In Spirit & Truth

If we were to be honest, it's much easier to look down upon the sins of others than it is to acknowledge our own. Perhaps one of the more common ways we do this is with none other than Israel. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on the contrast between Israel's sin and our own, and how God faithfully chastises those whom He loves.

If we were to be perfectly honest, many of us would rather experience the blessings and power of our salvation without the trials and suffering. However, as Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, experiencing the power of the resurrection comes only after we share in the sufferings of Christ, as taught by Scripture.

As believers in Christ, nothing can be more exciting than to analyze the geopolitical tensions that are arising globally in contrast to biblical prophecy. On the other hand, these things sometimes bring fear and anxiety into our lives. In today's message, Pastor JD will remind you that all things are under the authority of God and He keeps no secrets from His own.

Whenever events of significance occur in other countries, many of us are either apathetic or we simply don't hear of them in the first place. However, when it comes to Israel, we typically hear about what's going on whether we want to or not. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on the re-election of Netanyahu and the significance of his failure to form a coalition.

Prosperity within the body of believers has been quite the controversial topic from time to time. As Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, it's not so much what's in your bank account, but rather what's in your heart. In his study, you'll learn the importance of regularly reflecting on whether your belongings take precedence, or The Lord does.

As students of God's Word, having a general knowledge of world history can be beneficial to our studies. As Pastor JD points out in today's message, all of the plagues of Egypt were actually judgements against Egypt's worship of false gods. In his study, you'll learn yet another example of the awesome and wonderful power of The One True God.

With the amount of horrors and atrocities we regularly read about in the news, one would think we actually comprehend how wicked the heart is. However, as Pastor JD reflects in his consideration of the Psalms, even those who witness God's miracles firsthand can still harden their hearts. In today's study, you'll learn more about the rebellious hearts of Israel.

The Psalms are perhaps some of the greatest treasures in Scripture that serve to re-encourage, uplift, and fortify us in our faith. As Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, one of the best ways we can do this is by memorizing, meditating on, and sharing passages of Scripture. When's the last time you handled God's Word in such a way?

As Pastor JD continues to share a broad view of Biblical prophecy in his message today, you'll also be reminded that the Lord is coming back soon! The end times events are going to occur, and now is the time to give your life to Jesus. Pastor JD will give you step by step instructions today on how to do this with the ABC's of Salvation!

Today Pastor JD will be taking a slightly different approach to the Prophecy update. He'll be taking a look at the wider scope of Biblical prophecies, looking to the Old and New Testaments to help define current events. Pastor JD today will share what he believes to be the Top 10 prophecies that can be seen in the world right now!

As painful as it can be in the times we need it most, waiting on God to respond or move in our lives during difficulty always pays off in the end. As Pastor JD will remind you in his message today, God rules over all, and God overrules all. In his study, you'll be encouraged to take heart in knowing that God never forsakes His own.

Whenever we have a friend or loved one in need, we're often quick to try and comfort them with words, rather than sympathy, compassion, and love. In some cases, we can even end up doing more damage than good. As Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, we should be both sensitive and discerning when others are in need.

Have you ever found yourself wondering why it seems as though God is silent during the times you need Him most in your life? In today's message, Pastor JD will teach you that it's times like these that your faith and reliance upon God can grow the most. In his study, you'll learn the importance of humbly depending upon The Lord.

As you've probably experienced at some point in your walk with The Lord, the Christian life can sometimes feel burdensome. In some cases, it can even feel as though life was easier before coming to Christ. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on the Psalmist's plea before God in regards to the spiritual tensions that occur in the life of the believer.

Gospel means “good news.” The good news of Jesus Christ is that He came down from heaven in the form of a man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins, and returned to Heaven where He will remain until His second coming. When you choose Jesus, you are free in Christ. Today, Pastor JD asks, “What are you doing with that freedom?”

Today, Pastor JD again discusses the tensions between Iran, Israel, the United States and other nations. He asks the important question, “So why does it even matter?” It matters because prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. The Lord’s return is imminent. It is better that we be ready and have the Lord tarry, than for Him to come and we be unprepared!

While we might be grateful looking back with hindsight, there's not very many of us that are ecstatic when we're in the midst of trials or suffering. In most cases, all we can think of is when they'll end. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on how God uses our trials and suffering to establish a deeper relationship that we wouldn't experience otherwise.

Whether we care to admit it or not, many of us struggle with patience in our lives. Combine this with the reality that God is never late, nor is He ever early, patience ends up being quite the challenge. However, as Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, God's timing is His own and for many good reasons.

Many of us would find it hard to believe that God would use someone who deliberately disobeyed His instruction to enter into ministry. However, one of the greatest examples of this is none other than Jonah. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on what is perhaps one of the greatest revivals to take place, even in Jonah's rebellion.

All throughout history words have transformed in both their meaning and their usage. While many of these changes are perfectly fine, some of them have ended up being rather unfortunate. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on certain words being made common that were once reserved to describe our holy, righteous, and awesome God.

Tensions between the US and Iran are at an all-time high and continuing to escalate. At some point, someone will break.

Many of us would be quick to agree that there's often barriers in place when it comes to the translation of languages and cultures. When it comes to the Bible, this can be especially true. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on this reality while teaching us how a minor variation can result in a major misunderstanding.

Today Pastor JD teaches us about two kinds of worship: silent and thunderously loud. God is the picture of perfection, and He is forever worthy of our worship. Pastor JD wants you to know that while sometimes quiet and silent worship is the best, at other times, it’s necessary to lift your voice and hands in reverent worship of the Almighty.

Pastor JD explains what fear is, and how it can be a form of not trusting in Jesus. Jesus wants to give you His love and peace, but sometimes the trials of life might make you question that fact. Well, Pastor JD wants you to know that you shouldn’t question the Lord’s will, for He does everything with purpose and reason, even when you aren’t able to see it yet.
