Walking in Truth

Some people feel like they’re untouchable; like they have all the time in the world. Pastor Johnny reminds us today, however, that no one knows what tomorrow will bring. If you’re waiting to make things right with God because you think you have plenty of time to consider your options, think again. Eternity is a long time when you don’t know where you’ll spend it. Satan hopes you’ll make light of i...

We can all relate to acting or dressing a certain way in order to impress someone. Pastor Johnny talks today about who we should be striving to impress, on a daily basis. When you accept Jesus as your Savior, you accept a change of heart. Change always comes with challenges and your faith isn’t any different. Instead of blaming God for your trials, think of them as ways to prove your heart. If you...

We’ve all apologized when we didn’t really mean it; they’re just words that made someone else feel better. Today, Pastor Johnny talks to us about what it means to repent. When you change your mind, you change your ways; which is exactly what repentance is. No longer do you say or do things to make others feel better, but because you feel different. When you love God with all your heart, mind and s...

With most things you buy, there’s an instruction manual to help you understand how to use the tool. Without that manual, you might be scratching your head for hours trying to fix a part or even attempting to find a part. Today, Pastor Johnny points you toward a passage in the Bible that gives you so many tools for living a life that will trust God, even when things in life don’t make sense. It’s e...

Your mind is one of the greatest battlefields you might face. So how do you train your mind to believe only what is true and not allow your mind to be clogged by the things that are false or negative? Pastor Johnny’s message today includes truth from the Bible that is a helpful guide as you discern how to live your life. If you’re looking for input about peace over anxiety, or truth over lies, tod...

Sometimes, you’re faced with challenging circumstances and your character shines through and rises above the rubble of the current situation. If you choose to stay in a place of worry, you become ineffective and easily sink into despair. Pastor Johnny mentions today that many times, energy is put toward worrying, and that worry then multiplies. But if you realize you’re not the one in control, but...

What is it about death’s defeat that feels so triumphant? It’s achieving what seems impossible. Through Jesus, He is the ultimate hero in defeating death and conquering sin. All that is necessary is for you to believe in your heart and receive God’s free gift of salvation that grants you eternal life with Him. If this sounds too good to be true, be assured that it is a reality spoken in God’s Word...

There’s the age-old saying, “Seeing is believing.” Could there be anything more counter to the truth when it comes to faith? The whole foundation of faith is the fact that you believe without seeing. Even after Jesus was raised from the dead and was walking around on earth, some people had a hard time believing He was who He claimed to be. Pastor Johnny gives a stirring reminder today that God des...

If you were to imagine someone who had the potential to be the most despairing, hopeless person in the Bible, who would it be? Pastor Johnny mentions today how Peter could have lost all hope after witnessing Jesus’ arrest and then denying Him. On the flip side, Peter ends up being one of the most outspoken disciples following Jesus’ resurrection. This one word “hope” was a game-changer for Christi...

Doubt and unbelief in Jesus and who He is will take you to a dark place. It's crucial that you know Him and His Word as truth. Pastor Johnny challenges you today to know the Bible and to believe in it. He explains to you the importance of knowing what you believe and why so that you can confidently place Jesus as your center. The Bible is God’s Word. It is Truth. Do you see it as such? If not, now...

Are you a person of integrity? If someone was to watch you every day, would they think of you as a solid and trustworthy person, or as a hypocritical and dishonest one? Pastor Johnny reminds you today of the importance of being a role model. Every day, you should live a life that demonstrates Godly character. You should be a consistent person who's aware of the good and evil in this world. You sho...

No service to God will be left unrewarded. All things that you've done for Him He knows about. He sees the hard work and time that you've committed and He's thankful for it. Pastor Johnny challenges you today to not hold back the things that God has placed in your heart. No matter how small or irrelevant they may seem. Do the things that He asks of you and do them knowing that you'll please Him. A...

It's important to understand that as a Christian you need to be putting time into your relationship with Christ. Simply showing up for Church every now and then is simply not enough. Today Pastor Johnny reminds you that Christianity's about being in a relationship with Jesus. To be in a relationship means setting aside time to develop your love for Him. Just as you would dedicate time to the perso...

If you feel as though God has gone silent to you the first question that you should be asking yourself is “am I living according to His Word?”. Pastor Johnny teaches you today that if you are blatantly sinning against God then you're likely silencing Him from your life. Though sin will always be in your nature you're to fight it. When you embrace the sin and practice in it unforgivingly you'll be...

Maybe you’ve experienced this as a parent or with a peer, where they thought you meant something else and your motives were misconstrued. Jesus must have felt this way as He entered Jerusalem on a lowly donkey. Pastor Johnny introduces a passage today about Palm Sunday and what that represented for Jesus. Pastor Johnny also shares what the people thought it represented. Their desire was for Jesus...

Today, Pastor Johnny gives an empowering teaching about your hope being in Jesus. When you display this to others, it will be evident that you ar...

You’ve heard the expression, “rally the troops.” So here’s a suggestion in this time and place, to be willing to be part of God’s army. With others by your side, you can rally together in practical and prayerful ways to serve the church body and to also be resolute in a time in history when no one is left unaffected by what’s going on. Pastor Johnny calls you to shift your perspective from the cha...

Have you ever learned how to do something the correct way and then gone back to do it wrong again, just for kicks? That would be idiotic. If you know the right way, why would you try anything else? Pastor Johnny talks to us today about how your relation-ship with the Lord takes work and commitment on your part. If you don’t take time to get into your Bible or to pray to God, how do you expect to g...

People say that truth is too exclusive. But isn’t that what truth is? If you say something is true, then by default, you’re saying the opposite is false. Pastor Johnny talks to us today about how everyone is invited to Christianity. It doesn’t matter what you have or what you’ve done, God judges based off the heart. If yours is sincere and contrite, then you are a child of His. The only exclusive...

It can be easy to fall into a mindset of disappointment. People constantly let you down and life is full of battles. But Pastor Johnny reminds us today that, as Christians, we have the gift and ability to “renew our minds.” Through the Bible, we can grow and learn to not be anxious and to not worry about the future because God has already taken care of it. When you have the Creator of the Universe...

Some of us dream of theatrical ways of proving others wrong. When we’re right, we want everyone to know. Today, Pastor Johnny talks about how Jesus came, humbly to this earth. He came to save us and to prove a point and yet it was in a stone manger that He was laid. He came this way so that there could be no excuses. He lived amongst the lowest and He triumphed in ways we don’t think about. Jesus...
