Walking in Truth

As you heard Pastor Johnny say, there’s a lack of prayer in our country. There’s a lack of prayer in homes, in workplaces, in everything we do! Our lives, as believers and followers of Christ, should be saturated with prayer! Pastor Johnny will remind you today to communicate regularly with the Lord. And not just by yourself – come together with other believers often to lift united voices up to He...

We all pray at one time or another. Whether prayer is a regular part of your life or not, you can likely point to a moment you stopped to talk to God. You sent up a petition for a sick relative, or a stressful situation – and God hears you, every time! Today Pastor Johnny will encourage you to make conversation with the Lord a daily activity, and to pray for more than just others. Pray for yoursel...

The Apostle Paul was called into ministry in a rather dramatic fashion. You may not experience the same thing – a blinding light and a powerful voice as you’re walking down the street. But Pastor Johnny will encourage you today to follow the Lord’s leading, even if you can’t fully understand it right now. God has big plans for you! Just look at Paul – at Timothy – at the ordinary people in the Bib...

There’s so much in this world that’s vying for your spiritual attention – a popular book, or feel good verses taken out of context – maybe not even meaning what you think. Maybe it's an up and coming pastor who tells you how to get everything you want and be totally satisfied with this world – but forgets God. Everything that’s not based on the Bible, not grounded in GOD’S WORD – is false. It’s wr...

In times past, fishermen would cast their net out, hoping to catch some fish. Nowadays, fishermen will cast their fishing rod out, hoping to catch a fish.

It’s not something to make light of…as the decision you make about Jesus will have long...

When you first have a pet, you’re excited to care for it and to enjoy the benefits, such as having a companion that you can cuddle up with, or go for a walk with. But having a pet also requires some training or even correcting, for you to have an enjoyable animal living in your home. You love that pet, but sometimes you might have to correct her or train her to do certain habits the way you want....

When you’re discouraged, you go back to doing something that you think you’re good at, or that you used to have some kind of skill in. But if you’re doing it for the wrong reasons, you won’t be successful at it, even if you’re experienced in it. Today, Pastor Johnny teaches about a situation where the disciples noticed this very thing. They went back to something familiar, but it was for all the w...

But the truth is, if you were forever on an island, isolated from the rest of society, there’s no way that would be a good thing for you. God created people to be in relationship with each other and with Him. Today, Pastor Johnny wants you to see that being alone i...

But what would it take to help people see that the end of this life doesn’t have to be where it ends? What if there was no end to life? Today, Pastor Johnny gets into how Jesus’ resurrection not only means that Jesus died and is now alive, but it directly relates to you and your...

It’s easy to be happy and joyful toward God when things are going your way. But what about when things are really hard….when you’re in a huge trial in your life?

Death in this life is a somber experience….like it just wasn’t supposed to be this way. Even if a person is old and it’s expected, dying just feels wrong. The truth is, it wasn’t supposed to be this way, but death is one of the biggest signs of sin and its effects on the earth and on everything that lives. But Jesus defied death; He overcame it. And by doing this, He can help you overcome the even...

When you hear about the different parts of Jesus’ life, you realize that He was just temporarily in places. When He was conceived, He was in Mary’s womb for a time. Then when He was born, He was in a manger for an evening. When Jesus died, He was placed in a tomb for 3 days. But when you believe in what Jesus did, He comes and lives in your heart…not temporarily, but permanently! Today, Pastor Joh...

To drive well, you need to be looking at the road ahead of you.

Sometimes you wish you could’ve just said one more thing, in the heat of the moment. But would that have been the best, or would it have just added more fuel to the fire? Well in today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny shares some of the final words of Jesus, as He was on the cross. These were not words spoken out of anger or resentment, but out of a heart that was fully surrendered to God the Father. Jes...

When something is put under a lot of pressure, many times, it bursts, because of all the tension that’s been pressing in, and there needs to be some kind of relief. It’s realistic to think that a man named Pilate was feeling the weight of this, as an angry and violent mob put pressure on him to make a decision he knew was wrong. In today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny exposes the areas of weakness that...

You hear of people being tortured in other countries. People are treated unfairly and experience cruel methods of pain, being forced to come clean about who they are. Well, Jesus went through the most torturous beating, before enduring the cross. Today, Pastor Johnny helps you get a better understanding of what it meant when Jesus was punished. It’s easy to skim over some of these verses, but ther...

Imagine being a criminal who was on death row, and then realizing that someone decided to take your place so, that you could be free.

Jesus did this very thing for you…you can live in freedom because He took your place! Don’t wallow around, feeling g...

When you like something enough in the store to buy it, you’re not looking to return it. But when you get it home, you realize it may not fit, or it’s not quite what you wanted.

You may be surprised that it doesn’t fit your current lifestyle, or you may realiz...

Can you even try to imagine living your life without doing a single sin? This is an impossible task for any human….except for exactly one person in history. In this message today, Pastor Johnny helps explain that Jesus came to earth and experienced humanity, without sinning Himself. No loss of temper that was out of control, no jealousy or envy that brings about more sin. No lying or deceiving oth...

“Your personal truth” is a common phrase that you hear these days. It’s a very individualized idea that what you personally think is true - makes it true. Well, this so-called “truth” is false. Today, Pastor Johnny expresses how people in Jesus’ time, and people, now get confused and skeptical about what’s true. But what it boils down to is if you believe the Bible is accurate, and if so, you have...

When you think of political regimes of the past, you are reminded that not much has changed between then and now. People are put in positions of authority to rule and reign, but many times, they don’t know what they’re doing, or where they’re going. This was the case in Jesus’ time too! Today, Pastor Johnny talks about a man who had some control over Jesus’ trial. He sought to get the approval of...

You get close to a fire to keep yourself warm. The further away from the fire you are, the colder you’ll be. Well, in today’s case, the fire could be a good thing or a bad thing. It really depends on what kind of fire it is, and what it's setting ablaze in your heart. Pastor Johnny discusses a man named Peter today, who moved away from one fire, to find acceptance somewhere else. Today, you’ll get...
