In a world divided by sides, the most important question is whether you are on God’s side. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson begins a new series in John 1, where Jesus is revealed as the Word—eternal, divine, and the source of all truth. From the very beginning, He was with God and He is God, and every belief about Him determines our eternal destiny. Pastor John explains how this spiritual battle is not just between opinions, but between truth and lies, light and darkness, God and Satan. Discover why your choice about Jesus is the most important decision of your life, and how His invitation leads to forgiveness, salvation, and life with God forever.

What if all of human history could be summed up as a marriage gone wrong—and a wedding yet to come? In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson takes us from Genesis, where sin fractured Adam and Eve’s relationship with God and each other, to Revelation 19, where Christ returns for His bride. The Bible begins and ends with marriage, reminding us that God is the God of relationships. Though Satan works to divide and destroy, Jesus pursues us, purifies us, and promises eternal joy with Him. Discover how allowing God to transform your heart today prepares you for the wedding feast of the Lamb and for relationships that reflect His holiness, both now and forever.

Why do families so often fall into conflict? In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson takes us to Genesis 4:8, where Cain lured his brother Abel into the fields and committed the first murder recorded in Scripture. Cain’s jealousy grew into hatred, and his unchecked anger led to tragedy. Pastor John reminds us that the same dangers threaten our homes today—resentment and unforgiveness, if left to fester, will always bear destructive fruit. Yet Romans 12 points us to a different way: letting God transform our thinking so we can forgive as Christ has forgiven us. If you’ve ever wrestled with anger or family tension, this episode shows how Jesus breaks the cycle and brings hope into the most broken relationships.

Every relationship carries tension, and the Bible explains why. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores Genesis 3:16, where God reveals how sin fractured the bond between husband and wife. Left to our sinful nature, wives will want to control, and husbands will be tempted to misuse strength—leading to conflict instead of harmony. Yet this passage is not God’s design but a picture of what happens when we live apart from Him. Discover how Christ transforms marriages and relationships, breaking cycles of power struggles and leading us into grace-filled love. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to find peace at home, this episode offers hope rooted in Jesus.

From the very beginning, Satan has worked to tear apart our relationship with God and with one another. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks Genesis 3:15, where God foretells the coming Messiah who would crush the serpent’s head. At the cross, Jesus struck the fatal blow against Satan, yet the enemy still seeks to wound and divide us today. Discover how Christ’s victory empowers you to resist demonic attacks and claim God’s promises over your family and relationships. If you feel the enemy pressing in, take heart—Jesus has already won the decisive battle, and His protection is available to you right now.

From the very beginning of human history, shame has been at the root of our broken relationships. In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks Genesis 3:8, where Adam and Eve hid from God after sin entered the world. That same shame still drives us to hide from God and from each other—causing isolation, deception, and strain in our closest relationships. But this is not the end of the story. As we continue this series, discover how Jesus heals the shame that separates us and restores true connection in our homes and families.

Why do even our closest relationships—marriages, families, and friendships—carry so much pain, shame, and misunderstanding? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson takes us back to Genesis to uncover the spiritual battle that has raged against families since Adam and Eve. Discover why Satan targets what God values most—souls, families, and relationships—and how Jesus alone offers the healing and restoration we long for. If your relationship feels hopeless, today’s message will remind you that with God, all things are possible.

What’s the most important thing you can do to strengthen your marriage, your parenting, or any close relationship? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson points us to Romans 12:2 and the call to “die to self” daily in order to live like Christ. Money, beauty, and even therapy can’t guarantee lasting love, but a life surrendered to Jesus transforms our thinking and our relationships. Discover how choosing to obey Christ every day leads to healthier, more joy-filled connections with the people you love most.

How do you know God’s plan for your life? In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks Romans 12:2 to reveal the key: letting God transform you by changing the way you think. God has desires for your life—good, pleasing, and perfect desires. But experiencing them isn’t automatic; it requires daily surrender and openness to His transforming work. Discover how to walk in God’s will by resisting the world’s patterns, renewing your mind in His truth, and learning to embrace His best for your relationships, your choices, and your future.

In today’s Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares a vivid story from his family’s adoption journey in Haiti to illustrate God’s vision for our homes. Just as the U.S. Embassy was an outpost of safety and order in a broken nation, God desires that your home be a little outpost of heaven on earth. But how does this happen? Romans 12:2 gives us the answer: it begins with letting God transform us by changing the way we think. Discover how surrendering your mindset to Christ can reshape your relationships, your family, and your home into a reflection of heaven.
