Have you ever tried to counsel a friend going through a tough time, and quoted a bit of Scripture that maybe only seemed slightly relevant? Pastor Bill warns you to be careful in those kinds of situations. If you begin to take Scripture out of context and apply it to situations where it doesn’t belong or make sense, you can do more harm than good, even though you’re using good tools. Instead, use the wisdom that you have gained from Scripture, and ask the Lord to give you the words to say.

Crazy! You’re in a Crazy World Still Praising God Part 2
May 17, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm
I think it’s safe to say that everyone’s gone down a rabbit hole of emotions. People tend to overthink and be anxious. They start wondering why their life gets harder and start talking to God. “Why are you doing this? What have I done to deserve this? Why me?” And just when it gets bad, they start to lose their faith in the Lord. But God never loses faith in you. You can be down on your worst luck, straying away from God, but the second you seek Him, He will find you! So today, Pastor Bill reminds you to rest in God.

A common misconception about Christianity is the belief in Hell. Some people believe in a place that only bad people go to, and others don’t believe in it at all. But the truth is that it’s real and that everyone deserves to go. You’re probably thinking, “That’s a little harsh. I haven’t done anything bad, so why am I so deserving of Hell?” Because everyone sins, and the punishment for sin is eternal separation from God. But God doesn’t want to be without you, so He offers His Grace and mercy. So today, Pastor Bill shares the truth.

If you’ve ever run a race, you know that you want to get the best time possible. So you’ll work your way up to your goal. You work out, eat right, and drink lots of water, but sometimes, you can forget to rest - an absence of rest can sometimes lead to burnout. And just like running a race, you need rest in the Lord. Sometimes, you end up running on fumes before you realize that your tank is empty. So in today’s message, Pastor Bill advises you to rest with and in the Lord because you may need it more than you think.
