Ring of Truth

The letters to the seven churches were not just written to those specific churches during that time period, but they are also being written to you as an individual. The commendations and rebukes mentioned throughout these letters can also be applied to you personally and specifically. Today, Pastor Dan will be encouraging you to take a personal inventory as you study the letters to these churches...

As Pastor Dan continues his teaching series through the book of Revelation, he'll be explaining how the lamp stand mentioned in the text today is speaking of the church's influence. Jesus said that he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life. Jesus is the Light and your job as the church is to be a lampstand and display the light of Jesus. Are you displaying Jesus to th...

Regardless of what takes place on this Earth during the End Times, God is still ultimately in control and on the throne in Heaven. Even right now in your life, things may seem out of control, but God is still sovereign and in control. What the enemy intends for evil, God will work out for your good in the end. Just like God worked out all the trials Joseph went through, he was beaten, left for dea...

As Pastor Dan continues his teaching series through the book of Revelation, he'll be reminding you of the great call that God has placed on your life. You've been called to be a royal priesthood, and in the future, you will be in a place where you'll even be in charge of judging the angels. Focus on what God has commanded you and watch how He gives you greater responsibility if you've been faithfu...

Today, Pastor Dan will be starting a new teaching series through the Book of Revelation, and he'll be encouraging you to not be hesitant in studying this great book. This is the one book of the Bible that promises a special blessing to those who read it! This book is first and foremost the revelation of Jesus, everything else such as the anti-Christ and the bowls of judgment are all secondary. Whe...

God, through Malachi, had a rebuke for His people. They gave no effort to knowing and following His word and they lost interest in knowing, loving, and serving God. And today, Pastor Dan will challenge you to, instead, cling to God, don’t lose your faith, and stay in His word! His word will give you understanding, guidance, hope, and truth to navigate through life. We’re close to Jesus’ second com...

When you look at our culture today, it’s hard to ignore the wickedness prevailing. Do you wonder if it’ll ever get better? Well, today, Pastor Dan has encouragement for you with the reminder that God will do away with all sin, judge all wickedness, and restore the world completely. He’ll remove evil from the world. And, as believers in Christ, take comfort. He’ll save you from this judgment and yo...

Generally, most people grow uncomfortable when a pastor begins to talk about giving and generosity. But, God talks of it frequently in His word. And today, Pastor Dan will encourage you to remember that God sees financial giving as an act of worship and thanksgiving. All you have is from God, and He asks you to give a small bit back to Him in order to use it for good in the world. Yes, it requires...

God’s people often turned away from Him, scorned and mocked Him, and completely rebelled and rejected His word. Yet, instead of forsaking His people, God sent messengers with the call to return to Him. Prophets sent by God brought these messages to repent, walk away from sin, and turn wholeheartedly to God. Today, Pastor Dan will describe God’s kindness and love through how offered forgiveness to...

What God calls sin is not only being tolerated today but is often celebrated and taught to others. But, this is nothing new to God. The priests in Malachi’s day told the people that God tolerates sin and delights in those who do evil. Yet, today, Pastor Dan will explain that God doesn’t delight in your sin. He actually grieves your rebellion. It breaks His heart that His people sin, especially whe...

Sadly, one practice that was happening in Israel, was that people were easily divorcing their wives. But, God is clear throughout His word, He hates divorce. His design was for 1 man and 1 woman to commit to each other in marriage and be united to them for life. Yet, as Pastor Dan teaches today, God’s people were dismissing the wives of their youth simply to experience something else. And today, d...

God addressed the priests in Malachi’s day with some convicting truths. They were leading God’s people astray. Most significantly by devaluing God’s word and teaching it was ok to be disobedient to it. The priests were the leaders of the nation of Israel. And the bad examples they set influenced the whole nation in terrible ways. And today, Pastor Dan will challenge you to be aware of the influenc...

So many times, among those who follow Christ, you’ll hear grumbling about having to serve here or there or having to go to this worship or that study. That was the view of God’s priests – they were tired of serving God and felt burdened by leading people toward God. Today, Pastor Dan will challenge you to view serving God as a privilege and an honor, instead of a burden and hassle. You may grow ti...

God’s people, before Christ, would sometimes sinfully offer their worthless animals, they're left over bits and pieces as a sin or praise offering to the Lord. Yet, as Pastor Dan will teach you today, God is deserving of our very best in life. He has given you life, grace, forgiveness, mercy and so much more. Show Him the honor and respect He deserves. Prioritize Him above all things in life. Give...

No one really likes being confronted with wrongdoing or being told they’re sinful. It’s easier to live in denial. Yet, as Pastor Dan teaches today, God often confronts people with their sins. He does it, not to be hurtful, but to restore people back to Himself. He does it to redirect people back to the best life He has for each of us. When God confronts and convicts you of the wrong you’re doing,...

What is the longest you have gone without feeling any pain? Even if you don't experience emotional pain, you probably feel some level of physical pain every day. A stubbed toe, a headache, or even hunger pains are just commonplace for each of us. But today Pastor Dan shows us a promise in the Bible. A day with no pain. No disappointment, no striving, no danger, or fear or hurt. This promise is not...

Do you have a friend that is always there for you, no matter what? It doesn't make a difference the time of day or how far away they are, they will make a point to help you out in your time of need. The Bible says that God is even closer to you than that. He will come the moment you call on him. Today Pastor Dan shows us an amazing truth from the book of Zechariah. In the last days, God won't just...

When you turn on a faucet, you expect water to come out. Whether it's a water fountain, the bathtub, or your kitchen sink, you never wonder if water will flow or not, it's just a given that it will be there. Well, when you come to Christ, you can always expect that the water will be flowing. He's ready to wash your sin clean. As Pastor Dan looks at the book of Zechariah today, remember that God is...

If you've ever been on the receiving end of an insincere apology, you know how worthless it is. Just saying the words “I'm sorry” doesn't indicate any heart change has taken place. True repentance doesn't come from the words you say, it comes from the posture of your heart. Today, Pastor Dan looks at the book of Zechariah and what it looks like when a nation experiences true repentance. A half-hea...

Have you ever watched someone fight a losing battle? Maybe it's a kid begging their parent for a new toy right up until the time they leave the store. Or maybe you've watched your favorite sports team play hard until the end, even when there was no way they could win. Humans are stubborn, and they will choose to fight God until the very end. Pastor Dan shows us today that even at the end of the wo...

God can't be surprised. No matter how good or bad you are, he's not shocked by any of it. You can't pull the wool over his eyes or manipulate him. He knows all the days of your life before you were even born! Even the future is history in God's eyes. And in the Bible prophecy, we get a sneak peek into some of that future. Today Pastor Dan shows us some of the amazing things prophesied in the book...

We all long for freedom. We want to be able to do whatever we want whenever we want, without worrying about finances, time, or other obligations. But what happens when it feels like God's will is hindering your freedom? Today, Pastor Dan shows us that just like Jesus, a shepherd has to lead his flock. He has to guide them on the path that he has set out. A sheep may want to go a different way, but...

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” You've probably heard that phrase before. It's the practical thing to do, to make sure you don't get burned by the same person multiple times. You've got to look out for yourself and do what you gotta do to take care of yourself....right? Today, Pastor Dan shows us that God doesn't operate that way. His mercies are new every morning. Becaus...

God is in the business of redemption. He can take the lowly and lift them high. He takes the outcast and gives them a home. He turns mourning into dancing and a spirit of heaviness into a song of thanksgiving. No one would ever choose a sheep to ride into battle. But as Pastor Dan teaches today, God will turn that timid sheep into a fierce war horse, ready to charge the enemy. God wants to transfo...

The world's peace is always temporary. Nations may draw truces, but they aren't forever. Someone might be nice to you if it's your birthday, but you can experience hostility from that same person a week later. We really can't fathom an eternal end to conflict and war. But as Pastor Dan teaches you today, that is exactly what you can expect when Jesus comes again. Peace and joy aren't just nice thi...
