Believing in someone else can change the course of their life.
The urgency of our faith should drive us deeper into the likeness of Jesus.
Getting from here to there means never giving up in our pursuit of God.
If we plan for God's blessings we will receive God's blessings.
A Funeral Message for Bob Cottle by Bret Hammond
God will always go before us.
Don't sacrifice the victory you have in Jesus for a temporary win here.
Your victory can change your world.
When we fail to bring God glory we stop being who he created us to be.
How you react to change is an indicator of how well you trust God.
Obedience now provides confidence later.
Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.
Jesus meets us with his presence at the point of our trust in Him.
A Funeral Message for Alberta Bradford by Bret Hammond
We are not born content. It is an attitude that we learn.
We have too much; and when we have too much, we take too much for granted.
Our worship of God must take first place in our lives or something else will.
Jesus has given us an open door. We need to move through it in faith.
Authenticity is being faithful to who Jesus calls us to be today.
God expects his people to walk in holiness.
God has given us his truth so we can know him.
You're going to encounter troubles. Make sure you encounter Christ first.
Above anything else, we must be known by our love for Jesus
The greatest calling Jesus has for you is the call to serve.
Servants work together.
We are most like Jesus when we are serving others.
Salvation comes with a call to serve.
