In Spirit & Truth

The tribulation is a future seven-year period when God will finish His discipline of Israel and finalize His judgment of the unbelieving world. Today, Pastor JD will explain that the church, comprised of all who have trusted in the person and work of the Lord Jesus, will not be present during the tribulation.

Do you fear what man thinks of you? In today's teaching, Pastor JD encourages you to stop worrying about what others think of you and instead focus on what the Lord thinks of you. This looks like standing firm in the truth of God's Word despite people criticizing you or thinking you're crazy. Remain faithful to God!

Noone who’s trusted in Jesus will have any regrets when they enter His Kingdom. If there were any regrets, it would likely only be that you didn’t work harder to share the Gospel. As Pastor JD examines the book of Ezekiel in today’s message, he’ll remind us that we have an incredible hope as we look forward to eternity.

Has anyone ever hit you with that line? “When God closes one door, He’ll open another…” Is it true? Yes. Is it easy to hear in a moment of grief? No. As Pastor JD will remind us in today’s message, as hard as it is to accept when your plans get shut down, God is faithful and He will provide a better way.

Today, Pastor JD will challenge you to live every day of your life as if Jesus could return at any moment. You should have urgency in your evangelism. You should be passionate in your walk with Christ. The reality of the coming of Christ is something you are to use to encourage one another!

As Pastor JD continues his prophecy update, he’ll be reminding you that God is in control, and you don’t need to fear whatever happens in the world. Believers are not immune from the effects of living in a fallen world, but we are assured that “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”.

An increase in false messiahs, an increase in warfare, and increases in famines, plagues, and natural disasters—these are signs of the End Times. Today, Pastor JD will warn you not to be deceived, because these events are only the beginning of birth pains; the End is still to come. Keep your eyes on Jesus!

The Word of God is supernatural and alive. It’s not just a collection of helpful stories and guidance. As Pastor JD will point out in today’s message, this book speaks to our individual hearts. It’s like holding up a mirror and seeing more clearly than we ever could just how weak and desperately in need we are.

It’s easy to be caught up in vain repetitions, repeating the same words in our prayers, instead of thinking about our words or letting them come from the heart. Today, Pastor JD will be reminding you that you should be focused on God in prayer and honor Him in your hearts. Remember, God cares about sincerity.

Self-examination is an important part of living as an authentic Christian, but we naturally prefer self-deception. We want to believe ourselves to be better, smarter, and more ethical than we really are. Today, Pastor JD will explain that Spirit-directed self-examination keeps you honest with yourself and God.

In today's teaching, Pastor JD says this could be the year we go home. If Jesus came back today, would you be ready? If you have not said 'yes' to Jesus, don't wait another day. Admit your need for a Savior, believe in Jesus, and confess your sins. If you've already said 'yes' to Jesus, share that Good News with others!

Are you ready for Jesus? Today, in his teaching, Pastor JD urges you to prepare yourself. He explains how we can have all kinds of ideas and plans for the future, but really, we need to just get out of the way and let God's will be done. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior, let today be the day of your salvation!

'Something BIG is planned for 2025,' explains Pastor JD in today's message. Pastor JD unpacks a list of things that were predicted for this year in a book published twenty-seven years ago- including things like pandemics, smart homes and cities, AI technology, and much more. In these End Times, fix your eyes on Jesus.

Today, Pastor JD will challenge you to live a holy lifestyle and reject the world's wicked ways. Holiness only results from a right relationship with God - by believing in Jesus Christ as Savior. If you have not placed your faith in God’s Son alone to save you from your sins, then your pursuit of holiness is in vain.

Whether you realize it or not, Satan has people on the inside. He has undercover agents actively working to disrupt and destroy God’s Church. Today, Pastor JD teaches you how to watch out for these individuals and what signs to look for to know that there’s an undercover agent nearby. Pay attention and stay alert.

If you had to guess, what would you say would be the easiest way to cause division in a group? You likely thought of gossip. In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches that slandering someone can cause more damage than you ever realized, and it is one of the tactics that Satan uses to divide God’s people.

Today, in his message, Pastor JD warns that 'it's all about to fall.' For the follower of Jesus, this is exciting news that indicates the rapture is drawing near. Yet, do not grow weary in doing good! It's not time to sit back and put your feet up. Continue to share the Gospel and do the work of the Kingdom until that day is here!

The end times can be a scary topic as you read of all the suffering and pain that's going to be unleashed on the world. But, as Pastor JD will show you today, you have nothing to fear as long as your heart and soul belong to Jesus Christ. Faith in Him leads to salvation and eternal life, where there won't be any more suffering.

As more technology is released that continues to prove Biblical prophecies accurate, it becomes more and more important to be firmly rooted in Jesus Christ and His Word. Pastor JD is going to show you examples of our modern world today, proving the Bible true as time goes on. Scripture has always been and always will be accurate.

Are there any know-it-alls in your life? Anyone who seems like they have all the answers is never wrong and tends to think that it’s their way or the highway. Well, today, Pastor JD teaches that there’s only One who is all-knowing, and anyone who tries to convince you otherwise might not actually know it all.

It’s easy to put a sign in your front yard saying you support these or those people. It’s another thing altogether to take someone into your home. Today, Pastor JD shows the importance of Christian hospitality. You may have the spiritual gift of hospitality. Use it to bless others, and you will also be blessed.

“Happiness” seems to be the goal of most people. The pursuit of happiness is even alleged to be an “inalienable right” in this country. But today, Pastor JD explains that happiness is not the same as joy. Happiness comes from outward circumstances, but you can find true joy by focusing on the graciousness of God.

In the last days that we're living in, the world is going to be more focused on sin and everything contrary to God's Word than it will be on Jesus. Today, Pastor JD has a strong warning for you to keep your eyes on Jesus. It's in Jesus that you have hope for eternity and forgiveness for your sins that separate you from God.

After we leave this world, we will meet our God and creator, the question is, will it be as a Judge, or as our Father? In today’s message, Pastor JD encourages you to give your life to Jesus Christ and allow Him to live in you so that when He does come back for His family, you aren’t left behind.

When we consider what the Bible says about the end times, doesn’t it resemble the world we are living in today? There are rumors of wars, illnesses, famines, and a general sense of chaos and confusion. As we draw nearer to the rapture, Pastor JD encourages us to remain steadfast in our faith and share the Word with all who have an ear to hear!

We live in an “entitled” culture. Many people are looking for what they are “owed” or what they “deserve”. Today, Pastor JD shows that entitlement is the opposite of gratitude. When you’re focusing on the lavish gifts that God has given you, then you’re thinking with gratitude, rather than taking everything for granted.

Have you ever been working on something, but you can’t concentrate because you know you’ve had a misunderstanding with somebody? Today, Pastor JD encourages us to make every effort to avoid misunderstandings and fix them when they do occur. The people around you need that. And God commands it.

Communication can be tough. What’s the best way to handle a certain situation? Send a text, send an email, call on the phone, or meet face-to-face? Today, Pastor JD emphasizes that whatever method you use, make every effort to avoid misunderstandings. Your relationships with others are worth that extra effort.

If a quarter of the world's population suddenly vanished, how do you think the people would react? Would chaos ensue in the world? Or is something else going on? In today’s message, Pastor JD shares with you the final moving pieces before the next prophetical event to come- the rapture.

Everything has to start with the gospel. In today’s message, Pastor JD says we must first receive the gospel above all. If you don’t know Jesus, now is the time to follow Him. He wants a relationship with you and wants you to trust Him wholly. He’s seeking a relationship with you and wants you to follow Him.

The things around us can shift so quickly. Today, Pastor JD says you must be aware that Christ is coming soon and could come tomorrow. The things of this world must not blind you. You must be alert and ready for the enemy to attack and lie to you. The enemy wants nothing more than to make Jesus’s return numbing to you.

It’s easy for misunderstandings to occur: in business, in your family, with your friends. Today, Pastor JD provides practical suggestions to help you avoid misunderstandings. And when they do occur, how to clear them up. It takes a little effort, and sometimes humility, but the payoff in harmony is worth the effort.

Every week, millions of people around the world hear the Bible read in churches, on the radio, and over the Internet. And that’s a wonderful thing. But, as Pastor JD points out today, it’s never enough only to hear the word of God. So, it’s important that you listen, but also that you put into practice the words of Jesus.

It’s always a temptation for us to reshape Jesus into something that conforms to what we already believe. As Pastor JD points out today, that’s always happened, and it’s still happening now. So, be sure that your Jesus is the one and only biblical Jesus. Never define Him other than as He presents Himself in His Word.

Today, Pastor JD talks about the importance of the Middle East regarding the return of Jesus. We see throughout the scripture how important the Middle East is. The brokenness surrounding the Middle East was spoken upon, it should give you confidence in the power of God, whatever He says is true and will happen.

Many things compete in this world to be idols. We should be very careful to not let ourselves get swept away into idolatry. Today Pastor JD will urge you to stand against idols like the god of science and the god of politics. Don’t remain silent and let their lies go unopposed. Remain firm in the truth found in the Bible.

What is the spirit of the antichrist? It’s something we have to be on the lookout for. Pastor JD will warn you today to be on guard against false prophecy and false teaching. The spirit of the antichrist is something that has been in the world long before now. Test all teaching carefully against the Word of God.

It’s pretty amazing the amount of attention that Jesus gets from those who don’t believe in Him. Today, Pastor JD points out that this is exactly what we’d expect – if Jesus really is the unique Son of God. You see, you can even take the criticism of Jesus as evidence that your faith is in the One and Only Genuine Son of God!

What decision has been on your mind lately? Do you have a job to consider? Are you contemplating a surgery? Perhaps you’re wondering if you should go with public or home school for the kids. Whatever the case, Pastor JD provides you with sound advice in today’s message – align your choice with God’s truth.

As a Christian, there is no doubt that you will face temptations. The flesh is a hungry monster that wants to be fed. So, how do you keep the flesh from devouring you? Today, Pastor JD teaches that if you want to overcome temptation, you need to starve out the flesh by walking with the Holy Spirit.

What will the antichrist be like? In his message today, Pastor JD will explain that the antichrist will have a blasphemous mouth. He will be against everything that God stands for. He will come like Satan, to steal, kill, and destroy. He wants to steal hope, killjoy, and destroy your faith, but thank God the church will be gone.

Do you know what the antichrist will look like? Maybe not in a literal sense, but will he be a political leader or a spiritual leader? Today, Pastor JD will help you know what to look for. There may be an antichrist ready to go in the wings right now. He’s just waiting for the church to be raptured to start his work.

People will try and dismiss Bible prophecy by saying, “Well, I’m not a bad person! I do good things!” But Pastor JD doesn’t want you to fall for that delusion. All have sinned and fallen short of God’s Glory, and are in need of a Savior. You need to turn your life over to Jesus, or face the consequences in the life to come.

Part of human nature is having an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. However, Jesus teaches us to turn the other cheek and walk the extra mile instead. In today’s message, Pastor JD will challenge you to live up to this teaching. When someone rejects you, don’t seek revenge. Instead, show the love of God.

If you’ve ever been down the toy aisle of your favorite supermarket, you’ve likely witnessed the distress of a child not getting the toy they want or the distress of a parent having to discipline their screaming child. In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches that, sometimes, God might have to discipline you.

What if there was a way to know exactly how any decision you need to make might pan out? What if there was a way to gain valuable life advice? Well… you’re in luck! Today, Pastor JD teaches that there are plenty of those who have gone before you in life who are willing to guide you based on their experiences.

When was the last time you were out in public and came across a sidewalk preacher? Though they may have the Kingdom of God at heart, their tactics scare people away from the Gospel more often than not. Pastor JD encourages you to approach people in humility and gentleness to present Jesus to them.

Are you prepared with what you will say when you finally encounter someone ready to hear about Jesus? Or will you stutter and try and pull out your smartphone to find something to say? Pastor JD doesn’t want you to be caught off guard, but instead, be ready to answer for the hope that you have in Christ.

The world is full of people who are searching for answers to the meaning of the events they see going on in the news. Pastor JD wants you to realize that the Bible has the answers people are looking for, they just need someone to share it with them. Be emboldened to share the news of Jesus with those around you.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Live your truth,”? Well in today’s message, Pastor JD reminds you there is only one truth and that is found in Jesus! Like your belt holds up your pants, the truth of Jesus is the anchor that holds everything in your life together; or at least He should be. Without Jesus at the center, everything is relative.
