In this, the era of COVID, masking, and social distancing, the practice of “doing” church is rapidly changing. Join Living Hope VA every Monday afternoon as Pastor Bill shares his unique biblical knowledge and how it applies to everyday living. Each episode contains valuable information on the Gospel of Jesus, the love of God, and how it empowers us to live in this rapidly changing, unpredictable world.

Welcome back to Living Hope Church! This week Pastor Bill shares how real family, both in the home and the church isn’t built on transactions but on covenant love. Drawing from Hezekiah’s story, we’re challenged to move from comfort to commitment and from consumer faith to Agape love that transforms lives.

In this message, Pastor Bill Francavilla reminds us that God’s family was never meant to look the same. Each of us has unique gifts, callings, and personalities — but all serve one purpose: to glorify God.

From Paul’s bold ministry to Ananias’ quiet obedience, we see that greatness in the Kingdom isn’t measured by fame but by faithfulness. Whether you’re a Paul preaching to the nations or an Ananias reaching one person at a time, your obedience matters.

Let’s stop comparing and start obeying — because one act of obedience can change a life.

The Rock: When the Flood Belongs to God | Pastor Bill Francavilla
Feeling overwhelmed by the noise and chaos of life? You’re not alone. In this powerful message, Pastor Bill shares how Isaiah 59:19 reveals the truth — the flood doesn’t belong to the enemy… it belongs to the Lord.

When the storms rise and the pressure hits, your strength won’t save you — your foundation will. Build your life on Jesus, the Rock, who doesn’t just calm the flood — He is the flood.

📖 Matthew 7:24–27 | Isaiah 59:19 | Luke 8:22–25 | Romans 8:31–39

“Are you building your life on the Rock—or on shifting sand? Discover how true freedom in Christ sets you free and equips you to set others free.”

The Rock: Free People, Free People
This week’s message from The Rock series dives into Isaiah 61 and Matthew 7, calling us to live truly anchored on Jesus Christ—the Rock of our salvation. Freedom in Christ is not just about heaven someday; it’s about walking unbound today.

Pastor challenges us to examine our foundations—are we building on the Rock or on shifting sand like money, politics, relationships, or fear? True freedom comes only through Jesus, and free people are called to set others free.

This message reminds us that the Church cannot remain apathetic in these last days. We are called to disciple, to shine as light in the darkness, and to be the hands and feet of Jesus. The question is: Are you living free? And if so, who are you helping to find that freedom?

In this sermon from our series The Rock, we explore what it means that Jesus is our solid foundation and our faithful provider. Drawing from Matthew 7:25, Exodus 20:17, and Genesis 22, we look at the danger of covetousness and the hope we find in God’s provision.

Abraham’s test with Isaac shows us a powerful truth: the Lord will provide. Just as God supplied a ram in place of Isaac, He has provided Jesus as the ultimate substitute for our sins. Where we broke God’s law, Jesus paid the price. He is our Rock, our Provider, and our Savior.

If you’ve ever struggled with envy, discontentment, or the temptation to trust in prosperity rather than God, this message will encourage you to rest in Christ alone. On Christ the solid Rock we stand—all other ground is sinking sand.

Topics Covered:

God as our Rock and foundation (Matthew 7:25)

The sin of covetousness (Exodus 20:17)

False prosperity gospel vs. true provision

Abraham and Isaac: “The Lord will Provide” (Genesis 22)

Jesus as our substitute and Savior

We live in a world full of stress—finances, jobs, family, health, politics, and even the little things like unread notifications or Netflix choices. But while stress is unavoidable, where we take it makes all the difference.

In this message, we explore what Scripture says about dealing with stress and worry. From Moses calling God “The Rock” in Deuteronomy, to David finding refuge in the Psalms, and ultimately to Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount, we’re reminded that God alone is our firm foundation.

True peace doesn’t come from ignoring problems or temporary fixes—it comes from anchoring our lives in Jesus Christ, our Rock and our Salvation.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, this message will point you back to the One who never moves.

Welcome back to Living Hope Church! Join us as Pastor Matt Brummett brings this week’s message, which picks up where we left off from last week. God has breathed His Spirit into us and raised us as His army. But before we can rush into battle, we have to train. Too many times the people of God end up as dry bones again because they weren’t ready, they weren’t equipped.

That’s why Paul in Ephesians 6 tells us to be strong in the Lord before putting on the armor. Just like a soldier doesn’t grab his sword without first learning how to fight, we can’t just wear armor without training in God’s Word, prayer, and faith.

So this week is about lacing up your boots. Always being ready. Practicing the Word. Walking in the Spirit daily. Because when the enemy comes and he will, you don’t want to just look like a soldier, you want to fight like one.

From Ezekiel 37, Pastor Matt unpacks three stages of spiritual life—dead, looking alive, and truly alive in Christ. Learn the signs, the dangers, and how God’s breath can revive your spirit.

Part 12 of Don't Miss Out Series!

Welcome to Living Hope Church! These podcasts are our weekly Sunday sermons. We hope you enjoy them.

Hello again and welcome back to Living Hope church! We kick this weeks service off with testimonies from campers, and powerful truths. This special Sunday at Living Hope Church highlights the power and purpose behind investing in the next generation. After returning from a life-changing week at Camp Michindoh, Pastor Bill Francavilla shares reflections from the journey, stories from camp, and a fresh look at Psalm 119—specifically the stanza beginning with the Hebrew letter Bet, meaning "house" or "dwelling."

Through the stories of Moses and Joshua, Psalm 119, and the call of Deuteronomy 6, we’re reminded that we are called to build more than programs—we're building spiritual homes for God’s presence to dwell from generation to generation. Whether you're a parent, leader, or someone wondering if you have something to give—this message is a call to legacy, purpose, and passing the baton of faith well.

Hang in there for the end for Pastor Matt Brummett to share his personal experience of camp and the reason as to why we should FULLY obey what God tells us.

Welcome back to Living Hope Church! Join us as Pastor Jessica Francavilla takes through this weeks sermon!

In a world that equates rest with escapism, God offers something deeper—true restoration. This week’s message in our Don’t Miss Out series invites us to stop settling for the world’s version of rest and start embracing the supernatural restoration only found in Christ.

Are you tired, overstimulated, or spiritually dry? This sermon explores the biblical rhythm of rest, the danger of disconnection, and God’s design for healing through His presence and His people. From Genesis to Hebrews, we discover that rest isn’t inactivity—it’s intentional reconnection. And it’s not just personal; restoration happens in community.

Don’t miss this powerful call back to soul-level rest, rooted in Jesus and lived out in the body of Christ. If you've been feeling worn out, burned out, or simply running on empty—this message is for you.

📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 11:28–30, Genesis 2:2–3, Hebrews 4, Galatians 6, Psalm 23
🎯 Main Theme: The world offers escape. God offers restoration.
💬 “You weren’t made to be constantly ‘on.’ You were made to rest. You were made to be restored.”

In this week’s message from our Don't Miss Out series, Pastor Bill Francavilla shares a timely and challenging word on one of the most overlooked spiritual virtues in today’s fast-paced world: patience.

As we continue exploring our updated core values Love, Discipleship, and Family. We’re reminded that impatience robs us of deep relationships, spiritual growth, and moments of healing. From ancient wisdom in Proverbs and Paul’s exhortation in Ephesians to the parable found only in the Gospel of Mark, we see how God does some of His greatest work in the waiting.

Through Scripture, real-life frustrations and the story of Simeon waiting to see the Messiah, this sermon invites us to trust God’s timing, even when it doesn’t make sense. Because spiritual maturity doesn’t come through shortcuts, and kingdom growth doesn’t happen overnight.

Don’t miss what God is doing in the delay.
Don’t miss out on the formation that comes through faithful waiting.

📖 Main Texts: Proverbs 14:29, Ephesians 4:31–32, Mark 4:26–29, Luke 2:25–35
📌 Core Value Highlight: Patience as an expression of Love, Discipleship, and Family

Hello, and welcome back to Living Hope Church! We are so glad you have decided to join us today. We hope you enjoy this Independence Day message that challenges us to reflect on the true source of freedom. Not government, power, or prosperity, but Jesus Christ. Drawing from Daniel 3 and stories of American faith and sacrifice, Pastor Bill Francavilla explores how real freedom means standing firm even when the world demands we bow. Are we living free in Christ, or settling for a counterfeit? “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36)

Welcome to Living Hope Church! These podcasts are our weekly Sunday sermons. We hope you enjoy them.

In this eye-opening message from our “Don’t Miss Out” series, Pastor Bill Francavilla takes a bold step into the future examining how technology, the internet, and AI (including tools like ChatGPT) are shaping our lives, relationships, and even our faith.

Drawing from scripture and personal stories, we explore:

How innovations like air conditioning and Amazon can be blessings

The hidden dangers of digital convenience, distraction, and dependence

Why every advancement must be mastered or it will master us

What the Bible teaches about wisdom, rest, and resisting spiritual brain fatigue

And how we as the people of God can embrace technology without losing intimacy with Him

📖 From Deuteronomy and Proverbs to the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10, this message challenges us to fix our eyes forward, guard our hearts, and not trade eternal treasure for temporary convenience.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by screens, social media, or artificial intelligence—or wondered how faith fits into a tech-driven world this sermon is for you.

Welcome to Living Hope Church! These podcasts are our weekly Sunday sermons. We hope you enjoy them.

This special Father’s Day message honors the role of fatherhood by looking at three powerful but often overlooked dads in Scripture Job, Manoah, and Zebedee.

📖 Job was a father who prayed, interceding daily for his children even when nothing seemed wrong.
📖 Manoah was a father who sought God’s guidance, humbly asking the Lord to teach him how to raise the child he was given.
📖 Zebedee was a father who let go, releasing his sons to follow Jesus, trusting God's calling above his own plans.

Through their examples, we’re challenged to step up in prayer, seek wisdom, and surrender control whether we’re parents, spouses, or children ourselves.

💬 Whether your earthly father was a hero or a heartache, today’s message is a call to look to our Heavenly Father the One who never fails and become people who shape the next generation not just with our words, but with our walk.

What’s the difference between judgment and correction—and why does it matter in our walk with Christ?

In this message, Pastor Matt Brummett @TheMarinatedLife explores how Scripture defines and differentiates judgment and correction. Using the stories of the Good Samaritan, Nathan and David, and Jesus’ restoration of Peter, we contrast prideful condemnation with loving, biblical guidance.

✅ Judgment tears down.
✅ Correction builds up.
✅ Judgment points a finger.
✅ Correction offers a hand.

We’ll discuss how to reflect God’s heart by correcting with grace not harshness and how to receive correction as a blessing, not a burden. This message calls believers to live with humility, love, and truth in every relationship.

In this powerful message, we continue our series on Living Hope Church's core values: Love, Discipleship, and Family. We explore what it truly means to not miss out on the spiritual blessings God offers through authentic relationships.

Through the testimony of Jason Freeman grandson of Charles Manson, we witness how one man broke the chain of generational trauma through faith, love, and intentional discipleship. We also dive deep into the biblical story of Jacob, Joseph, and their family legacy, unpacking how dysfunction can be redeemed when one generation decides to follow God wholeheartedly.

This message reminds us that curses can be broken, relationships can be restored, and no past is too dark for the light of Christ.

📖 Key Scriptures: Genesis 27 & 48, Exodus 20, 2 Corinthians 5:18, John 8:36, Romans 12
💬 Core Message: God's love is bigger than our past. Don’t miss out on the healing power of His family.

In this message, we explore what it truly means to receive comfort from the Holy Spirit, our promised Advocate and Helper. At Living Hope, our mission is to love authentically, disciple deeply, and live as a true church family. But have we been missing God’s comfort in the process?

Discover how:

We often seek comfort in things that don’t satisfy; phones, food, work, or distraction.

The Holy Spirit is the only source of true comfort, promised by Jesus in John 14.

God’s nurturing heart is shown through powerful, maternal images in Scripture.

Biblical figures like Hagar and Elijah were met by God in their wilderness moments with tender care and healing.

The Holy Spirit not only comforts us individually but works through the church to bring healing and hope.

We also take time for inner healing, reflecting on wounds related to motherhood and learning practical ways to daily invite the Comforter into our lives.

📖 Key Scriptures: John 14:16-17, Isaiah 66:13, Genesis 16, 1 Kings 19, Romans 5:5, 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

✨ Be reminded: Don’t miss out on the Comforter. His love is fierce, His presence is healing, and His Church is a place of real comfort.

Welcome back to Living Hope Church, we are so glad you have chosen to join us! In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor Bill Francavilla walks us through the incredible truth of the Gospel. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who came in humility, lived in power, died willingly, and rose victoriously.

This sermon wraps up our twelve-week series, “Whose Kingdom Is This?”, where we’ve explored the life of King David in parallel with the life of Jesus. Through Scripture, storytelling, and deep reflection, Pastor Bill reveals how Jesus, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, is the only one truly worthy of reigning over our lives.

From the Garden of Gethsemane to the cross, and ultimately to the empty tomb, this message reminds us that salvation isn't about what we can do for God, but who He is shaping us to become through His grace.

Whether you're new to faith or need a reminder of the power of the resurrection, this message will stir your heart and point your eyes to the only Kingdom that truly lasts, His.

📖 Key Texts: John 18, Ephesians 1, Psalm 22

In one of the most heartfelt messages of our longest-running series, Pastor Bill Francavilla guides us in the exploration of the powerful parallels between King David and Jesus as we reflect on Palm Sunday. From David’s legacy of preparation for Solomon to Jesus preparing His disciples for His death, we’re reminded of the importance of readiness, both practical and spiritual.

This message draws from Psalm 39, 1 Chronicles 22, and John 12 & 14 to show how both David and Jesus made intentional efforts to equip those they loved. As David gathered materials and gave wisdom for the building of the temple, Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit, the Counselor and the Peace that surpasses understanding.

We’re called to live prepared not in fear, but in wisdom and faith. Join us as we celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and reflect on what it means to be prepared for what’s next.

The Power of the Question…Who Do You Say that I Am?
We all have questions. Questions shape our understanding, reveal our hearts, and unlock revelation. Today, we'll explore the power of questions, particularly the questions Jesus asked, and the pivotal question He poses to each of us: "Who do you say that I am?" Because how we perceive the Kingdom of God directly impacts how we experience it.

Welcome back to Living Hope Church! Listen in as Pastor Bill Francavilla explores the theme of authority and accountability in the life of King David. After reaching the height of his power, David fell into sin—taking another man's wife and orchestrating a murder to cover it up. But God, in His mercy, sent the prophet Nathan to confront David, leading to his repentance.

We also discuss the importance of spiritual authority in our lives today. Many claim to answer only to God, but biblical examples—like Nathan with David and Isaiah with King Manasseh—show that God often speaks through others to keep us accountable.

Are we willing to listen when God uses people to correct us? Do we have wise counsel in our lives, or do we only seek voices that tell us what we want to hear?

Join us as we unpack 2 Samuel 12 and Proverbs 27:17, learning how iron sharpens iron in our faith walk.

Hello again, and welcome back to Living Hope Church. We are so blessed to have you with us today! Join us this week as Pastor Bill Francavilla brings another powerful message. We continue our journey through the life of King David, exploring his deep relationship with God as seen in Psalm 139—a stunning declaration of God’s omniscience, presence, and love. But just as David reaches the height of his spiritual intimacy, temptation enters the picture.

Looking at 2 Samuel 11, we examine how even the strongest can fall when they let their guard down. David’s sin with Bathsheba serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of unchecked pride, isolation, and temptation. Yet, through his downfall, we also see the power of repentance and God’s redemptive grace.

This sermon is a call to accountability, self-awareness, and a pursuit of holiness. Don’t miss this crucial message on how to stay vigilant in your faith!

Join us for an incredible message as we continue our sermon series on one of the most fascinating figures in the Bible—King David. Known as the original giant slayer and Israel’s second greatest king, David was a man after God’s own heart. In this message, we explore a pivotal moment in his journey: a divine test of patience, trust, and honor.

As David finds himself face-to-face with his greatest enemy, King Saul, he has the perfect opportunity to take the throne by force. But instead of seizing the moment for personal gain, David chooses faith over fear, trusting in God's perfect timing. This powerful story challenges us to consider how we respond to our own moments of testing—do we take matters into our own hands, or do we trust that God’s plan is greater than our own?

Don’t miss this deep dive into 1 Samuel 24 and the lessons we can learn from David’s unwavering faith. Be encouraged, be challenged, and most importantly, be reminded that God’s favor surrounds those who walk in obedience.

Join us as Pastor Bill Francavilla continues our series on the life of David, one of the greatest kings in history and a man after God's own heart. In this sermon, we explore the parallels between David and Jesus, focusing on David’s rise to prominence, the jealousy he faced from Saul, and how he turned to God in his darkest moments. Through David’s Psalms, we see an honest, raw relationship with God—one that teaches us how to bring our own struggles, fears, and emotions before Him.

We also reflect on Jesus' grief over the loss of John the Baptist and how even in sorrow, He remained steadfast in His mission. If you've ever wrestled with feeling unheard, alone, or overwhelmed, this message will encourage you to turn to God, who listens, cares, and never dismisses your prayers.

Hello and welcome back to Living Hope Church!! We are so glad you are watching with us today! Join us as Pastor Bill Francavilla continues his message on "Who's Kingdom is this". In this message, we continue our journey through the life of David and how it parallels the life of Jesus. We explore David’s rise in favor with God and man—just as Jesus did (Luke 2:52)—and what it means for us today.

David's transition from shepherd to warrior wasn’t instant; it was a process of obedience, faithfulness, and God’s unmerited favor. We’ll see how Jonathan recognized David as God’s anointed, how Saul responded with jealousy, and how David’s success only grew despite opposition.

Just like David, God calls us to be faithful in the small things before leading us into greater things. And just like Jesus' disciples, we must recognize who He truly is to walk in our destiny. Are we willing to trust God in the process?

The presence of Christ within us changes how we live daily. It empowers us to overcome disappointment, rely on His strength, and reflect His glory in our choices and relationships (Galatians 2:20).

The Hope of Future Glory
Our ultimate hope lies in Christ’s return and the glorious future He promises. This hope sustains us through trials, reminding us that our current sufferings are incomparable to the glory to come (Romans 8:18).

Through personal reflection, Scripture, and practical challenges, the sermon encourages us to live in the hope of Christ’s presence and share it with others. As we step into a new year, may this eternal hope shape how we think, act, and trust in God’s promises.

Takeaway: “Christ in you” is the greatest hope we have for 2025. Let this hope guide you, transform you, and be shared with those around you.

Welcome to Living Hope Church in Williamsburg, VA. At the beginning of the sermon, we were having some technical difficulties.

General synopsis of Pastor Jessica's statement at the beginning. The reason we march at the state level is because the battle for life is not yet over. While on the federal level, abortion protection shifted to the states. We are at a time now that abortion is becoming more and more prevalent because of the morning pill. You can purchase the morning pill at any CVS or Walgreens as well as many others without a prescription. This causes the mom to have an abortion earlier on in the pregnancy than ever before. We still need to fight for the lives of our children.

Join us this week as Pastor Bill Francavilla and his wife, Pastor Jessica emphasize the importance of spiritual family and church community. They discuss abortion as sin and how the church can support the unborn. We view the biological family as a God-given institution, but stress that the spiritual family of believers is even stronger. Drawing from examples in Acts, they call the church to devote themselves to fellowship, sharing possessions, caring for the needy, and living in unity like the early Christians did. Church members are all part of the body of Christ with different gifts that should be recognized and honored. The sermon stresses submitting to church leadership and resolving conflicts to maintain unity, as Christ is the true head that the church should conform to.

Pastor Bill shares a powerful and encouraging word that shows how God has the unique ability to equip us with the tools necessary to overcome any obstacle that seems insurmountable. Like with Gideon, a torch and a ram's horn was what it took to overcome a seemingly impossible feat. This message gives the inspiration and insight to take hold of those tools which may seem a little unusual and use them to defeat any challenge.

This message is for those who want to want to go deeper with their relationship with God and those who want to walk closer with Jesus. Pastor Bill reveals how the extra guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit can take believers to the next level with Him.

I have to believe that God looked high and low for a man with Joseph’s faith and willingness to serve in such a special capacity. He found Mary who basically said to God, “your will be done.” But could God find a man for her who could match that kind of faith? Could God find a man just as willing?

Let me ask every Bible believing follower of Jesus. How easy was it to believe when you first did? Things were revealed to you. The lights came on. Was it easy? Maybe it was. Could Jesus have made it easier?

There’s a distinct possibility that He could have.

Let’s face it, I can make a VERY compelling argument for a time when it is necessary and appropriate to praise our God. And it’s always time to praise our God! We always want to praise our God and glorify Him.

Except and listen to what I have to say.

Except when its not. Except when it’s time to be silent...Except when it’s appropriate to get one on one with our God and say, “It’s your turn to speak"

"I want to know God and serve God. I want fruit from my life, whatever prayer, whatever is happening in my life, whatever it takes, where you can get the most fruit, the most good. Lord, when I start kicking and screaming remember this prayer…and he does."

Gossip is a nasty thing, wouldn’t you say? I’m not going to ask who in here has ever partaken in gossip because last week we could laugh a little about lying but there is something a little darker about gossip.

"Here’s the thing – if you declare Jesus as your savior – good news, you are powerful. You have choices to make and you have the power of Holy Spirit to guide you. If you are telling lies, believing lies and living a lie – guess what you CAN overcome this with Holy Spirit help."

"Are we allowed to judge people? We are judgmental by nature. And on top of that, the world will all but tell us that are just forbidden to judge anyone no matter what decision they made. It’s not a very good distinction. But we are to discern what is right and wrong and we should make a point to."

"Don’t know who I’m speaking to—Life might be difficult—don’t complain, don’t speak negative words over the situation CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE, CHANGE YOUR WORDS."

"And it’s funny to me that you and I know that the closer we get to God the more like Him we become. But for someone who doesn’t know our God there is the practical question: what is God like? You don’t need to look much further than the ten commandments. Because those are the things that God is."

"And Jesus responded accordingly. “Get behind me, Satan.” But Jesus didn’t say it to insult Peter...He needed Peter to understand the severity of the accusation...He needed Peter to know that if you want Jesus, you can’t just have parts of Him...you have to accept all of Him."

There is an enemy out there without apology, without remorse, without pity and who would like nothing more than to control you the way that Jezebel controlled Ahab.

Will you let him?

And ever since the creation of family by God, the devil has done everything he can to destroy it. Why? Because it presents one of the biggest threats to him and his evil plan for the world...
When done correctly family presents something better. It encourages selflessness. Love. There is something to answer to."

"Why on Earth would a prophet of God serve the most wicked King in the whole Bible? Honestly, I believe that it’s a simple answer, it’s because it’s where God wanted him. A difficult place and not many people would understand."

"It’s because after Elijah experienced one of the biggest external displays of who God is, it still wasn’t enough and God said, “You know what you need? You need something deeper. You need something more personal. You need an encounter.”

"And if all He ever wanted was for us to be happy, there would never be a storm in our lives. Let me ask everyone a simple question, has anyone here ever had a storm? Something that was a challenge. Something that was hard, and you didn’t know how you were going to get through it?"

God gives us precise instructions on how to treat people. When faced with confrontation, we must be kind and examine our motives not to appear hypocritical; however, we cannot be pushovers. So what do we do? Join Pastor Bill as he draws from the life of Elijah to illustrate just how to hand our troubles over to God.

"I hear him say let's go on a journey with him. Let's go deeper. I want to show you the secrets, change the way you think so you can have greater freedom, greater joy…This is the work of the Holy Spirit. The spirit of the LORD knows how to set you free."

As Christians, do the choices of non-Christians offend? Are we expecting them to follow the way Jesus does?

Join Pastor Bill as shares what we as believers can do speak life while remaining unoffendable.

If you were an Old Testament prophet and you knew that the king's actions could have a profound effect on the kingdom, would you speak up? Join Pastor Bill as he explores this tough question and discusses the potential curses, as well as the blessings, of being bold.

In today's culture, we are terrifed when we see someone we love making a mistake, yet we remain silent. Why? What is it about the thought of confronting a friend that sends us into panic mode? Join Pastor Bill as he draws from the relationship of David and Nathan to illustrate the power that loving confrontation has to change hearts.

Hope flows out of a love relationship with God, not through our efforts, not by keeping the rules, and not by asking God to move. Hope comes from a place of relationship. Join guest speaker, Pastor Doug Watson, as he shares his own personal struggles and how through relationship, God has brought joy in the midst of sorrow.

Does the choice to follow Jesus come with a guarantee of an easy life or a life of sorrow? Is there a middle ground?

Paul writes in Romans 3:23 that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. What does this mean for the believer since, even with the cleansing blood of Christ, we still manage to fall short. Join Pastor Bill as he shares what it means to walk through the process of sanctification and how we as the Church can help one another on the journey.

The Bible underscores the importance of unity and oneness. Unity is absolutely essential because the church is the "body of Christ." Imagine what the world would look like if the church would put away petty differences and stand together in unity. Join Pastor Bill as he challenges us to live by Philippians 2:3 and do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but consider others better than ourselves.

God calls his people to be fruitful, but what does fruitfulness truly entail? Being fruitful is much more than we think. It's abundance. It is the quality of being prolific. To be fruitful is to pass along something of value. Join Pastor Bill as he dives into Jesus' exhortation to his disciples to remain on the vine, to draw strength from him, so we too can pass on something of value.

Palm Sunday is the perfect time to reflect on the status of our hearts and ask God to reveal what it values. Do we strive for the kingdom of God or are we consumed with the world? In today's message, Pastor Mark challenges us to search the Scriptures and learn how to live in the Kingdom of God without being tempted by all the Kingdom of the World has to offer.

In the continuation of the series, The Body of Christ, considers the question of Jesus' hands. Join Pastor Bill as he ponders the way Jesus used his hands to contradict the assumptions built by man's law and the freedom to be enjoyed by understanding God's law. Jesus had strong hands, do you?
