In Spirit & Truth

In Spirit & Truth is the teaching ministry of Pastor JD Farag.

Today Pastor JD speaks about the cure for fearfulness. It’s easy to feel fear and anxiousness about current or future events and situations, but you need to remember that God is always with you and He’ll never abandon you. Pastor JD says that it’s important to trust God… always. Because trust in God is the one thing that can take all your fears away.

Pastor JD teaches us about the perils of allowing bitterness to grow inside us. It’s almost too easy to be bitter. But bitterness is like acid. It’ll eat you up from the inside out, leaving you unrecognizable. Pastor JD says to stop it before it destroys you and those around you. Are you letting bitterness rule over you, your thoughts, and your actions? Cut it out of your life today.

Today Pastor JD discusses the power of words, and how they might be used to build someone up, or to tear them down. Have you ever caught yourself gossiping about something you heard through the grapevine? How do you know that what you heard is true? Pastor JD warns you to be careful of speaking about things you haven’t witnessed for yourself.

You'll hear today exactly what Jesus did for you. You'll learn from Pastor JD that the Savior of the world gave up everything to be with people, the creation He loves, and then went to the cross to die for your sins. Pastor JD will then ask how you want to respond – are you ready to turn from your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

Jesus understands that life can be confusing. He sees you in your time of trial and He's compassionate. He loves you! Today Pastor JD will remind you that even men of faith like Peter and John the Baptist had their moments of questioning God's goodness, but in the end, they were willing to trust. Jesus is worthy of your faith, no matter what you're going through today!

Today Pastor JD speaks about the dangers of a lying tongue or a deceitful word. He teaches us that it’s important for us to speak the truth, because a lie that seems innocent to one person.. might in fact be detrimental to another’s life. It’s important that you work on taming your tongue if you find yourself speaking out dishonestly. Ask for God’s guidance in this task.

David had lost his joy after grieving the Holy Spirit with his terrible sins. Pastor JD will teach the work of God in the midst of our brokenness. Brokenness brings you closer to God in ways that you could not otherwise. You experience greater humility and compassion for people. Brokenness restores joy, praise, and thanksgiving for God's incredible mercy!

King David deliberately sinned, and now he's confronted for his unrepentance. Pastor JD will teach what happens when David finally confesses his sin. He's completely broken. But it's in your brokenness that you experience God in a way like never before. He meets you there. God values your broken heart as a pleasing sacrifice to Him. 

David concealed his sin, which caused tragic consequences. Many lives were affected and lost because of his lies. Pastor JD will share this story that goes from bad to worse. David murdered to cover his adultery. Sin breeds sin. He had many chances to confess it all and stop the snowball of mistakes... but he didn't.

You'll hear today exactly what Jesus did for you. You'll learn from Pastor JD that the Savior of the world gave up everything to be with people, the creation He loves, and then went to the cross to die for your sins. Pastor JD will then ask how you want to respond – are you ready to turn from your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

Jesus understands that life can be confusing. He sees you in your time of trial and He's compassionate. He loves you! Today Pastor JD will remind you that even men of faith like Peter and John the Baptist had their moments of questioning God's goodness, but in the end, they were willing to trust. Jesus is worthy of your faith, no matter what you're going through today!

Today, we'll study a Psalm that speaks of the Kingdom Age, the Millennium Reign, which is the one-thousand-year period when Christians will reign with Christ. Pastor JD will teach about these future events after the rapture of the Church. He'll highlight that the heart of God has never been for your sacrifice, but for a relationship with you!

Today, we'll reflect on the temptation to trust in riches instead of God. Pastor JD will talk about the issues caused by excessive wealth in this world. The love of money is the root of all evil! Accumulating wealth on Earth is foolish because you'll leave everything behind when you die... Instead, Jesus encourages us to store treasures in Heaven!

When God says He'll do something... He'll do it! Even if it seems impossible in our own eyes. Pastor JD will talk about the return of Jesus and the destruction of Israel's enemies - in the past and in the future. So many prophecies seem hard to believe in, but sometimes God allows the unlikely, so He can do the impossible and be glorified!

Today, we'll study a psalm of great celebration and praise. People were clapping and shouting to the Lord, singing praises and exalting Him. Pastor JD will reflect on reasons why, in general, we tend to contain ourselves and limit the expression of our worship. We might fear people's opinions of our praise, much like when David's wife judged him for his public worship.

Peace in the middle east has been a goal of countless people throughout the ages. And from the very beginning, President Donald Trump has said that he WILL BRING peace to the middle east. As conservative Christians, we have seen a lot of victories in this administration. That said, we know that we know that we know...peace will only come to the middle east when Jesus returns.

Our president, Donald Trump, has called peace in the middle east his “BIG DEAL”. He's a real estate tycoon that has made millions on land transactions. Is it possible that he will reveal the very plan that the Bible speaks about? Friends, we know that the ONLY peace that will ever be seen in the middle east will be when the LORD Jesus returns and rules and reigns in righteousness.

Today, Pastor JD will teach a Psalm of celebration. The Israelites praise God because He's delivered them! They faced a big threat, but the Lord destroyed their enemies! He's indeed very present help in times of trouble. He tells you not to fear, which you do in faith, believing His Word and who He is. He says, “be still and behold that I am God!”

The Bible presents beautiful parallels between love stories and Jesus' relationship with His bride, the Church. The prophecies of Jesus' return describe exactly the Jewish tradition regarding the groom's preparation for his marriage. Today, Pastor JD will teach about the return of Jesus when He'll come to take us, His bride.
 

What happens when the enemy comes your way? The Assyrians conquered and slaughtered every people group they faced - and they were now headed toward Jerusalem. In this terrifying context, the psalmist cries out to the Lord for help and mercy. The enemy is after them! Pastor JD will teach the promises of God for when you're facing a big threat.

In today's message, Pastor JD will remind you that the Lord cannot abandon you! It's simply impossible! In Psalms, David cries out because he's going through a hard season. However, in that moment, he reminds himself that he will yet praise the Lord, because God will come through. He will provide. He's always been faithful and He'll continue to be!

President Donald Trump continues to stun the world with his leadership. From strong actions on border security to standing up to the press, there really hasn't been anything that he's backed down from. Today Pastor JD will share with us the strong similarities between President Donald Trump and the character in the Bible known as Cirrus.

Is it possible that Isaiah chapter seventeen and Ezekiel chapter thirty eight are speaking of the same prophetic event? Today Pastor JD explores this possibility. The most important fact that we MUST keep in mind is that we have a current president who's top goal is to bring peace to the middle east. He sees this as his “greatest deal”.

Today, Pastor JD will teach key practices that will help you when you're depressed or discouraged. The Bible highlights the importance of watching your thoughts. Don't give room to the thoughts the enemy wants to plant in your mind. He'll also try to isolate you. We're weaker alone! But together we're encouraged, and love is stirred up!
