In Spirit & Truth

Satan doesn’t want a person filled with the Spirit because he loses his grip on that life. We can be sure to fall if we’re not living in the power of the Spirit. Pastor JD makes it very clear today how important the role of the Spirit is in our lives. Can you say that you’re daily walking in the power and the influence of the Spirit?

How can Jesus be the answer to everything we face? He gave us the solution in the Holy Spirit. Today Pastor JD shares that it’s through the Spirit we’re empowered and enabled to follow the Truth of God’s Word. Jesus didn’t leave us on our own to figure out life, but we can daily have guidance that’ll lead us to answers and hope this world can’t give.

Jesus is the answer to every problem we’ll face. This sounds cliché, but as we’ll hear from Pastor JD today, since Jesus is the only answer to our biggest problems of sin and death, He can handle anything else that comes our way. Take comfort in the fact that even if you don’t know what to do with a situation, Jesus always does.

Whether we're a brand new disciple or an age old believer, each and every one of us faces the danger of legalism. No matter how much of The Bible we might know, legalism can be just around the corner. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us that more often than not, our pride is the common denominator when it comes to legalism.

Our president, Donald Trump, has been known to make some pretty big financial deals in his time as a real estate and business mogul. And his approach to peace in the middle east has been much the same. He sees this as the BIGGEST DEAL he's ever made...brokering peace in the middle east. Pastor JD will make us aware of some upcoming events surrounding President Trump's attempt.

Peace in the middle east is something that world leaders have clamored after for quite some time. There have been various attempts from recognizing the Palestinian state to dividing the land of Israel. What we learn in Scripture is that peace will never come to the middle east until the return of our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ.

No matter how much time we might spend meditating on the words “it is finished” we somehow fall into the trap of legalism on occasion.
 As many of us already know, legalism devalues the work of the Cross. In today's message, Pastor JD warns us about the dangers of legalism and how it often creeps its way in unnoticed by many. 

One of the most unfortunate aspects of the human race is our natural inclination to be prejudiced towards one another. Whether it's race, background, or culture, being prejudice contradicts the Gospel. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us about the uniting nature of the Gospel and how all are one in Christ, no matter our race, background, or gender.

As some of us may have experienced, confronting a brother or sister in sin isn't always comfortable. Whether we're not good with words or we feel intimidated, relying on our own ability is dangerous. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us the importance of relying on God's Spirit and wisdom when it comes to confronting one another.

The ABC's of the Gospel seem like a simplistic way to connect with God. But, isn't that what we need? We need to admit that we're sinners, confess those sins, and accept Jesus as our ONLY means of forgiveness. This truly is the simplicity of the Gospel. Today Pastor JD will share with all of us...just what it means to be saved.

Today Pastor JD shares some current trends in the church. There is much being promoted in the church, in the name of outreach, that truly has no place. While we know that the Bible does not speak against drinking alcohol in moderation...it certainly speaks against drunkenness. Is it then wise for a church to integrate alcohol consumption into their church services?

Some of the struggles we face in life can often leave us feeling like there's nowhere or no one we can turn to for relief. However, we as believers have the ultimate source of guidance and comfort, God's Word. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us the importance of looking to God's Word for the guidance and application we need in our lives.

Many of us have gone through or will go through some of the most overwhelming of situations. How we respond to them is what makes all the difference in the world, especially as disciples of Christ. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us how it's these very trials that both draw us closer to God, and grow us in our walk as believers.

After almost two thousand years of the Church's existence, one would think there couldn't possibly be any new false doctrines. However, some of us may be familiar with what seems to be a fairly recent one. In today's message, Pastor JD warns us about the dangerous false doctrine of annihilationism, which teaches that Hell doesn't exist.

How many more volcanoes need to erupt for the world to start taking note? As believer's in Jesus Christ, we know that God's Word is filled with prophecies that speak of this very thing happening. And when does it say that this will happen? Increase cataclysmic events will begin to occur just before the return of Jesus Christ.

Some of us may have a been visited by Mormons or Jehova Witnesses at some point in our lives. While they might have some similarities to Christianity, it's important we realize they deviate from truth. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us the importance of taking a firm stand in our faith which is centered on Christ and Christ alone.

Ever since the foundation of the Church there have been countless attacks from many angles. From false doctrines to entirely different religions, there have been many who seek to undermine the Gospel. In today's message, Pastor JD starts us off in a new study while setting the foundation and context of The Book of Galatians.

Many times in our lives it can seem as though God is merely reacting to situations as they pop up. While these situations in our lives might catch us off guard, it's important we remember that God knows all. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us how God often orchestrates the environments in our lives as well as the outcome.

More and more we are seeing the creation beginning to grown with anticipation of the return of Christ. At the time that this prophecy update was shared Hawaii and Guatemala were experiencing an increase in volcanic activity. We need to be sure that we are sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible, while there's still time.

First of all...please remember to pray for the many people affected by the volcano activity in Hawaii. There are many people who are being threatened by what is happening. The other important thing to think about is the fact that God speaks of these very events taking place in the last days. And we are seeing a large increase in volcanic activity globally.

No matter how bad a situation might be in our lives, it's important that we remember God's faithfulness. What might seem to be impossible to recover from, God can turn around in an instant. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on just how quickly God turned the situation around regarding the decree of Haman to wipe out the Jews.

Not only does The Book of Esther provide us with a powerful display of God's sovereignty, but it also gives us one of faith. This display of faith comes from Mordechai when he tells Esther that God will deliver the Jews whether she confronts the king or not. In today's message, Pastor JD reflects on this powerful display of faith found in Mordechai.

Whenever we face a trial or crisis in life we typically gather together our resources and take them head on. However, as some of us may have experienced, we don't always have what it takes to succeed. In today's message, Pastor JD teaches us how God often puts us in situations in order to get us to humbly admit that we need Him.
