Walking in Truth

We tend to think that if our ministry is bearing fruit that God is pleased. But, as Pastor Johnny says today, this is not always the case. Sometimes God cuts down what seems to be fruitful so that better and more fruit can grow. Did God ever prune you? It hurts, doesn't it? God knows what He's doing. Trust Him!

Does this sound like you? You're abiding in the vine, yet you feel down in the dumps. Pastor Johnny teaches today that part of the pruning process is to cleanse the fruit by removing the dirt and pests that cling to you. Do you need to be refreshed? May The Holy Spirit clean out your heart today and make it fresh and new again. 

If you obey Jesus, why? Is it because you love Him or because it’s your duty? Today, Pastor Johnny says obedience should be because you love Jesus. Your motivation for loving Him shows the quality of your relationship with Him. A healthy relationship breeds love. May your motivation for obeying Jesus be pure and right.

So true! Pastor Johnny tells us today that people will accept faith in anyone or in anything except Jesus. Jesus set Himself apart from all others when He declared that He’s the only way to get to The Father. Indeed, He is the way. Do you trust Jesus or what others say? Your answer determines your future forever. Trust Jesus!

We often downplay The Holy Spirit in our lives. He may seem spooky, but, as Pastor Johnny teaches today, He possesses divine wisdom and knowledge. He is God and has all the traits we see in God The Father. Are you listening to The Holy Spirit when He talks to you? He knows what He's doing. It's wise to heed His words.

Do you remember times when Bible verses jumped off the page at you? Pastor Johnny declares today that this is The Holy Spirit speaking and you should listen to Him. The Holy Spirit still speaks today. His job is to guide you to The Truth. Do you hear Him speaking to you? He wants to direct all your thoughts. So, let Him!

Often, we think we know what God is like without considering His Word. Today, Pastor Johnny teaches us that false notions arise when we do this. The entire Bible shows us God’s character. He's loving, but just. Do you base your grasp of God on the Bible? Either way, your knowledge of God will increase by reading His Word.

Many of us go through our day without even thinking about eternity. Pastor Johnny reminds us today that we're only a heartbeat away from eternity. So true! Have you thought about eternity today? You're really a spiritual being living in a physical world. Eternity is more real and more lasting than anything on this Earth.

Don't be fooled. There's a timing with God. Today, Pastor Johnny proclaims that there'll be a time when salvation is no longer available. Salvation is available today but might not be tomorrow. Are you ready to hear God's decision about your future? One day everyone will meet God. Will the meeting be joyous or terrifying?

This is not a popular thought in our culture. Our culture doesn't want to believe that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. People would rather forge their own pathway to Heaven. But, as Pastor Johnny points out today, Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Will you embrace our culture or Jesus? Choose wisely, your decision will last forever!

Do you have doubts about God? Are you struggling to believe the Bible? In today’s message from Pastor Johnny, you’ll learn that it’s okay to have doubts. It’s okay to be unsure. God can work with that. Just do not harden your heart from God. Instead in sincerity, ask Him to reveal Himself to you and to give you faith.

Do you ever wonder what heaven will be like? Today Pastor Johnny teaches in his message that Jesus is preparing a place for ALL who believe in Him. Not was preparing, IS preparing! Can you even begin to imagine how wonderful heaven will be? If your faith is in Jesus, eternity in His presence is your inheritance!  

Are you hurting? Do you feel troubled? In today’s message from Pastor Johnny, you’ll learn that Jesus loves you and doesn’t wish for you to be troubled. Invite Him into your situation. Ask for His help. Jesus is trustworthy and faithful. He is for you and wants what’s best for you. Put your hope in the One who loves you most.

Are you looking for real, lasting love? You’ll learn in today’s teaching from Pastor Johnny, that JESUS loves you with a pure, unconditional, eternal love. He’s waiting with open arms for you to accept and run into His love. If you’ve not put your faith in Jesus, let today be that day. It’s the best decision you’ll ever make.

Is there someone you’re struggling to forgive? In today’s message from Pastor Johnny, you’ll be encouraged to ask the Lord to help you. Jesus has commanded us to love one another. Yes, even THAT person. When you know Jesus, that once impossible task, becomes possible. Let Him replace your hate with love.

Have you asked these questions? In today’s teaching from Pastor Johnny, you’ll learn that the Bible clearly answers them. God made you to know and love Him. After death, you go to one of two places. Heaven’s for those who have put their faith in Jesus. Hell’s an eternal separation from God for those who haven’t.

It’s not enough the Scripture says for us to love those who love us! However, as Pastor Johnny explains in today’s message, we are to love those whom we would call our enemies. That’s a whole other kind of love that we need empowerment for. We need the help of the Holy Spirit to show this love. Ask Him to help you!

It’s not enough just to hear the Word, you must do it! In today’s message, Pastor Johnny explains the importance of follow-through as a disciple of Jesus. No one truly cares how much you know until they know how much you care. Be the hands and feet of Jesus. Don’t just say the Word, put it into practice!

Ever notice just how much pollution is in the world? As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Johnny, he teaches you about pollution other than the environment. He explains to you that sin is another pollution that permeates our world. The solution to this pollution is Jesus. The world needs to receive Jesus!

Are you giving the Lord your “first fruits?” Pastor Johnny shares within today’s message that it’s important to offer the Lord your best. Don’t give God your leftovers of time, money, or resources. Be faithful to what you’ve been given. Every good and perfect gift is from God anyway. Give back to Him all He has generously given to you!

When you have a heart that loves Jesus, you will do all that you can to draw near to Him. In today’s message from Pastor Johnny, he encourages you always to prioritize fellowship with Jesus and other believers. When you do, you will be stronger and your faith will be sharpened. Keep pursuing the spiritual disciplines that ground you in Jesus. 

Is there a distinction in the way you live your life? As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Johnny, he explains that as a disciple of Jesus, you’re called to be salt and light to this world. People need to see the heart of Jesus that you carry. They need to know that something is different about you and it’s Jesus in you!

Too often, people in this world have a perception of God being this mean villain - who just wants to hand out judgments and hardship. As you heard from a section of today’s message, Pastor Johnny wants you to be assured that God is kind, merciful, and patient with mankind – beyond what some might expect.  

Maybe you’re sensing the need for a spiritual revival in your own heart today. As you listen to more of what Pastor Johnny has to share, be willing and open to what God might be speaking to you personally about pursuing Him and worshipping Him with all your heart. Your worship should overflow into all of your life!

Plenty of people are familiar with the term, “Going to confession.” But today, Pastor Johnny shares the inner workings of what it means to truly confess what you’ve done and to have a desire to make things right. Jesus is the One you can go to, admitting that you’re sinful and broken, and He forgives!
