In Spirit & Truth

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.
