What are the sacred things in your life that you have misused? Pastor Jeff teaches that the most sacred thing that people misuse is their bodies. When you fail to take care of your body, which is a gift from God, you can become spiritually distant from God. Taking care of your body, and watching what you put into it, is a form of worship to God. It’s a sign that you are a good steward of the gifts you have been given. Belshazzar was a poor steward of his body, and of the Temple vessels his...

You don’t just owe some part of your life to God, you owe Him everything! The entire world around you is His creation, His dominion. Pastor Jeff teaches that when you fail to give God praise and glory for the glory of His creation, He will not look on you with favor. In fact, that is why Nebuchadnezzar was struck with madness, because he believed that he himself was responsible for the glory of Babylon, instead of realizing that its prosperity and power were signs of God’s favor.

One of the great mysteries of God’s character is that He exists outside of time. He knew how the world was going to end while He was creating it. Everything that has happened in the past, is happening now, and has yet to come, is all known by the Lord from the beginning of time. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the gift of prophecy gives you a sneak peek into the way God sees all of Creation. When you are fearful of the future, be assured that God isn’t surprised by your struggles or worries.

If you watch how people act in public, you can usually tell what they worship. If someone’s attitude is always about getting money or hitting a new personal best at the gym, you’ll see the fruit of that worship in how they treat others. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that false gods aren’t the only idols that you may worship in your life. Money, political power, and even the pursuit of popularity in Christian culture can all become idols if they overshadow your worship of God. He deserves all...

Is the God you serve a real God or a figment of your imagination? You’d better figure that out while you still have time because Pastor Jeff reminds you that every other god besides the one true God is a false one, and they will leave you high and dry when you need them the most. Instead, look at the example of Daniel, who had been given the power to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream by the God of Israel. His faith in God set him apart from all of the king’s mystics and gave him the...

Standing up for what is right may not be an easy task. It’s like trying to swim upstream in a river, it feels like the whole world is trying to push you in the opposite direction. But Pastor Jeff encourages you today to stay the course. If you are really standing for the truth, God will be with you, and He will bless you even more down the road.

King Nebuchadnezzar was a wise, if evil, ruler. He knew that the way to truly conquer the nation of Israel was not just to take their land, but to squeeze out their culture by forcing them to assimilate into the pagan Babylonian society. Pastor Jeff shows you today how Nebuchadnezzar’s plan was to turn the young Jewish prodigies into his own servants and use those servants to influence the Jewish people. However, those young men were faithful to God and foiled the Babylonian king’s plan.

When’s the last time you felt your faith progress? When’s the last time you felt that excitement that you first felt when you originally gave your life to Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you of the importance of always being committed to growing your faith. When you don’t water the garden, you stop bearing fruit and it’s not enough for God to remain in neutral. Don’t just be a traffic cone for God’s kingdom.

In our faith journey, it’s easy to forget about the vast power of God’s mighty hand. When we’re stuck in our circumstances, how do we get out of our own way and into God’s arms?

Earthquakes, hurricanes, and all kinds of natural disasters can pommel a building and push its foundation to its limits. It takes lots of engineering to make a large building be stable. Well, Pastor Jeff warns you today that just like those buildings, your foundation will be tested as well. If you don’t build a strong foundation on the rock of Christ, you don’t stand a chance against what is coming your way. Only Jesus can give you a foundation strong enough to withstand the disasters of life.

The whole point of the Sermon on the Mount was for Jesus to show the people listening to Him how they could live a life that was pleasing to God, and how they needed a Savior to rescue them from the punishment of death and sin. When you build your life on the teachings of Jesus, you can withstand the storms and the struggles that the world will use to try and knock you down. But if you build your life on the sandy foundation you find in the world, you won’t be able to withstand those storms.

The day is coming when every person who has ever lived will stand before God to give an account of how they lived their life on Earth. Unfortunately, there are many who will point to their accomplishments and faithfulness as their reason why they should be allowed into Heaven, instead of acknowledging that the only thing that can buy their salvation is the blood of Jesus. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to get things twisted: your good works have no value on their own. You are saved by grace alone.

When you look at a famous Christian teacher on social media, what is their content primarily focused on? Pastor Jeff wants you to be aware of false prophets because, in this day, there are countless people trying to make a career by telling people how God wants them to live, without backing up their claims in Scripture. Instead, you should be looking to the Bible to read the words of Jesus for yourself and see what the Christian life is all about.  Don’t be led astray by a wolf in sheep’s...

Sin is a disease that has infected all of mankind, but it’s easy to point out the sin in other people’s lives without addressing what is going on in our own hearts.
