Today, Pastor JD asks the question, what motivates us? The Apostle Paul was known for his selflessness as well as his brutal honesty and he made sure people didn’t think he was in the ministry for money or fame. He defended himself in order that his message could not be discredited and could yet be received.

Waiting around with nothing to do is even boring to think about. Today, Pastor JD reminds us that, as Christians, we can’t simply wait around until Jesus comes back. You’re called to prepare for His return. There are plenty of people who still need to hear the gospel; anticipate His return by doing all you can to spread His love.

Today, Pastor JD discusses how faith is not an easy thing to maintain. There will always be storms in life and if you think your faith won’t be tested, you’re mistaken. But even though God has promised trials, He’s also promised to be with you through them. Faith weathers all storms because God is there to weather them with you.

Some people go through hard times and become bitter because of them. Pastor JD reminds us today that God allows us to go through trials and be broken down in order that our hearts might soften and become malleable in His hands. It’s out of love that He allows you to hurt, so that you can understand how deep His love is.

We don’t typically value broken things; it’s a visual represent-tation of who we are. Today, Pastor JD talks about how broken-ness is necessary in order for God to work in your life. If you don’t realize you have needs, how can you rejoice when they’re filled? God lovingly shows us our needs and then graciously fills them.

It’s far too easy to give up hope and think everything is going to come crashing down. Pastor JD reminds us today how our suffering is essential to our growth, but beyond that, it’s merely temporary. You might feel desperate, but be encouraged and know that God has overcome the world, and He has the final say.
