Ring of Truth

Have you ever met a fellow believer and noticed a clear Sin in their life? Sometimes we can get really judgmental and start thinking or even talking about them in a negative way. In today’s message, Pastor Dan will be sharing about how we should judge people. The Bible says that we are to evaluate ourselves and our sins before we come at other people. The main motivation for pointing out a sin in...

You already know you can't serve God and money, but do you surrender your daily latte to God's direction? Do you use your fancy car to bring food to the elderly or to take you to the football game? What makes you more angry, when someone injures a child, or when someone scratches the paint on your car? All of these things show a lot about who you truly serve. Jesus has a lot to say about where you...

What's the safest investment these days? Stocks? Bonds? Burying all your money in the backyard, or hiding it under your mattress? Maybe it's investing in gold! In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to use the words of Jesus to show you that there is no safe space on earth for your wealth. Instead, Jesus offers a better investment! Let go of the treasures of this world and invest your time, your...

What situation in your life is pressing in on you until you feel like you can't even breathe? Maybe it's next month's rent and you're not sure where it's going to come from. Maybe it's diapers for your newborn that you just can't afford. Maybe it's uniforms for the new job you just got, but you don't know if you can pay for them! In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to highlight one of the most...

When you grow up in America, it's easy to adopt the attitude of America—the independent, do-it-my-own-way philosophy of life. But when it comes to following Jesus, it's time to lay down the independence. There are certain things that Jesus doesn't even command us to do; he just expects it! So how about it, are you fasting, praying, and doing charitable deeds? Come along with us today as Pastor Dan...

Have you ever felt like an enemy of God? Have you ever felt like everything in your life is going wrong and there’s no one to blame but Him? In today’s message, Pastor Dan wants you to know that if you want to start making real changes in your life and quit dwelling in the past, give your life to God. When He is in your heart He will never be your enemy and will work everything for your good. Make...

Our society loves to value the outward appearance of people. Whether it’s social media, the news, or television, we are constantly bombarded with a physical standard for success. Today, Pastor Dan wants you to know that God only looks at you inwardly. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in your past or how unworthy you feel, God seeks only after hearts that are yearning for Him. Don’t let the world...

As Christians, we are called to be salt to the earth, but do we truly live it out to the fullest? Our society loves to make us think that it’s okay to accept certain beliefs of the world, but is it really harmless? In today’s message, Pastor Dan wants you to know that you should never compromise your faith based on what the world says. No matter how harmless a compromise may seem, it will only ser...

In our walk with Christ, it’s easy to grow disillusioned as to where we stand through Him. Sometimes we think that we’re doing everything right and start to get lazy, while other times we blatantly do what’s wrong and numb ourselves from it. Today, Pastor Dan explains that you need to remain steadfast in God’s Word in order to stay true to who you are in Christ. The more you avoid the Bible, the m...

In our walk with Jesus, it’s easy to let the issues of the world cloud our witness. Whether we let worldly ideas start to influence us or abandon the spread of God’s Gospel altogether, the world’s influence can have a huge grip on us. In today’s message, Pastor Dan wants you to know that you need to ignore what the world has to say and keep preaching the message that you know to be true. Just as J...

When we do something wrong, many of us love to just sweep it under the rug. If we can find a way to quietly move on with our lives without having to face the brass, we choose to go down that path. In today’s message, Pastor Dan wants you to know that the only way to move on from your past mistakes is to confess them to God. If you want to experience change in your life and stop living with guilt,...

Have you ever felt consumed by darkness? Have you ever felt stuck in your toxic thoughts with seemingly no way out? Today, Pastor Dan wants you to know that the only way to get rid of the darkness in your life is through Jesus. Give your life to Him and experience serenity like never before. Darkness doesn’t have to have a hold on your life and God wants nothing more than to change you from the in...

No matter where you’re at in your walk with Christ, one of the most difficult things to overcome is temptation. Every day we are confronted with easy opportunities to sin and how do we overcome it all? Today, Pastor Dan wants you to know that the only way to overcome sin is by the power of God’s Word. When Jesus was tempted in the desert, He got through it by quoting scripture and keeping it fresh...

In our faith, many of us are apprehensive to share God’s good news with others. Whether it’s a lack of Biblical knowledge, a penchant to fit in, or simply laziness, we find excuses to not follow through on God’s calling. Today, Pastor Dan explains that if you want to impact others for God’s kingdom, you need to hide His Word in your heart and share it with others. No matter how unequipped or out o...

In your faith, have you ever felt tested by the Lord? Have you felt like you’re doing everything right, only for trials and tribulations to come your way? In today’s message, Pastor Dan wants you to know that sometimes God does test you, but it shouldn’t be discouraging. He tests you to draw you even closer to Him and make sure you know where you’re faith really stands. When the storms of life are...

The Holy Spirit is upon you. The same Spirit who led and empowered Jesus to fulfill His ministry is with you today. Jesus didn't do anything outside of the empowering of the Holy Spirit. He didn't rely on being God. He relied on the Spirit. And by doing that, He showed you and me how to live. In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to show you that your life can be one that is filled with power an...

When it comes time for baptism at your church, who would you be shocked to see getting baptized? In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to show you that even Roman soldiers who heard John's message were going into the water to be baptized by him. It was so unlikely for them to be doing that—unheard of, even. Why would a great military power be moved by a Jewish prophet? God was doing mighty work...

In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to share from the end of the Old Testament, when God promised a coming Messiah and told of the man who would come before Him preparing the way. What followed was 400 years of silence from the heavens. Can you imagine when the people began talking about John the Baptist and his message? The stir must have been caused among the ones who were faithfully waiting...

For years I did what I knew I was supposed to do. I followed the rules of Christianity without ever really knowing the personal, relational Savior. Once I heard the voice of the Spirit, however, I took off running after Him and I have never looked back. What kind of relationship do you have with God today? Is it a life of rules and regulations? Or is it a living, vibrant relationship where you lis...

In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to bring you into a very familiar story—The Christmas Story! He's going to talk about the Magi traveling from far away to come to see Jesus. These foreigners were watching and waiting for the Messiah to come, unlike the religious leaders of the time. If you put yourself into that story, where would you fit? Do you faithfully attend church out of duty and rel...

Life is filled with decisions every single day. Some of them are simpler, like what to wear or what to make for dinner. But some are harder. Do I take that new job? Do I propose to my girlfriend? In today's message, Pastor Dan is going to remind you that in every decision you face, you have access to the God of the universe. The one who made you and has a plan for you has made himself available to...

Think back to the day before your wedding. Can you remember the frantic last-minute preparations? Maybe even the panic as you try to make sure everything is perfect? Think, too, about the joy and anticipation you felt as you waited to make your vows. I love picturing Jesus preparing a place for His bride—the church. He's getting everything ready and He is filled with anticipation of becoming one w...

Galatians 3:28 says, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Jesus turned all of society on its head. He valued the least of these. He elevated women and foreigners. He showed the world that it doesn't matter who you are, He loves you. Today, Pastor Dan is going to show us the influence of Jesus on Matthew...

Today, Pastor Don is going to begin a new series in the book of Matthew. This book was written to show the Jews that Jesus is indeed the Messiah they have been waiting for. There's a heavy emphasis on the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament and how Jesus fulfills every one of them. In Matthew chapter 1, you are going to see that even His birth and His family line are fulfillments of the Old...

What does the word “buffet” bring to mind? Are you already thinking of the endless food options for you to choose from? As a follower of Jesus, we cannot pick and choose the parts of the Bible we like and don't like. Pastor Dan magnifies the realization that the Bible is already the complete Word of God. God didn't miss any words in the instructions that He has for us in those 66 books. Why do som...
