In Spirit & Truth

Pandemics, riots, wars, and inflation. Look around you, and you’ll see that the world is rapidly descending into chaos and confusion.

The flesh is a twisted enemy, isn’t it? Paul says it like this: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us to take a stand for what’s right. Even when our flesh is saying Yes, and the Lord is saying no. We have to be a people that says yes to God.

No matter how good or hopeful you imagine that the world can be as you do your part to help it be closer to that image, you have to remember that there are evil people in the world, too.

Many people think that Satan is God’s rival. But for Satan to be God’s rival, he would have to be equal to God. But God is far greater than Satan.

You may tend to rely on and get involved in worldly things. But do you know where you belong? Today, Pastor JD will teach you how to live a God-pleasing life.

God sees when His children follow what His Word says. He’ll reward it. Whether it’s in this life or the next, God will remember those times when you chose to follow Him. Today, Pastor JD is going to remind you that there are also consequences to deal with when you refuse to follow God and the path He has for you.

Pastor JD’s message gives us a clear picture of the importance of ignoring the world’s false hopes and turning to Jesus for REAL hope. Nothing in this world will last, and just like King Zedekiah, we have a choice to make. Place our hope and trust in something concrete or place it in a big, hollow pit that gets lost.

The prophet Jeremiah was called on many times by King Zedekiah to bring good news concerning Judah’s future. Through Pastor JD’s message, we learn that not only did Zedekiah not like the prophecy, but he hoped the message would change. Like him, sometimes we have to come to grips with what the Lord tells us.

Have you ever wondered whether the UN-organized COP28 is part of a theological conspiracy?

In today’s message, we’re asked a question by Pastor JD that requires some reflection. Where do we put our hope when everything seems to be hitting the fan? Do we rely on things or people for hope that in all actuality, they can’t offer? Friends, Jesus is the only ONE and TRUE hope. It’s to Him we must go.

None of us want to experience death. Even with Heaven on the other side, most of us experience anxiety thinking about the way we’ll get there. As Pastor JD will explain in today’s message, you may experience pain and suffering, but you can lean into God through it, trusting that He’ll use you for His greater purpose in that hardship.

Most of us would never dare to physically cut out a scripture from our Bibles, but in today’s message, Pastor JD will ask how often you do that in your heart.

With technology advancing at breakneck speeds these days you can’t blink before your new device is out of date. But where does some of this technology come from, and where is it taking us?

You’ve heard the saying “You can catch more flies with honey”, right? That seems to be the point that Pastor JD is making today.

What is the point of all the prophecies in the bible? Today Pastor JD says they all serve to point us to Jesus and His eventual return.

Where is your heart? Is it deeply invested in your career, family, or a hobby you love?

Bitterness keeps you in bondage! In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches you this sobering truth that holding onto unforgiveness and resentment only hurts you.

God desires for you to be blessed with His promise of love! Pastor JD shares with you through today’s message that God’s care for you is unending.

With all that’s going on in the world, why are more Christians not talking about Jesus’ soon return? What are they afraid of? What are they hanging on to?

Prophecy is a pretty tough subject to get into. It’s really a pretty heavy topic to discuss with all of the doom and gloom.

Are you able to hear the still small voice of the Lord? Or are the competing voices in your life crowding it out? Pastor JD encourages you through today’s message to silence the voices that are disrupting your ears from hearing the Lord. Get back into the Word of God, sit quietly before His feet, and listen!
