Wednesday Word: God Knows, Shows, & Grows Our Faith

Posted by Matt McCoy on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, In : Wednesday Word 
Often the times we feel the most distant from God are the times he wants us to call upon him the most. Satan will do his part to cloud our perspective. No matter what, we must always keep the big picture in mind and know that God Knows us! John 15:15 tells us we can call God a friend! Let that one sink in! He's not only a friend. He is also our all loving heavenly Father. Surrender to him today and let your life be lived to the fullest. God bless!

How Do You View Yourself?

Posted by Matt McCoy on Thursday, July 3, 2014, In : Daily Blog 
This question might seem easy to answer at first glance. Once your really dive into this question it forces you to see things at a deeper level. Check out this video as I go over looking at ourselves closer in order to treat others better and have a different perspective of our Heavenly Father. God bless!

Did Jesus Really Claim to be God?

Posted by Matt McCoy on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, In : Daily Blog 
I hear this question asked often. Many people have said that Jesus only claims to be God in the book of John. They say in Matthew, Mark and Luke he simply is considered a prophet. This couldn't be further from the truth. Check out my pastor's blog post about this topic so if you ever hear this question proposed to an audience, you can easily defend who Christ really was. (Even though he in no way needs defended because He's the Creator of us all!)

Does God Want You Happy?

Posted by Matt McCoy on Wednesday, March 19, 2014, In : Daily Blog 

The quick answer to this question is a simple Yes. The problem comes when the wrong things make us happy. We live in a society that places such a high value on wealth, fame, status, weather, health, entertainment, etc. This is NOT the way God designed us. We have let the distractions of this world take over in our lives and now we ultimately treasure the wrongs things.


Do you know you have EVERYTHING you need in Christ? Think about that for a minute. We don't have a lot in Christ, we don't jus...

Seek First...

Posted by Matt McCoy on Tuesday, March 18, 2014, In : Daily Blog 

Over the past few weeks I have had the verse from Matthew 6 stuck in my head. "Seek First the Kingdom of Heaven"


Seek means, to go in search or quest of....to try to find or discover.

This is what God wants for us to do with our lives. Simply, SEEK him. 

The next part of the verse uses the word "first." God doesn't want our leftovers. As creator of the world, he gave us so many wonderful things here on Earth. Beautiful Nature Scenes, attractive people and friendships, a mind that is able to obta...

What's in a Name?

Posted by Matt McCoy on Tuesday, March 11, 2014, In : Daily Blog 
As the song "Your Name" says.

"Your name, is a strong and mighty tower.
Your name, is a shelter like no other,
Your name, let the nations sing it louder, 
cause nothing has the power to save but your name!"

Praise the Lord that we serve a God who sent his only son to bear the sin of the world, on a cross, that we can be free from Satan's power of us. We can now worship him forever and have a blessed and joy-filled life! Think about the sacrifice of the cross today and pledge to worship God with ev...

What's Your Vision?

Posted by Matt McCoy on Monday, March 10, 2014, In : Daily Blog 
In Proverbs 29:18 Solomon tells us, "Where there is no vision, the people perish"

Our pastor spoke on this topic in church and it was a great wake up call for me. 

What is my vision? What do I want to see happen in my life? A better question, "What does God want to see happen with my life?"

I want to challenge you today to pray and ask God to give you a vision. Ask him to help show you the areas of your life that need his hand. Where can you serve today in the church? What are areas outside of t...

Draw Nigh to God...

Posted by Matt McCoy on Saturday, March 8, 2014, In : Daily Blog 
This morning I woke up and immediately had this simple but very true verse on my mind.

Draw nigh unto God and he will draw nigh unto thee. (James 4:8 )

What does this mean? God is waiting for us to want to know him more. He's not pushy, he's not going to throw himself on us. He wants to help guide and speak to people who want to know him more. 

Whatever you're going through today, ask yourself, "Am I drawing nigh unto God?"

If you want to get a closer walk with the Lord, draw close to him. "Abide...

Rejoice in the answer NO!

Posted by Matt McCoy on Thursday, March 6, 2014, In : Daily Blog 
Often we feel like God didn't answer our prayer if the answer was not the "yes" we anticipated or wanted. I have found I can pray so hard for things and God will tell me "NO." We must as Christians realize God works his plan on his watch, not ours. I'm praying I can learn to better accept God's answer to my prayer...even if it's not the one I want. Many answers we didn't like at first turn out much better later on. Keep the faith!
