In Spirit & Truth

Today Pastor JD will be taking a slightly different approach to the Prophecy update. He'll be taking a look at the wider scope of Biblical prophecies, looking to the Old and New Testaments to help define current events. Pastor JD today will share what he believes to be the Top 10 prophecies that can be seen in the world right now!

As painful as it can be in the times we need it most, waiting on God to respond or move in our lives during difficulty always pays off in the end. As Pastor JD will remind you in his message today, God rules over all, and God overrules all. In his study, you'll be encouraged to take heart in knowing that God never forsakes His own.

Whenever we have a friend or loved one in need, we're often quick to try and comfort them with words, rather than sympathy, compassion, and love. In some cases, we can even end up doing more damage than good. As Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, we should be both sensitive and discerning when others are in need. 

Have you ever found yourself wondering why it seems as though God is silent during the times you need Him most in your life? In today's message, Pastor JD will teach you that it's times like these that your faith and reliance upon God can grow the most. In his study, you'll learn the importance of humbly depending upon The Lord.

As you've probably experienced at some point in your walk with The Lord, the Christian life can sometimes feel burdensome. In some cases, it can even feel as though life was easier before coming to Christ. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on the Psalmist's plea before God in regards to the spiritual tensions that occur in the life of the believer. 


 Gospel means “good news.” The good news of Jesus Christ is that He came down from heaven in the form of a man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins, and returned to Heaven where He will remain until His second coming. When you choose Jesus, you are free in Christ. Today, Pastor JD asks, “What are you doing with that freedom?”

Today, Pastor JD again discusses the tensions between Iran, Israel, the United States and other nations. He asks the important question, “So why does it even matter?” It matters because prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. The Lord’s return is imminent. It is better that we be ready and have the Lord tarry, than for Him to come and we be unprepared!

While we might be grateful looking back with hindsight, there's not very many of us that are ecstatic when we're in the midst of trials or suffering. In most cases, all we can think of is when they'll end. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on how God uses our trials and suffering to establish a deeper relationship that we wouldn't experience otherwise. 

Whether we care to admit it or not, many of us struggle with patience in our lives. Combine this with the reality that God is never late, nor is He ever early, patience ends up being quite the challenge. However, as Pastor JD will teach you in his message today, God's timing is His own and for many good reasons.

Many of us would find it hard to believe that God would use someone who deliberately disobeyed His instruction to enter into ministry. However, one of the greatest examples of this is none other than Jonah. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on what is perhaps one of the greatest revivals to take place, even in Jonah's rebellion. 

All throughout history words have transformed in both their meaning and their usage. While many of these changes are perfectly fine, some of them have ended up being rather unfortunate. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on certain words being made common that were once reserved to describe our holy, righteous, and awesome God.

Tensions between the US and Iran are at an all-time high and continuing to escalate. At some point, someone will break. In today’s update, Pastor JD reminds us that there is a warning light for us to pay attention to regarding the end of days. Jesus is coming with His trumpet very soon, and we need to pay attention and be ready. Share His gospel with everyone. v

Many of us would be quick to agree that there's often barriers in place when it comes to the translation of languages and cultures. When it comes to the Bible, this can be especially true. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on this reality while teaching us how a minor variation can result in a major misunderstanding.

Today Pastor JD teaches us about two kinds of worship: silent and thunderously loud. God is the picture of perfection, and He is forever worthy of our worship. Pastor JD wants you to know that while sometimes quiet and silent worship is the best, at other times, it’s necessary to lift your voice and hands in reverent worship of the Almighty.

Pastor JD explains what fear is, and how it can be a form of not trusting in Jesus. Jesus wants to give you His love and peace, but sometimes the trials of life might make you question that fact. Well, Pastor JD wants you to know that you shouldn’t question the Lord’s will, for He does everything with purpose and reason, even when you aren’t able to see it yet.

Pastor JD shows us what God’s jealousy & love for us means. God’s the only one you can count on when everything’s going wrong (or right) in life – so you should always be turning to Him. Pastor JD teaches us that it’s important not to forget that fact when we’re at our lowest points. Have you tried calling out to God when life overwhelms you? Seek Him today.

In today’s update, Pastor JD mentions three ways you can insert Christianity into a conversation. First, ask, “Is there anything I can pray for you?” Second, share what God has done in your life. And third, when you have their attention, share the ABCs of faith. A – admit you are a sinner. B – Believe Jesus Christ is Lord. C – Call upon the name of the Lord.

Today, Pastor JD asks the difficult question, “Where is the United States in the end times?” Christianity in this country is in a rapid decline. Pastor JD and many other Christian leaders theorize that this is because pastors don’t preach the Word of God and Christians don’t share their faith. Corrupt politicians and legislation are not the cause, but only a mirror of our society. 

Today Pastor JD teaches us about God’s never ending love and devotion to us, His children. Trials come and go on this earth, but it’s easy to get overwhelmed in the midst of them. However, Pastor JD wants you to see that God is right there with you, walking through the storm by your side. You aren’t alone even when you feel like it.

Today Pastor JD teaches us to cry out to God when life becomes too much or our weakness begins to take over. God loves you, and He wants to see you grow in His word and His strength. Pastor JD wants you to know that God will see you through the storm, but you must admit your need for Him and His saving grace.

Today Pastor JD demonstrates the importance of seeking God, in the good times and the bad. When life gets hard, or we go through a rough patch, it can be easy to want to give up and close off everyone, including God. But Pastor JD says that it’s in these moments that you should earnestly be seeking out the Lord! He will give you strength to get through it!

Today Pastor JD speaks about the day of judgement, when God will judge each of us individually and accordingly. That may sound scary, because no one likes to be judged. But Pastor JD shows us that we can be ready for that day by living our lives for Jesus. Have you been living your life for Him? It’s not too late to begin anew today. God’s waiting to hear from you.

In today’s message, Pastor JD implores you to take the return of the Lord seriously. Live a life that reflects the fact that you believe His return is imminent and share the gospel with urgency. Shine your light in this dark world which is getting darker by the minute. But also, be so excited for the day the trumpet will sound and you're caught up in the clouds with your Lord! 

More Christians have died in recent years than in the entire history of the church of Jesus Christ. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that God is still in control. Further, what do we expect? As Jesus’ return draws near, the Bible tells us that evil and lawlessness will increase. We cannot react in anger or fear. We must continue to have patience, be encouraged, and live Godly lives.
