your life that is keeping you from hearing Him? Don't live like where you have been; live like where you are going.

When you look at your life, the life God has given you, what have you done with it? Our Father has given life and substance to his children, and for what He has given us, He deserves the glory in, and everything should go back to Him.

If it's new it's not for you. The world doesn't have anything to offer you. They'll try to sell you a bill of goods; don't buy in. Establish right now that you're not for sale.

The reason you cannot get over your bitterness is because you relive it over and over again in your life. Repetition is the key to learning and it is also the key to not forgetting and to bitterness. See things from God's perspective; understand He is working.

It's time to get back to the Source of true love. Repent, remember, renew, return and do what we know we're suppose to do.

Don't lose sight of Who supplies your needs and Who is the provider and sustainer of all. Never let finances get in the way of you staying in the ministry.

It's not falling apart; it's falling in to place.

How can we claim to be born again, yet, having been forgiven by Christ, we can't forgive others?

You want to be used? You'd better deal with that serpent; you'd better deal with that sin issue; you'd better deal with the surrender issue in your life.

Prepare, have a vision, and in your vision, have it for the future, where you're going and what you're going to do

When you get a hold of the goodness of God, it'll make a difference; acknowledge and show others God's goodness

God wants you to put Him first

Start being active for God now; don't wait for a better or more convenient time in the future
