In Spirit & Truth

God’s ways are not burdensome to us, but a comfort. In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us that, like Ezekiel, we can know God’s way is perfect. God does not give us experiences or challenges too big. He does empower us to be faithful and perform His commands. We are not to question Him, just obey.

Sin has consequences. God is just, and He must address sin. While wrongful actions may bring temporary pleasure, their ultimate outcome is death. We may be saved from the punishment of sin, but sinful deeds will lead to outcomes that result in sorrow. Your sins will be addressed by a Holy God.

The Bible shares that Satan has a mission to steal, kill, and destroy our lives. Have you ever wondered what his go-to method is that usually gets the job done? Today, Pastor JD tells you how the enemy uses distractions to pull you away from God. He uses it to steer you off from the amazing purpose God has for you!

In the past, turning on the news allowed you to see events happening around the world. However, there is something you might not notice today: Christians everywhere are facing persecution and scrutiny. So today, Pastor JD reminds you that despite everything happening in the world, God will ultimately prevail!

As you observe the direction the world is headed, doesn’t it seem strikingly similar to the biblical descriptions of the end times? In today’s message, Pastor JD emphasizes that the events occurring in the world are not mere coincidences; rather, they align with God’s plan, and that in the end, He wins!

God uses how we respond to the events in our lives to influence others. In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us that people observe our reactions to challenging circumstances to see if our faith is genuine and effective. When we live differently from others, it encourages people to seek out Christianity.

Don’t make the mistake of looking to the world for help in this life! Think of the story of the prodigal son: when he had something to give, the world showed him favor. But Pastor JD warns you that when you need something from the world, it will leave you high and dry. You’ll call, and the world will not answer.

Scripture teaches that you cannot serve two masters! If you try and build up your life in the things of the world, the Lord will turn His face away from you. Pastor JD doesn’t want you to be left on the outside looking in, he wants to see you leave the things of the world aside, to run wholeheartedly after God!

When the hardships of this world feel overwhelming, it’s comforting to remember that this world we live in is not our true home. In today’s message, Pastor JD encourages you to view life through a heavenly perspective and to understand that your real home is in heaven, beside Jesus Christ, and that the day He returns is near.

In this life, we encounter many obstacles. Sometimes, these periods of hardship are not merely coincidental; they serve a purpose in our lives. Today, Pastor JD wants you to understand that the storms you face may bring you to a crossroads, presenting a choice: to follow the world or to choose Jesus Christ.

As Pastor JD continues his prophecy update, he’ll be reminding you that plenty of false teachers today claim to teach God’s Word. Some claim to be Christians, and some claim to bring a word from God from outside of the Bible. It is vitally important that every Christian compare every teaching with what the Bible says!

God is a God of mercy, but also of justice. He knows when wrongdoing has been done, and He will bring about the accurate result and outcome. Today, Pastor JD discusses how this relates to this chapter in Ezekiel about things that have been done that were unlawful. God sees, and He acts accordingly to what’s right.

Are you struggling with a trial and feeling like God is not with you? God could be using the trial to purify you and bring you closer to Him. In today’s message, Pastor JD explains how the house of Israel, became “dross,” because of their idolatry, and how God purified them, to bring them closer to Him.

The Word of God is so powerful. It can penetrate even the hardest of hearts that God compares it to a double-edged sword. Are there areas in your life that need to let the Word of God cut through? Today, Pastor JD will remind you that if you seek and hear the word of God it will remove the sin that is hindering your life.

Today, Pastor JD will explain that it's a person’s choice whether to accept the truth of Jesus as presented in the Scriptures. To receive the truth and the love God offers is in keeping with His teachings, “This is love for God: to obey His commands”. Conversely, to know the truth and not obey it is to face the wrath of God.

Today, Pastor JD will explain that why God is sending a strong delusion in the end times. The Bible says: “They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie”. Simply put, God sends a strong delusion to those who reject Jesus.

The Bible prophesies of many events that will occur in the end times. In today’s message, Pastor JD will explain that these events can be natural signs, spiritual signs, sociological signs, technological signs, and political signs. Since these signs are present in abundance, you can be certain these are the End Times.

Having a personal relationship with Jesus can completely transform your life from darkness to light. Today, Pastor JD will remind you that there are so many more people who don’t have that relationship with Jesus yet, and it can be disheartening. Don’t be discouraged, but use it as a motive to tell others about Jesus.

What does it mean to fear the Lord? Today, Pastor JD explains this fear through an analogy of marriage. Just as we fear doing something that might hurt our spouse, fearing the Lord means we avoid actions that could wound God's heart. Our love for Him should guide and constrain our thoughts and actions every day.

Why did God give His people the Ten Commandments? Was it to restrict their enjoyment of life or suppress their self-expression? In his message today, Pastor JD will explain the true purpose behind these rules. God desires to protect us. As our Creator, He knows everything that will bring us peace, joy, and success.

In today’s message, Pastor JD will warn you against what the world deems as “normal” or “necessary”. Some medicines, technology, and even hobbies can be deceitful and actually be a huge distraction and pull from the Lord. So, as you go about you life, living in this world, be aware of what YOU allow as “normal”.

In today’s message, Pastor JD will ask you the question, “Wouldn’t you want to be warned and warn others on what is to come?”...well, God did too! He wanted to warn His children, you and I, and He clearly told us what is to come. None of this should come as a surprise or worry us, for He is coming back!

In today’s message, Pastor JD will teach about how the world is going into a cashless economy. With the crazy ways the world is changing, not for the better, remember to stay diligent in your walk with Christ! Stay faithful to the Lord in these crazy times, and He will stay close to you! He will be with you through it ALL!!

God’s purpose in delivering His people from Egypt was to bring honor and glory to His name. In his message today, Pastor JD suggests that God sent the plagues to make the Israelites want to leave their captivity. He aimed not only to take His people out of Egypt but to remove the “Egypt” mentality from within them.

When you’re going through a time of grief, it’s easy to lash out at everything and anyone who tries to get close to you. But Pastor JD reminds you today that Jesus is always near to the brokenhearted. He doesn’t force you to acknowledge or accept His peace, but the peace He provides surpasses all understanding.
