If someone handed you a microphone and asked you to introduce Jesus to a room full of strangers, what would you say? In this message from John chapter 1, Pastor Justin Cooper shows how the Apostle John — the disciple who walked with Jesus and stood at His cross — introduces the Lord to the whole world. John doesn't start at Bethlehem. He starts before time itself.

You've read the creation account before. But have you ever noticed the four words hiding at the end of Genesis 1:16? "He made the stars also." Same day as the sun and the moon. Four hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone — spoken into being with a single word. In this closing message of the 2026 National Sword of the Lord Conference, Pastor Justin Cooper shows how that tiny tagline reveals a God who is powerful, personal, and purposeful — and why it changes everything about how you see your own life.

Everybody wants to tell you what's wrong with America. Almost nobody wants to get on their knees and do something about it. In "A Message to America," Pastor Justin Cooper reframes the entire conversation — because the real threat to a nation isn't only the sin out in the culture, it's the sin hidden in the camp.

Ever look at somebody else's life and wonder how they got so blessed? The truck, the house, the job that fell in their lap? In this message from Ruth chapter 2, Pastor Justin Cooper flips that question on its head. Ruth had nothing — a widow, a stranger, gleaning the corners of a field — until grace found her in the field of Boaz and loaded her down until she could barely see over her blessing. And the same God has been that good to you.

Andrew had been saved about a minute. No Sunday school. No discipleship course. No polish. But the first thing he did was run and find his brother — and that brother was Peter. In this message, Pastor Justin Cooper unpacks the life of the Bible's most overlooked apostle and shows why bringing one person to Jesus outlasts every career on earth.

Every church has a handful — the person who's hard to love, hard to manage, and hard to be patient with. In this message, Pastor Justin Cooper opens 1 Thessalonians 5 and shows exactly what God says to do about it — because if you're honest, you've probably been the handful too.

What does it actually mean to follow Jesus? Not claim him. Not carry a Bible. Not put "Christ follower" in your bio. Actually follow — the way you follow a GPS, a speed limit, or a set of rules. Total obedience. Total submission. Total surrender.

In this message, Pastor Justin Cooper walks through Luke 9:57–62 and identifies three types of would-be disciples: the Homebody who won't follow unless it's comfortable, the Undertaker who puts carnal things first, and the Plowman who starts strong but gets distracted and looks back.

You could build a solid case for quitting. Most of us could. But what if the thing you've been praying God would take away is actually the thing keeping you closest to Him?

In this message from 2 Corinthians 12, Pastor Justin Cooper unpacks four God-given ingredients that kept the Apostle Paul in the fight — and how those same ingredients work in your life right now.

What if the biggest threat to the church isn't division — but unity?

In Part Two of Addicted to Apostasy: The Drift, Pastor Justin Cooper of Gospel Light Baptist Church (Walkertown, NC) makes a case that will reframe how you see ecumenicalism, interfaith dialogue, and the global "come together" movement. Starting in Revelation 13, Pastor Cooper walks through the biblical blueprint for a one-world religion — and then shows you how many of the pieces are already in place.

Is the church in America drifting — and do most Christians even know it?

In Part One of his series on Apostasy, Pastor Justin Cooper of Gospel Light Baptist Church (Walkertown, NC) sounds the alarm.
