In Spirit & Truth

Communication can be tough. What’s the best way to handle a certain situation? Send a text, send an email, call on the phone, or meet face-to-face? Today, Pastor JD emphasizes that whatever method you use, make every effort to avoid misunderstandings. Your relationships with others are worth that extra effort.

If a quarter of the world's population suddenly vanished, how do you think the people would react? Would chaos ensue in the world? Or is something else going on? In today’s message, Pastor JD shares with you the final moving pieces before the next prophetical event to come- the rapture.

Everything has to start with the gospel. In today’s message, Pastor JD says we must first receive the gospel above all. If you don’t know Jesus, now is the time to follow Him. He wants a relationship with you and wants you to trust Him wholly. He’s seeking a relationship with you and wants you to follow Him.

The things around us can shift so quickly. Today, Pastor JD says you must be aware that Christ is coming soon and could come tomorrow. The things of this world must not blind you. You must be alert and ready for the enemy to attack and lie to you. The enemy wants nothing more than to make Jesus’s return numbing to you.

It’s easy for misunderstandings to occur: in business, in your family, with your friends. Today, Pastor JD provides practical suggestions to help you avoid misunderstandings. And when they do occur, how to clear them up. It takes a little effort, and sometimes humility, but the payoff in harmony is worth the effort.

Every week, millions of people around the world hear the Bible read in churches, on the radio, and over the Internet. And that’s a wonderful thing. But, as Pastor JD points out today, it’s never enough only to hear the word of God. So, it’s important that you listen, but also that you put into practice the words of Jesus.

It’s always a temptation for us to reshape Jesus into something that conforms to what we already believe. As Pastor JD points out today, that’s always happened, and it’s still happening now. So, be sure that your Jesus is the one and only biblical Jesus. Never define Him other than as He presents Himself in His Word.

Today, Pastor JD talks about the importance of the Middle East regarding the return of Jesus. We see throughout the scripture how important the Middle East is. The brokenness surrounding the Middle East was spoken upon, it should give you confidence in the power of God, whatever He says is true and will happen.

Many things compete in this world to be idols. We should be very careful to not let ourselves get swept away into idolatry. Today Pastor JD will urge you to stand against idols like the god of science and the god of politics. Don’t remain silent and let their lies go unopposed. Remain firm in the truth found in the Bible.

What is the spirit of the antichrist? It’s something we have to be on the lookout for. Pastor JD will warn you today to be on guard against false prophecy and false teaching. The spirit of the antichrist is something that has been in the world long before now. Test all teaching carefully against the Word of God.

It’s pretty amazing the amount of attention that Jesus gets from those who don’t believe in Him. Today, Pastor JD points out that this is exactly what we’d expect – if Jesus really is the unique Son of God. You see, you can even take the criticism of Jesus as evidence that your faith is in the One and Only Genuine Son of God!

What decision has been on your mind lately? Do you have a job to consider? Are you contemplating a surgery? Perhaps you’re wondering if you should go with public or home school for the kids. Whatever the case, Pastor JD provides you with sound advice in today’s message – align your choice with God’s truth.

As a Christian, there is no doubt that you will face temptations. The flesh is a hungry monster that wants to be fed. So, how do you keep the flesh from devouring you? Today, Pastor JD teaches that if you want to overcome temptation, you need to starve out the flesh by walking with the Holy Spirit.

What will the antichrist be like? In his message today, Pastor JD will explain that the antichrist will have a blasphemous mouth. He will be against everything that God stands for. He will come like Satan, to steal, kill, and destroy. He wants to steal hope, killjoy, and destroy your faith, but thank God the church will be gone.

Do you know what the antichrist will look like? Maybe not in a literal sense, but will he be a political leader or a spiritual leader? Today, Pastor JD will help you know what to look for. There may be an antichrist ready to go in the wings right now. He’s just waiting for the church to be raptured to start his work.

People will try and dismiss Bible prophecy by saying, “Well, I’m not a bad person! I do good things!” But Pastor JD doesn’t want you to fall for that delusion. All have sinned and fallen short of God’s Glory, and are in need of a Savior. You need to turn your life over to Jesus, or face the consequences in the life to come.

Part of human nature is having an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. However, Jesus teaches us to turn the other cheek and walk the extra mile instead. In today’s message, Pastor JD will challenge you to live up to this teaching. When someone rejects you, don’t seek revenge. Instead, show the love of God.

If you’ve ever been down the toy aisle of your favorite supermarket, you’ve likely witnessed the distress of a child not getting the toy they want or the distress of a parent having to discipline their screaming child. In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches that, sometimes, God might have to discipline you.

What if there was a way to know exactly how any decision you need to make might pan out? What if there was a way to gain valuable life advice? Well… you’re in luck! Today, Pastor JD teaches that there are plenty of those who have gone before you in life who are willing to guide you based on their experiences.

When was the last time you were out in public and came across a sidewalk preacher? Though they may have the Kingdom of God at heart, their tactics scare people away from the Gospel more often than not. Pastor JD encourages you to approach people in humility and gentleness to present Jesus to them.

Are you prepared with what you will say when you finally encounter someone ready to hear about Jesus? Or will you stutter and try and pull out your smartphone to find something to say? Pastor JD doesn’t want you to be caught off guard, but instead, be ready to answer for the hope that you have in Christ.

The world is full of people who are searching for answers to the meaning of the events they see going on in the news. Pastor JD wants you to realize that the Bible has the answers people are looking for, they just need someone to share it with them. Be emboldened to share the news of Jesus with those around you.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Live your truth,”? Well in today’s message, Pastor JD reminds you there is only one truth and that is found in Jesus! Like your belt holds up your pants, the truth of Jesus is the anchor that holds everything in your life together; or at least He should be. Without Jesus at the center, everything is relative.

Have you ever struggled with temptation? If you’re like most people you struggle daily. According to Pastor JD in today’s message, the secret to overcoming temptation, and your passion for it, is to have a greater passion for God. Experiencing temptation is not a sin, it’s when you give in to it that it’s a sin.

Have you ever considered how you should live as a follower of Jesus? Well in today’s message, Pastor JD proposes you should live a full prosperous life. Many people will accuse you of believing in a prosperity gospel, but if not prosperity, what did Jesus mean when He said to live an abundant life?
