In Spirit & Truth

We all face challenges and difficulties in life. It’s part of living in this world. But have you ever thought that those difficult times may just be part of God’s plan for your life? And in the broader since part of His plan for the world? Pastor JD shares that hardships can be a blessing in disguise.

Replacement theology is nothing new. This was inside the demonic heart of Hitler and his wicked plan to eradicate God's chosen people. Today Pastor JD reminds us that the covenant that God has with Israel directly correlates with His faithfulness to His covenant with us!

It's easy to get caught in the mix of categorizing and dismissing people based on their differences. Christians have done a HORRIBLE job at that in the past. Today Pastor JD will help you to see that there are really only two categories...those who know Jesus and those who don't...it's just that simple.

Meekness can be seen as how you treat others, which is different from humility and thinking of yourself inwardly. With this in mind, Pastor JD shares how humility contrasts with pride. When you become prideful, you lack fear for the Lord. But humility is the beginning of wisdom and leads to a healthy fear of the Lord.

Nobody wants to admit to being deceived; it doesn’t feel good to know that you’ve been duped. And today, Pastor JD reminds us that deception runs wild. Satan uses distractions more than anything else to deceive nations. Nations, not just people. Don’t get swept up in the narrative of the day; focus on Christ and His return.

Let’s be honest, if we had the heart for it, we could all be master manipulators. But how does it make you feel when you realize you’ve been deceived? Pastor JD reminds us today that Satan is, not only the master deceiver, but he’s the master of distraction. What better way to deceive nations than to distract them all?

We live in the age of social media, where it’s never been so easy to make someone feel like an idiot for thinking the way they do. But don’t buy into the lies; people are unhappy and afraid. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that deception is running rampant; you don’t need to follow the crowd; make a splash by telling the truth.

Pride goes before the fall; despite this well-known phrase, many fall into the sin of pride. Pastor JD shares in today's message that pride can be sneaky. You might start with a slight feeling of personal success, but before you know it, it's ballooned into a colossal problem. Big or small, run from the pride of any kind.

Disciplining children isn't designed to be easy. If you are a parent, you understand that discipline can be harder on you than the child. God doesn't want to chastise anyone. He longs for all to come to know Him as Father. But as Pastor JD shares today, loving parents must eventually correct those who’ve gone astray.

You've seen the cute signs that changing the emphasis of a word creates ill-intended messages. When reading through Scripture, it's essential to understand where the focus lies. When you do so, new meaning may appear. Pastor JD shares how the Lord emphasizes I when speaking to the Israelites, reminding them HE is GOD.

We all desire a home; a community, somewhere to put our roots down. But today, Pastor JD reminds us why the home that we desire will never be found here on earth. We’re entering a time of war and famine, and all of these things are happening so that our grip on this world will be loosened and we’ll be ready for His return.

We live at the beginning of the end times; today, Pastor JD reminds us just how close we are to the tribulation period. And as we enter this time where war will be rampant, we need to be prepared. The only weapon we possess is the Sword of the Spirit – the Word of God. So don’t neglect the only defense you carry.

We often think of fear as a negative thing, but today, Pastor JD reminds us that it’s just like anything else: healthy within moderation. Fear of the Lord is wise, but if you have questions, and allow those to become doubts, they’ll become an unhealthy kind of fear. Discipline your mind and don’t let Satan sew those seeds of uncertainty.

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.
