In Spirit & Truth

You must remember that Satan was a created being. Satan is not the opposite of God. Pastor JD points out in today's study that phrases such as 'the Devil has been attacking me' hold no ground since the Devil can't be in two places at once. But the Devil does have an army of demons to carry out his plans.

It often looks outwardly as if Satan and his demons are getting away with an awful lot. Many a travesty happens without justice being served. In today's message with Pastor JD, you'll be reminded that God's day is coming. He has a plan to bring swift justice to all who have sinned against Him.

Do you remember your parents using the phrase “we'll see” in answer to your questions? In today's teaching, Pastor JD explains how trust is really what is being communicated there. Well, God frequently gives promises that seem impossible, but as we'll learn today: when God says it, it's a guarantee!

No man can know the hour or day that Christ will return. He’ll come like a thief in the night. We need to be ready and watching. In today’s message, Pastor JD will encourage us to hold on to the hope we have in Christ. Keep your focus on Him and His mission for you in this world, which is sharing His love with the lost.

Satan is the master counterfeiter. He easily injects lies into society and even within the Church by wrapping them up in a layer of attractive and easy to accept truths. As Pastor JD will explain in today’s update, you must look at this world with discernment, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

What’s the point of prophecy updates? If we’re following Christ-like we’re supposed to, do we really need to worry about these things? In today’s update, Pastor JD will help you understand the relevance of this information and grasp the urgency of the times we’re living in right now.

Do you often question how a message about the good news of Jesus Christ can coexist with such stern warnings about judgment? In today's teaching, Pastor JD unpacks how justice -IS- loving and how we are currently experiencing the “birth pains” of a wonderful future ahead when evil is banished!

How many times have you heard “judgment is coming?” At first, it sounds harsh and unloving. But In today's teaching, Pastor JD will show us how it doesn't come as a contradiction to a loving God. And for those who follow God, ultimate security lies within the judgment that Christ took on our behalf!

The certainty of being fully satisfied in Christ is attractive. But more than that, it's a reality for followers of Christ! In today's teaching with Pastor JD, we'll hear where this is written in scripture and how we can trust it. It'll give peace and hope for the days ahead, knowing more about the kingdom of our Lord.

The word sin comes from archery. To sin, was to miss the mark your arrow was intended to hit... And in today's prophecy update, Pastor JD will remind you that without the empowering of the Holy Spirit, you'll miss the mark every single time. Sin sends you to the grave, Jesus conquered the grave, and He can conquer your sin.

In today's prophecy update, Pastor JD will share with you what the Bible has to say about the end times. The Bible says that believers in Christ will know they are in the end times when they're living as it was in the days of Noah... And looking around the world, it's safe to say that Jesus is coming... And very soon.

In today's prophecy update with Pastor JD, you'll be reminded of what it cost Jesus for you to be redeemed. Your sins didn't just magically disappear, Jesus freely offered Himself in your place. For your sins, you were sentenced to eternity separate from God... And Jesus painstakingly rescued you from sin's grip.

As hard as it probably is to imagine, it's actually EASY to desire a world with no sin. Sounds like a fairy tale? Well, it's true! And it's a reality that is coming, as we'll learn in today's teaching with Pastor JD. Lean in and get a preview of God's plan to bind the works of evil and how that plays out in scripture's prophecy.

Have you envisioned yourself in the new heaven and new earth? In today's teaching, Pastor JD prompts us to do just that, as he teaches on the thousand-year reign... Something certainly to look forward to – but also to hold TODAY with a firm grip as we live our lives in the here and now.

How often do you think of the word “covenant?” Outside of real estate or home-ownership, the word may not be an everyday part of your vocabulary. But as Pastor JD will reveal to us today, WE are recipients of a covenant – a promise of God. And that's something solid and sure! Be certain: He WILL take care of you!

Even though we may not like the thought, most of the time, we are not in control of our own lives. And though things may feel pretty hopeless at times, Pastor JD reminds us today that Jesus is always in control. He may not work things out as you would, but He always works things out for His glory and you’re good.

We can all agree it’s a good thing to grow, but change itself isn’t always good. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that the last days of this world will be marked by a new world order. If you pay attention to any politics, you can see us, not inching, but speeding towards this. You don’t want to be found asleep when Jesus comes back.

We all know what it feels like to get too comfortable and be caught off guard. It’s not a good feeling, and today, Pastor JD reminds us that we are very much nearing the end of this world. Everything that’s happening today, was predicted over 2,000 years ago. Don’t be caught off guard by Jesus’ return; you want to be ready and waiting.

When you think about it, It WOULD be crazy for an ink pen to receive the credit for writing a New York Times bestseller! So it's no different to recognize that God is in charge and invites the US to be a part of His work in the world. God deserves all the praise, as we'll be reminded in today's message with Pastor JD.

When's the last time you were reminded that God's in control and we are helpless without Him? It's probably fairly frequently! Even though, if we're honest, we can easily make life all about ourselves. In today's teaching, Pastor JD reminds us that God is the great I AM and that's important to “get straight” :)

Do you ever wonder how God can be a God of justice yet also be full of grace and blessing at the same time? It boggles the mind, but in today's teaching by pastor JD, we are once again reminded that God remains ready and willing to forgive, restore, and pour out lavish blessings on us all ... Because of Jesus!

The future of this world looks grim, but the light at the end of the tunnel is very, very good news for the believer. That light at the end of the tunnel is Jesus Christ, the Savior. He's coming to take us out of this world and away from the coming evil. Take advantage of your chance today and call on the name of Jesus!

The events of Revelation are happening in real-time, right now, at a breakneck pace! Pastor JD is going to dive into one real, important question today. Do you think the earth has that long of shelf life? With the events occurring today, do we have even 10 years left? For answers to this question and more, stick around!

Pastor JD is diving into the prophecies about the end of the world and Jesus' return and today he will explore the idea that there is a light at the end of the tunnel! For believers like you and I, it's the light of a new day, but for those who have not believed, it will be more like the light of a freight train headed their way.

Which attribute or name of God are you leaning into the most these days? Pastor JD's message today is filled with good news, touching on God's many great names. How thankful we are to have a loving God who is lavishly kind, patient, loving, and is our answer for lasting peace.

How are you left feeling after scrolling your daily newsfeed, reading the latest phone alerts, or watching TV headlines? If that's all you had to base your life on, it would be pretty hopeless! Today, Pastor JD reminds us that knowing WHO is in control makes all the difference regarding the worries of today.

How many times have you found yourself comforted from even just a few moments of reading God's Word? It's not a coincidence, as Pastor JD teaches today! God has given us thousands of promises throughout scripture – and His living word will give you boldness and peace.

Thinking about the end of the world may be frightening, but if you’ve put your hope in Jesus, you have nothing to fear. As Pastor JD teaches today, allow your mind to be at ease. The Lord doesn’t leave or forsake His children. Rest in Him and sit at His feet. He is coming again to make all wrong things right.

You may not know what tomorrow brings, but you can know who holds tomorrow. Today Pastor JD will challenge you to focus on the One who holds the world in His hands. The world may seem dark and uncertain, but Jesus is light and hope in the darkness. Where do you put your hope? In whom do you put your faith?

When Jesus told Peter to cast his net on the other side, Peter had no idea of the catch to come. Today Pastor JD will encourage you to cast your net, even when you have no idea of the catch to come. You may not know the future, but you can know that Jesus is faithful to show up and provide.

Did you know that if you reflected on just ONE of God's promises each day, it would take years before you ran out? The Bible contains thousands of solid promises. That's incredibly good news! In Today's teaching, Pastor JD describes God's amazing rescue of His children – including protection for you as well.

Is your desire for alignment with God's will alive and strong? Be encouraged that although you may feel as if you fail, God is still near, ready to rescue and bless. In Today's message by Pastor JD, the encouragement for your life is in the reminder that God's promises are for you and He is incapable of breaking even one!

What struggles are you currently facing? Do you trust that God will see you through? In today's message, Pastor JD reminds us that God keeps his promises. He is trustworthy. God never breaks his promises to us. He is with you in every storm and season. He will remain by your side and will get you through this.

Have you ever interrupted an introvert? If you talk over them, they’ll stop talking altogether, because obviously, you’re not interested in what they have to say. Pastor JD reminds us today, that we need to learn to cut out the distractions. The Holy Spirit speaks to us…but we need to learn to not talk over Him.

How often have you worried about someone else’s opinion? Many live their lives in fear, constantly stressing about the impressions they make. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that, the only opinion we should be concerned with, is God’s. What does it matter, if they like you if you’ve offended your Savior?

Sometimes we get so focused on things that we like to hear, that we forget the things we need to hear. We want someone to tickle our ears, someone to tell us that we’re right. Today, Pastor JD reminds us how important it is to subscribe to truth, and not just opinion. The things we need to hear are all found in God’s Word.

You are likely familiar with the idea of the mark of the beast. This permanent identifier will signal allegiance to Satan. It will be required to buy and sell in traditional stores. Pastor JD shares some relatively new technology that could become the mark in today's update. The more information you have, the better prepared you'll be.

Do you ever find yourself doubting God's word? In today's message, Pastor JD teaches that God's word is true and that what the Bible says will come to pass, will happen. It will happen whether you believe it will or not. You can trust that God will keep His promises and that His word is true and endures forever.

Is there a situation in your life that's causing you to fear? Fear not! In today's message, Pastor JD teaches about the time that the Lord sent Isaiah to the evil King Ahaz. It was a terrifying request. But the Lord told Isaiah NOT to fear, that he would protect Isaiah. You can trust God's power will protect you too.

It really shouldn't unsettle you to be experiencing supply chain issues, empty shelves, and increasing oil prices. These issues are all foretold in the Bible. In fact, it makes Pastor JD giddy; the end is near! It's possible to be filled with joy during these uncertain times. You know the end of the story, and you'll be in Heaven when it occurs!

We've recently seen the Russian invasion of Ukraine. While Russia is mentioned in the Bible, Pastor JD answers the bigger question. What do you tell people when they ask, 'What does the Bible say about, fill in the blank.' This is the very reason you must know the contents of God's Holy Book.

We’re fickle human beings who are driven by emotion; God knows this better than anyone. Pastor JD reminds us in today’s update how – as the end draws near – things will just get worse and worse. When things are good, we feel settled, but when things are rough, God hears how we cry out for His return.

Is there a King Uzziah in your life? Someone who keeps you from focusing on the throne of God? In today's message, Pastor JD challenges you to give God the rightful place in your life and in your heart. Isaiah had a great calling placed on his life once he looked to God's throne. What may the Lord be calling you to today?

What is the Lord calling you to? In today's message, Pastor JD teaches on the commission placed on Isaiah's life by the Lord. “Here am I, send me!” was Isaiah's response. How will you respond to what God is calling you to? Consider following Isaiah's example and wholeheartedly accept what the Lord has in store for you.

Have you ever put someone in the place of God? In today's message, Pastor JD shares that Isaiah did. After King Uzziah died, Isaiah was finally able to look beyond his shortsighted view of an earthly throne, to see the Lord seated on the heavenly throne. Seek to give God His rightful place in your life today.

Are you easily offended? It’s hard to walk through life when you take every little thing that people say, personally. Pastor JD reminds us in today’s update, that we can’t water down the Gospel – so as not to offend. If you’re not aware of your need for a savior, then you need the offense of the Gospel more than anyone.

We can all be overconfident at times. Occasionally, it works to our benefit, but Pastor JD reminds us in his update today, how our pride can get in the way, leaving no room for Jesus. We want to be driven towards the cross by our humility; we don’t want to be caught off-guard or unaware, especially so close to the Lord’s return.

When we hope for things, our discernment often flies out the window. Today, Pastor JD reminds us how important it is – especially today – to be discerning of the people and things happening around us. Things are bad and they will only get worse. Let’s not get caught with our hands in our pockets, looking at the ground.

Today, Pastor JD wants you to know, that God doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. You can't blame your sin on the devil. You can't blame it on your poor upbringing, or a generational curse, or anything else; only yourself. If you're born again, you are a new creation, and those things no longer hold power over you.

In his message, today, Pastor JD reminds you, that God is sovereign. Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God, is the Spirit of Jesus, ruling in your heart. But, to realize the great good of His rule, you must humbly submit to His reign. Allow Him to teach and discipline you, for your good.
