In Spirit & Truth

Part of human nature is having an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. However, Jesus teaches us to turn the other cheek and walk the extra mile instead. In today’s message, Pastor JD will challenge you to live up to this teaching. When someone rejects you, don’t seek revenge. Instead, show the love of God.

If you’ve ever been down the toy aisle of your favorite supermarket, you’ve likely witnessed the distress of a child not getting the toy they want or the distress of a parent having to discipline their screaming child. In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches that, sometimes, God might have to discipline you.

What if there was a way to know exactly how any decision you need to make might pan out? What if there was a way to gain valuable life advice? Well… you’re in luck! Today, Pastor JD teaches that there are plenty of those who have gone before you in life who are willing to guide you based on their experiences.

When was the last time you were out in public and came across a sidewalk preacher? Though they may have the Kingdom of God at heart, their tactics scare people away from the Gospel more often than not. Pastor JD encourages you to approach people in humility and gentleness to present Jesus to them.

Are you prepared with what you will say when you finally encounter someone ready to hear about Jesus? Or will you stutter and try and pull out your smartphone to find something to say? Pastor JD doesn’t want you to be caught off guard, but instead, be ready to answer for the hope that you have in Christ.

The world is full of people who are searching for answers to the meaning of the events they see going on in the news. Pastor JD wants you to realize that the Bible has the answers people are looking for, they just need someone to share it with them. Be emboldened to share the news of Jesus with those around you.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Live your truth,”? Well in today’s message, Pastor JD reminds you there is only one truth and that is found in Jesus! Like your belt holds up your pants, the truth of Jesus is the anchor that holds everything in your life together; or at least He should be. Without Jesus at the center, everything is relative.

Have you ever struggled with temptation? If you’re like most people you struggle daily. According to Pastor JD in today’s message, the secret to overcoming temptation, and your passion for it, is to have a greater passion for God. Experiencing temptation is not a sin, it’s when you give in to it that it’s a sin.

Have you ever considered how you should live as a follower of Jesus? Well in today’s message, Pastor JD proposes you should live a full prosperous life. Many people will accuse you of believing in a prosperity gospel, but if not prosperity, what did Jesus mean when He said to live an abundant life?

In today’s message, Pastor JD aims to both warn and inspire us. He reminds us that everything happening in this world is not meant for God's children and is not permanent. When Jesus returns, He will come down as the Lion of God, and that day is approaching sooner than most think. Are you ready?

In the past, the enemy manipulated the world through Hollywood and entertainment. However, in today’s environment, he is now using politics. That’s why Pastor JD urges you in this message to be aware of the tactics the enemy employs and to stay grounded in the Word of God to protect you!

In today’s message, Pastor JD challenges you to consider this question: How long will you waver between two opinions? Will you choose to live according to the Word of Jesus Christ, or will you continue down the path you have been following? Don’t wait for tomorrow—choose Jesus Christ today!

Do you struggle to admit when you’re wrong? If you’re like most people you probably do. In today’s message, Pastor JD suggests that since all have sinned, all should confess their wrongs; that includes you. Imagine how much better your relationships would be if you freely admitted every time you were in the wrong.

What’s the first thing you do when someone wrongs you? Do you get angry and retaliate? Well in today’s message, Pastor JD challenges you to pray for them before you do anything else. He explains that it’s hard to stay angry while praying because by praying you have shifted the focus to what Jesus did for you.

How do you see the love of God? As Pastor JD points out in today’s message, as a follower of Christ you are to be the example of the unseen love of God with acts of love towards others. Can you think of one or two people who have shown you the love of God through their actions towards you and others?

When we watch the news, what do we notice? Are there positive stories about the world, or does the media primarily focus on the negative? Despite living in a challenging environment, Pastor JD reminds us of an important truth: even as the world seems to worsen, everything is leading to the return of Jesus Christ!

God knows everything that is going on in the world, and He is not beholden to the plans of man. Even those with the best intentions, those who are seeking to serve God, may not always be in perfect alignment with His will. What you should do in your life is yield to the move of God’s power, and let Him take the lead.

Biblical prophecy isn’t something that you should just take someone else’s word for. Pastor JD even teaches you today that you should do your own research, take the time, dig into the Word, and see what God has to say about current events today. He speaks to His children through the words of Scripture.

Have you ever asked God for something and felt like He never answered? In today’s message, Pastor JD explains that God will give you whatever you ask for as long as it is within His will. The tough part is most times He will not give it to you in your time frame, it will be in His timeframe and how He sees fit not how you want it.

Have you had a need that you couldn’t meet until you went to God in prayer about it? In today’s message, Pastor JD suggests that sometimes God will put a need in your life so you will have to call on Him to meet it. Sometimes you may stray so far off the path that God will use a need to prompt you back in the right direction.

How important is prayer in your life? Do you pray before making any decisions or just the big ones? In today’s message, Pastor JD explains that if the enemy can keep you from praying, he wins! Prayer is your connection to God; anything you ask can be granted as long as it's within His will and the enemy knows this.

A lot of times you can read the news and think of America as the good guys, as Israel’s closest ally that will be spared God’s wrath in the last days. But the truth is, America is a manmade empire like any other that has ever existed. And if it neglects to follow God’s words in Scripture, it will meet a similar end.

There are powers at play that want to establish a split in Jerusalem between the Arab and the Jewish populations. Pastor JD shares from Scripture today to show you that God brings ruin to those who try to take away the Holy Land from His chosen people. And He will do the same with the current evil actors.

As Pastor JD continues his prophecy update, he’ll challenge the church to reveal God's love by first having love for your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. The End Times will be characterized by selfishness and lovelessness. This is your chance to shine a bright light in a darkening world!

You may believe that your good works in this world will lead you to eternity. Even if you're a preacher to thousands of people, do you know who qualifies you for heaven? Today, Pastor JD explains how Jesus is the only way. You can receive eternal life only when you believe in Jesus and what He did for you on the cross!
