In Spirit & Truth

As believers and followers of Christ, many of us spend the days of our lives learning the “why's” of our faith. Once we learn about what and why we do certain things, our next question is often “how.” As Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, our reliance upon God's Spirit is crucial when it comes to the “how” of our faith.

While we'd probably care not to admit it, many of us have various struggles with authority, especially when that authority seems compromised or even corrupt.

Have you ever felt an absolute peace about moving forward on something in your life, only to find that it didn't necessarily line up with God's Word?

Whenever we read certain passages that give us a list of spiritual practices, we sometimes fall into the trap of trying to prioritize one over the other.

Among the list of things that contribute to “inner beauty” the Apostle Paul places compassion at the front of the list.

Do you have compassion for others?

Pastor JD talks to us today about what our lives should look like as followers of Christ. When you accept Jesus into your heart, you discard a sinful nature and take on one that’s of God. That moral and upright behavior should be apparent to all. You no longer live for the flesh, but rather you live to bring God the glory.

Today, Pastor JD gives us a much-needed reminder that – as Christians – we’re called to die to ourselves every single day. If you’re born again in Christ, then you have new purpose for your life; the habits and tendencies that plagued you before no longer hold priority. In Jesus, there is hope and a new nature for all who believe.

Today, Pastor JD talks about how this world is temporary and will quickly fade away. The treasure you have on this earth are fleeting and fruitless. Which is why Jesus encouraged us to store up treasure in Heaven. When you set your mind on things of Heaven instead of earth, then your rewards will be eternal.

Jerusalem is referenced over 700 times in the Hebrew Bible. It’s not mentioned a single time in the Qur’an. This is only one example of the absurdity of Islam’s claim to this special city.

Today Pastor JD shares with us the story of the two women who came to King Solomon who brought a nearly impossible scenario...a dead child and a living child.

Eternity is a hard concept to grasp when all we know is this worldly life. Pastor JD talks to us today about having a mindset for eternity.

Pastor JD talks to us today about how we are justified by faith, under grace alone. Your works don’t save you. But if your faith’s in God, then you will perform works that are evident of that faith. When Jesus is your everything, you can’t help but expand to be more like Him. He becomes not only your rest, but your inspira-tion.

Pastor JD discusses today, how so many traditions of the old testament are no longer necessary because they were satisfied when Jesus died on the cross. The sabbath and celebratory feasts merely pointed to the rest and joy that can now be found in Christ. Don’t settle for a shadow when you can have the real thing.

When you spend time with people, it’s those people whom you begin to take after.
