God is completely holy, and as Pastor John will remind you in his message today, you’re called to be that as well. Of course, there’s no way that you’ll be able to do that on your own! He’ll remind you that growing in your faith is a process – you don’t just wake up one day, and you’ve arrived at perfection! Pastor John will encourage you to make right living a daily practice – adapt your activities and work on taking control of your thoughts. As you do, you’ll notice a change in how you interact with the world!

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

All you are – what you say, what you do, where you are in this world – it’s not for you. If you’re a child of God, you are made for His glory! God made you just as you are with your abilities and talents and placed you at this moment in history. You have a purpose, and that purpose is to serve the Lord who saved you from your sin! Pastor John will be reminding you in today’s message to use your gifts and abilities to show Jesus to this world, and help them see how their lives reflect Him too!

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

This world is tough to live in. There’s so much to pull you down – oppression, death, and destruction, racism – you name it! It’s hard, and it might lead you to question your faith. But there’s Someone who can lift your spirits and give you hope even in the darkness that permeates your life – it’s Jesus! Pastor John will share today that if you love Jesus and dig deep into His love for you, these things won’t drag you down as much. You’ll gain a new perspective, and you’ll be able to move forward with hope!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 1 as he continues his message A Celebration of Salvation.

Pastor John has a truth to share with you in today’s message – if you want to grow in your faith, you’re going to go through trials. That’s just a fact of living as a Christian! Pastor John will remind you how important it is, however, to allow the Lord to do this work in your life. He’s separating the good from the bad, refining your heart and mind to reflect His love for the world better. This process won’t be easy, but living in a fallen world isn’t easy anyway. Don’t forget though – Jesus has already conquered evil!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 1 as he continues his message A Celebration of Salvation.

Would you say that you’re a Christian? And if so, why? You may think that it’s because you live in a particular place, or because your family talks about God a lot. You might even think that because you’ve been to church a few times, you’re good to go. But Pastor John wants to tell you an essential truth about that today – none of that makes you a Christian! None of that saves you from the punishment your sins deserve! But there is something – or rather SOMEONE – who can change all that – Jesus!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 1 as he continues his message A Celebration of Salvation.

Today’s message begins a new study in the book of 1 Peter, a letter written by the Apostle Peter to the Christians of his day. He will start this book with something familiar in many New Testament letters – doctrine! Pastor John will be reminding you today that this is on purpose – you need to understand the doctrine to know how to live this life for Christ! It’s the basis of faith and the basis of your interactions with others. You can’t believe and act on something you know nothing about, after all!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter chapter 1 as he begins his message A Celebration of Salvation.

Prayer is so much more than just asking for what you want. Prayer is meant to give you an experience with God! In today’s message, Pastor John will encourage you to pray to know the Lord in a deeper and more meaningful way. Allow Him to pour into your own life and let Him change your heart! God has a lot to share with you, and He can do that as you study His Word and do things for His glory. However, you may be missing something if you’re not opening your heart to Him in prayer!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 1 for his message, Paul’s Powerful Prayer.

The Holy Spirit is a third member of the Trinity but isn’t as readily discussed as its other members. But, as you’ll learn from Pastor John today, He is immensely important to your life as you follow Jesus! While you may not be able to fully understand His role in the world and in your Salvation, you can trust Him! The Holy Spirit is a gift from God and a blessing to you. He is your guide and your help in all situations, and the one who convicts you when you’ve strayed. And even better, He’s here to stay!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 1 for his message From the Spirit.

Jesus IS the Son of God. He has all the power and authority of the Father and always will. When Jesus came down to live on earth for a short time, people had a hard time believing this about Him! Even now, Pastor John reminds you that many will see Jesus as merely a good man. He’s so much more than that, though – Jesus can forgive sins! He even obediently went to the cross to die for everyone. His death serves as a substitute for yours – and now, you can have new life in Him!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 1 for his message From the Son.

Pastor John will talk today about what it means to live a holy life. He’ll remind you that nothing you can do or say will save you from the judgment your sins deserve – only Jesus can do that! However, once you’re saved, you don’t have a free pass to live whatever lifestyle you want! Pastor John will encourage you to live a life described in Scripture – holy, blameless, and aiming to bring glory to God. You won’t be able to do it on your own, but God will help you grow and change as you continue to seek Him!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 1 for his message From the Father.
