In Spirit & Truth

So often, women especially, feel they have to work hard and look perfect to get others to notice or like them. It’s exhausting and never makes you feel truly valued. Pastor JD explains today that when you come to the Lord, you don’t have to earn his favor or work for him to love you. He loves you and wants you just as you are.

A lot of people think that, if Hell is real and people actually go there, then God must be heartless. But today, Pastor JD reminds us that Hell was created for Satan, not us. In fact, Jesus did everything He could possibly do to save us from having to go there. But you still have to make the choice of believing in Him.

We often view God in a bad light when we’re going through trials; it’s easy to blame it on Him. But have you thought about the alternative? Pastor JD reminds us today that sometimes, God sends us into a specific trial, in order to avoid a bigger, messier one. He has the best intentions for your life if only you’ll believe.

Does it ever feel like you have everything under control - until you don’t? We constantly try to take care of things ourselves, even though we say we’re trusting in God. Pastor JD reminds us today that, we need to make prayer a priority. And we need to pray for God to work in such a way that the only possible answer is, HIM.

Many people feel pretty simple, fairly common in fact. Sometimes it’s hard to feel unique or valued when you look around you. However, as Pastor JD explains today, God sees you as perfect. Unique. Wonderful. Don’t find your worth from the world, but from God who loves you immensely.

Sometimes it’s good to have a change in perspective. Today Pastor JD will challenge you to change you’re thinking. What if the confusing things of the world are meant to remind you that the Lord is not a God of confusion, but a God of peace? What if the hard things are meant to draw you closer to Him?

As you listen to today’s message with Pastor JD, take a moment to be still. The things of the world may seem chaotic and unpredictable, but the Lord is steady. So why stress about the things of the world when Jesus, who is the light of the world, promises you a life of peace with the Father? Worry not and rest in Him.

Even people with big imaginations run into trouble coming up with a solution for problems. But Pastor JD reminds us all today, that God never has that issue. We need to remember God’s promises and be confident in them! When you’re lost and don’t even have a bad idea, He’ll come through with a result that will blow your mind.

Nobody wants to see the people they love hurting. Why would we assume that God’s any different? Pastor JD reminds us today that God hates to see His children in pain. We must stand on His promises: there’s no need to be anxious or fearful because God takes care of the flowers in the field, and He cares for you so much more.

It's so easy to get caught up in our fears and anxieties, especially during this current pandemic. But Pastor JD reminds us today that we can have hope in the Lord! He encourages us by recalling scripture that says, the battle belongs to God. And remember, God has already won the war, so what’s a little battle to Him?

Even in the midst of rising inflation, vaccination discrimination, the LORD is on the move with His people. Pastor JD will continue sharing beautiful testimonies of people using the ABCs of salvation to impact their family members, friends, and neighbors with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Have you ever received a message or seen a media post that made you want to react in a certain way? Today Pastor JD teaches on the dangers of social media. Remember, the Lord is your defense and your response. Rather than reply in a way that could hurt, ask the Lord to help you reply in a way that can heal.

People who have different views in life than you do are not your enemy. People who share things on social media that you don’t agree with are not your enemy. Your true enemy is Satan and he seeks to ruin unity. As you listen to today’s message with Pastor JD, you’ll be challenged to treat people as Jesus did.

Each person must come to a decision as to whether they will take the COVID-19 vaccine. But, what we can't deny is the vitriol that is being hurled at those that are choosing to NOT get vaccinated. Non-vaccinated people are now the enemy and are being persecuted and seen as THE problem.

It's not hard to see that we are absolutely seeing economic inflation right now. Have you noticed the increase in the cost of simple things like groceries? This inflation is something that will have an end and sadly, we can't say just how bad the impact might be. This is just another sign of the times.

Have you ever seen a bird worried about what it will eat... or concerned about what it looks like?... Today, Pastor JD encourages you to take heart... You were created in the image of God. Place your trust for the forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ. Spread the good news of Jesus Christ to other people.

The Lord knows what you need before you even know you need it. This is the grace and the wonder of who God is. Pastor JD expands on the greatness of God in today’s message. If you find yourself in a place of worry or have a questioning spirit, lean into the Lord and trust Him. He knows you deep. He will provide.

Jesus wasn’t what people thought he would be. He wasn’t some mighty warrior king set out to slay His enemies. He was meek. But as you’ll learn in today’s message with Pastor JD, Jesus wasn’t weak. He was strong and powerful. But it was His meekness that set Him apart and made even children run to Him.

As much as you love the people around you, God loves you so much more. Today Pastor JD will teach on the love of God and how He provides for your every need. There will be people in your life that will come and go, but God never leaves or forsakes. He loves you deeper than you could ever begin to imagine.

The world can seem like a scary place... especially lately. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your crucified and risen Savior...nothing DOOMS YOU for all eternity. In today's message, Pastor JD talks about how believers in Jesus Christ should not give in to a spirit of fear or despair. There is ALWAYS hope in Jesus.

What should you do if someone knocks on your door and wants to talk about the JAB as Pastor JD calls it... also known as the Covid 19 vaccine...In today's message, Pastor JD talks about how that person is not the enemy...They are your mission field... With gentleness and respect share that JESUS is your reason for HOPE.

Psalm 91 is rich with importance in this week's prophecy update. Pastor JD will take us through this chapter of the Bible highlighting how you and I can appropriate the blessings contained in this Psalm. We DO bear some responsibility. If we will dwell in God...loving Him...HE WILL DELIVER US!!!

God does not call you to follow Him and then not give you the power you need to live out that calling. Pastor JD teaches on this in today’s message. Be encouraged, God’s commands are always packaged with His power. He doesn’t just leave you on your own. He is near and is faithful to see you through.

Do you struggle with the need to defend yourself? In today’s message, Pastor JD will teach on this truth: The Lord is your defender. He has all of the power and might to work in and through you. So let go of all the things you can’t control and let the Lord defend you. Let Him show you His faithfulness.

Dying to yourself doesn’t sound like the most exciting thing. But as you’ll learn in today’s message with Pastor JD, the reward for this is great. So stop fighting the want to control everything. Stop placing your faith in the things of the world. Jesus says, “Come to me and I will give you rest.” He is all you need.
