One of the key components to last days prophecy is peace in the middle east. With the most recent decision to decriminalize settlements in the West Bank, we know that the enemies of Israel are seething with anger. Today Pastor JD will talk about some of the headlines surrounding this most recent development.

The news is full of talk of impeachment. Donald Trump has certainly been embroiled in controversy. But, what does this mean for us? ...followers of Jesus. This simply points to the return of Jesus. Today Pastor JD will talk about this and the most recent decisions in Israel regarding settlements.

Do you crave all the things this world has to offer? Now a days there are plenty of distractions all around us, things that appear attractive, but they only end up to be fleeting. In today’s message, Pastor JD references many times in scripture how dangerous it can be if you value the things of this world over God. The only one who will truly satisfy is the one true God.

Many of us are probably familiar with the old saying, idle hands are the devil's playground. When it comes to a life of faith, this can be especially true. In today's message, Pastor JD will teach you that one of the best ways to defend against the attacks of our enemy is to constantly be pushing forward in your faith, both through ministry and seeking The Lord.

Before coming to know The Lord, our enemy does everything he can to convince us that satisfaction can be found in the things of this world. However, after we're saved, he switches up his strategy entirely. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us how one of the enemies favorite strategies against those who are saved is condemnation.

Many of us are probably thrown off by the idea of God purposefully allowing or even instigating trials and sufferings in our lives. However, if we grow complacent in our walk and settle for less than The Lord, this is exactly what we should expect. As Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, God will do what it takes for us to grow in our relationship with Him.

The national headlines are peppered with talk about impeaching our president, Donald Trump. It's really difficult to keep up with everything. And then sorting through the rhetoric versus the facts...well, that's a whole other story! And now the prime minister is embroiled in controversy. What if both Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are BOTH impeached!?!?!?

From the very beginning, the enemy of our souls has been at war against God. He uses all manner of tactics to at least attempt to thwart the work of God. Satan's number one method is to try and destroy God's chosen people Israel. And that method is at an all time high right now. The nation of Israel is constantly under attack!

Have you ever struggled with legalism? If we as believers were to be perfectly honest, this is something that many of us slide in and out of at some point in our walk with The Lord. In today's message, Pastor JD will encourage to you to read, pray, and meditate through Scripture such as Romans eight to quickly regain your confidence in Christ, rather than self.

Many of us would agree that it's almost second nature for us to go out of our way to avoid difficulty, hardship, or times of struggle. But how many of us think of the possibility that we're missing out on potential growth from the experience? In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us that while hardship isn't always preferable, the fruits from such are invaluable.

Many of us have a tendency to lean more towards the kind, loving, gracecious characteristics of Jesus, rather than the reality that He suffered greatly on our behalf. As Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, no matter how uncomfortable it might make us, our suffering is one of the most effective ways in which we grow in our relationship with Christ.

While many of us become rather uncomfortable at the thought or idea of suffering, Scripture teaches us that it's one of the best ways to grow in our understanding of Christ. In today's message, Pastor JD reminds us that while some of our sufferings are absolutely unbearable, they have no comparison to the glory that awaits us in eternity.

I know this goes without saying, but each day that passes we are one day closer to the return of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ! Once again, Pastor JD shows how the global unrest speaks to this. Believer's in China are rising up, people are exiting the California...God is calling us to love in these last days...no matter what...He's calling us to love those around us.

If you're a math person listening today...you'll love this. Today Pastor JD shares that Jesus fulfilled many prophecies.

Do you or someone you know fall into the category of what others would typically refer to as “someone who plays it safe?” If so, have you been able to recognize the missed opportunities in your life?

If someone were to ask you the difference between happiness and joy, would you be able to give them a reasonable description? In today's message, Pastor JD defines the key difference between the two and how we as believers have a joy that's not circumstantial.

Each and every one of us has complained about something in our lives. What we probably don't realize during our complaining is that we're essentially saying things aren't as they should be according to us. In today's message, Pastor JD warns us of the egocentric attitude that our complaints often harbor and fester within us.

The statistics show that so called “natural disasters” have been greatly increasing over the years. The correlation with the nation of Israel and her sovereignty is uncanny! It's almost like there's a Creator of the Universe that is divinely allowing things to happen to communicate with us! Of course, as followers of Jesus, we know that this is 100% true.

The most recent victory by our brave men and women in our armed forces is a stunning blow to ISIS. A major player in the ISIS leadership has been killed in a secret operation. Abu-Bakar-El-Bagdahi has lead ISIS since 2010. This is yet another important piece in the the pursuit of peace in the middle east. v

Many of us have probably been thrown off by the verse “work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” Whether we grow concern over the security of our salvation or otherwise, it's important we understand its meaning. As Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, this is a call to exercise our salvation, rather than work for our salvation.

Pastor JD talks today about how we Christians, are called to live our lives. It’s easy to get caught up in our own desires and selfish ambitions, but that’s not our purpose. We’re meant to set ourselves apart through our kindness and humility. Don’t think of it as weak-ness; pride may make you feel strong, but only in this temporary world.
