In our daily lives, we are frequently distracted. Even the simplest things, such as work or a relationship, can cause us to become distracted. The enemy is always looking for ways to divert our attention away from God. Pastor Jimmy explains how to avoid all distractions that the enemy throws at you in today's message. You may find that the people around you are a source of distraction at time...

We do face many challenges in our lives. We frequently make mistakes, whether at work or in relationships and end up in a bad situation. Even our adversary, Satan, is constantly on the lookout for ways to bring us down physically, mentally, and emotionally by throwing trials at us. Who can we turn to for help? Pastor Jimmy explains how Jesus is the solution to all of your problems in today's...

Wow. That cuts right to the heart. If you put yourself in that place, with a spouse who continues to go through all the motions, but has let their love grow cold - you can only go on for so long that way. In today’s message, Pastor Jimmy asks you to examine your own heart. Have you become like a disenchanted lover in your relationship with Jesus? You go to church, sing the songs, and shake some ha...

Church is so much more than a social event designed to make friends with people of like minds. As Pastor Jimmy will explain in today’s message, at Family Church, we’re living out the Gospel in how we build up and care for each other as individuals, families, and communities. This mission crosses racial, ethnic, and social boundaries that easily divide us in our broken world. You can be a part of t...

Many people hear the words “Revelation” or “apocalypse” and it brings an image of global catastrophe and chaos. Movies and books are largely responsible for the negative association we have with this book of the Bible and the end of this world. Certainly, for those who reject Jesus, the end will be a dark time. But, as Pastor Jimmy will remind us in today’s message, this book reveals good news to...

We need to process our world events through the lens of the Bible . All too often, as Pastor Jimmy will warn in today’s message, we try to make the Bible - and specifically the end times prophecy it contains - conform to current events and figures. There certainly are things we see happening that connect directly to Scripture, but we need to be careful that we aren’t making up our own connections....

Today, Pastor Jimmy will be explaining how Jesus fulfills the role of the prophet, priest as well as king. Normally, the three offices of prophet, priest, and king were distinct from each other, with no overlap. That is, a king was not a priest or a prophet. A priest did not function as a prophet or a king. And a prophet simply did a prophet’s job without trying to be either king or a priest. God...

As Pastor Jimmy continues his teaching series through the book of Psalms, he’ll be challenging you to make the decision to follow Jesus if you haven't already. There’s no such thing as being neutral in this spiritual battle. You are either a child of God or a child of the devil. Jesus Himself said, He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me, scatters abroad. Sayin...

There’s an argument some unbelievers make, saying statements like: “How can God be loving and send people to Hell”?. The answer is very simple. God is love, and God is also a righteous judge. Would it be loving for God to not bring judgment and punish those doing exceedingly wicked things to other people? God is gracious and long-suffering, and even allows the most wicked people a chance to repent...

Everyone is in need of redemption because no one is without sin! As Pastor Jimmy continues his teaching series through the book of Psalms, he’ll be explaining how all have fallen short of the glory of God, and without forgiveness, are destined for eternal separation from God. One of the biggest lies of the enemy is to try and convince people that they aren’t that bad, and don’t deserve Hell. God i...

When you read through the Psalms, one of the first things you’ll notice is the amount of passion and emotion David had while he was writing. Today, Pastor Jimmy will be encouraging you to read the Psalms, especially when you're going through trials and hardships because you’ll be able to resonate with how David is feeling. David was falsely accused, hated, and hunted down by those who should...

King David was a great warrior who helped Israel defeat all their enemies, but he didn’t always start off that way. David was first a shepherd that fought off wild animals to protect his sheep before he started slaying giants. Today, Pastor Jimmy will be reminding you that everyone has to start somewhere and that it’s about you remaining faithful even with the smaller things. Throughout your walk...

Sin feels so good at the moment. You feel like you can get away with it and live the rest of your life. But it will catch up to you. You try to run and hide but you end up fighting with your own mind. Today, Pastor Jimmy will use the story of David and Bathsheba to remind you that restoration is possible in any circumstance. There will be consequences to your sin, but there can still be restoratio...

Are you hiding in a guilty conscience? Maybe you did something years ago that you’ve been hiding because you’re afraid of what your friends will think, your spouse, or your family. Or maybe you just committed a sin and are trying to figure out a way to cover it up. God already knows. He already knows what you’ve done and there isn’t a need to hide it. He can restore you from anything you’ve done....

Pain is a part of life – sadly. This life would be much easier without suffering – much faster to move through hard times if we didn’t have to grieve. That’s just not how God designed us though. Pastor Jimmy reminds you today that people DO need to grieve. They need to mourn losses and process the hurt. But Pastor Jimmy will also remind you today that you have someone you can turn to in those hear...

God raised Jesus from the dead, and He can raise you out of depression. Think about that for a second. If God raised Jesus from the grave, He has the power to restore your contentment. Today, Pastor Jimmy is going to encourage your soul. He is going to remind you that depression doesn’t have to take over your life. You can overcome it by pressing into Jesus. He will restore your soul. It won’t be...

Depression isn’t something to be taken lightly. It’s not a myth and it’s more than just being sad. If you’ve ever been depressed you know how difficult it can be to break that spell. It drains you. You feel no will to do anything and wonder if God is even there. Well, there is hope for you! There is hope to be found in Jesus. Today, Pastor Jimmy will remind you that depression is a real issue, and...

The past can be enticing – especially when the memories bring a happy feeling and peace to your mind. But Pastor Jimmy wants to remind you that you can’t live this life in the past. You can’t stop moving forward. So today, think about what you’ve been procrastinating about. Maybe it’s a new job. Maybe it’s committing to a relationship you know is right. Maybe it’s a calling you have from God that...

Pastor Jimmy asks an important question today – do you want to get closer to God? We all do – but you might be wondering how. Well, Pastor Jimmy has some Biblically-based answers that will get you on the path to a deeper relationship with the Lord! And it’s really not that hard – read the Bible, learn it, and do what it says! If you’re not spending time in the Word regularly, how will you know wha...

Is Jesus your Savior? Have you walked away from your sins and given your life to Him, accepting that He took the punishment that you deserved? Well, today, Pastor Jimmy is going to be telling you all about what it means to make this decision. It’s the best one that you can make – but it’s a choice that is yours alone. No one can do this for you. As you listen today, have an open mind and an open h...

Pastor Jimmy’s point there is that you can have new life. It doesn’t matter today how bad you’ve messed up or if you feel like you’re not worthy. Jesus still came to save you, to give you a second chance! And if you’ve been doing pretty well through your life, you're nice enough to people, you do good deeds now and then – guess what – you STILL need Jesus. Because everyone has sinned – it mig...

Today’s passage of Scripture is not easy to read or study – but it’s essential. It’s an honest account of people actively refusing to follow God, and that’s not easy to watch. They’re going to have to endure the consequences of their actions too – and that is not fun to experience. But – all of this is true. It’s reality – even now, we sin, and we must endure the consequences. But as Pastor Jimmy...

God has provided for you. If you take the time to think back on your life, you’ll likely be able to see times when God provided in surprising ways, and you can bet that there are times you were completely unaware of how He met needs and protected you from hardship. In today’s message, as Pastor Jimmy kicks off his series, Blessed By God, he'll encourage us to remember that we have no reason t...
