In Spirit & Truth

How awesome it would be, and is for some, to be totally sold out for Christ? Pastor JD explores Paul’s secrets to spiritual stamina, and identifies dying to self as one of these. It’s not easy, but when we die to ourselves, living for God becomes our main priority. And with that, comes blessings above and beyond what we could ever imagine.

Spiritual Stamina. Have you ever thought about this topic? Pastor JD explores Paul’s secrets to spiritual stamina, and how we can use these in our daily lives. Life can wear us down…discourage us and cause us to want to give up, but God has claimed victory over this world and is our everlasting source of strength and joy. Don’t give up…press on!

The nuclear scare in Hawaii has taken center stage in the media. Friends the nuclear threat from countries like North Korea and Iran is very real. We need to get our heads out of the sand and begin seeing the world as it really is...on the precipice of change. The wonderful hope that we have is that Jesus will be returning for His bride.

As many of you know...there was a false alarm that rocked the tiny islands of Hawaii...right where Pastor JD and the Kaneohe congregation is. Pastor JD will be discussing the prophetic ramifications of this false nuclear alarm. Imagine the wide spread panic and fear that swept over the people of Hawaii??? Pastor JD will actually thank God for this event in today's prophecy update.

It can be so easy to become discouraged and lose sight of what is important in the midst of struggles. Pastor JD encourages us to keep our eyes on Christ and His eternal promises. In staying focused on these things, we are able to push through trials and live out Christ’s plan for our lives. We are to keep our eyes on the prize…the imperishable crown!

When you’re going through an especially difficult trial, it can be so hard to see an end in sight; in fact, it’s hard to see any sort of hope! But that’s when we gotta start walking by faith and not by sight. In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us of the promise we have in Christ which are always holding us...especially when we can’t see it.

If you’re having trouble counting it all joy as you go through trials, then you’re not alone! How is that even possible? Well, in today’s teaching, Pastor JD will go over the reasons why we shouldn’t lose heart. Trials have a purpose and produce great fruit in our lives. Once you truly know that, then you have one more reason to hang in there!

If you’re going through some tough times, then you’ll be able to relate to Paul who described all his near-death experiences as simply “light afflictions.” Well, if your own afflictions are getting you down, the Word offers hope. In today’s message, Pastor JD shares how persecutions can actually strengthen us so that we don’t lose heart.

If you had to guess...how many people, per day around the world, are coming to Christ? One hundred? One thousand? Ten thousand? Today Pastor JD shares with us some staggering statistics that show a massive revival is happening all around world...in many countries. Sadly, we see the exact opposite here in the United States...we'll learn why today.

Many are mistaken in thinking they have to be good enough to be saved. Even believers need reminders that our best efforts still merit death. In today’s message, Pastor JD touches on the contrast between the Law and the Spirit. The Law brings death because our own righteousness falls short. Only God’s Spirit brings us new life.

Today Pastor JD begins talking about what our government's reaction may be to the uprising in Iran. Will we stick to the nuclear arms deal that President Barack Obama initiated? Will President Trump pull out of this deal? What kind of ramifications might this have on global events? Pastor JD will also talk more about the declaration of Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel.

Are you stressed out? In this fast-paced society it seems like we’re all clawing our way through each day and bombarded with methods and prescriptions to help us relax. In today’s message, Pastor JD gives a very different prescription from the Bible for ways to not lose heart. Number one: Get your eyes off yourself and focus on Christ.

It’s certainly awe-inspiring to read about Moses and the way his face would shine with God’s glory after having spoken to Him face to face, but that was a fading glory. It’s even more awesome to learn in today’s teaching that we have access to a far greater, unfading glory! Pastor JD shares how we don’t just reflect Christ, we become like Him.

Have you spent time with God today? We might squirm if someone asks us that question; not just because we didn’t read our Bible that day, but mainly because we don’t want to appear ungodly in front of others! In today’s message, Pastor JD shares how you don’t have to wear a veil. Jesus can remove it and write a new chapter in your life.

Today we continue to learn more about the so called Palestinian people. Pastor JD is very much an authority on this matter because he was born and raised believing that he WAS Palestinian. We'll learn more today why this is nothing more than a trick of the enemy to thwart God's chosen people from existing in the land that He has promised them.

The fight in the middle east is centered around the argument that the Palestinian people have just as much right to the land in Israel as God's chosen people do. Today Pastor JD sheds some light on the actual Palestinian people. What we'll discover is that there's actually no such thing. Palestinianism is an invention of Satan in order to attempt to destroy Israel.

How will people remember you when you’re gone? What about today? What do your habits and conduct say about you? In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us that, like it or not, each of our lives is an epistle read by our family, friends, and co-workers. You can quote scripture all day, but it’s your fruit that truly makes up your legacy.

Some people never leave home without wearing their favorite perfume or cologne and we come to associate that scent with them. A Christian should never leave home without wearing Christ. In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches on what Paul meant when he wrote about the fragrance of Christ. What do others associate with you?

A triumphant Christian is one who does the will of God, but how can you be sure you know the will of God for your life? This is one of the most commonly asked questions and Pastor JD will answer it in today’s teaching. He’ll give three checks we can look out for- one of them is having the peace of God, knowing when to stop and wait.

One of the most damaging paths we can follow is unforgiveness. We might feel like we have the right to this, but it will water the seed of bitterness and become very destructive, as Pastor JD teaches today. Bitterness is a cancer that spreads through the life of a Christian-we need God’s help to stop this before it destroys us.

The central story in our news right now is the declaration of the United States government recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the nation of Israel. Today Pastor JD will share with us the plain evidence that proves the very Name of God is written all over the city of Jerusalem. This holy city was never, and will never, be the capital of a two state solution or the so called nation of Palestine...

The most recent news of the our government's recognition that Jerusalem is, in fact, the capital of the Nation of Israel is an astounding development! Pastor JD will discuss the prophetic ramifications of this decision. Even the holy book of Islam, the Koran, does not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of so called Palestine. Is peace and security the next item on the agenda?

Our words can either make us look wise or foolish. Many times, in the heat of the moment, our words are driven by our emotions. But as we’ll hear today from Pastor JD, we really need to think about the way we speak to others, not just the words we say. The apostle Paul encourages us to season our words with grace and approach others in love.

Insecurity manifests itself in a person in various ways, including being cruel toward others. On the other hand, security is actually a mark of integrity. In today’s teaching, Pastor JD discusses the three characteristics that mark a person of integrity. Those who find their identity in Christ don’t need to bolster their worth by putting others down.

How can you recognize a person of integrity? Pastor JD answers this in today’s teaching by illustrating the characteristics that mark Paul’s integrity and which we can also find in other people of integrity. First and foremost, our yes should be yes, and our no should be no. If you say it, then you should live it, because this makes up who you are.
