Many people today will declare that good people go to Heaven.  Or there are multiple ways to go to Heaven.  Let’s all just be tolerant and accepting.  However, as Pastor John teaches today, the truth of the bible is that there is one way to Heaven – and that is through faith in Jesus Christ.  And once you’ve done that, you’re a child of God, living in light and freedom, destined for Heaven.  If you haven’t placed your faith in Christ, you’re still a slave to sin and darkness and you die in those sins.  Choose faith in Christ today!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 8 as he continues his message Jesus Light of the World.

As God led His people through the wilderness, after He’d taken them out of the darkness of slavery, He was with them.  Through His presence, He gave them light, protection and guidance.  Today, Pastor John explains how Jesus becomes your light, protection and guidance once you put your faith in Him.  You no longer live in the darkness of slavery to sin.  Jesus has freed you and now lights your way.  He is THE WAY to eternal life in Heaven.  Trust Him in all things, and He will light the way!

Do you ever look at someone else’s sin and breathe a sigh of relief that at least you’re not that bad.  Your sins are minor compared to that person.  Yet, as Pastor John explains today, Jesus sees all sins – the visible, outward “bad” sins, and the hidden, easy-to-ignore sins.  If you rejoice because you don’t have any big, visible sins, take a deep look into your own heart.  In there you may find pride, selfishness and unkindness.  Those are just as bad as murder and adultery.  Jesus sees those.  And He forgives those as well!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 8 as he continues his message The Savior and the Sinner.

It’s often easier to see someone else’s sin than your own.  And because of that, there’s a temptation to develop a judgmental attitude toward their sin.  You may quickly jump to condemning them for it.  However, as Pastor John explains today, Jesus instead desires you to recognize and repent of your own sin before you point out others’ sins. And if you feel led to speak up about that sin in someone else, do so in a loving and humble way.  Recognize you’ve been given abundant grace and should extend that to others.

Most of mankind are relentlessly seeking – looking everywhere and working tirelessly, just to fulfill the deep longings within themselves.  You could turn to money, pleasures, power or even church to find some satisfaction.  However, as Pastor John teaches today, you will forever be longing and wanting unless you turn to find your fulfillment in Jesus.  Only He can truly satisfy your deep thirst.  And when you come to Him with your need, and give Him your whole heart, He’ll abundantly provide for you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 7 as he continues his message Come and Drink.

Jesus faced enormous pressure from skeptics to prove Himself all the time.  Yet, He knew and understood that doing so in those moments wouldn’t glorify God or honor His plan.  It could be a temptation for you to go ahead and skip what God has for you to show everyone you’re right!  However, as Pastor John will teach you today, like Jesus, you must resist the world’s pressures.  Do what God has called you to in the way and in the time He has determined.  Remain in the center of God’s will for you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 7 as he begins his message Come and Drink.

Jesus, while on earth, began teaching the crowds truth that was difficult for them to accept.  And many, like the Pharisees and the false disciples, turned and left Jesus.  But there were some, His faithful disciples, that stayed.  They heard the convicting and challenging truths of Jesus but knew that He was the Savior.  Today, Pastor John will encourage you to hold onto the truth that Jesus is your savior; He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  Don’t fall away when you read difficult truths in His word!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 6 as he continues his message To Whom Shall We Go.

Many people seek after God for what they can get from Him or because they simply want a promise of Heaven.  Yet, when they hear hard teaching, they quickly find someone else to follow.  Today, pastor John explains how many who followed after Jesus abandoned Him when He began teaching.  Jesus taught things they didn’t like and didn’t want to obey. It pushed against their lives and their desires.  How is your heart today?  Are you willing to still follow Jesus when He teaches hard things?

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 6 as he begins his message To Whom Shall We Go.

Far too many people believe that they’re in charge of their own salvation.  If they want it, they can earn it, learn it and achieve it.  Yet, as Pastor John teaches today, GOD is the one who draws you to Himself and salvation.  You cannot be saved any other way except by faith in Him.  Salvation is His work alone.  He’s pursuing you, even when you are running after everything else.  He speaks to you and calls you through the Holy Spirit and His word.  If you hear His voice, turn!  Come to Him in faith!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 6 as he continues his message Jesus the Bread of Life.

Men often keenly sense a deep need in their souls and try to fill it with things in this world.  But, as Pastor John will teach you today unless you seek God for who He is, you’ll be unsatisfied and still longing.  Jesus declared Himself “I AM” – meaning He is God who is all you will ever need.  In Him, you find meaning, life, satisfaction, and purpose.  Only He can satisfy you because He is what you need.  So, turn to Him and find life – both in this life on earth and in Heaven for eternity to come!
