In celebrating the birth of Jesus, we review the true meaning of Christmas and the length of God's love. When God sent His only Son into the world, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Discover more about the meaning of Christmas and celebrate with us.
Christmas is the time of year we celebrate the incarnation of the second person of deity into the bloodline of humanity. Who is this Jesus, born of a virgin over 2000 years ago? Discover more about the Song of God, the Song of man, the Savior of the world.
Understanding God's divine love for us solves life's problems. It is the driving force behind faith. It lifts our self-image because of the way God views each person. Discover more about God's love and its affect in your life.

Jesus is the manifestation of God's love in the earth. He demonstrated the divine agape love of God. And then he charged all who would follow him to do the same. Discover more about God's love during the Christmas season.
What would the Christmas story look like if you take away Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the angels, and the wise men? John's gospel describes it exactly like that. The love of God was perfectly displayed by the incarnation of the Word of God into human flesh.
Just like an Intelligence Quotient, our Gratitude Quotient can be assessed. By recognizing what Jesus has done and by putting action to our gratitude, we can demonstrate our thanksgiving before God and man. What does communion mean to you?
What price can be paid for one human life? And what is the ransom that could rescue all of humanity from eternal separation from God? O the blood of Jesus! Discover more about how precious is the blood that saved you!
Though Jesus has already done all that God can do to set us free from sin, sickness, death, and condemnation, it's up to us to walk in this deliverance. A thankful heart equips us to recognize what God has done through Christ and to live out His work through our lives.
Jesus was thankful; and his thanksgiving connected the spiritual to the material. Join us in this study of giving thanks as we look at the first two of four things for which to give God thanks.
In the last days, a trend among people will be unthankful attitudes and a lack of appreciation. The apostle John wanted the readers of his gospel to know two things: Jesus was thankful, and being thankful connects the spiritual with the material.
The greatest freedom offered to humanity is not political, national, or social freedom. Jesus paid the greatest price so that we can walk in spiritual freedom. Discover more about this truth, and the sacrifice that should move us to serve God daily.
The extent to which we have been forgiven should be the extent that we offer forgiveness to others. Jesus was very clear in his teaching in Matthew 18 on the parable of the unforgiving servant. Discover more about allowing God's forgiveness to flow through you to others.
God desires and wills that all people come into the knowledge of the truth. He wants each of us to know Him, but we must prepare ourselves to meet Him.
Jesus is the lover of our souls, and he never gives up on us. He uses the Holy Spirit to encourage us. If we desire a spiritual harvest, we can't weary of sowing to the Spirit.
Jesus demonstrated in his ministry the perfect will of the Father. He healed more people in one week than in 4000 years of Old Testament history. Discover more about the work of healing as demonstrated in the New Testament.
God desires His people to be set apart for Him. There are things to flee from, to seek after, to fight for, to be faithful to. Discover more about the consecrated life in this teaching.
Is there life after death? Jesus told the story of the rich man and Lazarus to very visually depict what happens once a person dies. Discover more about this true story.

It is easy for each of us to attempt to fulfill God's call on our lives in our own power or ability. But if Jesus, the Son of God, needed to walk by the power of the Holy Spirit, how much more should we overcome every obstacle by the divine empowering of God?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, it is the evidence of things unseen. We as Christians are motivated by the unseen realm; we look not to the seen but to the unseen. Discover more about walking a lifestyle of faith before God.
Everyone faces challenges in life. Unless we learn how to effectively deal with those challenges, we can be overcome by our emotions. Discover more about walking in true salvation with a refreshing in the anointing of God.
Continuing from Wednesday's message, Pastor gives detail as to God's perspective on what sickness is and the priority of healing in the lives of His people.
Dealing with the subject of supernatural healing, Pastor Bill focuses on God's view of our bodies as His holy temple. God wants us to live healthy, healed lives!
Unity within the body of Christ is a strong force against which Satan cannot prevail. In this message, Pastor Bill describes four ways that we can achieve unity in the Church.
Our words are containers of life or death. Our words can affect the world, other believers, ourselves, and the enemy.
When Jesus prayed for his disciples and for all believers who would come later, he specifically asked the Father that they (we) walk in unity. If Jesus thought it important enough to pray about, shouldn't we also desire unity in the church? Discover more about these four benefits of walking in unity.
What do angels do? What is our interaction with angels? What is the difference between an angel and a fallen angel? Discover more about the activities of angels in heaven and on the earth through this message.
How can we walk as Jesus walked if we aren't aware of how He walked Himself? The apostle John told us to "walk even as Jesus walked;" discover more about 'raising the bar' in your life to walk as Jesus did.
Obedience is better than sacrifice. It is better to obey God in the first place than to make the appropriate sacrifice and atone for the mistake. In our walk with God, He expects us to obey the Words He gives us. Why? Not out of legalism, but because we love Him.
In the last days, there will be an increased outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all flesh. In today's message, discover six manifestations of the Holy Spirit that we can expect in these last day.
Why are angels on the earth? How do we benefit from them, and how can we better activate them in our lives? Pastor describes the biblical function of angels in the lives of believers in both Old and New Testaments. Discover more about how to activate your angels in this teaching.
Being a witness for Jesus Christ is our highest call. To witness is to furnish evidence or give a first-hand account of something seen, heard, or experienced. Discover more about being a witness for Jesus in your daily walk and lifestyle in regards to your walk with God.
In living this Christian life, we must be aware of the spiritual forces that are at work around us. In this message, Pastor discusses the affect that demons and angels have on people, and how you can resist the one, and give access to the other. Discover more about "the supernatural."
As we learn to walk more closely with God, we realize his eternal plan and purpose for mankind. Part of that includes the end of this age, and the rapture of the church. Learn more about God's plan for you and the two paths we all must choose between.
In our walk with God, there are examples set for us for what TO DO and what NOT TO DO. Join us in this message as we study both the blessed man (Psalm 1:1-6) and the prodigal son (Matthew 7:13-14) and the examples they set in how we walk with God.
Jesus said that there was no need to fast while the bridegroom was with the people. Why then do we need to fast today? What does fasting add to our prayer? Discover more about the New Testament fast and how it applies to us today.

The author of the book of Hebrews exhorts his readers to remember the six doctrines of Christ, that they may grow up in them- and beyond. In these last days, it is imperative that we exchange our ways and thoughts for the ways and thoughts of God; and to do so for the basic doctrines of our faith.
Jesus differentiates between man's entrance into the saving grace of God, and the lifestyle that is lived afterward. We can live before God forgiven, but still lose our effectiveness in our witness toward other people.
