If you’re like me, you look at everything happening in the world right now and wonder, “Lord, what are you waiting for?” Why hasn’t He come back with the armies of heaven to reveal His glory and take us home to heaven? Today, Pastor John will tell us that the answer is mercy. Every day that God delays the Rapture is an opportunity for repentance. This moment, right now, is the time for everyone to bow their knees before Jesus! So witness boldly! Jesus could come back at any time!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 16, as he begins his message, John 16:1-15.

When we open up any of the gospels, we immediately see that the world hated Jesus. Both the religious leaders and the pagan rulers sought to kill Jesus, and ultimately they did. God doesn’t promise that this life will be easy for us. He actually promises the opposite — that we’ll face trials and suffering. But Pastor John will remind us today that the Lord is with us in those painful situations! They are opportunities to let His holiness and glory shine! So don’t lose hope when the world hates you! Keep following Jesus!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 15, as he continues his message, John 15.

When you miss a meal, it’s immediately clear that you’ve done so. It’s not a mystery! You don’t have to wonder if you skipped lunch because your body tells you that you did by making you hungry! Today, Pastor John will show you that choosing not to spend time in God’s Word is like missing a meal! The Bible is food for our souls! Without it, we become spiritually malnourished! So set aside a part of your day just for prayer and time in Scripture! Feast on the Word of God and be filled!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 15, as he begins his message, John 15.

If you’ve placed your faith in Jesus, you are IN Christ. You are dressed in the righteousness of the Savior and can stand before God without fearing judgment! You are a child of God and have billions of spiritual family members! You have access to Jesus every moment of every day, forever! Today, Pastor John will remind you of these immense blessings and what it means to abide in Christ. Walk in freedom, knowing that the King of Kings is with you wherever you go, empowering you for gospel ministry!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 14, as he begins his message, John 14:15-31.

One of the most exciting parts of heaven, for me, is knowing that we’ll all get resurrected bodies! We won’t have to eat or sleep anymore. We’ll never get tired. We won’t ever catch the flu again or live with life-altering diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. And death will just be a memory! We will never watch a loved one pass away again! In fact, we’ll be reunited with friends and family who died years ago! Today, Pastor John will encourage us to keep holding on, because eternity with Jesus is coming!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 14, as he continues his message, John 14:1-14.

I don’t know about you, but I have days where I feel like the pressure of life is physically weighing me down. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by work, school, relationships, health, and everything else that this world throws at us. But today, Pastor John will remind us that Jesus commands us not to let our hearts be troubled! He doesn’t suggest it; He commands it! And He does this because He Himself is the antidote for worry! He always provides exactly what we need! So hold on to hope!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 14, as he begins his message, John 14:1-14.

If there’s one word that sums up Jesus’s mission and ministry, it’s “love.” The Messiah came down from heaven out of love for the people whom He created. Jesus served others throughout His time on Earth, knowing they could never repay Him, out of love. The Savior even loved us enough to face the cross and God’s wrath in our place! Today, Pastor John will challenge us to live like Jesus, loving sacrificially in every situation and circumstance. The world will know we are Christians by our love!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 13, as he continues his message, John 13.

The story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet is one of the most beautifully shocking passages in Scripture. Jesus had every right to command one of His followers to fulfill that lowly role. But instead, He did it Himself out of love and compassion! Today, Pastor John will challenge us to follow the Messiah’s example, laying aside our status and comfort to serve. Like the lowliest slave, we should seek out opportunities to bless others, regardless of what it costs us. If the Son of God did it, so can we!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John, chapter 13, as he begins his message, John 13.

At the moment that you place your faith in Jesus, a miraculous exchange happens. All of your sins (past, present, and future) are nailed to the cross, where they will never be used against you again! Simultaneously, the perfect righteousness of Jesus is permanently wrapped around you. Your spiritual bank account goes from terrible debt to overwhelming riches! Today, Pastor John will challenge you to share that simple gospel truth with the people in your life! Bless others with the gift you’ve been given!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Romans, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Not Ashamed of the Gospel.

A wonderful truth of the gospel is that God never stops working on us. From the moment that we place our faith in Jesus, God starts transforming every aspect of our being. Like a sculptor with a block of marble, God chips away at our minds, hearts, and souls, making us into reflections of Jesus! Today, Pastor John will challenge us to surrender every part of ourselves to the King of Kings. He wants to make a masterpiece out of all of us, but He won’t force anyone to love Him. Our response is our responsibility!
