Walking in Truth

Sometimes, when life throws us its harshest curveballs, it’s difficult to understand why we face seasons of difficulty and hardship. Today, Pastor Johnny wants you to know that there is a plan for your life and that every trial serves a purpose. And in the middle of every storm, Jesus is there right with you, guiding you to the other side.

When you look at the state of the world, it’s easy to lose hope when it feels like those in power don’t care about your feelings. But today, Pastor Johnny wants you to understand that everything happening in this life is according to the will of God. There will come a day when the Lord will return, and every knee will bow in His presence.

At times in your walk with Christ, the weight of the world can feel overwhelming, leading you to question whether you are strong enough to endure. This feeling can be even more intense if you are in a leadership position. That’s why Pastor Johnny reminds you that placing your faith in Jesus allows Him to guide you through any storm.

Have you ever felt like you were moving from one storm to another, wondering when your time of peace will arrive? In today’s message, Pastor Johnny encourages you to place your faith in Jesus Christ and trust in His promises for your life, assuring you that He will keep you safe and help you prosper.

If you’ve been in the church for a long time, you know that not everyone is perfect. Sometimes, when someone goes through a series of unfortunate experiences, it can lead them to question whether all people in Christ behave that way. But today, Pastor Johnny encourages you to have faith in Jesus and allow Him to place godly people in your life.

In today’s message, Pastor Johnny wants to remind you that when it comes to your salvation, there’s nothing you can do to earn it. Because of what Jesus Christ did for you on the cross, He freely gives you His Grace. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and only through Him will you have everlasting life

In today's world, we often seek convenience. We can have food delivered to our homes or get a ride with just a few taps on our phones. Many people expect a similar level of ease when they approach Christianity. However, Pastor Johnny reminds us that there is no shortcut to eternal life; the only way is through Jesus Christ.

Often in life, we strive to take control over every aspect of our lives. It's human nature to want things to go our way. But when it comes to eternal life, it’s important to understand that it isn’t something we can earn. Today, Pastor Johnny wants you to know that salvation is a gift based on what Jesus has already done.

The Holy Spirit is a wonderfully generous gift from God. While our salvation is indeed sealed by the Spirit, God could’ve simply left it at that. However, as Pastor Johnny discusses in his message today, it’s through God’s Spirit that we’re made aware of our shortcomings, and by His Spirit, we get the strength to change.

Have you ever been a part of a Church meeting and noticed that the plans discussed seem to center around those involved, rather than God? While it’s good to use our abilities for the Kingdom, Pastor Johnny reflects on the importance of making sure that it’s God behind our plans, not just our own abilities. 

The Old Testament is filled to the brim with allusions and depictions of Christ. All we have to do is discover them with a little diligence and cross-referencing. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny reflects on the depictions of Christ found in the Old Covenant practices that Israel was instructed to follow.

Nothing can be more comforting than to know God is in control, next to the comfort of our own salvation, of course. The question we need to ask ourselves is whether or not we’re living in that comfort. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will encourage you to reflect on the comfort of knowing that God is sovereign over all things.

Many of us would be quick to agree that hindsight is absolutely priceless. However, that hindsight is useless if we don’t take it upon ourselves to learn from it when it matters most. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny teaches about the importance of regularly looking to God’s Word for knowledge, wisdom, and encouragement.

While many of us prefer to reflect on the graciousness of God, it doesn’t mean that His anger no longer exists. In fact, it’s actually to our benefit if we keep in mind why God gets angry. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny begins his study in Zechariah while reflecting on the heart of God, Who is angered by the destruction that follows sin.

It can be demoralizing to look at someone who just seems to have way more success than you despite coming from the same roots. But Pastor Johnny encourages you to rejoice in the success of your brother or sister, instead of letting comparison and envy rob you of your joy. Thank the Lord for what He has given you!

Life can be quite a rollercoaster of emotions. One day, you’re feeling great and on top of the world, and one phone call or bad day can send you spiraling into a season of depression. Pastor Johnny encourages you to hold onto the Lord in those times and to remember that those low points are opportunities for you to trust in Him.

It is a wise decision to wait on the Lord’s timing for things, because His ways are higher than our own. But Pastor Johnny warns us today not to let that lull us into a place of complacency. We shouldn’t be inactive while waiting on the Lord, we should be doing good work for the Kingdom wherever we find ourselves.

Just showing up to church every week isn’t enough to save you from the penalty of sin. The Bible warns you that even some people you think are “good” in life will not make it into Heaven in the last days. Pastor Johnny reminds you that only a relationship with Jesus Christ will redeem you from the sting of death.

Sin can hide in every corner of your life if you allow it to fester and grow. You may be able to hide your sin from the people around you, but Pastor Johnny warns you that you can’t hide your sin from God! The Lord can see into the deepest, darkest places of your soul, even the ones you have hidden from yourself.

We as humans need to focus our attention and devotion on something in order to function properly. Pastor Johnny teaches us today that there are many things we can give our attention to, but the only one that will bring us lasting peace is the Kingdom of God. Worldly things will never satisfy that craving in our hearts.

Idols are still real today. They’re not just old statues that people used to worship in place of God, but they are all around us and are probably parts of our regular lives. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will remind you that anything can become an idol if it replaces God. So, that could be your finances, family, your phone, and even your job.

If we’re feeling like God is somehow failing us, then it is pertinent that we take a close look at where we are and what we’re doing. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will remind you that God doesn’t fail… if you’re feeling let down, ask yourself, “When was the last time I prayed or read my Bible in obedient pursuit of God?”.

No matter what is going on in the world or what state our society and even government are in, Jesus Christ doesn’t change! That means His prevailing goodness in our lives won’t end…ever!!! In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will bring the hope that is Jesus Christ to any and all situations that are weighing on your heart.

Maybe you have been fighting against the Lord…maybe you are struggling with fully surrendering to Him…if that is you, Pastor Johnny will encourage you to surrender in today’s message! Just like you can see in the story of Nineveh, God will conquer… There is nothing that can stop Him from getting your heart and blessing you!

Faith must be tested and tried in order for it to grow! Faith cannot stand on nothing… It has to stand on the faithfulness of God in and during your life! In today’s message, Pastor Johnny will ask you where your faith stands. Do you believe God is still good even when life feels like it’s falling apart?
