We all have that favorite song that we can sing off the top of our heads, without having to think of the words. What is a song that you can sing by heart, without having to think about the lyrics? Now, think about the words you might pray to God.  Do you start the same way every time, where it just comes out without thinking about it? Has it become a routine without meaning? Today, Pastor Bill shares the importance of your prayers to God, which aren’t just empty words, but a meaningful conversation.

Motivations are a great thing. They can help us get things done. We can feel compelled to look good, so we work out.  We want to learn, so we study. We all have motivations. What is yours? What pushes you to do good things, or to get up in the morning, or work at becoming a better person? What rewards are you seeking, and from whom? In today’s message, Pastor Bill shares that being motivated to earn a reward from God is not a bad thing - when the intentions are in the right place.

Have you allowed your emotions to get the better of you in certain situations? It can be easy to allow your feelings to control you in stressful situations. How about other people? Think of a time where a person’s actions caused you to “act out of character.” A car cutting you off in traffic, someone yelling at you for missing a deadline, or your kids not listening to you – are just a few examples. Today, Pastor Bill shares how you can rely on God to help you respond kindly to others, even when they are unkind to you.

The videos you see online of a person doing a thoughtful deed for another can be heartwarming.  It’s uplifting to see good things being done for others.  What’s the outcome if that nice deed gets met with hatred by the one receiving it? The giver might get upset, angry, or want the kind deed to be taken back. That feeling was justified, because what you saw was wrong and evil. Today, Pastor Bill shares how hard it is to do something nice when a person might do evil in return.  But God will work it out for your good!

Have you heard the phrase, “You cannot love others until you learn to love yourself?” You might have heard this from a TV show, a self-help book, or a quote in a school building. This idea that you have to love yourself first, in order to love others, might not mean what you think it means. You get so focused on yourself that you forget how to love the people in your life.  Today, Pastor Bill teaches that God does not tell you to love yourself; rather, He calls you to love others more than yourself.
