One of the easiest ways to avoid spreading false rumors about someone is to bring things up with them in private. By taking the hard step to talk to your neighbor about an offense or a disagreement, you give yourself and your neighbor the opportunity to understand each other, and to get ahead of any potential conflict that the enemy may be trying to draw out of you. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the work is worth it, the stronger bond between believers strengthens the whole Body.

To Satan, you’re nothing more than a pawn. He doesn’t care about you, but he wants to use you to sow division within the body of Christ. And Pastor Jeff reminds you that the enemy will pit you against those closest to you, to split up families and friends. Because when believers are isolated from each other, it is easier for them to fall away from the path of Jesus, and back into lives of sin. When you feel like you’re being pitted against someone close to you, pray to the Lord for wisdom.

Do you remember what your life was like before you knew Christ? Did you feel the pull that Jesus had on your life, the people that He placed in your path to lead you to a relationship with Him? Well, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you may be part of God’s plan to bring someone else into the flock of Christ. You can’t know how or when it’s going to happen, but the important thing is for you to be open and willing to obey God when the time comes. He will prompt you through the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever had a puppy follow you around everywhere you go? Even when you try to use the bathroom or leave the house, the puppy never wants to leave your side. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that in many ways, Jesus pursues you like an affectionate pet, but instead of Him needing something from you, He stays with you because you need something from Him. The presence of Jesus is what fuels the Christian life, what allows you to be a faithful follower even in challenging times.

Nowhere in Scripture does it say that the Christian life is going to be easy? In fact, there are many examples in the Bible of people suffering and even dying for their faith. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that God gives you the strength to not only endure the trials but to thrive and even grow because of them. When you are weary and beaten down by the world, remember that God is on your side, and look to Him for relief. He doesn’t promise an easy path, but He does promise to be your helper.

Of all the religions in the world, there is only one that worships a living, breathing God: Christianity. Even when there’s a living prophet or “guru,” they themselves always die. Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to worship a God who’s alive and never passing away, give your heart to Jesus. There’s no prophet, statue, or golden plates from the forest that will save you, only the perfect grace of God can. Let Him save you from yourself and be set free from your past.

Have you been comfortable with sitting on the sidelines? Have you been getting used to waiting in the wings instead of putting in the work for God’s kingdom? In today’s message from Pastor Jeff, he shows you the dire importance of being on the field for Jesus. He doesn’t want the army reserves, He wants active soldiers, battle-tested in the spiritual trenches. Change the trajectory of your life by being intentional about God’s gospel. Stop waiting for things to change and alter the course of your life right now.

Do you have the courage to lay down your life for the Gospel? Well, Pastor Jeff thinks it’s a pretty difficult thing for anyone to be willing to do. But the courage that Jesus gives you is strong enough to overcome any punishment or consequence mankind can dream up. Fear comes from the enemy, and Satan would like no more than for you to cower and hide away from opposition, so that your light may be hidden. But Jesus wants your light to shine bright in a dark world, no matter the cost or danger.

What does Pastor Jeff mean when he calls the Bible a great sword but a terrible club? It means that Scripture is great for teaching and correction, but shouldn’t be used for personal arguments or to win an argument out of anger. God’s word is much too valuable to be used to tear down your neighbor. Rather, you should be going into God’s word alongside your neighbor, and finding ways to build each other up. Your fight isn’t against flesh and blood but against the forces of evil.

Are you ever typing something on your phone, and notice that your phone is suggesting the next word that you would usually type? Sometimes you can keep selecting the recommended word until you have a complete sentence. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that humans have a tendency to complete other people’s thoughts when in an argument. But you may assume the worst of their words before they even say anything, and make the argument even worse than it was going to be.

Your communities are a valuable target to the forces of evil. Satan would love nothing more than to infiltrate every single group of godly people and drive wedges between all of them, isolating believers and making them more likely to fall away from the path of righteousness. But Pastor Jeff gives you the tools today to not just identify Satan’s tactics, but how to fight back against the armies of hell. With the Holy Spirit on your side, you can be certain that Satan is fighting a battle that is already lost.

Did you know that even though you are saved, the Devil is still trying to control you? He is a tricky being and is always looking for windows by which he can sow doubt and confusion in your heart. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that unforgiveness is one of Satan’s most successful strategies, and that it has led to so much division and confusion in the Church throughout history. But by practicing forgiveness toward your neighbor, you can catch the devil in the act and shut him out of your heart.

In your walk with Christ, do you know the power that you have through the cross? Do you know that when Jesus rose from the dead it wasn’t just for a cool story? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you have unlimited power through God’s perfect grace. When you let Him into your heart, you inherited His power from defeating death. Don’t take this potential for granted and make a difference in the lives of others around. Stop being stagnant and be a vessel for God’s love.

Do you know where you stand in eternity? When you’ve moved on from this world, where are you headed and what do you plan on bringing with you? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to be saved from your past and move on from your mistakes, give your heart to Jesus. Everything on this earth will be dead and gone someday, but God’s grace will always remain. Stop wasting your time on lies that will fade away and invest in what matters most—eternity with Jesus.

You should always be quick to forgive your neighbor when they sin against you. Why is it so important to forgive? Pastor Jeff teaches today that a spirit of unforgiveness can fester, and over time it’ll take root in your soul and cause you to become bitter towards those around you. By swallowing your pride and forgiving those who have wronged you, you make the mature decision to no longer live in anger, but to live in forgiveness. You should forgive others just as Christ has forgiven you.

Have you ever tried to wash your hands with hot water but the water was too hot? Your instincts kick in and you flinch away from the heat. But once you add in cold water, the temperature becomes more bearable. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that having too hot of a tone of voice can cause people to react in anger, but if you take the time to cool your emotions and speak in a calm tone, you can diffuse a tense situation and have a mature conversation. It’s all about controlling your feelings.

One tactic that is common when people get into conflict is to try to put the other person under an avalanche of arguments, to bury them in things so that they have no choice but to give up. Oftentimes both sides will attempt to overwhelm each other, and the argument will pivot away from the root disagreement. Pastor Jeff reminds you today to stay focused, and address the original issue with patience and love. Once you start an avalanche, you may not be able to stop it before someone gets hurt.

Our human response to conflict is to immediately get on the defensive and try to win the argument at any cost. It’s our survival instinct kicking in. But Pastor Jeff teaches us today that God’s will is for us to set aside our basic instincts and instead, choose the righteous path; to slow down and take the time to think before diving into an argument with someone. It takes time and patience to re-train our minds, but it will always be worth the effort. Reconciliation is a more desirable outcome than conflict.

Do you believe in absolute truth? Is there anything that you can trust in - to be 100% true? Well, the Word of God is the only thing that meets that criteria. Anything else you read or hear is subject to the corruption of sinful thoughts and intentions. Pastor Jeff reminds you today to trust in God’s Word over any other teaching you hear, because it’s impossible to separate the most well-intentioned teachers from their sinful nature. Only Jesus, who didn’t inherit the burden of sin, is perfectly trustworthy.

When you accepted Jesus into your heart, did you realize that it’s not all up to Him? Have you been on the sidelines, waiting for God to call your number? Or maybe you’re in the game ignoring God when He pulls out you? Today in his message, Pastor Jeff explains that if you want to grow in your connection with God, you need to be intentional about putting in the work. No, God doesn’t need you to help with His plans, instead, He simply needs you to show initiative. Set a fire for the sake of God’s gospel.

In your faith journey, do you let faith guide your path? Do you listen to God’s calling for your life and spring into action? Or do you let it pass you by? Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you need to always be on call for the cause of God’s kingdom. If you’re not living out the plan that He has in store for you, you’re missing massive growth in your relationship with Him. Stay true to the great commission and serve the Lord relentlessly. Be a beacon of change for God’s Kingdom.

One of the ways that New Age belief systems draw in Christians is their use of Christian language. Even the Jehovah’s Witnesses worship the concept of Jesus, yet change things about His nature that contradict Scripture. Pastor Jeff teaches today that it is important for believers to pay attention to the details if they’re uncertain about a teaching they’re hearing. Little things like Jesus being a created being may seem insignificant, but they lead people down a path that leads away from God’s truth.

All of humanity is born into a sinful nature; our inheritance that can be traced all the way back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. We may not be born Christian, but by the grace of God, we have the opportunity to receive Jesus’ gift of salvation and be freed from the burden of our sin. Pastor Jeff teaches today that none of us are good on our own; we are only made “good” by the work of Jesus in us. The Holy Spirit changes us from the inside out. Without that, we are rotten and sinful to the core.

Who is Jesus to you? Who do you think He is? How much does your view of Jesus come from Scripture, and how much comes from your own perceptions and preconceptions? It’s a difficult task to fully rely on Scripture, but today Pastor Jeff implores you to make Scripture your only source about Him. Human interpretations of His character are destined to be flawed, and mischaracterizations of who He really is. If you’re not careful, you might put Jesus into a box, and create your own personal Jesus.

Make no mistake, a key component of Jesus’ salvation is that He died a sinless Savior. It’s because of this that the sacrifice of His blood was able to cover the cost of all the sins of humanity. Pastor Jeff reminds you in today’s message that any teaching that says that Jesus was a human who sinned undermines the message of the Gospel. A great price was paid to redeem you from the slavery of sin. Are you going to risk tarnishing that message by believing a false teacher, or do you trust Scripture?

How do you know that you’re living in the end times? The more and more you see people trying to discredit the dual nature of Jesus, you can be certain that the enemy is trying to undermine His authority on Earth. Pastor Jeff reminds you in today’s message to be on the lookout, and be wary of those who may try to distract you. Jesus tells you exactly who He is in the Gospels, so don’t take anyone else’s word for it. Jesus is fully man, fully God, the Savior of the world, and the Prince of Peace.

He wants nothing more than to shine His grace into your life and all you need to do is accept His gift. There’s nothing that you could ever do to save yourself. Leave your burdens at the feet of Jesus and be forever changed.

In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you need to leave your worries at the door and let God do mighty things in your life. Be His hands and feet and let Him work in and through you to bring His kingdom to the world. Never stop pursuing the heart of Jesus and experience a fresh renewal in your faith. Listen to His still, soft voice.

When’s the last time you told God something He didn’t already know? If you answered anything but “never,” you probably haven’t been paying attention while reading your Bible! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff uses the story of Lazarus to show that Jesus was omniscient, even on Earth. Why is that important? Because it is vital for Christians to believe that Jesus retained His full power while in human form. He took on human nature, in addition to His divine nature. He was fully human, and fully God.

Jesus isn’t just the Messiah, but He is also the embodiment of the Word of God! The Bible teaches that all of Creation was breathed into being by God’s Word, by Jesus Christ. That also means that every person on the planet is God’s creation, uniquely and wonderfully made by Jesus. Pastor Jeff wants you to know today that without Jesus, without Him being who He says He is, nothing in the world would exist, including the spiritual forces that are battling behind the scenes of the visible world.

Who is Jesus to you? Unfortunately, it is all too easy to be confused about the nature of Jesus in today’s society. But in today’s message, Pastor Jeff takes a stand against deception and uncertainty and wants you to know exactly who Jesus really is. As your picture of Jesus becomes clearer and more defined, you will have the ability to discern and run from false teachers. Now more than ever, it is important to understand what Scripture says and doesn’t say about Jesus, and why He came to Earth.
