In Spirit & Truth

Are you currently experiencing hard and challenging times? Know that you are not alone. Many of your brothers and sisters in Christ are also undergoing trials of many kinds. And there is a way through these difficulties. Today, Pastor JD shows you how to not only survive but to thrive in difficult circumstances.

We can focus on earthly things or things of heaven. There’s no middle ground, and whichever we focus on, that’s where our treasure will be. Today, Pastor JD tells how you can keep your eyes on the heavenly prize, and how you can transfer your treasures on earth to heaven. Worldly treasures take the focus off of Jesus.

When we’re lost in life, we often go back to what we are familiar with. After Jesus’ resurrection, Peter returned to fishing, something he knew how to do well. But Jesus had other plans. Today, Pastor JD explains how Jesus transformed Peter and how Jesus desires to work in you and change you.


Today, Pastor JD continues a discussion on the painful subject of abortion. This topic is flaring emotions from all sides, but needs to be addressed in the church! Pastor JD will remind you that sharing the Gospel message ALWAYS needs to be your priority. Everyone needs to be set free from sin – EVERY SIN – and that can only be done through Jesus!

In today's message, Pastor JD tackles the current and difficult topic of late-term abortions. This is a sensitive subject, but one that needs to be addressed in light of God's love and truth. Pastor JD will share personal experiences along with Biblical passages that he hopes will help you navigate this topic. In it all, he reveals God's heart toward His beloved children!

Coexistence and the belief that everyone's god is the same is one step closer to one world religion. When such theology is encouraged, people can be misled from the one true messiah. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me." The road to the Father is narrow, so don't let anyone fool you into thinking it's a wide-open path.

Peter had some high moments with Jesus. What other person could say that he walked on water and spent time with Jesus?! Peter could’ve bragged about those moments, but he didn’t. He stayed humble. Today, Pastor JD tells you how to have faith, confidence, and courage, without becoming prideful.

Faith in God is a minute-by-minute choice. Life is full of difficult decisions and paths that diverge. But that’s why Pastor JD reminds us today, our faith needs to be refined by fire. Our trials in this life make our faith shine brighter. It becomes more valuable and contains fewer impurities. God’s refining creates a pure faith.

It’s often true that when our lives are running smoothly and things are going well, we pray our token prayers and move on. The heartfelt, on our knees, crying out to the Lord prayers are missing. As Pastor JD reminds us today, that’s why our times of prosperity are dangerous. We begin to think we don’t need God.

For the first time in history, the Pope visited the Middle East and met with leaders from Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism. The Pope called this “a new page in the history of relations between religions”. While the idea of peace among all religions sounds like a good idea, coexistence is one step closer to the one-world religion described in the book of Revelation.

Wake up followers of Christ; his return is coming nearer every day. Be prepared and repent of your sin. Continue to follow the current events, so you may see the indicators of Jesus return. Look up and stare intently at the sky, eager for his return. Be encouraged; soon you will be in your real home, the house of the Lord.

A pivotal reason to read the bible is so you can know and be prepared for the times ahead. Ignorance is not going to make you happy; you will just be unprepared. While looking forward to the return of Christ, be empowered to fight the good fight, spreading the good news to unbelievers so that all may have a chance to avoid the wrath of God.

Have you ever been sailing? The ride is anything but smooth or boring. The captain constantly needs to be on alert to wind changes, storms on the horizon, and sea life in his path. As Pastor JD reminds you today, God doesn’t promise smooth sailing in your life, but He does promise a beautiful journey.

We live in a broken world, and sometimes, we go through seemingly never-ending storms. But in today’s message, Pastor JD wants you to know that no matter what happens in this world, God will always see you through to the other side. It may not always look like what we want it to, but God's promises are forever.

Wouldn’t you say one of God’s greatest qualities is His timing? He’s never early, never late. He’s always right on time. And when God has a blessing for you, it isn’t random; it was always meant for you. Today, Pastor JD reminds you that God can use anything and anyone in the Body of Christ to accomplish His will for your life.

All the signs are pointing to a peace treaty being presented to the nation of Israel, THIS YEAR. 2019 just might be the year that the antichrist is revealed, and the peace treaty is broken after three and a half years. But, friends...what must come before that? ...the rapture of the church of Jesus Christ! Even so, come quickly, LORD Jesus!

It's hard to imagine the clock going backwards at this point. The nation of Israel is surrounded by her enemies, and our government is touting a peace treaty coming soon. Friends, the time is short. We know that the Bible is clear about the peace treaty that WILL be made with Israel in the very last days. Could it be that this is the VERY peace treaty we've been waiting for?

There are some in the Body of Christ who teach that God is done with the nation of Israel and that the modern church has replaced Israel. This is known as replacement theology. Today, Pastor JD will share with you just how FALSE this teaching is. In fact, if replacement theology WERE true, we would have zero hope in these last days.

As we walk through this life, one of the most powerful things we can do as followers of Christ is choose the right moments to show God’s love, especially in the hard moments. In today’s message, Pastor JD reminds you that if there’s one truth to hold onto, it’s this: the love of God triumphs over all.

In our lives, we often come across people who knew us before we became Christians and don’t like the change they see. They want to determine for themselves if the transformation is real. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor JD reminds us that as followers and ambassadors of Christ, the world is always watching us.

In the Bible, we see people go through trials that shaped them into who God called them to be. And in our own lives, when we ask God for strength, patience, or wisdom, He may allow trials that grow those very things in us. Today, Pastor JD reminds you that while trials aren’t easy, they teach you to lean more on the Lord.

Today, Pastor JD dives into the conflicting reports surrounding President Donald Trump's proposed peace plan for the Middle East. As Christians, we should definitely be paying attention to this. The Bible is clear: in the last days, a peace treaty will be made with the nation of Israel. Could it be that we are on the cusp of seeing that very peace treaty being made?

When adversity strikes, you HAVE to depend on the Lord. But when life in this world seems too good, you don't look forward to life in Heaven as much. Pastor JD will teach that some spiritual places are only reached when you go through a trial. The challenges of this world plant inside of you compassion for others who are suffering, and give you the urgency to share the hope that is only found in Christ.

Why do we have to go through so much suffering? Pastor JD will be teaching the “why” behind these prophecy updates. You'll learn the most powerful effect that Bible prophecies have: the blessed hope – our only hope. Going through hardships helps us fall out of love with this world and enter the Kingdom of God. God is preparing a place for you, and He's coming soon – that's our hope!

As long as we walk and breathe on this earth, we will face temptation. The enemy loves to use our desires to pull us off the path God has for us. But today, Pastor JD wants you to know that with every temptation and every trial, God always provides a way through. He will never leave you without an escape.
