October 4, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

There’s a fierce howling wind. Water is beginning to run under the doors. The windows are completely blurred by the rain. You’ve lost track of the time, and you can’t tell if it is day anymore, or if the light you see is from the deafening thunder. This image might seem terrifying and fill you with hopelessness, but in today’s message, Pastor Bill will teach you that hope in Jesus will fill you with joy instead. Life will have storms, but the storms will pass. Find peace beyond the storms.

In life, you are running a race. Sometimes you may feel like you are in first place, and sometimes you may feel like you are having to crawl inch-by-inch as the pavement digs into your hands and knees. In today’s message, you’ll learn from Pastor Bill that the fight to finish is worth the blood and tears… because the Great I Am – Jesus Christ – is waiting for you at the finish line. If you’re in a crawl, get on your feet. If you’re having to walk, begin to jog. Run your race with grit and determination.

Every day, you come into contact with tens, hundreds… even thousands of people. As a follower of Christ, you are called to share the Good News of Jesus’s death and resurrection with them. Not only that, Pastor Bill will teach that you are called to compel them to come to know Jesus. Sometimes, it may be uncomfortable. You may not want to step on any toes or trap people in a corner. As you’ll learn today, sometimes kicking the nest is required. Get a little uncomfortable. Their soul is at stake.

It doesn’t take very long to look around on city streets or social media to discover that there are many self-conscious people. You’ll find people altering their appearance, burying their emotions, or yelling at others as a way of portraying how they view themselves. We all do this in one form or another. Today, Pastor Bill teaches that, regardless of what you’ve done, there’s still someone who wants you. There’s still a way for you to get to Heaven. This way… this someone… His name is Jesus.

One of the most outstanding characteristics of Jesus is His humility. He is a perfect example of someone worthy of everything this world and heaven has to offer, yet He went out of His way to humble Himself to serve others. In today’s message, Pastor Bill encourages you to take on this trait… Don’t think of yourself as a VIP when you walk into a room. Think of yourself as someone there to serve the VIP. Not only will you impact someone else’s life, but the Father will reward your humility.

The world will always worry and worry…just about everything! The difficult thing for us is that the world tries to convince us that we need to be anxious as well.

Thankfully you can depend on a much more powerful and worthy God! One that never lets you down and ALWAYS provides what you need, when you need it!

In today’s message, Pastor Bill will show you precisely what that means and can look like for YOU! As an individual, not just for the broad spectrum of fruit for Christians.

September 25, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

A true and real encounter with our powerful God is like nothing you have ever or will ever experience! It is literally out of this world! A supernatural experience that has no explanation except that it was clearly our God! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will show you how in the Bible we see other people had experiences with Him and now we have stories upon stories of God’s greatness all over the Scriptures!

September 24, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

We find that in this world we NEED Jesus! We also find that we still indulge in the world daily, which in turn makes us need Jesus more…it’s a never-ending cycle of sin, and then seeking Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will encourage you to seek God first! Leave the world in the rearview mirror, deny yourself of what your flesh wants, and run after God FULL heartedly! If you truly want to hear God and be in a meaningful relationship with Him then you must pick up your cross every single day!

There are a lot of different voices practically yelling at us trying to get our attention in this world. Maybe it’s just society, our finances, our relationships, whatever it may be for you, there is always something desperately trying to pull our attention off of God and onto the world. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will bring to your attention all those various voices and their not-so-good intentions. In a distracting world, try and focus on the ONE true voice that matters….Jesus’ voice!

In today’s message, Pastor Bill will challenge you to dig deeper into the Word and spread it generously amongst those you know…and don’t know!

September 19, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

No matter who you are, what you’ve done, or even what you’re going to do, God calls all His people to be fishermen of men and women… of ALL people! We’re all called to seek the lost and tell them the good news of Jesus Christ! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will suggest to you that reading stories in the Bible is SO important! But, the better you can understand and truly absorb what God has for you in those stories, the better Christian you’ll be… and therefore the better fisher-man you’ll be!

Being dogmatic on certain subjects is important. But, when it comes to spiritual things there is one very important factor that we must consider…Jesus! If we’re just being stubborn because we think we’re right, then we’re wrong. We can only be sure when Jesus tells us what’s right and wrong we can stand firm. In today’s message, Pastor Bill will remind you to ask for God’s guidance on what to stand strong on! Stop and ask yourself if it’s God’s will or your own as you advocate for what you believe!

When it comes to what the Bible is actually saying and what our faith truly means to us, it is crucial that we’re dogmatic! We need to stand up and be immovable on the things that really matter in our lives! In today’s message, Pastor Bill will actually encourage you to be stubborn! There are times and places where it IS important that we don’t just roll over and let other’s opinions change our view of God! The Lord has changed our lives forever, so it only makes sense that we stand up for that new life!
