In relational uncertainty, love protects hope by focusing on what matters most. But Satan’s strategy is to strangle hope as he seeks to disguise, divide and destroy. Where hope is kept alive, know this: someone is always sacrificing. And most often, it’s Jesus Christ through one of His followers. Remember, hope is the confident expectation of bette…

If the End Times fills you with fear, don’t despair. Every person who is alive in Christ will be rescued by the rapture, to watch in safety from the balconies of Heaven. The truth of God’s Word and His plan is our everlasting comfort, because Hope Springs Eternal! Let’s continue our journey into 1 Thessalonians and hold on to the hope that only Jes…

God is still working in His Church. And God calls His church to walk worthy of His Word, with passion, perseverance, and faithfulness. A true believer in Jesus Christ is never indifferent to the need for their walk to match their talk – and if you are… then you aren't. Wherever you are in your faith walk – whether these teachings are your weekly ch…

HOPE. It is the confident expectation of better days ahead. Faith in Christ is filled with an endless hope – and believe it or not – your pastor and spiritual leaders are depending on your hope filled prayers! Lean in and pray with hope for our Christian leaders to be faithful with God’s truth, and possess the courage and compassion to challenge an…

You have to die if you want to live. You will never experience new life in Christ unless you first experience a death to your sin. This is the Easter Principle. As we celebrate Easter and reflect on Christ’s death and resurrection, Pastor James reminds us of the purpose of the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Get ready to dig into Romans 8 – and watch …

SCRIPTURE TELLS US FAITH, LOVE, AND HOPE ARE ALL IMPORTANT… So today we begin a fresh focus with a series in 1 Thessalonians on biblical hope. If you feel hope fading in your heart, remember – our hope is in a God who is sovereign over the universe. He is in control of everything, and nothing comes into our lives that He does not allow. This Palm S…

To what degree is God in control of specific details of my future? How do I know whether it is MY desire versus the will of God for my life? What do you do when you know you made a decision you shouldn’t have? These are some of the questions students asked Pastor James when they were learning the truth about God's Will. Pastor opens God's Word and …

Do you wonder if your decisions are bringing glory to God? Or consider the 90s adage, WWJD – “what would Jesus do?” The good news – God doesn’t want robots who conform to some extra-biblical code of conduct. Rather, He gives His children the beautiful freedom to make decisions and express ourselves in different ways. Grab your Bible and join us for…

The key to making difficult choices? It’s not flipping a coin but rather, wisdom God expects His children to use what He has provided for making decisions that honor and glorify Him. Yes, He gives us grace in these decisions – but in the end, God’s will for you IS His Word to you. Dr. James MacDonald preaches without apology straight from the pages…

Many people fumble around in mystical corners of decision making – "What is God's will for me?" "Who should I marry?" "Where should I live?" But God does not have an individualistic, specific will for your life. He leaves most of your life choices up to you. And His will in all of them is that you obey His Word. By the time we end this series, this…

Have you ever wondered, “What IS God’s will for my life? Can anyone really know it?” Confusion about God’s will abounds. But He’s not some cruel architect, ever teasing as we figure out the mysteries of life. You can know God’s will for your life – because the will of God IS the Word of God. When you understand that, all other decisions will be eas…

It isn’t wrong to enjoy your blessings; it’s wrong to forget where they come from. As God blesses you with material things, He wants you to enjoy them – but take heed. Enjoy money carefully or it will destroy you. And if you struggle with anxiety about what you don’t have, or envy over the success of others, you have the problem of discontentment. …

Jesus Christ is our Wonderful Savior AND a demanding boss to whom we must account. When Jesus returns, will He find that you have hidden and hoarded your talents and resources? Or will He see that you have multiplied what He put in your hands? Your investments here on earth have an eternal impact. While many obsess and stress over finances, God off…

Do you trust God with His money? All of our money and earthly possessions belong to God – we are simply stewards of what He has us temporarily hold. How we handle what God has entrusted to us is always an act of faith. Every dollar you have represents an opportunity to glorify the Lord. When you give to God and others cheerfully and sacrificially, …

Does thinking about finances fill you with dread? Are you stuck in debt, or the rat race trying to get ahead? Let this truth be your encouragement: What God has given you now is everything you need to go where He is bringing you next. The Lord has already put the tools in your hands to take the next steps toward financial peace and freedom. Open yo…

More than 2000 verses in the Bible speak about money. In a world full of get rich quick schemes, cutting corners and sneaky scammers, many desperately want to believe there is a secret to fast acquisition and increase. But God values hard work and honest gain. And fair pay for solid work is one way He provides for our needs. Let’s open our Bibles a…

A major struggle for many of us? Money. And the root is something the Jesus Himself had a lot to say about. The truth is, God doesn’t just deserve a part of our lives, including our money. Because everything we have is His. As we start this 6-part series, God’s Money, get ready to view money God’s way and grow into freedom from financial bondage. D…

Did you know – your prayer life is not dependent on your ability to articulate to God? He loves to listen and answer your requests. He wants you to approach him in prayer, with faith, and make your requests known. As 2024 begins, fire up your prayer life with these accelerants straight from Scripture, and fuel your faith! Dr. James MacDonald preach…

While we scramble around last minute for the holidays, God isn’t worried or anxious. He rules and oversees every aspect of our world from His Throne. And as we return again to Revelation chapter 5, prepare to Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, worshiped by myriads of angels! Is Christ receiving the worship due Him from you? Let’s take time as we cele…

Where would we be without Christmas? How dark would this world be without the light of Christ? What would we do if we didn’t have God’s Word? There would be nothing important enough to celebrate or a message good enough for me to share in these weekend teachings. God doesn’t want us walking in darkness and doubt, that’s why He clearly reveals His W…

Do you wonder what it’s like in Heaven? Or how it will feel to kneel before God on His throne?

In Isaiah 6, God's prophet Isaiah sees an astonishing vision of heaven and God's magnificence. When Isaiah encounters the Lord, he cannot help but see his own sin and weakness – his faults fully exposed. It is no different for us today. In God's presence, there is no room for comparison or way to hide… but even where sin is great, grace is greater …

The Apostle Paul was a follower of Jesus who suffered through imprisonment, hunger and persecution. Amazingly, despite those trials he declared, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” When we rejoice in what God has provided, we will not become overwhelmed by what we don't have. This Thanksgiving weekend, let's be thankful for G…

What does it really mean to "remember the Lord"? This week we're diving into one of the most divisive teachings in the history of Christianity, yet one instituted by Jesus Himself to unite us when we gather – Communion. If you're drifting away from your love for God, remember Christ's sacrifice. When your mind is set on Jesus and growing closer to …

When God is big, problems are small… but when problems are big, God is small. Struggles may weigh us down and our burdens may overwhelm, but God is never maxed out or too busy. He is always able to work abundantly, and deal with our trials in far more powerful ways than we could ask or imagine. Get ready for “Don’t Shrink God!” in Ephesians 3 – He …
