Have you ever had to do something that was painful? Have you gone to the gym to get stronger, or maybe shared a hard truth with a close friend? You don’t want to do it, but you must. Today, Pastor JD shares that even when the right thing to do is agonizing and painful, it is necessary to truly care for the people you love.

How do you determine whether a group photo is a decent picture or not? Is it based on the lighting? How sharp the image is, or whether it’s properly framed with a decent depth of field? Or is it based on whether you blinked? In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches that you may think about yourself more than you realize.

In today’s message, Pastor JD describes the Man of Lawlessness from 2 Thessalonians. He is a figure who opposes God, exalts himself above all worship, and deceives through miracles. But he’s a fraud, a counterfeit, a parody of the true Messiah. Don’t let him trick you: stay in God’s word.

Do you remember Enron? Or more recently, Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos? Really smart people deceived other really smart people. Today, Pastor JD warns you: the end times are coming, and whether you’re smart or not, you can be deceived. What will prevent you from deception? God’s word will provide the anchor.

Repentance is not the prerequisite for salvation in the Kingdom of God; it’s the evidence of it. Today, Pastor JD tells you that you don’t have to clean yourself up first, then come to Jesus. Come to Him, and He’ll do the cleaning. And trust me, He’ll do a much better job of it than you!

There are few things more peaceful than being alone in God’s creation, listening to the waves crash along the shore with a slight ocean breeze. It’s paradise! In today’s message, Pastor JD teaches that the peace that God offers you is like that, only better. It’s a peace that exists even in the harshest of storms.

Have you ever been inside a funhouse at a carnival with all the crazy mirrors? It’s hard to get a grasp of what you truly look like because the image is so distorted. Today, Pastor JD teaches that God’s Word isn’t like these mirrors – it reveals the true you. When you see parts of yourself you don’t like, it’s not scripture’s fault.

If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, then you are kept. What does this mean? Well, Pastor JD teaches in today’s message that this means that as the world gets more shaky and sinister, Jesus keeps you close to His heart, remembering you, caring for you, protecting you, and not sharing you with the world.

Knowing that Jesus is the Holy One, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords is not the same as believing that Jesus is all those titles and more. Today, Pastor JD urges you to not just know it in your mind but believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord. And not just know, but believe that He is returning soon.

Pastor JD declares to you in today’s message that the time to tell others about Jesus is now. Why? Because the return of Jesus is sooner today than it was yesterday. He’s coming, and if those around you don’t know that, who else will tell them? It’s time to declare the good news of Jesus Christ!
