The understanding of marriage in culture is constantly changing based on popular opinion.  Because the definition and importance of marriage have changed so much from what it should be, marriages and families are in jeopardy.   Today, Pastor John explains how God saw the man in creation and knew he needed a companion.  God designed the covenant relationship of marriage as good and important.  It’s not good for man to be alone.  And God, out of His great love, met that need with the gift of marriage.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Genesis chapter 1 as he continues his message The Sanctity of Marriage – Five Reasons Why.

Society tries to place value and base their lives upon various sources of authority.  Things like government, education, popular opinion become what people build their lives upon.  However, as Pastor John teaches today, these systems are fragile, fickle, and in the end, worthless.  Ultimately, scripture has to be the authority of your life.  It’s God’s word to you.  It’s the only unchanging, right and unending truth there is.  It alone anchors your life, guides your path, and fulfills every longing.

God hasn’t shrouded His Word in mystery. And you don’t need a unique code or an enlightened person to reveal it to you. Today, Pastor John will be telling you that you can read the Bible. You, all on your own – and you can understand it! The Bible was written for God’s children to know Him and His ways. He wants you to invest time in Him by reading Scripture. He wants to show you how you can live a better life that’s honoring to Him and a blessing to you! It’s entirely possible to make this happen!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Psalms chapter 1 as he continues his message The Christian and the Bible.

Pastor John will tell you that it’s possible to live a life that honors the Lord, and it begins by heeding the counsel of His Word! You’ll hear wisdom today from the Bible itself, and it’s truth that applies to you right now, today! Give God’s Word a chance, and see how it can radically change you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Psalms chapter 1 as he begins his message The Christian and the Bible.

The church needs the Bible. But the Bible also needs the church! In today’s teaching, Pastor John will explain that the message of Scripture can’t go forward into the world unless we, the church body, take it! We must hold it out for all to see, to demonstrate it in our actions as well as our words. We can show people the good news within its pages, but they’re not going to pick up a Bible on their own. The church stands firmly on the foundation of the Word and then shares that Word with everyone else!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 2 as he continues his message The Church and the Bible.

Every building needs a good foundation! Without it, the walls will eventually crumble, and then you are left with a pile of ruins. This is true in the physical and spiritual world! The church body needs a solid foundation for faith, and without it, the entire group will collapse when trouble comes! In today’s message, Pastor John will talk about the foundation the Church is built on – the Bible! The faith of every believer comes from the words God has written down in Scripture. It’s the proof and solid foundation of who He is!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 2 as he begins his message, The Church and the Bible.

A misconception believers may have is to trust in their own strength to be a better person.  You may try and try to change habits, mimic Jesus, give up sin, but real transformation will never happen in your life without the Holy Spirit.  Today Pastor John will explain the transformative power of the spirit in your life.  You are saved and made righteous the moment you believe.  But, from that moment on, the spirit begins a work in you to grow you to become more like Jesus.  Don’t resist the work of the spirit.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 2 as he continues his message, The Holy Spirit and the Bible.

How can one even begin to know God?  He is more than we can comprehend.  He is one God, one in essence, but three persons.  This is a mystery to the limited human mind. Yet, it’s through this very mystery that he has chosen to reveal himself to his people.  Today, Pastor John will explain that God can’t be known apart from revelation.   And God uses his spirit to reveal himself to believers.  Only by the work of the spirit can you understand the things of God.  If you want to know God, ask God in the spirit!

We all have traditions. Some are seasonal, some are family- related, and some may even be religious. However, it can be easy to let those practices become the focus! Today, Pastor John will warn you not to let your religious traditions trump what’s in the Bible. You can’t rely on rituals or sayings to save you, after all! Only Jesus saves you from the judgment that comes because of sin. And where can you learn about Jesus? In the Bible – it has all the information you need!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of John chapter 5 as he continues his message Jesus and the Bible.

Do you believe the Bible is true? Some may say no only because it’s hard to understand. But today, you’ll find that you CAN know and understand God’s Word! Today, Pastor John will explain that there’s nothing hidden in Scripture that even a young child couldn’t understand. God has said what He means, and it’s been written down for you to learn. Don’t get caught up in the supposed hidden meanings or try to read between the lines – take the Bible at face value and get to know its Author!
