Messages about who we are—our identity—are powerful. They can shape how we see ourselves, how we see the world, and how we see God. When people have hard experiences in their lives or have been mistreated by others, it always proves valuable to explore what messages those experiences have communicated about who they are. What message came with the hard experiences or mistreatment in your life?

“I want more Bible in my life this year!” One way we can get more of the Bible in us is to memorize portions of it. Our good friend, Professor Tom Meyer, also known worldwide as “The Bible Memory Man," dropped by to give us some tips!

Stick around for the end of the conversation, as Tom shared that bible memorization helps him hold steadfast to the Lord in the midst of an unexpected emergency, stemming from a medical condition his daughter was born with eight years ago.

As followers of Jesus, we’re people of the Word! But have you ever found yourself in this situation: You’re reading the Bible, but having trouble grasping the meaning and it’s like “in one ear and out the other?" You can’t carry that truth with you because you can’t recall it. Pastor and author Jonathan Threlfall stopped by to help us with ALL of our reading because there is a way to read for understanding and retention!

The Bible warns us to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. Have you examined yourself lately? Do you have any doubts of whether you have truly been born again of God's Spirit, saved from the wrath of God to come? Today is an opportunity to see if you are in the faith! Pastor Jay Dennis from City Central Church in Lakeland stopped by this morning and presented the Gospel for first time hearers, as well as for those who have heard before and have walked away from the faith!

Gentleness is often misunderstood. When we think of a man being gentle, we might picture some guy being weak or timid, but that’s not what gentleness truly means. In fact, gentleness is a strength of character—a willingness to humble ourselves and put others first, even when we have the power to act differently. Many great men throughout history have displayed gentleness in remarkable ways, showing us that true greatness is not about asserting power but about choosing humility and self-control. The Bible has a lot to say about gentleness!

“He has a pastor’s heart.” For most of us, this describes a gentle man who walks alongside those who are downtrodden and struggling. The man with a pastor’s heart cares for wandering sheep, never yells, is quick to forgive, and looks past our sins. He’s a man who is easy to be around, and he demonstrates love no matter what the situation is or who he’s talking to. Pastor Rob Golding poses an interesting question: Can Satan have a “pastor’s heart?"
