As Pastor Jimmy continues his teaching series through the book of Galatians, he’ll be challenging you to be and others-centered and generous. Our God is a giving God. He is a God of abundance, and He loves to give. He sacrificed willingly on the cross and then invited you into fullness of life. As His child, you are called to imitate Him. Your generosity in giving is a demonstration of God’s chara...

In the Christian doctrine of salvation, we are saved from “wrath,” that is, from God’s judgment of sin. Our sin has separated us from God, and the consequence of sin is death. Biblical salvation refers to your deliverance from the consequences of sin. It’s only Jesus’ death on the cross and subsequent resurrection that achieved your salvation. Today, Pastor Jimmy will explain that salvation is the...

Have you ever been somewhere where you felt really out of place? When you looked around the room, you realized that you weren’t dressed right, you didn’t have the right vocabulary, and you certainly couldn’t relate to their spending habits. That can be awkward, right? Today, in his message, Pastor Jimmy teaches you that in the family of God, there’s room for everyone. You don’t have to “fit in” wi...

In first-century Rome, well-off families would hire a tutor or a mentor to train their children. This tutor would teach the children everything - from basic education to philosophy, as well as any practical skills they’d need in life. When a child would come of age, the tutor would no longer be needed; their job was complete. In his message today, Pastor Jimmy shares with you that in Christ , the...

When you work in business, it makes sense to work hard because the more you bust your tail, the higher up the ladder you can climb. The harder you work, the higher you climb, and the higher you get, the more you get out of it all. In his message today, Pastor Jimmy shares with you that when it comes to salvation, you can never work hard enough or climb high enough to reach heaven. Yes, you absolut...

Sometimes, social pressures are enough to cause even those with the strongest convictions to cave under them. In the early Church, even the Apostle Peter faltered when it came to the pressure of the legalists who wanted the Gentile Christians to keep the Jewish law. In his message today, Pastor Jimmy shares with you that the law could never save you, and that the only way you can be made right wit...

Where does the disconnect come from between the words of Scripture and many people’s aims for salvation?  In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy teaches about several groups of people who believe we must do more than what Jesus already did.  This is false teaching!  Jesus’ finished work on the cross paid the price for all sins of all mankind past, present, and future.  Don’t fall into the trap of believ...

The beauty of the Gospel is that it is ALL possible only through the finished work of Jesus.  In today’s teaching, Pastor Jimmy implores listeners to stop trying to “earn” their way to Salvation through various good works.  The Bible is clear that it is by grace through faith that we are saved, and no other way!  Have you been searching for a way to make yourself more “right” with God?  There is n...

Our society has become exceptionally permissive in many aspects of life, lacking any moral compass or guidelines. Several national studies attribute much of this moral decay to a decline in church involvement. Today, Pastor Jimmy presents statistics that support these findings. When only mothers attend church, about 2% of their children continue attending church as adults. However, when fathers at...

Fear is a crippling emotion that affects everyone at some point. Unexpected life changes—such as a health diagnosis, the end of a relationship, or other significant shifts in our daily patterns—can instill fear. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy shares a personal experience when a health diagnosis filled him with overwhelming fear and how God provided encouragement and healing through His Word. He...

Wherever we are placed, we are called to be a safe haven, a space that is filled with love and forgiveness, that is known by everyone around us! Just as Jesus is a safe place for us to take refuge in and be loved, so are we called to do the same in our homes, our churches, and our jobs. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will challenge you, wherever you are, no matter who you’re around, to be a good...

No matter what we believe, what ethnicity we are, or what we do and how much we make, we are ALL made in the image of God! Every single one of us is made to look like and act like Jesus Himself! In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy will encourage you to remember that when you disagree with someone or are challenged by their accomplishments. God calls you to love everyone, simply for the fact that He m...

When someone gets caught, then they may admit to wrongdoing, but that doesn’t mean they’re truly sorry. They might be sorry they were caught , but that’s not the same as being repentant. Today , in his message, Pastor Jimmy teaches you that someone who’s truly repentant will not only admit wrong but seek to make it right. But that’s not something you can do on your own. The way to make things righ...

There’s a common cultural idea that you can do whatever you want as long as you don’t hurt anybody else. You may have heard the slogan, “Whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” It’s that same idea: “Whatever you do in private is your business.” In his message today, Pastor Jimmy teaches you that when there’s sin in the camp, it affects others. If you have sin in your life, then it’s time for y...

Many times, we go through our lives with the same routine, day in and day out. We know that something needs to change, but many times, we’re not inclined to make a change ourselves, we’re just kind of hoping that “ something” will happen. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy teaches you that you don’t need a sign from heaven, what you need is to look to the word of God! God has a message for you today...

Life can pull us in so many different directions that there’s no way anyone can do it all. We’re all forced with a decision to prioritize what we’re going to give our time to. When we try to do too many different things, then it’s hard to do anything well. Today, Pastor Jimmy teaches you that God wants YOU to devote yourself wholly to Him. He wants your life to be consecrated to Him - that is , se...

Corrie Tenboom and her family saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust. What they had to do wasn’t easy, but they were willing to do what they knew needed to be done. Isn’t that the story of all great heroes? They don’t aspire to greatness; they simply rise to the occasion. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy teaches you that God wants to use you to do great things. Will YOU rise to the occasion?...

Everyone has an opinion about what the people in charge should do, but how many people are willing to step up and lead well themselves? It takes a special person who’s willing to put themself on the line and step up to do what needs to be done. Not just anyone can be a good leader. Today, Pastor Jimmy teaches you that God prepares people for certain times and certain reasons. What is God calling y...

What kinds of works has God prepared you for?  First, He saved you.  And you know that’s not because of anything good you’ve ever done or ever will do.  But now that you have been saved, what is there for you to do?  Today, Pastor Jimmy urges us not to let God’s grace become a call for inaction.  Jesus Himself has stated His Great Commission: go into ALL the world and make disciples of ALL nations...

It’s easy to be around people who are like us.  It’s easy to like people who think and act – and look – like we do.  But what about those “other” people?  Today, Pastor Jimmy exhorts us to remember that the message of Jesus is for ALL people.  God wants to rescue people from every ethnic group, from every political persuasion, and from every neighborhood.  And He’s given that job to YOU.  You have...

No matter how hard we try, we can never truly get our minds around the topics of evil and suffering.  Whether it’s someone else’s, or our own, a fully satisfactory answer always eludes us.  Today, Pastor Jimmy asks a penetrating question: What if God is using your suffering to make you more like Jesus?  After all, He was the Man of Sorrows and Acquainted with Grief.  Isn’t it possible that by embr...

It’s no exaggeration to say that the world that surrounds us, and the individual people we know, go through many, many tough and difficult situations.  And you yourself have experienced various degrees of suffering in your own life.  Today, Pastor Jimmy tackles the great question as to why this is the case.  There are many answers in the world, but there is one biblical answer.  And when you’re le...

There are a lot of opinions out there today about gender and sexuality and often they degenerate into conflicts and arguments.  But, as Pastor Jimmy shows today, God’s intent is not to attack and debate people but to love and help them.  What you believe, and what you practice, about sexuality, is more than just an opinion.  God has a specific and beautiful design: for the human race, and for you...

Our culture will tell us that “as long as it doesn’t mean anything, then anything you do sexually is fine.”  It’s as though your “real” self and your “physical” body are – or can be – separated.  But today, Pastor Jimmy shows from the scriptures and common sense that this simply is not the case.  God designed each one of us uniquely and specifically.  You were hand-crafted by God in the womb to ha...

If you’re a Christian, and you’re married, and you’re having trouble in your marriage, then the best thing to do is to work it out yourselves; right?  And if you’re single, the best way to live successfully in your singleness, or to seek after a godly marriage, is to do it on your own; is that true?  Today, Pastor Jimmy urges us to seek wise spiritual counsel as soon as possible.  So, whatever you...
