In Spirit & Truth

The gift of salvation feels too good to be true. God really would forgive us when we simply place our trust in Him to do it. There has to be more to it, right? In today’s message, Pastor JD will warn us not to let those seeds of doubt from the enemy take root and fool us into thinking we need to earn your redemption.

We all desire prosperity. Nobody wants to deal with adversity when they could flourish instead! But today, Pastor JD argues that prosperity is actually worse because when we thrive, we learn to rely on ourselves…and we are not reliable. It’s through times of adversity that we learn to rely on the One who can’t let us down: Jesus Christ.

To make a mountain out of a molehill is an idiom that means to take something that’s nothing and make a big to-do out of it. So what if we flip that on its head? In today’s update, Pastor JD warns us that unfortunately, many have been making the mountain of Bible prophecy and claiming it’s only a molehill.

As humans, we’re so quick to forget some of the hard times we’ve been through. We like to go on living as if nothing has happened and everything’s normal again, even when it’s not. In today’s Prophecy update, Pastor JD encourages you to not dismiss what you’ve been through but to let it drive you closer to God.

When we read the Bible, we will be more prepared for the things to come. So much fear can come from the unknown. God has given us his word so that we are able to determine the truth from the lies and build our lives on him. In today’s message, Pastor JD will be sharing about focusing on what the Bible teaches us!

Nobody likes adversity; no one wants to go through trials in life, because they’re not fun! But today, Pastor JD reminds us why it’s so important that we experience them; when things are all well and good, what reason do you have to walk with Christ? It’s when you go through tribulations that you’re drawn closer to Him.

Often times we hear, “The only thing you can do is pray.” And a lot of times that’s true! But today, Pastor JD reminds us that prayer isn’t always the answer - sometimes we need to act. Now, our actions should always begin with prayer, but that’s not where it ends. We need to learn our direction from God, and then MOVE.

Everyone gets to the end of their rope eventually; someone’s pushed you too far one too many times and you have to cut them out of your life. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that, while God’s rope has an end too, He’s much slower to get there. He’s not going to turn His back on you, but you have to put your faith into action.

The enemy wants to keep us from God. The only two things he can do is deceive and distract. If we are in the Word, then we know the Truth, but it’s easier to distract us. What is your life is distracting you from God? In today’s message, Pastor JD will be sharing about the things in this world that can be distracting us from Jesus.

Have you ever thought about how many things are distracting you from the important things in life? Maybe it’s work that's distracting you from your family. It could be a hobby that’s taking you away from your spouse. In today’s message, Pastor JD will be sharing about the distractions that take us away from Jesus.

The Story of Martha and Mary is something that most people can understand and identify with. The Idea of being distracted is something that everyone is familiar with, but do we understand how deep that can go? In today’s message, Pastor JD will be sharing about the difference between being distracted and being with Jesus.

In our current society, with so much at stake financially, globally, and culturally, it’s easy to let fear strike. In today’s prophecy update from Pastor JD, he wants you to know that through God’s free gift of salvation, you can be at peace. Leave all of your burdens and worries behind by letting Jesus into your heart.

In your walk with Jesus, do you ever consider His return? Do you live your life in expectation of Jesus coming back one day to redeem His people? Or do you ignore the stuff that sounds scary? Today, Pastor JD explains that you can’t ignore the imminence of Christ’s return. Always be ready to join Him in His Kingdom.

In your walk with Jesus, are there times when you doubt your faith? Do you ever hear God’s calling over your life, but don’t have the faith to do what He says? In today’s prophecy update, Pastor JD wants you to know that no matter what, God’s calling for your life will always be the best. Be a vessel for His Kingdom and be saved.

To get caught up in the what if’s, and worry over life is merely what it means to be human. Today, however, Pastor JD reminds us that, the more we focus on the world and on ourselves, the less we’re thinking about our Savior. What could be more worthy of our thoughts than Christ and everything He’s done for us?

We all have tendencies to be self-focused. It’s almost difficult to take yourself out of an equation and look at it without self-interest. But today, Pastor JD reminds us how important it is to not focus on merely yourself. In fact, if you put yourself out of mind, you’ll finally see all that’s been done for you, instead of to you.

Nobody enjoys being the subject of someone’s wrath. In fact, so many people are driven by trying to please everyone, that they often neglect themselves. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that, as far as wrath goes, we have nothing to fear from God. Jesus loves you so much that He took that wrath upon Himself, rather than see you die for it.

In the uncertain times that we live in today, sometimes it can be difficult to find hope. Maybe you’re struggling with past decisions or maybe you feel like there’s nowhere to turn. In today’s prophecy update, Pastor JD explains that the only way to find everlasting hope is through Jesus. Let Him into your life and be rejuvenated.

The Gospel is something that confronts us. Some might say that it’s offensive. To accept the Gospel is to acknowledge that it’s calling us a sinner. The Gospel says that there is something wrong with us and we need help. It is only Jesus who came to save us. In today’s message, Pastor JD will share this gospel.

One of the things that we hear people say today is “Christian Something.” That person is a Christian Republican or Christian Democrat. If we are not careful, these titles can actually cause division. In today’s message, Pastor JD will be sharing the dangers of this. The enemy can use that to keep the church from being effective.

We mistakenly put a lot of faith in our emotions; we think that living a happy life is what it all comes down to. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that there is more to us than our emotions. And even if you’re living life based on feelings, you’re still better off not letting them rule you. Happiness is circumstantial. Joy is invariable in Christ.

Sometimes we give ourselves way too much credit. We often think that we have a much bigger effect on life than we really do. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that, as much as we do, we cannot disrupt the plan of God. We can walk in His will, and we can walk independently of God’s will, but His Will will prevail all the same.
