The first people on earth, Adam and Eve, were given a choice to live in perfect harmony with God and all creation or to have the knowledge of good and evil. They chose wrong, and we've been paying the price ever since. But God had a perfect plan to save us, knowing we could never save ourselves. He had the perfect covering for our sins—the blood of Jesus. Pastor John will show us today that we can only be saved by grace and faith in Jesus. None of your works will ever be enough.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Jude chapter 1 as he continues his message The Acts of the Apostates.

People may look at you like you're crazy once you accept Jesus. The truth is, you will act differently than the world around you, and people won't understand. Pastor John will show us today that this is because when you come to Jesus, you are finally based in true reality. Everyone else is still living a fiction. The two worlds don't mesh with each other! Saying “yes” to Jesus is the first step to a whole new world that has a firm foundation in the reality of God's great, unending love!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Acts chapter 20 as he begins his message The Acts of the Apostates.

Pastor John will show us today that unbelief is a thief, robbing you of God's blessings and plans in your life. When you look back at the defining moments in your life, are they moments of faith or fear? Do you have moments you can point to that are moments of fear and unbelief? You may have missed opportunities God had prepared for you because you were afraid. But you don't have to stay there; you can make a different choice today! Don't let unbelief rob you of God's purposes for you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Jude chapter 1 as he continues his message The Apostates—Their Past Judgements.

What you believe will influence how you live. It's not what you say you believe that defines your life, but what you actually believe in your heart. Do you believe that God exists? That He is all-powerful and loving, and that he cares for you? Then you will live a life that is free. The world may fall apart around you, but you will not be shaken because the Spirit of God lives inside of you. In today's message, Pastor John will show us that what you believe will influence how you live every time.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Jude chapter 1 as he begins his message The Apostates—Their Past Judgements.

You're already in the army of God. You've given your life to him, and as such, he is your commander. But you've still got choices to make! Pastor John tells us today that it isn't a question of whether or not you will be a soldier, but what kind of soldier will you be? When you get up, are you a soldier who is considering what your mission is? Or are you caught up in the grind of day-to-day living and forgetting that you are fighting a war for the king of kings? Which kind of life do you want to live?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Jude chapter 1 as he continues his message The Call to Earnestly Contend.

Pastor John is making his way through the book of Jude in the current series. Jude had an important message to share with the believers, but he didn't use his position as the half-brother of Jesus to get his point across. Instead, he let them know who he was by saying he was the brother of James and gave himself the title, servant of Jesus Christ. How do you identify yourself? Father, Mother, CEO, Boss, friend? When you think about who you are, remember that before anything else, you are a servant of Jesus.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Jude chapter 1 as he begins his message The Call to Earnestly Contend.

When it feels like everyone else around you has got it easier, or is having more fun in every aspect of life, it can be discouraging as you continue to do the right thing.  God calls you to work hard, live a godly life, give up sin, love others and serve Him.  This requires sacrifice and humility!  And today, Pastor John will encourage you with Paul’s encouragement to the church - don’t grow weary doing good!  Continue to do what God calls you to.  He’ll strengthen and sustain you as you do!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians chapter 3 as he continues his message How to Deal with the Disobedient.

In our culture today, everyone is supposed to tolerate all sin, and we’re all supposed to believe our own things and let others live how they want.   But God desires purity in the church.  And He has laid out ways you’re to confront sin in the church.  It can’t be ignored or tolerated in the name of unity.  Today, Pastor John will give you practical steps to expose and deal with sin and sinners in the church.  This can’t be done with a haughty, proud attitude, but you must begin in love with a desire to keep the church pure.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians chapter 3 as he begins his message How to Deal with the Disobedient.

There are many good and plenty of dysfunctional churches out there today.  And today, Pastor John will describe some things a godly and strong church should be doing.  Paul encouraged the church in Thessalonica to pray for their leaders.  When members lift each other in prayer, it demonstrates faith and unity.  A healthy church should trust the Lord is faithful in all things.  Members cannot doubt God’s goodness, or they’ll grow weak! And out of that trust, they should live in obedience to God and His word.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians chapter 3 for his message A Pastor’s Desire for God’s People.

Our nation has sadly drifted farther and farther from God and His word.  And as a nation, we are deserving of God’s judgment.  Sin is celebrated.  Truth is relative.  Opinions drive morality.  And in this divisive and troubled nation, believers must hold fast to God’s word!  Today, Pastor John will explain what it looks like to hold fast to scripture.  You must believe, honor and love God’s word.  You need to study, know, and guard it in your heart.  You should preach it and be willing to fight for the truth!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 as he continues his message Standing in the Truth.
